Eddie's Pizzeria & Eatery

I would like to feature a restaurant every so often on here. If you haven’t tried Eddie’s Pizzeria & Eatery in Claremont, California, I suggest you go. Really good food, but the thing that keeps bringing me back is these little garlic puffs.

 

Bacon & Asiago Stuffed Puffs (Description from their menu)

Stuffed with applewood bacon & asiago cheese and tossed with roasted garlic, olive oil and herbs.

Delicious!

Velveeta/Ro*tel Queso

With a major paper due over the weekend I didn’t have much time to play in the kitchen, so I needed something to snack on while typing, thinking and reading for my paper. This little recipe, I saw advertised on the Internet somewhere. It’s also, at the moment, on the box of Velveeta cheese.

1 pd. of Velveeta Cheese

1 (10oz) can of Ro*tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies

Cut the Velveeta into one inch blocks add the can of tomatoes and microwave. Stir and enjoy with chips or veggies.

I love queso! This was simple and one of the most delicious quesos I’ve had.

Cooking Humor

I found these funny and a little true. Hope you enjoy.

 

Fajitas

Well, we decided to start simple tonight and try fajitas with no recipe. (You might be wondering why I'm mentioning that there was no recipe, I usually don't go into the kitchen without one or some sort of direction. Tonight I threw caution to the wind.) I know fajitas should be simple, but I'm nervous in the kitchen.

So, we put some olive oil in the pan, threw in two cloves of garlic and two habaneras then put some chicken tenderloins in the pan and sprinkled some black pepper on top. While that was cooking, I chopped up a red and green pepper and threw those in. Finished cooking the chicken up. Then cut up the chicken and served on tortillas with cheese, lettuce, hot sauce and sour cream. Wasn't bad for the first time cooking fajitas. The habaneras gave it a nice burn, however the chicken could have used a little more zest or spice, not sure which.

I would give it a 5/10. My hubby gave it a 6/10.

What do you like putting in your fajitas?

Starting Somewhere

There is not a lot of cooking that goes on in my household. I have decided to dedicate Sundays to cooking. This may mean one meal. It may include preparing meals for the whole week. We shall see what comes of it. It may happen on other days, but at the moment I figure dedicating one day a week to learning a new skill and being adventurous is a good start. Please join me on this adventure and feel free to comment or make suggestions or share a recipe with me.
