I don't know about you but our house LOVES peanut sauce with any kind of Asian food. This paring of peanut sauce with Asian food is comparable to our love for butter with bread or cream with coffee. ( I hope you're following me there) I had peanut sauce in the past but had not started to appreciated it until I started to frequent our local <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/pho-tai-burien">Pho</a> restaurant about 5 years ago. This is where the love of peanut sauce was born into something shy of an addiction. Every time we went to Pho my sister and I got a side of peanut sauce. Not just one side - each of us had our own side and we would devour it. The peanut sauce was the highlight of our meal ( sad but true). I had always thought of peanut sauce as "restaurant food" and far too complicated to make. Until we were became regulars at the Pho restaurant only for the peanut sauce - I'm talking weekly we would go get peanut sauce. At that point I decided I needed to learn how to make my own peanut sauce. <br />
<br />
This recipe has been modified over the past two years and you can play around with it too to get the consistency you want along with the flavor you want. <br />

Alright friends- I have to confess I have been holding something back on the cooking front and not sharing <strike>one of </strike>my most coveted cookbooks. I own 2 of these 5 cookbooks by Michelle Huxtable - <a href="http://thegatheringoffriends.com/about/">Michelle's website</a> and I love them. To put my love in perspective on these cookbooks I don't loan them out to family or friends and I would loan all my other cookbooks. Ill make you a copy or send you the link on how order them because don't want to risk them not returning. I have cooked the majority of recipes, used the tablescapes, planned wedding/baby showers and used party planning shopping lists. Now that my most coveted cooking books are reveled I need to start sharing the recipes. <br />
<br />
Last night my sister and brother-in-law came over for a dinner of fish tacos and a movie. I had been planning to make dessert too but we didn't end up eating dinner until 8:30 ( that's what happens when you eat lunch at 3:30) and dessert didn't happen. I should rephrase that...dessert did happen it was just dessert from the freezer with Ice Cream Snickers and Ice Cream Twix that jumped into my cart last week at the store. <br />
<br />
I had mentioned to Bill I was going to make Pumpkin Surprise for dessert last night. And I know better that this man's sweet tooth would not forget that we have ingredients for dessert. The first thing Bill said when he woke up this morning - "Lyd, I wish we had some of that pumpkin dessert". So when we got home from church I made it. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
2. Decide what size baking dishes you're using - pie dishes or a 9x13 baking dish. I used pie dishes. Spray with Pam.<br />

3. Divide your pie mixture into the two even dishes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
4. Now the fun part - divide your yellow cake mix between the 2 dishes. Keep the mix on top and cover all the visible pumpkin mixture.<br />
<br />

<br />
5. Cut butter into small chunks and spread on top of the cake mix. Keep the butter in the fridge until you're ready to use - when its cold it's easy to cut and portion. Then put into the oven. Check at 40 mins until golden brown on top.<br />

<div>
I first discovered Mac and Cheese in all its glory in college, you might be shocked but it is true. I'll admit I was a late bloomer. Our mom never had it as a staple in our house growing up. She cooked a rotation of 10-12 meals but Kraft ( or homemade ) never made her cut. As I began teaching myself to cook I played around with making homemade mac and cheese and have perfected it over the past six years. I would say even BIG KIDS love Mac and Cheese. This has been is my go to meal for a long time and it's easy to modify to your taste of what you have in the fridge. It's even a good meal if your expecting big eaters. I also use this recipe to bring to friends houses for parties or potlucks and we often enjoy it as a side. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
I serve this with a LARGE green salad I say (large) to hopefully counterbalance the calories with the healthy salad. </div>

<b>Ingredient list: </b></div>
<div>
1 stick butter<br />
1/2 loaf french bread cubed with crust on<br />
1 tsp garlic powder<br />
6 cups warm milk ( I use 2% but whole works well too )<br />
1/2 cup all-purpose flour<br />
1 - 2 tsps salt depending on preference<br />
1/2 tsp nutmeg<br />
1 tsp cayenne pepper ( less or optional for less spice)<br />
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper<br />
4 cups white cheddar cheese - I use the large black package Tillamook Aged White Cheddar<br />
1 cups Gruyere ( Trader Joe's is where i go) I have left this out if the store does not have Gruyere or its too expensive<br />
1 package grated Pecorino Romano cheese - or Parmesan cheese works too<br />
1 package/box elbow macaroni or spiral pasta<br />
1 lb package pork sausage- cooked and drained ( spice or mild both work )<br />
1 chopped yellow onion<br />
Pam<br />
<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Set large pasta pot with water and cook pasta to package directions.<br />
<br />
2. Pam your baking dishes, I usually do the following to make smaller dinners for 2-4 people vs 10 as the recipe makes.<br />
Option 1 - 3 - 8x8 or 9x9 dishes <br />
Option 2 - 1 9x13 baking dish and 1 ( 8x8 or 9x9) <br />
<br />
3. Melt 2 tbls butter in a microwaveable bowl, add cubed bread and toss with butter and the 1 tsp of garlic powder .<br />

toss and set aside.<br />
<br />
3. Melt the remaining butter in a large dutch oven. When the butter starts to bubble and is fully melted wisk the flour, cook and stir 2-5 mins until the flour forms a thick paste. In the mean time put your milk ( I use a 4 cup glass mixing cup) and warm in the microwave. <br />
<br />

4. While whisking start adding the warm milk about 1/2 cup at a time and whisk until smooth. The mixture should be thick and creamy after about 10 mins of cooking. After it is thick add in your salt, pepper, nutmeg , cayenne and keep on warm.<br />

4. As your sauce rests start cooking your pork sausage - cook and drain off all fat and allow to set on a paper towel to drain.<br />

6. By this time your pasta should be finished, drain and distribute the cooked pasta to buttered pans allowing about 1/4- 1/3 in from the top of the pan. <br />
<br />
7. Turn your cream sauce off and remove from heat, add in sausage and onion mix. Then add all 4 cups of your grated cheddar cheese and about the Gruyere cheese. Pour cheese/sausage mixture evenly over the prepared dishes with the cooked pasta in them. allow to rest and lightly tap on the country to get the bubbles out and allow mixture to distribute into pasta.<br />
<br />
8. You're almost done!!! Revisit your bread topping and place on top of your pasta then finish with your Parmesan or Pecorino Romano. Put your finished dish into the preheated oven or freeze depending on what you're doing with each dish.<br />
<br />
Cook for 40 mins<br />
<br />

Here your finished cooked product is:<br />

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you're rested and ready for a short work week. I am also looking forward to Thanksgiving and seeing our family. I'm making appetizers for this Thanksgiving and have been creating some great appetizer boards on Pinterest. Here is what Bill and I had for dinner tonight..I didn't feel like going to the store and had a lot of things on hand so here is what I came up with. I had bought the pasta shells awhile back to make an Italian dish but I had more of the ingredients for a Mexican theme. We loved them and you will too with the countless variations you can create. They are a repeat meal! (And a freezer meal)<br />

For those of you who live by me, <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/king-wha-restaurant-burien-2">King Wha Restaurant</a> has been the iconic Chinese food restaurant in the little land we live and love call Burien. When I would tell people I lived in Burien they only know the name because King Wha, the best Chinese food restaurant was there. I have been going to King Wha since I was in grade school and I have always stayed true to my order, Hot and Sour soup, Mu Shu Pork and Mandarin Chicken. All of these items I had also deemed in my head "restaurant food" and had never tried at home until today....I made Mu Shu Pork!! And in my option it turned out better than King Wha, and it was easy!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: inherit;">4. Heat up your frying pan be sure to use a non-stick or a Wok. I used a 10 in cast iron non-stick on Med-High heat. When pan is hot add 1 </span></span>tablespoon<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: inherit;"> oil. Add your 2-3 scrambled eggs to the pan and scramble eggs until no longer runny. Remove egg and wipe pan clean with a </span></span>paper towel.</div>

4. After pan has been cleaned out heat 1-2 tablespoon oil on Med-High heat and add in the chopped ginger until fragrant then add in the pork and the marinade and cook pork until no longer pink. Some of the pieces will stick to the bottom but that's okay, just done let it burn. </div>

5.Add mushrooms to hot oil and allow to reduce 2 minutes until they begin to wilt. Add bamboo shoots and 1/2 of your bunch of onion then add the pork and eggs back into hot pan and turn heat to high and add your reserved sauce. Allow all flavors to blend and sauce to thicken ( about 5 mins) .</div>

I found this 7 Layer Greek Dip recipe in a QFC coupon mailer back in April. It floated around my house for a month before I got all the ingredients I needed. I knew it would be an instant hit and relatively simple to make. It was everything I had hoped for and more..... pairing Greek Salad and 7 Layer Taco Dip two of our favorites into one wonderful creation. <br />

<br />
Today I wanted to share with you a new discovery of working with rice paper wrappers and my fascination with Vietnamese cooking. I have always thought of Fresh Spring Roll as restaurant food. When I say "restaurant food" I need to define that in my words, it's food I never imagined being able to make at home. Something too that I would not consider attempting or know where to begin to shop for the ingredients. About 5 years go I had my first fresh spring roll at Pho Thai Burien and could not believe how delicious it was. It was packed full of vegetables fresh mint, basil, rice noodle and shrimp all rolled into a wrapper. And then dip in a creamy peanut butter sauce or a hot chili sauce. I loved these rolls so much that it justified going to Pho Thai Burien at least once a week for dinner. <br />
<br />
When Bill asked today what I wanted for my birthday dinner, I told him I wanted to try to make Pho Thai's Spring Rolls. So he sent me flowers and we went and shopped for the ingredients. <br />

<br />
<br />
Prep time: 25-30 mins<br />
<b>Ingredients: </b><br />
<b>Rolls: </b><br />
8 large rice wrappers<br />
1 large bowl of hot tap water<br />
2 cups fresh bean sprouts<br />
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots<br />
1 cucumber (peeled and julienne)<br />
20 leaves of Thai basil or fresh mint<br />
2 cups mixed baby greens salad mix<br />
1/2 lb cooked and peeled shrimp butterfly cut (51/60) *any protein you can use; chicken, pork tofu*<br />
1/2 lb cooked rice noodles (optional)<br />
<b>Sauce:</b><br />
(your choice)<br />
Peanut Sauce<br />
Any Asian style dressing<br />
Thai Chili Sauce<br />
<br />
** Most restaurants will use noodles as fillers to add density, if you're going to use rice noodles cook to package instruction and let cool. I didn't use in my rolls and they were not missed**<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1. Prepare all vegetables and butterfly your shrimp for easy rolling.<br />

<br />
2. One all roll ingredients are prepared put hot tap water in a dish. Each wrapper will need 3-8 seconds in the hot water depending on how hot your water is. <br />

4. Cut them at an angle and serve! You can also wrap them individually in plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for a day. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, I used home made peanut sauce.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday in Seattle it was pouring down rain. It felt like November and it's June. I had some ladies coming over for a <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/style/trunkshow/c54766fd-a52c-11e1-ad30-005056b55330">Stella and Dot</a> trunk show and I knew that something warm would pair well with some of the appetizers I had planned for 70 degree weather. With that being said I made Split Pea Soup. Growing up our Grandma and Mom would make pea soup after Easter lunch. Mom would prepare everything in Grandma's large soup pot and let it simmer for the next 6 hrs and we would have soup and homemade french bread for dinner. Hannah, Abby and I all have fond memories of this once a year soup. As I got older and started cooking more in college, soups were one of the first things I mastered. Soups are still my go to for all party gatherings. I don't know about you, but for me it's hard to say no to a bowl of soup. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This soup makes a lot. So the remainder I usually divide it into freezer bags. When you want to reheat, defrost in fridge the day before and add water or chicken broth to desired consistency. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this recipe on Pinterest about two months ago - <a href="http://chaosinthekitchen.com/2009/07/lime-and-coconut-chicken/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%253A+ChaosInTheKitchen+%2528chaos+in+the+kitchen%2529">Chaos In The Kitchen</a> . We have made this dish twice since "pinning" it. It's easy, the first time we used the grill and the second time I used my "inside grill"..... I planned tonight to grill the chicken on the grill. It's sunny and gorgeous outside, Bill went to fire up the grill and poof, we are out of gas. Realizing this last minute and not wanting my house to smell like curry you'll enjoy the "inside grill" Bill rigged up. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am pretty excited about this post. Taquitos have always been something I seek out on a menu regardless if it's a Mexican restaurant or a bar appetizer. I will also admit when I'm shopping at Costco and hungry, I sneak in a box of frozen taquitos into the cart. I love taquitos! When I saw this recipe on <a href="http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2010/04/baked-creamy-chicken-taquitos.html">The Girl Who Ate Everything</a>'s blog I thought about it for a week before I made it. ( I am still thinking about them) This recipe was fun, versatile and not fried! Delicious results, creamy, flavorful and easy! I made these with 20 flour tortillas and a few of corn ( gluten free option, but the flour was better :) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this recipe on <a href="http://sweetpeaskitchen.com/2011/09/03/pizza-pretzel-bites/">Sweet Pea's Kitchen </a> blog and I have always loved her ideas and inspirations. She inspired me to make these because I love pretzels, all kinds of pretzels from Rold Gold to Auntie Ann's. Whenever they are at a party my hand is always in the bowl. I had not made pretzels since 7th grade in Ms. Strayer's HomeEc class....that was 15 years ago. I also remember the pretzels looking very anemic and tasting like salted pizza dough.....This pretzel challenge changed my mind-Yes I can make real looking and great tasting pretzels! I will be repeating this recipe again in the future. I want to try stuffing with cheese, sausage, maybe even chocolate. Here is how mine turned out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Preheat your oven to 425. Now here is where it gets weird. Take large pot of water ( I used this 7 qt cast iron pan) filled it with about 6 cups of water and 1 cup baking soda. The water will be milky. Once water starts to boil put your stuffed bites into the water. Boil for about 30-40 seconds until they puff up and float to the top. This seals the pretzel and make the pretzel have that chewy outside ( the missing step from my 7th grade ) </span></div>

Remove from heat and stir in the orange peel and chiles; set aside. This takes about 20 mins on high to reduce. I started in my dutch oven but it my fry pan got hotter so I would suggest using a fry pa</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love allrecipes.com and I look forward to their daily e-mail of someone else making suggestions of what I should make for dinner. I even have a folder in my e-mail that is for allrecipes.com. I got this recipe e-mailed to me a few weeks back and gave it a try the other night. Here is how it turned out. Worthy of a repeat! Just what I had hoped it would taste like and look like.
