creamy corn polenta, sauteed shrimp and asparagus

I used this recipe for the polenta, but probably added a bit more cream.

I sauteed the shrimp with onions, garlic, butter and added a lemon.

I steamed the asparagus chopped into little pieces then put butter over them. They still weren't as good as the ones from Cipriani.


Anyway everything was yummy so whatev.

brioche rolls

So after that roll I had from Cipriani I decided to make brioche rolls.

They look nothing like the one from Cipriani.

They have way more butter in them too.

I sent my bf with some to bring his parents and had the rest with jam or with soup later in the week.

Posting this made me realize I never took a picture of the awesome chicken noodle soup with coconut and ginger I made either. Damn.

swedish pancakes I L U

homemade Swedish pancakes with maple syrup and powdered sugar. also with maple breakfast sausage that spelled out I L U because I'm a dork... my bf's plate. Don't judge me.

honey ginger lemon chicken and salad

I used the juice of one lemon, a teaspoon of chicken base, some ginger sliced very thin, honey to taste and soy sauce to marinate the chicken. Then I baked it for 30-40 minutes till done basting occasionally.

I took the pan juices and poured them into a pot where I boiled them down (adding a bit more honey, some wine and a teaspoon of molasses) till they were reduced and thick.

The chicken had some adobo seasoning on it too, i think.



The salad had gorgonzola and pecans toasted in the oven with butter and salt. I made a dressing out of pear balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

curried cauliflower cheddar soup

One day I served it with little salami provolone toasts as well:
