Breakfast in a Cup


Who doesn't love breakfast?

Diced Pancetta, cheese, and egg in a toast cup! #breakfast.

Recipe can be found here. I did some modification to it by using diced pancetta instead of bacon…so much faster and easier.

Roasted Tomato Soup

For those who knows me, knows I LOVE food. But what they don’t know is that I have NEVER made soup from scratch. Ok, maybe once in Highschool’s cooking class doing a french onion soup, but that is it! I make soup out of the can.

So after months and months spent on Pinterest, and pinning various soup recipes I might add, I finally decided on Kitchen Runway's Roasted Tomato Soup. You can find the recipe I used here.


I did improvised a little when purchasing my ingredients… I had a little “trouble” finding some specific items…so I improvised a little, here are the changes I made… The recipe called for:

1 lb of heirloom tomatoes - store didn’t have “heirloom” so I opped for tomatoes on the vine, about 5 of them

2 lbs of plum tomatoes, quartered - plum tomatoes? I picked up 5 regular red tomatoes… not sure if it’s 2lbs or not
.
8 cloves of garlic, peeled - I have a jar of chopped garlic at home, so I just chucked 2 table spoons into the soup

½ C heavy cream - instead of using heavy cream, I used 2% milk….and 1 table spoon of cream cheese.

Oh and I also added 2 cans of crab meat into the soup!

On another note, I picked up a $9.99 CAD immersion blender from the Real Canadian Superstore just for this soup. And I LOVED my purchase. The blender (what’s the difference between a $10 one than a $50 one aside from the multiple speed?) worked wonders. I did however learned to not pull the blender out of the soup when my finger is still holding the on button down…


I made a giant pot of this Roasted Tomato Soup, and it lasted me about a week. The soup turned out great… my boyfriend was thrilled to hear I didn’t use heavy cream, but just 2% milk… I dilemma though, I use to love going to Burgoo for their Crab Bisque.. well let’s just say mine tastes about the same :)

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies


These are very well received. I’ve made these Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies from Picky Palate a few times now and friends are always amazed by it. I have to point out that IMO, Oreo stuffed are the ORIGINAL of all stuffed cookies.

Word of advice, have an empty stomach when you eat them. They come out of the oven about the size of ½ a baseball. OH and eat them FRESH out of the oven when the Oreo is still soft…it’s AMAZING.

After many complaints suggestions received to make these baseball sized cookies smaller, I gave mini Oreos a try. the cookies come out about the size of a golf ball… BUT, the results are not the same as working with the full-size oreo. Everything is thinner, smaller, and the “Oreo” gets lost in the chocolate chip cookie.

It’s great in the morning with milk ;)

Cioppino - Seafood Stew


Just made this tonight… SO GOOD… but word of advice, there’s no need to salt and pepper the broth when you’ve already salt and peppered the prawns, scallops, and fish.

I also had hard time finding clam juice, so I just doubled up on my chicken stock.

Head on over to Chewoutloud.com for the recipe.
