what's cookin'...

vintage flatware

It's been ages since I posted anything about food - possibly because I haven't cooked many noteworthy dishes in months.  That is, until I pulled some recipes off my Pinterest board.  I forgot to take photos but you'll see some great ones if you click the links.

This corn pudding was good enough but much better with an avocado salsa.  I served the leftovers for breakfast with fried eggs and the salsa on top - good.

I LOVED this orange & olive oil cake.  I added chopped walnuts that I soaked in orange liquor, which I think took it to a better place.  Needs a little cream or lightly flavored topping dolloped on each piece for serving - may I suggest pistachio gelato?  Perfection.

My two favorites from the week were mouthwateringly delicious!

We liked these cornmeal herb waffles so much I made them twice in one week.  I tweeked it a bit, (do you see a pattern devloping?) by adding sauteed leeks to the waffle batter - swoon, just do it.  I topped with breakfast yams - (think crispy breakfast potatoes but done with yams, very nice), scrambled eggs, avocados and my secret sauce.  I can barely talk about how good this is, trust me, brunch will never be the same.

Tied for my favorite with the waffles are these stuffed peppers.  The only substitute I made was the feta, don't care for feta - any other cheese works for me.  I could eat the sauce with a spoon, yum yum!
