Still Cookin' and a Photo Dump

I know I've had radio silence for a couple months now but there really hasn't been all that much blog-worthy to report.  Well, I *have* been cooking up a storm, as usual, but I am horrible about remembering to take pictures of my food before I start eating and I'm pretty sure you don't want to see pictures of the aftermath that is my plate.

A friend of mine asked me recently why I don't post all of my recipes online and I didn't really have a good answer.  So I went through my binder of keeper recipes and added them all to my Recipage.  These are all recipes that I have made in the past year that are good enough to make again and again.  Some of them get made quite often and others are ones I know I want to make again.

Want to see what I added?  Just click on the Recipage button over in the side bar and have fun browsing!  Or, you can click here: My Recipage.  There are currently 115+ recipes over there and I will update it periodicially.

To kind of put it into perspective, only 1 in about 4 recipes I make get put into my keeper binder.  Which means I've made/tried over 400 new recipes in the past year!  If there's interest, I can do a post about how I manage my recipes.  As a prewarning, I do have Luddite tendencies!  LOL

Now, since text only posts are boring, here is picture dump for you to enjoy. :)

My take on pizza burgers.  I just mixed 1 lb of my Italian sausage with 1 lb of ground beef then made burger patties stuffed with pizza sauce and mozzarella and topped with more pizza sauce.  The oven fries are tossed with Italian seasoning and Parmesan. 
Egg rolls stuffed with leftover pulled pork, BBQ sauce, pepperjack cheese and colby jack cheese.  Dipped in ranch dressing.

I just love the smell and look of roasted chicken. :)

Pulled pork sammiches, baked mac and cheese, and coleslaw.  All 3 recipes are over on my Recipage. :)

I went to Vape-a-palooza with Andy and our friend Ryan (both facing away from us in the center).

Ryan is in the center with the crew from mtbakervapor.com

I've even started vaping a little even though I've never smoked because there are some REALLY good vapor flavors out there!  And since they also come with 0 nicotine, I can safely enjoy them.

New Apron

Still alive and still cooking A LOT!  The food blog has really taken off which isn't leaving much room for much else.  I really need to get crafty some time soon. But, I did recently find some time to design myself a brand new apron! Here's a more detailed image of my design: At least I am finding ways to combine my 2 passions! :)

Mmm, mmm, good!

There has really been nothing remarkable going on the past few weeks.  I've made a bunch of yummy food but by the time I am done cooking it, I am so excited to eat it that I forget to take pictures until I am putting away leftovers. :P  This is the only meal that made it and it's probably the most boring visually.  LOL  It was absolutely delicious, though!  I present to you roasted tomato soup and grilled ham & cheese on homemade bread!  I am not a huge fan of soup and never have been.  Tomato soup is one of the few I enjoy because it is creamy and smooth and doesn't look predigested to me.  Now that I have had this, I will never, ever be able to eat canned tomato soup again.  Ever. You can find the recipe for the soup here.   I will also be adding the Pumpkin and Mushroom Lasagna, Shepherd's Pie, and Cherry Bread recipes soon.  Even though the temps are still in the 80's (upper 20's celsius) here in Atlanta, I ...

Sashi Goes On Vacation

I decided I really needed a vacation yesterday so I took a quick trip around the world and got some nice locals to snap pictures of me here and there.  I decided if I was going to go on a trip, I would go in style so I took off in a stretch limo.*  It had a bed covered with kittens for napping between stops, a full stocked bacon bar, and the entire Murder, She Wrote series in the DVD player.  I was set! pic source My first stop was to check out the nightlife in New York City.  Times Square was amazing and I met the nicest man who demanded all my money.  I offered him bacon instead and he was happy enough to take this pic for me. pic source I then skedaddled over to San Francisco to see if the sisters from Charmed were home but they must have been out fighting demons.  I even looked for them at one of their favorite hangouts. pic source From there I bounced down to Brazil and met a wonderful group of kids.  Their teache...
