Strawberry Basil Gelato for Pass the Cook Book Club

Here's a little something from your childhood that grew up just in time to save your taste buds from another happy hour disappointment at the local Sonic. (Maybe that's just my local Sonic). And it's another month of the Pass the Cook Book Club. My little club is finding it's feet - and I'm finding I need to be a little more organized. But in the end, sharing recipes together is a blast! I'm always curious to see what others are making (and nosy so that I pick something yummy). All the other group members are great and I am really enjoying reading and seeing what everyone else makes. Some people have blogs and post about the recipes, some people don't and just share them on the group page. It's really all just about having fun and trying something new at this point. As for this gelato... All I can say is try it. Our tiny human brains can't process how epic the flavors will be until you actually take that first bite. And oh.my.god. it's just you, a big batch of gelato, and a spoon … [Read More...]

Grilled Venison Kabobs with Romaine

Any more a day can’t go by without one social media network changing things for the better. Every time I think I have one figured out, poof. Facebook makes it harder to see ‘pages’ feeds, google wen’t all time line on me, pinterest changed something (though, I can’t remember what, so it really must not [...]

No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake Bars

Last year while on a group ride that was a little too slow for even me, a rider looked over and told me some day I would have to get a ‘real bike’ if I wanted to be taken seriously. Wow… really? First, I think anything you have to pedal yourself is a real bike. [...]

Corn-Chip Chicken Salad

Some days I want to quit. I want to pick my bike up and throw it into the woods and never look back. Some time between the seventh or tenth attempt to not get over a log, around the fourth crash things just start to get not fun. I am not pro rider. Heck, I’m [...]

Chocolate Marble Loaf Cake

We’re baby sitting Goulda, my 140 pound rotty, again. She has progressed amazingly from the scared abused animal she was the first time she came over, who couldn’t walk up the stairs and into our house. She hid behind me and away from any males, dropped to the ground submissively with any noise, and was in general [...]

Paisley Apron

I got this paisley fabric for next to nothing at Joannes when it was on sale. I think its super pretty and should have gotten more. I’m making a full apron out of if as well that should be done tomorrow. It would be really cute for a mom and daughter cooking team or sisters.

Grilled Thai Turkey Salad

Hope everyone had a great Father’s Day weekend! We took a little trip down to a town called  St. Michaels for an antique boat show with Handsome’s parents on Sunday.  There were tons of old wooden boats docked for people to look at. The town was beautiful too, with little shops and tons of ice cream [...]

Celebrating Oktoberfest with Sauerbraten & Spetzle

Oktoberfest is this weekend and along with German’s, brats, and beer I wanted to have a little something something over here at Pass the Sushi. So, I grabbed my heavy beer stein took my blend of NyQuil and Sudafed and with no knowledge of anything remotely German food-wise, made a giant mess in the kitchen. [...]

Getting Out to Grill: Simple Mesquite Smoked Chicken

What better to follow a post about eggs, but a chicken? A few weeks back Mother Nature teased us with a run of amazing weather. Beautifully sunny days topping in the mid 70′s, which for my neck of the woods is a gift that I don’t take without thanks. However, it has a down side [...]

Quick Dinner Fixins: Bubble Up Pizza

New to Pass the Sushi? Don’t miss a moment of randomness! Follow on Facebook and Twitter. When you love to cook, it’s hard to remember that not every dish needs to be elegant, time consuming and complicated. Sometimes it’s about coming back to the basics – which is something I am guilty of. I like [...]
