Seafood FEAST!!

Today I got a phone call — ‘A surprise dinner is on the way!! Chill your favorite bottle of white!!’

Okay — Twist my arm. [as long as it doesn't involve CAT FOOD]

MMMMMM. This is a nice semi sweet complex white that goes very well with seafood!!

I picked it up a while ago — but I’m pretty sure it is under $10 at TJs!!

BAKED CRAB LEGS

• roll them around in olive oil + S + P
• bake at 350* for 9 minutes

PERFECTION– Way better than boiled crab legs!!  

Look at this FEAST!!

• steamers
• baked crab legs
• brussel sprouts
• balsamic roasted potatoes

It was ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SURPRISE EVER!!  

I thawed some of the TJs HANDMADE GANACHE CAKE to nosh on post dinner.

This morning we sipped on some supposedly coveted coffee beans –

Much to our disappointment this coffee was just goodish. Nothing special at all!!

SATURDAY LUNCH TIME–

SPINACH + PEPPERONI CALZONES!!

• I rolled out TJs dough into 2 portions
• topped them with garlic + spinach that I had sauteed in marinara
• topped with a little freshly grated mozz

• doubled over the dough
• cut off the scraps
• rolled the edges

• put on the pizza pan to wait until it was lunch time
• covered + tossed in the fridge

I had leftover dough + leftover time!!

So I made herbed breadsticks to go with dinner tonight–

• rubbed the dough with butter
• topped with garlic salt + pepper + oregano flakes
• covered + tossed in fridge

And cinnamon sticks for dessert tonight –

• rubbed down with butter
• sprinkled cinnamon + sugar
• covered + tossed in the fridge

I also made a SIMPLE SUGAR ICING using the bullet blender.  

Finally it was lunch time–

So I sliced little air vents in the calzones + decided that I wanted to add pepperoni to them!!

After stuffing them with pepperoni I brushed them with marinara sauce + sprinkled them with parm cheese

Holy amazing. It was the PERFECT balance of flavors + textures + just the right size!!

More studying to do!! I love school!!

cheers!!
