Yummy things

I saw an image on my FoodGawker widget and had to go take a look. The gal has a Food Photos widget which I've been looking for...

But I had to get off the computer so my husband could practice singing before band practice! (And he's the guitarist!)

Back on, I couldn't find that website so I started browsing the FoodGawker website's Popular pages and oh, what I found!

April Fool's Meatloaf Cupcakes (with pink mashed potato "frosting"!)

5-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

No Fuss, Authentic Thai Peanut Sauce

Three Cheese Mini Macs (macaroni & cheese?)

Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup

Even an entry for making a homemade Light Box in order to make your food pictures look even better!

And I can't wait to read this one about a Spongebob drink. My daughter ♥LOVES♥ Spongebob!

Meanwhile, I'm making Lemon-Pepper French Fries since my mom stopped by Sonic and brought us a bunch of burgers! (My sister-in-law makes her french fries this way too!)

BEEF: Mexican Burger Casserole

Have hamburger meat. Want something more:

CHICKEN: Mexican Recipes

I bought chicken the other day and want to make something with it for dinner tonight. I looked at my aunt's Chicken Spaghetti recipe, but we had spaghetti last night... So I got to thinking about my cousin's Mexican Chicken recipe made with Doritos. While searching for Mexican recipes made with chicken, I found this great website: http://www.mexgrocer.com/mexican-recipes-poultry.html

There's even a video on the Chicken Enchilada page.

Chicken Flautas sounds good too... (Another recipe. One from AllRecipes.com)


What to serve with it? How about Mexican Red Rice!

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Danny wants Stuffed Bell Peppers for supper tonight. I made him some years ago and he critiqued me so much I vowed to never make them again. I brought him some home from church recently that Mrs. Tucker made and he must have liked them enough that it got him to hankerin' some more! :)

So, I'm searching for a recipe and man there are a bunch:

Dad's Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipe

Mom's Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipe

This one is made with crackers and has a cheese sauce that you pour over the end product.

This one uses stuffing/breading mix and cheddar cheese or tomato sauce with parsley.

He wants one that has cheese AND rice. This one has brown rice & tomato sauce, while this one is more complicated but with white rice.

This search is for "stuffed bell peppers" & this one is for "rice stuffed bell peppers".

This recipe has rice, tomatoes and corn!**

**I'm trying this one, but Danny plucked some Rosemary from the yard and wanted me to include it, so in it goes. I'm using Mexican corn instead of sweet and Rotel instead of just tomato juice. So we'll see how it turns out!

This one has rice, tomatoes, cheese and Worcestershire sauce. (Meanwhile I found this...)

Here's a Cajun recipe made with Rotel and sausage! And this one is made with a jalapeno cornbread mix.

Danny's dad went to the hospital today. His nurse said that his kidneys may be failing...

Wedding Punch

Mom came over and brought a recipe book that had a stuffed bell pepper recipe in it and she found what she thinks was the Wedding Punch recipe she used at my wedding:

1 - 12 oz can frozen orange juice diluted with 2 cans of water
1 - 12 oz can frozen lemonade
2 c. pineapple juice
½ c. sugar
½ c. water
1 quart of gingerale

Mix orange juice, lemonade and pineapple juice and set aside. Boil sugar and water for 8 min. Chill until ready to use. At serving pour gingerale into juice mixture. Freezes well without gingerale.
**Yields 1 gallon or 30 cups.

Sample Menus

I've been designing my own home menu for a while now - which is how this website even got started! And today I found a website with menu templates on it. This one is my favorite one so far:

"Nibbles" Trifold Takeout Menu - Outside

"Nibbles" Trifold Takeout Menu - Inside

"Nibbles" Favorite Foods Cafe Menu

"Domenico's" Favorite Foods Pizza Menu

and even the Vegetarian Menu variation

Here it is in Red Check for Breakfast and the Vegetarian Juice Bar Menu.

I just love all of the favorite-foods-word-art on these sample menus!
