What's for dinner

Hey guys..    For dinner tonight I was thinking seafood.. (mostly because I bought all this stuff for a Valentine's Day dinner with my hunny but I had to work super late and there was no way I was cooking after decorating cupcakes for 10 hours straight so we went out to Blue Fin instead) We started with a nice bottle of wine..   Stella Rosa..  It's a sweet red wine..  delicious.  We have lemon pepper shrimp on the grill that I just brushed melted butter and sprinkled with lemon pepper and salmon that I brushed with soysauce, brown sugar and garlic powder...    We have corn on the cob and lobster tails boiling on the stove..  I wanted mac and cheese too but it's late already and I have to work early so no time to make homemade..  I will post pictures next time  :)

What's for dinner?


Hey ya'll..  Tonight for dinner I made shrimp scampi with fettuccine..   While I was fixing the pasta I sauteed some minced garlic in a pan with 2TBSP butter and 2TBSP olive oil and then added the shrimp..   I let the shrimp cook then removed it from the pan, added 1/2 cup of white wine and the juice from a lemon..  I put them shrimp back in to the pan and added the pasta with some fresh chopped parsley...   Can you say YUM??   I also had some three cheese rolls I picked up from Fresh Market that we had with the scampi..   so even though my hands smell like lemon and garlic it was totally worth it.   Then for dessert I made vanilla pound cake and made a chocolate ganache using milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips and about half a cup of heavy whipping cream then I poured it on the pound cake (obviously) and it tasted just as good as it looked.     I"m still trying to decide what kinda of bread to make.   Any ideas are welcome :)

2/4/11

It's been a while, and I know I said I was going to be good and post often, but yeah..  ha.   SO...  Let's see what kind of goodies have I made recently...   Made Pepperoni pizza the other night.  Homemade crust with garlic and olive oil brushed on it.. at least seven kinds of cheese and then of course pepperoni..  it was REALLY good..   Finally got to use my pizza stone.    Went to fresh market and bought some vegetables and made stir fry had whole wheat wild grown rice... 
I want to make these  
don't they look fantastic?    I also want to make some kind of bread..   I don't like bananas though so banana nut is out of the question.   any suggestions?
