The other day I visited with Heather. It was her fault that I just sat down because she did just invite me to “Join us, Pull up a Chair“. And since she was my ‘assignment’ for SRC I knew she wouldn’t mind a long visit. Because it was. It took a while to find the recipes I wanted to make. Not because I couldn’t find anything but because I found lots of things to chose from. But I had to narrow it down – a lot – from the 15 recipes I Pinned.
But I did!
I started with dessert. I mean, why not?
With a maple cream filling. No need to make any changes here. Except when I went to pull out my treasured jug of REAL GOOD Maple syrup, it wasn’t there! Bother! So I added some coconut to the cream filling. Still tasty! The Man ate all of them.
After enjoying a sweet treat we moved on to a tasty supper.
I do love pizza. With lots of cheese. The more melty the better. I don’t love crust, not because I don’t love bread, but I don’t need the carbs. So when I saw Heather’s LOW CARB PIZZA CASSEROLE I knew I had to try it. All the joys of pizza WITHOUT the crust. Altho’ I did kinda miss the crust to sop up the juicy goodness in the bottom. What we have here is mushrooms, Italian seasoning, Mozzarella, and sausage baked in a lovely tomato sauce. The only change I made was to leave off the turkey pepperoni. Not a fan. Definitely a repeat for lunch!
I have two MAJOR fave foods. A good steak. Anything with Shrimp. And I also like easy dishes. This one is basically made in one skillet. Just one. Not lots of pots and pans to clean up with this one. That’s a good thing with these long days and late cooking. So for dinner:
…which is just as good as it sounds. I have two MAJOR fave foods. A good steak. Anything with Shrimp. And I also like easy dishes. This one is basically made in one skillet. Just one. Not lots of pots and pans to clean up with this one. That’s a good thing with these long days and late cooking. The only change I made – instead of just salt and pepper mixed with the sugar to cook the shrimp I added some Creole seasoning to add some heat! YUM!!
I’m definitely coming back for Heather’s Upside Down Sausage and ‘hroom Pizza, her Quinoa Mac & Cheese, and her Mad Hatter Salad when I have more than two people to feed. And THEN after I had my choices and was writing she goes and adds Slow Cooker Au Gratin Potatoes. **SIGH** so add those to the list as well. {She may have a longer visit than she anticipated. 🙂 } And…. the Baked Zucchini Fries just might be on the menu tonight! And maybe the Apple Pie Empanadas for dessert?
