Meal Thirteen: Loaded Carbonara

This week's meal tasted great, but was team effort. When I offered the options to Bubbles, he responded "Bacon Bacon Bacon!", so Loaded Carbonara was the menu selection.

The flavor was great, but it wasn't simple! Squirt ended up helping Dory out, as the final blend of cheese and hot egg was a bit involved. It is important to incorporate it slowly, so you don't end up with scrambled eggs, yet you need enough heat to melt the cheese. Surprisely, this version of carbonara did not call for cream (white wine instead) and the cheese needed some extra persuation to get creamy. A few short trips in the microwave to gentley melt it and lots of whisking eggs combined to a delicious finale.

Our side items were different - with Caesar salad rather than mixed greens, and some sauteed squash from our friend Roger's vegetable garden. YUM!

Meal Seven : Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy

This meal had a few doubters at the start, but it was a big success. Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy served over Cheese Grits ... southern goodness from a Yankee chef! The king kutter provided perfectly shredded cheese- as usual.

Meal Three: Pasta Bar

Pasta Bar gives plenty of yummy options our different eaters. There was even a special Birthday cupcake for my little guy... Banana with Peanut Butter Frosting homemade by T!

Meal Seventeen: Mm-possible Cheeseburger Pie

This was a favorite of Tigger's growing up. His Grandma would make it for him and even gave me copy of the recipe with her added notes (more cheese ... sometimes I leave off the tomatoes...) . Tigger has been missing his grandpa recently as he refinishes his old drafting table, so a little homage was a good solution. Its more known as Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie today and some sauteed corn worked right along side. Hooray for childhood treats!
