A 9pm to 11pm Seattle cooking blog

Mark has been asking me to make something for Passover friends nonstop for the past week. SO tonight was the night! If you couldn’t already tell, I have a mega-sweet tooth going so I decided to make a flourless cookie. While trying to find the best recipe in the world, I ran across Smitten Kitchen’s Chocolate Walnut..the pictures are what lured me in :0) It was 9:30pm and knowing we didn’t have eggs, I asked Mark to “check the fridge” to see if we had everything (hehe). I was hoping he would discover the 1 egg and immediately offer to go to Saveway to pick some up. BUT after his hemming and hawing I gave in and decided to accompany him on the wild…

Well, if you like sweet and rich desserts, you will love this one! Strawberry Lemon Cream Cheese Bars…super easy and a perfect bite-size desert when entertaining. What you will need: – 1 lemon cake mix – 2 eggs, used separately – 1/1 cup oil – 1 package cream cheese, softened – 1/4 cup sugar – 1/2 of a medium sized lemon, juice and zest – 10-12 strawberries, sliced into quarters Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry cake mix with 1 egg and the oil until crumbly…reserve just over 1/2 cup- this will be used to bake on top of the bars. Spread/press the rest of the mixture evenly on a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch pan and bake for 15…

I always loved Old Spaghetti Factory’s Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter Pasta when I was growing up and loved it even more when my mom would make it at home. Yum! I introduced Mark to Mizithra a few years back and of course, he fell in love! This dish is super easy to make…there are only three ingredients- butter, Mizithra cheese and spaghetti, and from start to finish it takes about 15 minutes to prepare. SO if you are super hungry, you don’t have to wait long at all :0) This past weekend when I was shopping at the lower Queen Anne Safeway, I picked up a 1/2 lb of Mizithra cheese…you can buy grated Mizithra now but it does not taste the same…

Happy Monday! As we plan dinners and desserts for the week I thought now would be a good time to let you know about our the category 5183 Miles. Posts in the 5183 miles category represent food recipes inspired by our honeymoon and travels. For example I mentioned in my Prime Rib post; Cody, Wyoming was one of our stops during our month long honeymoon which inspired that meal…now here’s a picture…

I nailed it (Prime Rib)! First let me say this post is more of a technique than an actual recipe…but you should get the general gist of how to be successful with cooking a prime rib. Last Sunday I prepared Filet Mignon which is my favorite cut of beef…but for whatever reason I screwed up its searing and the filets turned out to be HUGE waste of taste, money and time. When I was traveling around the country with Ash for our honeymoon, one of our stops was Cody, Wyoming. Two things you should know about Cody…1) the cowboy is still very much alive and 2) they love their Prime Rib. Though I never prepared prime rib ever, I just felt I knew I…

Ratatouille…the gift that keeps on giving! We still had a ton of veggies leftover from Sunday’s feast…mushrooms, zucchini, squash, shallots, etc…and a bit of ground beef and goat cheese from Mark’s filet mignon, SO when I was at the lower Queen Anne Safeway this evening, I was really trying to come up with a meal that could incorporate what I had at home. We both agreed that we wanted something on the lighter side (which instantly ruled out our “go to”… pasta) so as I walked produce land, I ran right into 10 for $10 Assorted Bell Peppers. BINGO- Stuffed Bell Peppers! I knew Mark was not going to be all that excited about the traditional Stuffed Bell Pepper so I needed to get…
I am not sure how I feel about the sliders we prepared last night…to be completely honest, I think I was chopped. I like my hamburgers medium well and all three could have used a couple more minutes on the heat. However, I do think my flavors were a bit more creative :0) – Bacon Blue Cheese, Swiss Shallot & Mushroom and Garlic Parsley…and I cleaned the kitchen (bonus points). To go with the sliders, I decided to make oven-baked sweet potato chips. I popped them in the oven a couple minutes prior to our 30 minute countdown and they were baked to perfection! Here is what you will need… 2 – 3 large sweet potatoes, sliced to about 1/8-inch thick 2 – 3…
Tonight Ashley and I decided to make sliders. To add a little bit of twist because we were hungry…we gave ourselves 30 minutes to prepare each other 3 sliders. We tried out a new video app called Social Cam. Here is the initial test video. The 30 minute version to come shortly.
