Chanly1983 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 Thanks @tekobo, I saw @MacKenzie cloufitis cook and it peaked my curiosity. I think I might need that recipe. @MacKenzie those biscuits brought great memories back of baking with my grandmother! A fresh kick in the butt as to why I love cooking sooooo much! 1
Chanly1983 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 @MacKenzie they worked out too well! I have a list longer then my arm for flavors to try! I know I was worried they weren’t going to be too small for the tines. They fit just perfect! 1

A fresh kick in the butt as to why I love cooking sooooo much! The biscuit recipe is from my Mother. She made fantastic biscuits, among lots of other things Here is the link for the clafoutis recipe that tekobo mentioned. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/basic-clafoutis-51208430 Edited August 12, 2018 by MacKenzie
MacKenzie Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 Today started with a very simple objective, make my first batch of basil pesto. I have a bumper crop of basil this year, first time ever. Thought I'd have an easy day, pesto, no big deal. This looks interesting, I have to taste it, but I don't have any spaghetti in the house. Guess I have to make some since I really do want to taste it on something. If it's good, then I'll make more and freeze it for the winter. Homemade spaghetti spinning in the pot. Add a little of the pasta water to thin the pesto a little. Plated with some previously KK grilled meatballs. Today I just warmed them up and put a rack on top of the SoloStove and got the outside of the meatballs a little crispy. It was delicious and now I'm up for making a lot more pesto. Say GOODBYE to that store bought pesto. 4
amusedtodeath Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Love adding extra olive oil to pesto then using as "Italian butter" for dipping warm bread in.
Steve M Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 We found some prime NY strips on sale for 9.99 lb. Cooked at around 240 until ~125 in the center and then cranked up the kk to put a nice sear. 7
tekobo Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Ooooh. That looks lovely Steve M. I think you have helped me decide on dinner for tonight. Steak, beans and chips. Yum. 1
tony b Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 @MacKenzie - I also have a bumper crop of basil going this year, so I'll be putting up some pesto as well. I like to swap out the pine nuts for pistachios in mine. Steve - excellent steak cook! 2
MacKenzie Posted August 13, 2018 Report Posted August 13, 2018 Steve, your dinner is looking delicious. 1
MacKenzie Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 A week or so ago I was watching the Spence Watts' cooking show and saw him do a Sweet Potato Rostis that I knew I wanted to try. It is half sweet potato and half regular potato, grated along with some onion, add a little flour, salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice out as much as possible. Pack into a hot frying pan, when one side is brown flip and brown the opposite side. Plated with those yellow beans from the garden. 5
