Carboholics

This Friday the 19th will be Carboholics night at my house. I will be making baked potato soup in bread bowls (so good!) Please remember to make small portions so that we all don't burst at the seams! See you there!

Paleo

Let's try this out and see how we like this new trend of eating. I call it "new trend " but isn't the claim that man ate this way from the beginning of time? Well, I'll never give up my ice cream but it might be fun for a night. We'll see what we can come up with anyways. It will be fun!!!
Stamps house. 7pm. This Saturday, August. 23.make sure you put your name beside a dish so we don't all bring dessert. I'm not saying I wouldn't mind 6 desserts;)

Kid's Food Redeux

Sometimes you just get a hankerin' for some corn dogs or mac'n'cheese. But ... it's corn dogs and mac'n'cheese, and you're an adult! Yes, it's fine to open up the blue box of cheesy goodness every once in a while, but we're good cooks, and we can do better!

This month's cooking club is Kid's Food Redeux, so find your favorite simple food from yore (or your kids' favorite recipe from now) and dress it up! I'm planning on doing a take on corn dogs, for example, with brats instead and some sort of fried coating. Other ideas might include pop corn, Jello, Kool-aid, Tang, cereal, chicken nuggests, french fries, freezer pops, and of course, mac'n'cheese.

Dressing these up might take some imagination, and I understand I'm late in posting this, so do your best and we'll have a great time even if we have to break out the hot dogs!

FYI, we'll be enjoying dinner outside (like last time) under the canopy (not like last time). I'll provide blankets if it gets cool. Friday night at 7:00. Call me, April, or Serin for an address.

Greek Night - Photos/Recipes (edit post to add your recipe)

2 cans garbanzo beans, drained
1 sm-med red onion
4-5 cloves garlic
1/2 C parsley
2 t kosher salt
1 t oregano
1 t coriander
3/4 t cumin
8 T chickpea flour
Juice of ¼ lemon
Combine all the ingredients EXCEPT garbanzo beans and pulverize them in a food processor. Add garbanzo beans and pulse until combined (you want it to stick together, but not be mush).

Let rest in fridge for two hours (very important) and deep fry 350-375° until golden brown
