week seventeen

I had a tough decision for this week... post pictures from the World Famous San Diego Zoo [to which we have passes and go each week..] and this week I got some killer photos.. or to post food.???

My stomach won this week. I made a quiche this week for our Hypnobirthing Class' last session brunch. I might say that this was the very first time I made a quiche and OH MY GOSH!!

LOVE IT! I mean, I love eating quiche but never had ventured to make one. So this week Paula Dean was my best friend. I used her Spinach and Bacon Quiche recipe and tweaked it to be my own [as usual] and it was a smash hit! I had to make sure I saved a little for my mom to have some - since she was nice enough to babysit for weeks while we took our birthing classes. This is one I will definitely make again. yum!

I'm slightly obsessed with "Hell's Kitchen" and have been DYING to make risotto and beef wellington. Well, the beef wellington was going to take way to long to prep and cook, so I opted for a great cut of meat and the risotto. I made it with gourmet mushroom blend and lots of parmigiano reggiano cheese. The picture didn't turn out as I wanted, but you get the idea. I also sauteed jumbo shrimp for more yummy goodness :)

It was my first attempt at risotto and I think it turned out pretty well. I will definitely be making this again.. and soon!!!
