Greek burgers...sort of

Ok, I reheated burgers I had cooked on the grill this last weekend. But I did make my own tzaki sauce and stuffed it all in a warm pita with a side side of mixed greens, lemon olive oil and grey sea salt.

Blueberry Pancakes

Speaking of blueberries. This recipe was out of the Maine blueberry book as well. Delicious, huge fluffy pancakes. The secret I believe is folding in whipped eggwhites berry it goes to the griddle. Best blueberry pancakes this house has seen.

Ginger Blueberry Cake

Scott bought me a Maine wild blueberry cook book a few years back. A few weeks back our neighbors, Jen and Brandon, did some blueberry picking up in Michigan and gave us some. It was enough to make some this cake from the book. I served it to small group, who liked it. It's like a sweet spice cake, but more still savory. People who don't normally like ginger liked this cake.

Enchiladas

What does Emeril Lagasse know about enchildas? Enough.

Jambalya and morning sickness

I needed to make something the night before that I could heat up the next day to feed Alisha and myself. Jambalya hit the spot. I made it all between 9:30 and 11 at night and it come out perfect. It was the Epicurious recipe I keep on hand. But what really made it, besides the perfect mixture of spices and meat, was the basmati rice. It came out tender and moist, not sticky.

Avacados

Authentic guacamole recipe from Saveur #104, Sept 2007.
What makes it authentic? It's first layer is ground down in a volcanic rock mortar and there is neither sour cream nor lime juice. Not that I mind those ingredients. This is very fresh and very good.
