A new format to this blog!

I've been asked to supply recipes to my blog.  I am going to begin a new format.  Video or photo and then recipe following.  Be patient, this will begin very soon.....

Peachy Keen night!

Had a great supper with my husband tonight.  Shrimp Creole with brown rice and vegetables.  For dessert,  Peach jello salad.  It's called a salad, but its a great dessert.  Light and refreshing.    I've made it with strawberry and bananas - but the peach seems much lighter.  YUMM

Friday Night Dinner Party

Last night I made a dinner that turned out fabulous.  My guests really enjoyed it and I have to admit, so did I!
Sometimes things don't turn out the way you want them to and some dinners can be a disaster, but last night it all went according to plan!
I made my fried ravioli as appetizer while we had drinks.  I made three kinds.  Filled with spinach, crabmeat and smoked mozarella cheese.  I did put a picture of the fried favioli in this blog, a while back.
Next came salad.  I made an antipasto salad consisting of lettuce and a beautiful array of meats and vegetables along with White Balsamic Vinegrette dressing.
OK,  main course.  Timbale - an Italian pasta dish baked in a "crust" of grilled eggplant.  It was marvelous! and it came out of the springform pan without a hitch!  Served it with Italian Sausage grilled with tomatoes.  Wow,  it was quite a dinner! 
For dessert, I made a 9" chocolate layer cake.  Filled with Nutella spread, strawberries and Chocolate whipped cream filling.  Finished the cake with the chocolate cream filling as a frosting and topped with chocolate dipped strawberries.  Served ice cold.  Great! 
I'm posting pictures of the Timbale and the Chocolate cake.  It was a wonderful dinner party!

Sunday night chili!

Had an overwhelming taste today for chili.  Ever get that way?  I loaded it with shredded cheese, sour cream and lots of onions.  Oh,  don't forget the oyster crackers.   Mmmmmmm!  A good waya to end a week...

Friday Night special: Tuna & Peas over Whole Wheat Spaghetti

What to cook tonight??  Been busy all day cleaning and rearranging furniture.  Don't have many supplies in the house....Oh well when all else fails cook PASTA!  My mother used to make this dish for us when we were growing up, only I added the peas to the mix and the wine in the sauce.  My husband loves this dish and was really happy when I told him I would make it.  It turned out delicious!  Thanks Mom!!

Busy, busy, baking!

Made mini Snickers Cheesecakes last night.  They turned out delicious and beautiful.  Peanut butter, nuts and caramel with chocolate ganache frosting.  Pretty good!!!

Peanut Butter Surprise Cupcakes!

Fooling around in the kitchen and created peanut butter filled cupcakes.  Made yellow and chocolate, frosted them and made them look pretty.  Interesting filling with peanut butter.  Also,  a layered cheesecake.  I haven't taken a picture of the cheesecake yet.  Will put it on tomorrow.  Cupcakes are here though!
