Recipes from the Archives on June 6, 2013

It’s hard to find original recipes.  Let’s face it… there’s only so many ingredients in the world and since I get 8 cooking magazines a month and about 30 cooking-related e-mails a day, I’ve seen a lot.  So when I see something different and interesting, I get a little excited.  Allrecipes had a Brandied Shrimp with Pasta.  White wine and brandy?  Hmmm… I’m curious.  Then there was Pillsbury’s Beer-Cheese Mac and Sausage that blends macaroni and cheese with cocktail sausages and popcorn.  Tell me that doesn’t sound delicious.

However, the recipe I kept going back to was from Kraft.  A basic Jalapeno Poppers recipe, but as I looked at the ingredients, it had bacon.  BACON!!!  Oh Kraft, you just get me.

Around this time of year, I start craving sandwiches.  Specifically, BLTs.  I have no idea why.  So color me excited when I saw Food Network’s recipe for BLTs with Blue Cheese-Buffalo Aioli.  It blends two of my favorite things – BLTs and Buffalo Wings.

As a side note, they also had a recipe for BLT Hot Dogs which upon inspection looked really GROSS.

I was very intrigued by Swedish Doughnuts recipe from Taste of Home.  These cinnamon and sugar sprinkled donuts have Mashed Potatoes in them.  Mashed Potatoes?  I don’t know how I feel about it, but if anyone either makes them or has tried them, let me know.

I always look for recipes that are easy to make and can feed a lot of different tastes.  That way, if someone stops by or I have a last minute guest, I have something to feed them.  That’s why my favorite recipe from this bunch is the Build-Your-Own Shish Kabobs from Food Network.  Give them the protein and veggies and let them create their own combinations.

I also love Potato Chip Cookies.  Real Simple almost got me with their recipe.

My poor grill has been stashed away far too long.  It is time to pull that baby out and try some of the delicious recipes I found hiding in my e-mail.  I can’t wait to try the Hamburquesas Mexicanas – pepper-jack stuffed burgers topped with guacamole and salsa – but I’m really excited about the Garlic Lover’s Grilled Corn and Garlic Steak with Garlic.  You may not be able to be around me for a couple of weeks afterward, but I’m not really a people person anyway. 

Just kidding!
