Ham & Cheese Cups

by TT on May 22nd, 2012 | Best B&B Bites
Whenever I read the current Best B&B Bites recipe, I think about how it could fit into my menu.  Quite often with the breakfast dishes, I figure that they would work well on a weekend morning.  However, this recipe for Ham & Cheese Cups seems like a dish that could be made on a weekday.  Although it does need 30 minutes of baking time, it seems that if I made the cups and put them in the oven first thing, it would fit into our morning schedule. Requiring minimal prep work and cleaning, it seems like a nice midweek

Vegtable Cream Cheese

by TT Jr. on May 14th, 2012 | Recipes, Spreads & Sauces
I love bagels.  I just love them, specifically toasted.  And with cream cheese.  They are so delicious when they are still hot and the cream cheese starts to melt on them.  My favorite flavor is salt bagels, and they are delicious with plain cream cheese, but sometimes that gets a little boring.  So, I decided to make a vegetable cream cheese to see how it tasted with my mom's yummy salt bagels.  It tasted like heaven on a hot bagel.  The sweet crunchy carrots with the tangy, slightly spicy chives against the salty, hot, soft, crunchy bagel is incredible.

With spring fully in season, I think about utilizing fruits in more of my dishes.  There's something about the chill of winter that makes me shy away from many fruit-based dishes.  However, with longer days filled with sunshine and steadily increasing temperatures, the thought of a tropical salsa or a fruit salad becomes much more appealing.

Today's Best B&B Bites recipe would be an excellent choice.  Provided by Andon-Reid Inn Bed and Breakfast, located in Waynesville, North Carolina, this dessert provides a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.  Complement that with the combination of a crisp crust and creamy filling,

Peachy Cocktail Sauce

by TT on April 26th, 2012 | Recipes, Spreads & Sauces
In an attempt to broaden my 14 year old's seafood palate, I decided to cook tuna last week.  Unfortunately, the fish counter that I visited had none available, so I went with her current favorite fish, salmon, and jumbo shrimp.  Shrimp is a type of seafood that she doesn't like, but the rest of us do.  I figured if I got her to try it again, it may start to be a seafood item that she likes.  She adores coconut, so I thought some coconut shrimp might do the trick.

Apparently, the lure of a coconut coating isn't enough

Green Bean Fries

by TT on April 23rd, 2012 | Appetizers, Side Dishes
I will start with a disclaimer.  Do not make this recipe as a way of replacing french fries for people who love them.  Although they are salty and have a similar shape, no fan of the french fry will think of these as an equivalent substitute.  That being said, these green bean fries will be enjoyed when presented as a secondary salty snack or side dish.

Personally, I am not a fan of most french fries.  They tend to be heavy in grease or oil and are unappetizing to me.  So, for me, switching to green beans is an easy
