"Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." Proverbs 31:10-12

Recipes!!!!!!!

So I would love to have a blog that is like the movie, Julie and Julia. I would love to spend every day cooking, and then blogging about it. It would be so much fun. However I don't have enough time to spend doing that right now, so I will just blog about my life when I have the chance, and a few recipes that I enjoy making.

Homemade Meatballs
1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs                       2 TBsp parsley
2 Large Eggs                                             1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 Cup Water                                          1 tsp Salt
1/3 Cup Romano Cheese                           1/2 tsp Pepper
2 tsp Minced Garlic                                   1 lb Ground Beef
Add panko, eggs, water, cheese, garlic, parsley, seasoning, salt and pepper to large bowl; stir to combine. Add beef, mix until just combined. Form 3 Tbsp balls. Bake at 450 for 15-17 minutes.

So I haven't exactly made this recipe, but I have made one similar and the meatballs were extremely delicious. Plus I used a mixture of beef and sausage, which made the meatballs even more delicious. I love to cook, so making delicious things is relaxing to me. =)

So here is another recipe I tried, I didn't really like. Which was surprising to me because I love seafood generally, but this one was too rich for me.

Seafood and Cream Cheese Stuffed Shells
1 Pkg (12 oz) Jumbo Pasta Shells                      1/8 tsp  Pepper
2 Pkg (16 oz) Cream Cheese                             1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/3 Cup Mayonnaise                                          3 cans (18 oz) lump crabmeat
2 tsp Sugar                                                        1/2 lb frozen cooked salad shrimp
1 1/2 tsp Lemon juice                                       12 Green onions finely chopped
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayo, sugar, lemon juice, pepper and cayenne. Gently stir in the crab, shrimp and onions. Stuff shells about 2 tbsp in each. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (Better if much longer.)
The guys said it tasted much better today, so maybe if it's refrigerated a little longer, like overnight, LOL.

So I don't mind cooking, but I really love to bake, and at some point I will share some recipes for that. Unfortunately I don't have the time to bake like I would like. And all the recipes I have, boring. At least I think so.
