We were back home for Thanksgiving this year and we were treated to an amazing feast with our extended family. The big star of the event was a 20lb turbaconducken.

Yes, it tastes as good as it looks!
Piping hot out of the oven! And because I am a food freak, I also had to take a pic of the plated results… (more…)

Patty Can Make Dumplings Now! WOO HOO!!!
John and I couldn’t take it any longer. After 6 months of being completely dumpling-less, we needed Asian Dumplings – STAT!!!
So we just shut up about it and made them ourselves 
The hard work was all in the prep. The assembly work was actually lots of fun and we were really proud of our first time efforts.
We were really lucky to have found frozen dumpling skins from the one Chinese Market in Costa Rica and we followed a simple recipe. Easy as 1-2-3!
PS – They tasted like absolute heaven! Total dumpling YUM YUM

I don’t know what we were waiting for, but John and I finally made a huge pot of chicken stew today.
While I love, love, love my beef stew and I tell everyone I know that if I was ever stranded on a deserted island all I would need is beef stew, this chicken stew we made tonight might actually be on par with my beloved beef stew.
The edge with chicken stew is that it doesn’t take as long stewing beef for it to be ready for consumption and it’s easier to make

Chocolate Peppermint Christmas Cookies are Awesome!
These were so easy to make and they make for great emergency gifts to give away to any friends and family you may have forgotten on your Christmas Gift List. You’ll have to wrap them up as quick as you can though, our people loved these so much we had to make 4 batches (200 cookies) this year…

Patty’s Chicken Curry (The One Thing I Can Make From Scratch!)
Turned out pretty decent for the first time cooking this in Costa Rica. Especially tasty with chicken flavored rice too!

I don’t cook all that often as John doesn’t really allow me into his kitchen. And when he does let me venture in it’s usually as his sous chef and I’m not even really good at that, so he usually just shoos me out altogether to just go and watch TV. ( I know I have it good – you ain’t gotta tell me twice!) (more…)
