Need More Recipes

Ha! J just brought me Raspberry Chipotle hot sauce to try and I am trying to figure out what to put it on. I was thinking that the salmon we just got would be good. The lady that he bought it from suggested meatballs, but that just seems so blah. The bottle suggests marinating ribs in it, but I like a more citrus taste with my ribs. But I'm not thrilled with beef ribs, I usually slow cook those. Pork ribs, I like orange flavor on. And of course, the rest of the family won't like the chipotle. Well, maybe Kev would. But, we had fish last night and are planning cola chicken and cherry cobbler for dinner tonight. So maybe we'll save the salmon for next week. I've got two pounds of it, so I can divide it up, and maybe do a teriyaki sweet sauce on one and the raspberyy chipotle on the other. And for now, we'll experiment on the shrimp I have in the freezer. Mmm, maybe a little salad. I'll muse on it, give a few things a try and see what success I have with it.

Happy Dance

Haha! I found my recipe for the filling that I use for my Danishes. So next grocery day, I'll be stocking up. Especially as I promised the eldest's boyfriend that I would make a batch for him. And with some upcoming birthdays, I need to start planning out cakes. I already know that hubby is happy with anything that I make him. Perhaps I'll do a German chocolate cake with traditional pecan and coconut frosting for him. And the baby wants a Tinkerbell cake. Second eldest wants a chocolate kit kat M&M cake. She showed me a picture and challenged me to it. But man, it's so easy, i had it figured out before she had even asked. The best part, is that the eldest is planning on dressing up in her pink prom dress, adding a tiara and lollipop wand and playing the roll of Princess Lolly from the Candyland game, to bring the cake out. Should be hilarious. And some good pictures!
