You and Me and the Baby Makes Three

Sunday, September 28, 2008

Last time we went over to Lori's, Carter came up to me and asked me if I had a baby in my tummy. I made my stomach as flat as possible and asked him if it looked like there was a baby in there. He said, "No, but are there some up there (pointing to my breasts)?" I said, "No, that's just my chest. Doesn't your mommy have that too?" He said, "No."

He pointed to my breasts and asked, "What's that?" I just looked up at Sister Gillis and she answered, "That's what mommy has when she's nursing." I thought I would die of embarrisment!!!

20 Nilla Wafers, finely crushed
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold real butter
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. flour
3 Tbsp. lemon or lime zest
1/3 cup fresh lemon/ lime juice
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 8-inch square baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Spray lightly with non-stick spray and set aside. In a bowl, combine Nilla Wafer crumbs, 1/2 cup flour and the brown sugar. Chop butter into small pieces and then cut into crumb mixture with a pastry blender. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 min. While crust is cooking, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 2 Tbsp. flour, and baking powder; mix well. Blend in 1 Tbsp. zest and juice, then pour mixture over crust. Bake 30-40 min. or until center is set. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and remaining 2 Tbsp. grated lemon or lime peel just before cutting into squares to serve. Recipe from Our Best Bites.

1 1/2 t cumin
1 1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t pepper

Cut tortillas, place in food processor and chop until fine. Add flour, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Blend to the consistency of cornmeal. In a large stock pot, place chicken, celery, 1/2 the onion, bouillion, carrots, and pepper corns. Cover with water (about 12 c), and boil until chicken is done. Remove chicken and shred. Strain out the veggies, and save the stock. Place oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, pablano pepper, jalapanos, and garlic. Saute until onion is clear and soft. Add butter and melt. Add torilla-flour mixture to the pan and mix to form a roux. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring with a wire whisk. Do not let mixture burn. While stirring, slowly add a few ladles full of stock to loosen the mixture. Return the mixture to the food processor,and blend until smooth. Add to the pot of stock and wisk until blended. Add half & half and chicken. Bring to a slow simmer and cook 7 to 10 minutes. Do not let soup come to a hard boil. Turn off heat and let cool. Top each serving with shredded cheese and tortilla strips. Makes 8 servings.

1 lb shrimp, devained and peeled
2 carrots
1 lime
1/4 c House of Tsang peanut sauce
2 T terriyaki sauce
ginger (about an inch, grated)
rice
chicken stock
toasted almonds

I love how fast and easy this one is! It's the perfect 20ish minute meal. Prepare the rice with chicken stock. In the mean time, comine the shrimp, ginger, peanut sauce, and terriyaki sauce in a hot skillet. Cook until the shrimp is pink and curls up. Julienne the carrots and add in at the last minute along with the juice of half a lime. Serve on top of the rice,top with almonds, and enjoy! I think next time I'll add some sugar snap peas, too!
