tomato soup and grilled cheese sammiches

beerorkid | January 12, 2009

We watched some food network and both knew what we were having for dinner. Some rocking grilled cheese and tomato soup. Theresa was on soup duty and I was sammich man.

Picked up some Super Saver Italian bread and sliced it with the slicer.

Theresa mixed some crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, table cream, tomato juice, salt, pepper, and some fresh basil to make a good tomato soup. It seemed to miss something till we realised it needed more salt to bring out the flavor and some shredded garlic.

I used 4 cheeses in two sammiches making each different by the 1/2 so we had 4 variations. All had some apple wood smoked bacon, 1 had thinly sliced tomatoes, and the cheeses were gouda, sharp chedar, aged white cheddar, and Monteray Jack.

We made up a garlic butter to toast them.

I tried to make a honey mustard spread with some killer mustard Mr. T got me a while back. I had no honey, and used sour cream as a base. It was not enough and the sammiches were rich enough. I will make a much better effort to use up the fancy mustard here soon.

frozen strawberry yogurt

beerorkid |

IMG_3531

I was looking to an alternative to fatty ice cream and looked around for some frozen yogurt recipes. Some say drain the yogurt overnight or just get the greek style. Found this recipe and went for it.

3 cups (720g) strained yogurt (see below) or Greek-style yogurt
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

I only used 1/2 cup of sugar and blended up some frozen strawberries to add to the mix.

The tangy taste overpowers and it seems so fat filled and rich. Oh man is it good. Got pretty solid after being in the freezer for a while, but still amazing.

apple fritters

Not sure how we got to talking about eating the apple fritters at Alice’s when we were little kids, but we knew we had to make them. Theresa found a recipe and I hit the store for some apple butter and apples. They were awesome. She added some cinnamon and we liked it, but would only use 1/2 a teaspoon next time.
