OMG!!! I have the exact same china! I love that replacements are readily available:)

Looks really good. Those are the poppers from your freezer? How did they turn out? Have to remember to do that next summer.

We had 2 types of wings. Buffalo Hot Wings and Mahogany Wings - both were really good. Cole slaw and homemade french fries.

What's Your Favorite Superbowl Recipe?

When the Tampa Bay Bucs were in the Superbowl, it was a great opportunity to make a spread of Cuban and Spanish food e.g. Cuban sandwiches, Scacciata, Spanish bean soup, crab rolls. This is what I'm going to try: Pepperoni Pizza Dip Recipe courtesy Guy Fieri 8 to 10 appetizer servings Pizza Sauce: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes (recommended: fire roasted Muir Glen) 1 tablespoon julienne fresh basil leaves, plus sprig for garnish 1 teaspoon dried marjoram 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Bottom Layer: 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 2/3 cup ricotta cheese 1/3 cup grated Parmesan 1 egg, slightly beaten 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes Pizza Toppings: 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 cup thinly sliced pepperoni 1/2 cup diced (1/4-inch) red bell pepper 1 tablespoon minced shallot 1/2 cup quartered and thinly sliced crimini mushrooms 1 cup small-dice buffalo mozzarella cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Serving suggestions: Toasted pizza dough strips, toasted pita strips, or crackers Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For the pizza sauce: Add the olive oil to a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and, when hot, add the onion. Saute until translucent. Add the garlic and red chile flakes, cook for 1 minute, and then add the canned tomatoes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the mixture has thickened, stir in the fresh and dried spices. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Remove from the heat. For the bottom layer: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, garlic and spices. Spread the mixture evenly into an oven-safe casserole (2-quart capacity or a 9-inch pie pan). Set aside. For the toppings: In a small saute pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the pepperoni. Saute until the pepperoni is just crisp, 4 to 5 minutes, and then drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the remaining olive oil and the red bell peppers and saute over medium-high heat until just starting to soften. Add the shallot, cook for 2 minutes, and then add the mushrooms. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes and remove from the heat. To assemble: Spread the pizza sauce over the top of the bottom layer of cheese, sprinkle with the pepper and mushroom mixture, and then the pepperoni. Evenly distribute the mozzarella over the top and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Garnish with the basil sprig and serve hot with pizza dough strips, toasted pita strips, or crackers.

Antipasto Platter?
Q
Comments (14)
I love doing an Antipasto platter. It can get a bit pricey but it is so easy because all you have to do is unwrap, slice or removed lids! It's important to present it well so think of different shapes, sizes and colours when preparing. Roll some of the meat. some leave in slices. Vary the shapes of your cheeses by cutting into sticks, cubes , slices and leaving some whole to be cut as needed. We like: Veggies roasted red peppers selection of three type of olives marinated mushrooms marinated artichokes marinated cherry tomatoes pickled Italian peppers (mild and hot) Meats Selection of cured meats (hot, medium and mild) such as Sopresata, capicola, salami's, proscuitto. I personally don't like Mortadella, those hunks of fat put me off. Also don't like pancetta again to fatty. Cheeses Fontina, Boccocini, Mozzarella, semi hard Asiago, Provolone. A Gorgonzola is a nice addition and not often done. I like semi hard or soft cheeses . I don't care for the hard ones like Parmesan, they just don't cut well. I also don't care for smoked cheeses. Carbs I prefer sliced Italian Bread, French Baguette or soft bread sticks instead of crackers and hard bread sticks. Serve along with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. Have fun!

Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup with Black-eyed Peas 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1 cup of chopped onion 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper 1/4 cup of chopped celery 1/2 pound of andouille or other smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 3 cups) 2 cups of beef stock or broth 1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes, undrained 1 can of black-eyed peas, undrained 1 cup of tomato juice or V-8 1/4 of a small head of cabbage, sliced (about 1-1/2 cups) 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt 5 turns of the pepper grinder Heat the oil in a soup pot or 4 to 6 quart Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery; saute for about 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook another 3 minutes, then add the sweet potatoes. Add the beef stock, Rotel, black-eyed peas, tomato juice, cabbage, salt and pepper; stir, bring up to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender. About 6 servings Note: This is a fairly spicy soup. I used Rotel diced tomatoes. If you prefer a milder version, simply substitute one can of regular diced tomatoes, undrained, in place of the Rotel and use a milder smoked sausage.

Should I lower my 10 ft Island to 34" height?
Q
Comments (18)
I'd totally notice! Drove us nuts that our counters were a little lower than standard height when we bought our house (knew it needed to be remodeled from the 1920s original though so it didn't matter). That being said I think it depends on how much it costs. I also really like having some standard height and some higher height in our kitchen so that there are work spaces for different people. DH doesn't mind the cooktop being lower - ergonomically it just doesn't matter as much as for prepping.

I ended up going with the boys to a friends. So I didn't take pictures..I left hubby a crock pot of beef smokies in grape jam and sweet chili sauce..HE KILLED THEM!!!
So tonight is my pizza contribution..FINALLY!

I made Sol's CC cookies and brought some frozen fruit..which went over really well with the teen boys..suprisingly.
We had grilled dogs and hamburgers, stuffed mushrooms, homemade salsa, veggies and dip..lots of chip varieties. Oh and hot wings...

Donna,
The tortillas are just filled with a cream cheese/green chili/picante (in my case Annie's salsa) spread. Sprinkle with chopped olives and cheddar cheese. Refrigerate for a couple of hours (or more) then sliced into 1/2" slices.

Creamy. Yummy. Just ate 4 for breakfast!! LOL

Everything looks wonderful! Those poppers are intriguing me, but I don't generally deep fry so they might be out of my league :) What a perfect party menu!

Thanks Deanna! I love those wraps, I've heard them also referred to as "pinwheel" sandwiches. A friend makes them with guacamole, salsa, shredded cheddar and chopped black olives. Quite delish. I've actually never made them, but yours look so good I think I'm going to give them a try. Should I use the largest flour tortillas I can find?

I used the big burrito sized tortillas and only filled 5 of them. After slicing, they still filled an entire dinner plate. I cut about an inch off of each end and only used the part that was really "full".

Kids & DH didn't have ANY problem nibbling on those ends...

Guacamole sounds good...........I have some left....maybe I'll dunk the wraps in it! I'm sure not unrolling each little wrap to add guac. hee hee

Chase, I'm right there with ya as being the queen of "not having enough." My Grandma and Mom were both that way and I tell my Mom all the time that I blame her for my monthly food bill!

Deanna, everything looks fabulous! We had a lot of good food here, but with 5 adults and 4 kids we had WAY TOO MUCH!

Smoked Baby Back Ribs, mop and sauce made primarily from Apple Cider
Grilled Shrimp Skewers
Grilled sweet Italian sausage
Hot Wings (baked, not fried)
Oven potato fries
Cocktail shrimp
Veggies with spinach dip
7 layer dip with fritos
Olive tapenade and tomato bruschetta with bagel chips
Tostitos with Queso and a Mango Salsa
Brownies
Chocolate chip cookies

We all got upset tummies from overeating :-)

Same here Nancy! My DH said he couldn't even look at it the next day for lunch!!

But, hey, I haven't cooked all week!

On top of the Superbowl food, I made a tuna casserole the night before and there was some left and I made a tuna/macaroni salad. The fridge is just not starting to have a little room in it.
