New Blog!

This is a group of 13 friends and neighbors that get together once a month to enjoy good food and share recipes. Each month a different girl hosts and does all the cooking. Every few months we have a "couples night" which means we get to bring our husbands and two girls work together to host the increased crowd. By the years end, each of us has only had to cook one great meal and in exchange you get to enjoy 9 others!

Michelle B.'s test kitchen night

 

Baked Brie appetizer

I used the same dried berry mixture as I explained below for the rice and used pistachios instead. 


Maple Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes

I used the chipotle peepers in adobo sauce (you don't need much)!  I also tossed them with some brown sugar to caramelize them a little.





For the wild rice I substituted the mulberries with a mixture of cranberries, golden raisins, and cherries.  I also used the cultivated wild rice and followed the cooking time directions on the bag.  Definitely use a pressure cooker (otherwise it takes a very long time to cook)!

For the salad I used a mixture of arugula and spinach (watercress is hard to find)!


Coconut Cream Cheese pound cake (if using a bunt pan, the cook time was more like 80 min)
