I don't know about you, but I just had a long and exhausting weekend. Don't get me wrong, it was fantastic! But that whole springing forward thing really has me outta whack! As some of you may know, Adam, I, and our girl, Zephyr, have recently joined the Michigan Search and Rescue. This past weekend they held a camp from Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon.
To keep the ball rolling on the low carb track, up next is Mushroom Alfredo Spaghetti Squash. This is the epitome of creamy deliciousness -- which I love most! Now, I made it into a mushroom alfredo but don't be afraid to make it into a chicken alfredo or a sausage alfredo, even a spicy sausage alfredo would be pretty good in my mind!
I'm pretty sure that I need to buy a lottery ticket. We've had two snow days in the past week. One today and one last week Thursday and both those days were my days off from work.
Can I just say that I have missed you guys so much!? My computer has been out of commission for almost 2 weeks now. 2 whole weeks where I haven't been able to blog! Last night we had a 9:45 pm appointment at Apple. Yes, that's how late the appointment was for real. They decided since they don't know what the heck is going on that they are going to send my computer into Apple and once it comes back it is going to be guaranteed to work!
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!
Happy Happy Friday!! I've been sitting around nervous all morning not being able to focus because I've been waiting for a phone call about a possible job offering. And...it involves photography! So, of course I ask that you keep your fingers crossed for me please! I am guilty of making plans before I even get offered a job but if I do get offered the job there should be some exciting things on the horizon. Hehehe ;) Sometimes I can be such a girl and just want to be able to spend a little money here and there!
This idea was pretty much handed to me on a fork! ;) My best friend Holly texted me one day and said that they were having shish kebabs the next night. Of course I was like, Yum! She then took it upon herself to tell me that I should make them for my blog. For some reason before she said that it didn't even occur to me. Probably because it's winter and my shallow mind thinks (or thought now) that shish kebabs can only be made on the grill.
I need to start off by apologizing (which I'm pretty sure I've done before...sigh!) because a little while back I said that I was back to blogging and now you'll notice that I haven't been doing many posts. We are going though a rough-time but I PROMISE that once we get settled this will never happen again. Ever! Now thank goodness that's out of the way! There will be lots of new and exciting changes coming soon to A Dash of Delish because after all when you start something ideally you just want to keep getting better and better. So, while most will not be very noticeable eventually (I hope) that it'll all come together and be like BAM!
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend last week and if you're anything like me I bet this week just can't end soon enough. I don't know what it is about getting a little taste of a break from work and then all of a sudden the week after just seems to continue on forever! Of course it could also be the fact that I'm moving to Miami, FL in less than a month and I am all kinds of nervous but excited!
Well would ya listen to that? Shhhhhhhhhh It's quiet… only the tv and a lawn mower in the background, everything else is quiet. That's a rarity since I've been back home living with the familia! The girls have gone to the library and as for mom and dad...well who knows but they disappeared somewhere as well. It's just me and the dog for a few precious minutes! So, I better type fast! ;)
I have been wanting to do this post F-O-R-E-V-E-R!! Like, you guys have no idea. I have been longing to do something with sun dried tomatoes just because I think they are going to be my new fetish along with a cold rice or pasta salad. I have such a bad thing for sun dried tomatoes that I thought it'd be fun for me to make them myself! Only to find out that they have to be in the oven for like oodles of hours…and I just can't commit myself to that right now.
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.
Here's another Morel recipe for all those Morel lovers out there! It takes a little bit of effort and patience to get them this good but after taking the time to hunt for them this is nothing. I also found to really crank these puppies out it worked well to team up with another person.
This was a first… hunting for Morels! My grandpa dropped some off earlier in the week that I used for a recipe already but my aunt insisted that until you went through the hunting of morels you just couldn't appreciate them to the fullest. Which turns out to be true! Besides the fact that they almost completely blend in or hide under other vegetation there is the horrors of all the prickly plants!
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.
I love lasagna! I have even forgotten how much I love lasagna until I made it this past weekend. It has been a very, very, very long time since I had lasagna. So, like any other times I get cravings I go online and on Pinterest and start finding recipes.
It's been a busy week with the Final 4 for D3 college basketball and this past weekend the movie Divergent came out and my sisters' claim it's AmAzInG!! So now I'm dying to watch it! This recipe is one I've been wanting to share with you guys for quite a while. To me it seems to be the latest and greatest in not just the gluten free category but in the gluten free pasta category. So, I just had to try it out myself! The problem is the first couple of times it didn't turn out very well.
Hey everyone, this is another one of those recipes that I learned during our 30 day diet reset! Which it seems that's going to be the trend this week because Thursday's post will also be one of Chris Kresser's. This recipe is amazing! It legitimately taste like the real deal. Who would have guessed!? Not me! There are no beans in this recipe no beans at all…instead it is zucchini!
This was one of the million recipes I made over the second weekend of our diet "reset." It was also one of the nicest. You can make this recipe on the stove with it only needing 15 min of cooking time but I needed the stove for the other recipes I was working on so I just whipped this one together in the crock-pot instead.
