December 24, 2011- Noodle Bake

Noodle Bake

This is our Christmas Eve tradition Nick and I have established. It is also a family tradition meal in my (Becca's) family. Although Nick and I have altered the recipe a bit. It is a really yummy noodle dish that consists of layering noodles and making a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream and putting that in the middle. You use a marinara sauce on the bottom and I put it on top of the cream cheese/sour cream mixture to make sure the bake is extra saucy. You put noodles on the top, sauce over the noodles, and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. The original recipe calls for ground beef and green onions. We obviously don't use the ground beef and Nick doesn't like green onions. It is a really delicious bake that we love eating.




































We also made some scones to bring over for Christmas tomorrow at Nick's parent's house. They are peppermint chocolate scones. They have peppermint extract and chocolate chips on the inside as well as a chocolate drizzle and crushed candy canes on top. We hope everyone likes them!

December 12, 2011- Cream of Zucchini Soup

Cream of Zucchini Soup

This is our first time trying this soup today. Nick made it so it was extra special :) We were inspired to try this soup because we had some cream of zucchini soup with kale at Fresh Choice. This soup is a little different because it has rice in it. It is a rice and onion soup base. You can use water or broth or milk or a combination. Since Nick is lactose intolerant we did a sort of combination of milk and broth. The zucchini soup has zucchini and sour cream. The zucchini base is blended in batches to make it smooth. And then you mix it all together. We actually had the soup with the sour cream served on top which was good. We served the soup with some Parmiaggo rosemary rolls from Trader Joes. Yum!
