Mmmmmmm, I enjoy food

This last week I cooked a side dish and some cookies and they turned out pretty well.  I made shoepeg corn casserole and what i'm gonna call Choco-Cherry Goodness.  The casserole is a recipe I got from my aunt Allison and the Choco-Cherry Goodness is a slightly tweaked version of the Oh So Good Choc Cherry Cookie recipe Christina gave me.   Below are some pics and the recipes if anyone wants to try them.

Shoepeg Corn Casserole
3 cans Shoepeg Corn (drained)
small block of cream cheese
small onion (diced)
2 Tb butter
1/2 c milk
1 bag shredded velveeta cheese

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Saute onions in butter, add cream cheese and milk when the onions are cooked then lower temp on stove.
pour drained corn into 9x12 in pan and add cream cheese sauce when it starts to bubble.

cover with cheese.
bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling up sides.


i couldn't find velveeta cheese so i used white cheddar and sharp cheddar.






The Choco-Cherry Goodness cookies

1 pouch Betty Crocker double chocolate chunk cookie mix
1/4 c veg oil
2 Tbs water
1 egg
1/4 c finely diced almonds
lots and lots of maraschino cherries
1 cup choc chips
1/4 c whipping cream

mix pouch of cookie mix, oil, egg, water, and almonds.  quarter a dozen or so cherries and add to the batter.  While they are intended as cookies but i hate washing pans so I put them in mini-muffin cups.  About a teaspoon or so of batter per cup and then cut in half a bunch of cherries.  press the cherry halves onto the top of the batter.

Bake 8-10 minutes.
While they are baking pour whipping cream into cup with choc chips.  microwave for 20 seconds, stir and microwave another 20 seconds.

When cookies are done pipe out some chocolate onto the top.  



















And in case yall are wondering what my kitchen looks like, here are some pics.

    Houston-

    It is in Trastevere, which is a neighborhood in Rome. It is probably about a 15 min walk away from the center, and I would definitely suggest going to it! I have never seen anything like this market in the US- the stuff they have at this place is soooooo cool! From the Teatro Argentina, you can either walk, or take the #8 tram (which I would suggest). Follow Viale Trastevere over the river (then you will be in Trastevere), and continue on that street until you run into the market, which is lots of white topped booths. It will be on your left coming from that direction. If you are on the tram, you will see it and just get off at any stop around that point. Hope that helps! Peace-

    ps- what are you doing these days? I see you were in Edinburgh. You traveling or what??
