August 11, 2008 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 15 Comments

I made 8 batches of this fantastic Shoepeg Salsa for a dear friend's daughters wedding reception. It was really easy to make and very tasty so I thought I would share the recipe here. It is especially great served with fritos scoops! I made this again on sunday for an after church lunch for my family. Yummy!

Well--it is that time of year again when zucchinis are plentiful! The one zucchini plant in my garden died this year, but I figured between my sisters, Mom and nieghbors I am sure to get plenty. My neighbor's cute little daughter brought me over 2 yesterday! I was so excited to get the first ones of the season that I whipped up this fabulous zucchini bread recipe. I shared some with my neighbor

Caribbean Black Beans and Coconut Rice

June 5, 2008 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 8 Comments

We had an Island theme for Melanie and Connor's birthday party last weekend and I thought  a dish like caribbean black beans and coconut rice sounded really good to serve alongside the Kaula Pork. I looked for a recipe but couldn't find one that sounded perfect so I improvised...and this is what I came up with. It turned out delicious! The peppers came from Costco in that bag of red, orange and

Coconut Ice Cream

June 2, 2008 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 11 Comments

This Coconut Ice Cream is a coconut lover's dream! It is creamy with a rich coconut flavor.  I prefer the coconut toasted and sprinkled on top, but I really like it mixed into the ice cream, too.  A fun variation is to add 1/2 cup of chopped macadamia nuts for a little crunch and a tropical feel!  You will think you are in Hawaii with just one bite!  This ice cream is wonderful over brownies too!

Shrimp Enchiladas

May 27, 2008 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 7 Comments

These Shrimp Enchiladas are so yummy. I would have never expected shrimp and enchiladas to be such a good combination. In fact, I wouldn't have ever made these except that my sister-in-law, Melanie, posted this on her blog My Kitchen Cafe. And since I trust Melanie's taste so much, I gave it a shot. It was very good!! I've made these a few times since then. One tip - you might as well buy the

Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles

May 20, 2008 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 14 Comments

My sister Brittany made me these amazing Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles and I LOVED them. I have been making them ever since. It is an easy quick recipe that tastes fantastic and everyone enjoys! When this dish is fresh and warm, the sauce has a tendency to pool at the bottom, so serve it in a shallow dish and scoop deep when serving. Every ingredient is important--if you don't have fresh ginger,

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
