Weekly Recipe Recap #1

I'm going to attempt to do a little post on recipes I've made throughout each week!  This first one will be a test of sorts, to see if I actually cook enough to warrant an entry like this on a weekly basis, and to figure out what format I want to use/notes to include/etc. I'll start with the weekends, because that's when I tend to do much of my cooking:

Saturday, June 28:

• Twice Baked Shortbread fer me ma! Delicious. Second time I've made it, and it's so easy and so delicious!  Stays fresh and good for a long time, too, if you can resist eating it.
• Roasted peppers with capers and mozzarella. I roasted the peppers for this recipe, peeled, de-seeded, and got them marinatin' for a meal tomorrow (Wednesday).

Sunday, June 29:

• Smoked salmon, artichoke, and goat cheese quiche!  This is a game changer.  It's so tasty, and wasn't too much work to make (I did use a pre-made crust...).  I'll be making more quiches. I put a few slices in the fridge for lunches, and sliced the rest (about half of it) to freeze for later.

Monday, June 30:
- Today I went to garden district with Kyle and a bunch of great people, and I had some lovely beers and the lovely, lovely MUNICH BRAT WITH KRAUT. And fried pickles, of course!

Tuesday, July1
- After I have some reheated quiche and carrots + hummus for dinner, I'm going to make:

• Brown butter banana bread - got some ripe bananas that need to be used, and Eleanor loves banana bread!

Wednesday, July 2

• Mmm, ate the roasted peppers and capers today with fresh mozzarella, Robusto cheese, fresh bread and butter. It was goooood.  Still no drinking because of Tuesday horrible hangover.

Thursday, July 3

• No real cooking today - crisped up some Pork Belly, cooked some carrots, and had Japanese sweet potatoes.

Friday, July 4
- I made two VERY yummy recipes for the Fourth today!! 

• First, I made a big ole batch of these Salted Watermelon Margaritas, but added more booze, less simple syrup, and more pureed watermelon. I also just peeled whole limes and tossed them into the Vitamix. Really good.
• Beer braised brats with cabbage-apple slaw! I threw some Chorizo sausages in with the German pork sausages.  The slaw was great - lots of vinegar and grainy mustard!

So, that was my first post attempting to record my weekly cooking exploits. I have no light in my apartment, so it's rare you'll see pictures of me cooking these things, or the finished products.  But you might be surprised one day!
