Fettuccine with Shrimp, Tomatoes and Basil

This was Mandi's birthday dinner of choice today.  I originally found the recipe on the back of a pasta package and wish I could take a picture that did it justice.  It's one of those dinners that looks gourmet, is fabulously delicious, but comes together in about 10-15 minutes.

Cheesy Italian Tortellini

This recipe comes from my sister-in-law, Gina.  It's a no-hassle crock pot dinner that everyone eats up.  Great for a busy day.

Farmstead Frittata

This frittata recipe comes from Pampered Chef, and it's one that I really enjoy.  I always double both the Parmesan and the fresh tomato/basil topping.  The good stuff!

Cream Puff Pastry

When I was 14-ish, my mom helped cater a wedding.  For which I made about a gazillion cream puffs.  I haven't made them often since, but my arms still feel the pain of whipping the eggs in one by one.  A gazillion will do that to you.  One batch, on the other hand, is a more than worthwhile endeavour.  Of course I love cream puffs with these fillings, but my favorite filler is still chicken salad.  Yum!

Mandi & Cyndee actually made the puffs today and I provided chocolate (pudding & whipped cream), strawberry (cream cheese, strawberry filling, whipped cream), and french custard with whipped cream (which obviously needed some freezer time...something our patience did not allow)

Caramel Popcorn

This recipe came from Kelly years ago, and it's definitely my favorite caramel popcorn.  Four simple ingredients and about 10 minutes give you a chewy, sweet snack.  And it's easily packaged (as above) to share with friends or neighbors.  Gotta love that!

Easy Ice Cream Cake

Jim is a peanut butter cup fanatic, so when I saw this on Elizabeth's blog I had to beg the recipe. And when I saw the simplicity of the recipe, I was even more thrilled that I had asked. We'll be making this one sometime for sure.

Grilled Mushrooms

submitted by Emily

I first had these at a gourmet grilling night hosted by our Ward Relief Society. They were so good! We made them again on Friday night and loved them so I thought I'd post the recipe. The recipe calls for Portabello Mushrooms but any large mushroom will work.

Garlic & Parmesan Zucchini Spears

submitted by Emily

We order these every time we go to Claim Jumper and love them, so I decided to try making them at home with some of the zucchini from our garden. They weren't identical, but definitely delicious and I'm sure we'll have these lots more before the summer is over!
