Juicy, sweet pink shrimp from Maine. They were lovely, delicate and oh-so-fresh! I just quickly sauteed them with a garlic oil I made and then added some cayenne for heat.

One of our other favorite fresh summer tastes is pesto. I usually make a batch and we enjoy it on; homemade pasta, pizza, toast, vegetables, etc. My pesto recipe is very simple, I use walnuts or pecans instead of pine nuts because I always have some in the freezer.
FRESH SUMMER PESTO
1/4 cup of walnuts
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 1/2 cups of fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup good olive oil
3 T. butter
1/4 cup romano cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Add walnuts, garlic and basil to food processor and process until finely chopped. Drizzle with 1/3 cup of good olive oil and process until combined, add 3 Tablespoons of butter and pulse until blended. Empty contents into bowl and stir in cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Allow to rest for a few hours before serving.

I gave my son a breadmaker for his birthday, Dec. 22, so he made a loaf of bread on Sunday. It was very good!
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #17 - Christmas baking. I had intended to make gingerbread on Saturday, but unexpected company scuttled those plans, so this will have to do!
I made this yogurt without a yogurt maker, using just a central heating and it turned out very well...! :) Recipe on my blog .
This is my first bottle of homemade Mead. If you don't know, Mead is wine made from honey. It was the beverage of choice for the Vikings and is as sweet and tasty as it looks.
This bottle was full not long ago but I spent one afternoon experimenting with a process known as "Back Sweetening" and this required quite a bit of taste testing, I think I finally got it right.
Ingredients:
1 / 2 liter of fresh whole milk
1 tablespoon of whole yogurt
Turn the oven light on.
In a steel pot or in a kettle heat the milk on a mild flame until it gets to its boiling point. Once the surface begins to tremble turn off the heat, place the thermometer and wait until the temperature drops to 38 degrees.
Meanwhile, pour in an airtight jar a rather large tablespoon of yogurt. When the milk reaches the right temperature, and not before (otherwise you’ll burn to death the bacteria), pour over the yogurt three or four tablespoons of milk and mix well. Add the remaining milk, cover and place the jar in oven with the light on.
In winter I advise you to wrap jar in a blanket or slightly preheat the oven, with the summer heat, however, is not necessary.
At this point don’t open the oven for at least five or six hours (I left it to rest through the night) because you should not move the jar during fermentation.
After this time the milk will become a perfect yogurt and will last in refrigerator for about 15 days
Remember to always take back a generous tablespoon to start the next production
On the eve of the biggest snow storms in recent history I made homemade pizzas. It was whole wheat pizza dough with Canadian bacon.

For my first dish using the Rival Crockpot, I decided to make some chili.
The Versaware stoneware was quite convenient as I was able to first caramalize the onions and brown the meat in the stoneware, then after putting the rest of the ingredients inside, put the stoneware directly in the crock pot. No mess. No fuss. No washing extra dishes.
After several hours of slow cooking, the chili came out great... not to mention my whole apartment smelling like it as well!
Who says waking up to the sweet smell of homemade chili isn't the least bit comforting?!
Note, the picture above was taken before cooking in the crockpot.
minced beef + pork with red onion and my special spices, mushrooms, cheddar cheese and veggies. YUM!
The steak tartare.
I've made these before (just in case the fritters didn't turn out), and I love steak tartare and wanted to share the experience. I tinkered with the recipe until it was to my taste (more spicing and capers/more anchovies because I love anchovies) and I think it was a hit. SO loved it, and so did I. I served it on top of toasted slices of ficelle from Iggy's Bakery.
We made these for some kids in the family for Christmas. They turned out really cute. Homemade Memory Game
The first pizza I made from scratch. Mmmm!
Toppings: marinated artichoke hearts, red bell pepper, fire roasted red pepper, onion, basil, parsley, mushroom, spinach, and mozzarella!
I did this photo for fun.
My wife and I enjoy cooking (and baking) together so today we made this bread. It amazes me how mixing water and flour can create such a work of art.
