Inspired by the idea of goal setting and if we accomplish it or not.
I have set a goal to use more items I have in my pantry and limit my shopping trips. Looking through my fridge and pantry I was able to create a tasty dish.
Smoked quinoa with roasted mushrooms with a stuffed cream cheese and jalapenos pepper chicken breast on top. I found the quinoa to be a strong flavor, mostly the tomato paste stuck out. I would like to try to dish using fresh tomatoes or less tomato paste next time. The chicken was very delicious and I'll make it again.

December 2015 - Fairy Tales
Inspired by Fairy Tales. Little Mermaid = fish. Beauty and the Beast = rose flavored..? Frozen:...ice cream anyone? Well, you get the idea.
My inspiration was Chicken Little. I made a tortilla soup that tasted as if I got it straight from Mexico. It helped that I found the recipe from a Mexican cheese company's recipe website. I wanted to use that soup, but couldn't think of any traditional Mexican fairy tales, so by using Chicken Little I was able to make the soup and then add shredded chicken on top. I didn't just shred chicken. I shredded it, drizzled hot sauce on top and then broiled the flavor into the chicken, and making it a crispy texture against the smoothness of the soup. I don't believe a single drop was left in anyone's bowl. :D

October 2015 - Crisp
CRISP: When Autumn has arrived, the cool air snaps in your face as the summer warmth fades away. Let this be your inspiration for the dishes today.
CRISP (Think of the crisp fall air, the crunch as you bite into a freshly picked apples, and the crinkling of the leaves beneath your feet. You can implement the theme by way of a crisp ingredient, a garnish, a cooking technique (fried food, anyone?).

I made a lemon broth based soup as I find the tang of lemons give quite a bite to any dish.
Avgolemond soup
I enjoyed making the soup and it was just right for such a chilly night that evening.
My favorite dish, I can say that, because two months later I'm still thinking of it was Sarah Hogans candied crab apples. The perfect crackling of the sugar candy shell around the crab apples was amazing!
The cauliflower gratin made by Morgen was worthy to make anytime for a fancy, yummy side dish.
The butter blend that Brittney made was a fun flavor. Her chocolate brownie dessert with any and all kinds of Halloween candy would be a good use of putting all your kids treats from trick or treating to good use.
