Beef Wellington...

...AKA the best thing you ever ate.






Hubby made this a few times-- it requires a bit more than usual prep work, but totally worth it. We are both very excited to make it again next month! :)

Enjoy!!

Cheesecake crescent rolls (Or Sopapilla Cheesecake)

We made these a while ago, a pan for Jesse to take to work, and a few for us at home to nom :)


16
oz cream cheese
2
cans Crescent Rolls (we used an organic refrigerated tube from Whole Foods Market)
1
c sugar
1
t vanilla
1/2
c butter, melted
1/2
c cinnamon sugar
  • Mix together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla-- really make sure the sugar gets mixed well otherwise it can get grainy. You can use a spoon or mixer for this (we used a handheld mixer)
    Unroll and lay out one can of the rolls flat in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Spread cream cheese mix over the rolls. Unroll the second tube flat over the cream cheese mixture.
Pour the melted butter over the top and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Our completed product, chilled.

Found this one online

They are sooooo yummy, creamy, cheesecakey... total comfort food. :)

Enjoy!!

BBQ kabobs!

So this blogging thing has been 100% baby 24/7 but now that we're doing a lot more pinterest-type activities, I figured I'd start posting them here....

First up, BBQ Kabobs!



We made these for dinner today-- super easy and SO delicious!!

4 medium sized ears of corn
1 ring of Kielbasa (you could also use sausage)
12-24 medium to large shrimp
12-24 new potatoes (we used fingerling-- they worked out great as well)
Skewers (12)
2t Old Bay Seasoning
Salt
1/2 stick of butter, melted
4t Tabasco

Start out by boiling the potatoes in salted water until soft.

Put things on the skewers. We cut the Kielbasa into 12 pieces and cut each ear of corn into 3 pieces. Then layer on 1-2 shrimp and potatoes as well. Leaving the potatoes on the end helps keep everything together.

**Warning-- maybe this was just us but the corn is really hard to skewer. Jesse ended up pushing the meat thermometer 3/4 of the way through to help haha.

Use cooking spray on the grill rack and grill until shrimp is cooked and corn is slightly charred. Every time you turn them, brush on a mixture of the butter, Old Bay Seasoning and Tabasco.



Makes 12 kabobs.

These were SO yummy, we will definitely be making them again!
Enjoy!!
