Best midnight coming home from the pool hall snack of all time:

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces seashell pasta
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Directions

  1. Pour water and salt into a medium pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the water has cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar, Parmesan, pepper, and mustard; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick and creamy. The starch from the pasta thickens the sauce as the pasta cooks.

I promise not to do too many recipe posts, but I’ve been looking for a good fritatta recipe to try and I think this may be the one. I’m planning on trying it for dinner and I’ll let the world know how it turns out.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 small red potatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup torn fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place potatoes in the skillet, cover, and cook about 10 minutes, until tender but firm. Mix in spinach, green onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, until spinach is wilted.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Pour into the skillet over the vegetables. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until eggs are firm.

I just customized an allrecipe.com recipe for dinner and thought it would be cool to record it somewhere. Apparently I can record it on allrecipes.com for $22/year, but that seems silly to pay for, so I think I might make a recipes category on this site.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large bell peppers
  • 3/4 white rice
  • 1 small tomato – diced
  • 1/2 cooking onion – diced
  • 1/2 can of cream of mushroom condensed soup
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt, pepper, cayenne pepper to taste
  1. Slice the peppers in half and gut out the insides
  2. Cook the rice. I like to use a rice cooker but a good old pot of water will do just fine.
  3. In a pot, put the peppers in boiling water for about 5 minutes. If you’re worried the peppers will become mushy – you can skip this step and I think the end result will be very similar. It’s important that you don’t boil them for too long or they DEFINITELY will be mushy!
  4. In a sauce pan, mix the cooked rice, mushroom soup, tomato and onion. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or so. Make sure to keep stirring the mixture or else it will stick to the pot.
  5. Put the peppers on a baking sheet and spoon the mixture in evenly. It will be a little messy as the mix will most likely be overflowing. Mmmm.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes. Then, switch the oven to Broil on high – add the cheese to the top of the peppers and broil for 3-4 minutes or until its nice and bubbly!

Enjoy :)
