Can I start this post off with an "ugh", please!? I seriously am just overcoming the worst cold I have had in a very very long time. My mother says it's what I get for living in Florida and not being sick for over a year! ;)
I'm sitting here re-watching The Glades -- yeah-yeah-yeah what can I say I like the show even though must of you may have never heard of it because it was canceled! -- However, I'm eating some delicious banana bread and thinking about what I would like make next. I smelt some amazing bagels this morning while walking my dog. So, that's one possibility. Experimenting with some gluten-free bagels perhaps. Or...I've also been craving some grilled cheese and tomato soup for like 3 weeks now! So, that's another possibility!
Here it is the recipe that goes with the amazing yuca pizza crust that was posted last week. Say "Hello" to Chicken BLT Pizza! This is like the pizza of ultimate pizzas! I seriously don't think I've ever put so much effort into making a pizza. However, the results where a-maz-ing. The whole idea behind this pizza was to make a copy cat of California Pizza's 'California Club' pizza. So, I went on their website and thank goodness for me they had all the ingredients listed of what was on the pizza so from there it was pretty easy. I do have to say though that their rendition turns out much more aesthetically pleasing. Waaaaaaah! :[ Now that that's out of my system let me state that it is the taste that matters!
Well Adam just walked in the door and I've been home for about an hour now logged into my computer and I still didn't even have a single word written for this post. Guess I'm just feeling quiet inside and I'm finding Facebook to be overly distracting today. Usually it doesn't get too much attention from me anymore but I liked what I saw today.
This is the last for the morel mushroom recipes that I've tried this year. I've heard from several people that this is their favorite way of adding morels to a meal. Partially because you can freeze the morels depending on if you have too much to be able to eat fresh and the other part is because it's just pure deliciousness. Especially if you dip it in some garlic butter sauce! ;) Which just happens to be a favorite to do with any pizza with my family.
For those of you that live in morel country I'm sure by now you know that it is morel season! I've heard of morels and have known that for years every spring people like my grandpa go in hunt of the rare short seasoned mushrooms. I've never eaten them myself due to not being a big fan of mushrooms but this year was going to be different!
This whole idea was Adam's!! Woohoo he can do more than Athletic Training! ;) We were at the grocery store one day and I wanted to get some Mahi Mahi and he wanted to get some tiny shrimp. Then one day we didn't have leftovers for lunch so he decided to make us a salad and made up some salad dressing to go along with it as well.
The way this recipe came to be is really an interesting story. I started this recipe with every intent of making fried cinnamon apples. I was unsure of how it would turn out from the beginning because the recipe I was kind of basing mine off of the picture didn't match what the recipe itself was describing.
Making your own mayo is wayyyy easy and the best part of course is being able to control all of the ingredients that go into it. You won't contain any nasty preservatives, gross oils or words that require a PhD in molecular biology to comprehend. The hardest part to this recipe is the tedious task of pouring the oil slowly.
