On the grill...

Ready to eat!

YAY! First post with my DSLR photos. Now you can see all our delicious creations in HD. 

First of all, so sorry for the lack of posts. Winter break happened and therefore laziness happened, but now we're back and hopefully will have a plethora of posts for you to enjoy! :)

Shelley and I made this amazing meal a while back, but looking back at these photos has me drooling! Pork chops stuffed with bacon and smoked gouda. As I've said before, bacon makes everything better! We followed this recipe step by step and it turned out great! This was pretty heavy and extremely filling. Adding a side of spinach salad with a light vinaigrette rounded out our meal.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year! Look forward to more scrumptious treats from us in 2012!

Make Yourself a Sandwich Yo! (with YUMMY Basil Mayo)

turkey, bacon, spinach with basil mayo

So sorry for the lack of updates recently! Me and Shells have both been busy with midterms. Ugh, college life, but now we're back!!

This was actually made quite a while ago. Simple, delicious, and incredibly easy. A touch of basil mayonnaise will add a kick to any sandwich!

Basil Mayo Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup of mayonnaise

1 cup of roughly chopped fresh basil

2 cloves of minced garlic (I did more because I like garlic, but it's up to you)

1/4 teaspoon of cayenne red pepper

salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Put the basil, garlic, and cayenne red pepper into a food processor and pulse. (I just wing it with this because no matter how much I pulse it, it's never smooth so I settle for slightly less chunky)

2. Add mayo to the food processor and blend together until well incorporated. (Don't forget to scrape down the sides once in a while!)

And that's all folks! Easy right?! Hope you enjoy!
