Adventure #1001

Place: Home
When: Summer 2008
What: Learning To Cook

This summer I have learned that I like to cook and can cook. I have found love in a few blogs that have tips and advice on how to save money, feed a family and great recipes. I found I love Cumin, so, so yummy! It has a very nice smokey flavor. I told Jason I am going to put it in pancakes now too!

A Great place to look for recipes is Recipezaar. You can look for recipes through ingredients, recipes and members, plus lots more. My favorite recipes so far are Oven Fried Chimichangas, they are so delicious! I used fresh Cilantro and Green Enchilada sauce and garlic. These were so good. Another great recipe was Baby Red Salt Potatoes. I made these for a little party i had and everyone loved them. We also had some not so good recipes like this one. Today I am making This and This. I will let you know how they go!

Any favorite recipes? Let me know!

My supper turned out pretty darn well. I served my carnitas on a warm tortilla, cheddar cheese, and lettuce. I also decided to make homemade spanish rice, that was very good too. The only thing was the Carnitas was it needed SALT! I also didn't make the Oatmeal Cream Pies, soon! I made Candycoated Puffcorn. We had this at Relay for Life and it was very yummy! I couldn't find a recipe but just melted a package of Vanilla Almond Bark in the Microwave with a little shortening and then dumped the whole bag of puffcorn into a paperbag and then drizzled the melted almond bark on top and then I shook it.
