May 25, 2012- PARTY!
Tonight we had a party with a bunch of my friends from my graduate school program over. I don't really feel like recounting everything we had to eat but I know I made some tortellini kebobs with pesto ranch, stuffed mushrooms, homemade strawberry shortcake, a chocolatey peanut butter dessert, and a cheese pizza. Other people brought things too. We had a lot of fun and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning. Yay!!
May 24, 2012- Portobello Mushroom "Cheesesteak" Sandwiches
Portobello Mushroom "Cheesesteak" Sandwiches
We have had these many times and hadn't had them in a while so it was about time. You sautee mushrooms in olive oil with some oregano. I also have some red pepper with mine so I do mine and Nick's separately. You then let some swiss cheese melt on top and put the mushrooms into a toasted bun. We had a pretzel roll that we shared and it was a really large sandwich but was really delicious.

Pizza Tortilla Rolls
Nick had class tonight so I needed something simple to make for dinner. These are exactly what they sound. You make a tortilla and spread pizza sauce over them and then sprinkle cheese and roll them up. You bake them on a cookie sheet and sprinkle cheese on top. They are really good and super easy to make.

Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie
This is a recipe we have been having for quite a while. It is really delicious. The bottom has cannellini beans, peas, potatos, carrots, broth, and some spices. The top has sweet potatoes with cinnamon and parmesan cheese. It is a simple meal to make and it really yummy.

Spaghetti
It had been a while since I made homemade spaghetti sauce so I decided to make some for dinner tonight. The sauce has chopped mushrooms and carrots sauteed in olive oil with garlic. I then add tomato sauce and tomato paste as well as some sugar and some spices. I also add a little bit of parmesan cheese to my sauce. It may not be an authentic Italian sauce but I like it! :)

May 20, 2012- Roasted Quinoa with Potatoes and Cheese
Roasted Quinoa with Potatoes and Cheese
This is a recipe we tried a month or so ago. You start cooking quinoa and add the potatoes in to begin cooking with some whole cloves of garlic. You then spread the quinoa and potatoes out onto a cookie sheet and bake it for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. You sprinkle cheese on top and bake it until the cheese is melted. Then you serve. This would also be good as a breakfast dish.

May 19, 2012- Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes and Spaghetti
Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes and Spaghetti
We had spent some time over at Nick's parents and we decided to have them over for dinner and make what we originally planned (sweet potatoes) and what they planned (spaghetti) for dinner. The twice baked sweet potatoes had sour cream, butter, and brown sugar in them. We topped them off with some walnuts. The spaghetti was a cappellini pasta with some tomato basil sauce and parmesan. It was a random and spontaneous get together but it was good nonetheless. :)
