I AM AMAZING

No, really. I am. Want proof?

BOOM

Andrew and I woke up feeling the need to channel IKEA's Cookbook and Longman & Eagle for one reason or another. I think it worked out in everyone's best interest. Here's the evidence:


Crab Cake Bits


Garlic Potato Bits

Hollandaise Bits

Eggs Benedict Bits



And really, not to toot my own horn, BUT IT WAS FABULOUS. I absolutely love when each element of my meals is homemade (save for the mayonnaise + panko crumbs used for the crab cakes). At first I was pretty worried about the hollandaise sauce because I don't have a double boiler and I didn't want my yolks to curdle! but it turned out to be really simple. Next time I definitely plan to make my own english muffins, but I just baked a no-knead loaf so it made sense to use it.



Another awesome meal we made last week (other than all of them? ;P) was Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwiches:


SO delicious

I totally recommend you visit Closet Cooking! If you decide to make this sandwich I suggest you up the jalapeño count as well as add some extra cream cheese.

So, I feel the need to express how dire our kitchen situation was for, oh, about the last month?? We were literally down to condiments and frozen tater tots before we finally went to the grocery store. In celebration of finally having food, I made the world's largest batch of shakshuka but Andrew and I gobbled it down before he had a chance to take any photos. This week I'll be making pizza, pasta and pie! Cooking is fun again, yay :D
