Choco-chip Pound Cake

Truffle Mac N Cheese Cupcakes

Truffle + Pancette + Mac N Cheese... Need I say more? Wanted to try a hand-held version of this comfort food fav. It turned out delish. Topped with cheese and bread crumbs for a crispy crust. Mmmmm.

Roast Pork Shoulder

Whiz up herb rub in cuisinart with fennel fronds, basil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, fennel seeds and pepper. Rub pork shoulder all over with olive oil and salt. Rub down the roast with the herb mix. Tie with cooking twine into a log, so it will slice up nicely. Let marinate with herbs overnight in the fridge. Roast covered, on 325 for 3 hours. Half way through, pour a cup of chicken broth into the pan. Let rest then slice. You won't believe how tender it is! Mmm.

Pizza Night.

I have a new dough recipe and it's awesome. 1 cup warm water, 3 cups flour, 1 packet yeast, 1 tbs sugar. Mix water, yeast, sugar and 1 cup flour and let stand for 20 mins until frothy. Then stir in 2 cups flour, reserving half a cup for when you kneed it, adding the remaining half only as you need if the dough is too tacky. Kneed for 10 mins and let rest in an oiled, covered bowl for two hours. So good.
