Some New Favorites

I don't have any photos to share at this time, but Eric and I have each tried new recipes lately that we consider to be worth repeating.

Eric made Cuban Crêpes, a recipe from some "Throwdown" winners who own and operate Flip Happy Crêpes out of Austin, Texas. The recipe involved roasting a boneless pork butt in the oven in a paper bag (!) for 4.5 hours and making some tasty crêpes. José, I have to say that Eric rivaled you in his crêpe-cooking skills! The only trouble with this recipe is that we made them for part of the fare offered while watching the hideous Pats v. Jets playoff game, so there's a chance that Eric can never make them again. Let us know if you want the recipe.

I recently made a Creamy Cauliflower Soup Sans Cream from the same cookbook where I got the Herbed Olives and the Goat-Cheese Mini Puffs that I made for our tapas night. This soup was very easy and quite delicious. It mainly involves Spanish onions, celery, cauliflower, and chicken broth, and I would say it is very low in fat. I may make it again tonight! Let me know if you are interested in that recipe as well.

What have you been cooking during all these snowstorms?

  1. My freezer is full of tupperware with chili and homemade chicken soup. Excellent snowday foods. Next up is Guinness Beef Stew.
