Easy Fresh Peanut Butter Frosting in your Food Processor

Friday, November 19, 2010

We finally moved back in to our apartment and the kitchen is almost done. I’d say 94% finished and we’re hoping to share pictures soon. It dawned on me yesterday that I haven’t cooked, really cooked, since March, when we moved out of our old apartment. First, we didn’t have a kitchen. Then, I had morning sickness. Since March! Can you believe that?

When we moved back in, I was so eager to cook but we quickly realized it was going to take about a week to unpack all of our kitchen equipment, dishes, and pantry. It wasn’t till Wednesday night that I broke out cutting boards and turned on the oven. I experimented with a sausage and eggplant lasagna looking forward to making dinner for Lon for the first time in so so long. Alas, it was a decent dinner but needed work before it could be published. My heart sank. What if I forgot to cook after all this time?

No time to fret. We had already invited guests over for Thursday night to celebrate our friend Janny’s Birthday. (Happy Birthday Janny!) I made Bacon and Kimchee Sliders, a Chicken Pasta Salad (Janny’s request), and Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce. For dessert, I served a Devil’s Food Cake with Fresh Peanut Butter Frosting! My fears were calmed and dinner seemed to please everyone. Lon, who I can always count on to tell me the truth, loved the peanut butter frosting to death!

Fresh Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Finally! We moved, but it’s not all smooth sailing yet. We’re living out of boxes and we don’t have a kitchen yet. While our perfect kitchen is being built (which we will be talking about soon), I’m going to have to get crafty. I do have many plug-in appliances (rice cooker, toaster oven, panini press, waffle maker, microwave, etc.) so we’re still going to have a ball here. I think we’re going to be pleasantly surprised with how much I (or you) can do without a kitchen. (Gulp) Determined to eat well every single day without exceptions, here goes…

Do you ever feel like the universe is trying to tell you something?

It all started in February when I had dinner with Mary (super fabulous designer) at Employees Only. She told me that she and my cousin Jerry were running the marathon in Seoul, Korea. (Congrats you two!) Then, I get an e-mail from my friend Hilary, asking me about bicycles. She’s starting triathlon training for her first one. Beginning of March, I see that a new twitter friend is trying to raise money for her third triathlon. (As a proud TNT alumna, I encourage you to donate here!)  Then, we were watching Dinner Impossible and Robert Irvine’s challenge was to cook for Ironman athletes. He had to make a water meal (all cooked in water), a bike meal (everything cooked twice), and a run meal (using legs). The final straw happened this past weekend, my friends Bianca and Jen did the NYC half-marathon. (Congrats girls!)

Cold Noodles with Peanut Sauce

Cold Noodles with Peanut Sauce in bowl 2

Cold Noodles in Peanut Sauce is an extended family favorite. And by “extended family”, I mean all our cousins, second cousins, all the kids in the neighborhood I grew up with, and basically anyone who’s met my mother. Everyone just loves this dish. My mom has been making it for every barbecue as far back as I can remember, and for all the birthday parties that ever graced our backyard. I remember times when she had to keep on making more as the party was going because it kept getting devoured. But, it’s so easy that you can just whip it up in no time, while a screaming load of kids run around.
