Chilled Mango Red Curry Soup with Shrimp

Chilled Mango Red Curry Soup with Shrimp | www.theeverykitchen.com
Leave it to me to make a chilled soup in the middle of winter.

I just got an idea and ran with it and, little did I know, when my idea came to fruition, it would taste better as a cool summery soup than as a warm wintery one. Sometimes these things happen. Whatcha gonna do? (Shrugs shoulders.)

I went to one of my favorite local restaurants last weekend and ate a bowl of mussels in a red coconut curry sauce. And ya know what? It ruined me+mussels for the rest of my life, unless said mussels happen to be hanging out in a swimming pool of delightfully creamy and smoky red coconut curry sauce. In which case, they are goners.

Veggie & Beef Meatballs Marinara

Beef meatballs full of VEGGIES. Recipe at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
It’s come to my attention that “professional” bloggers celebrate Thanksgiving in September and Christmas in October.

WELL. Obviously I missed the boat on Thanksgiving. But I believe that there are people out there — people like me — people who wait until the very last second to do anything — that have not picked out this year’s Christmas cookies yet.

↑ If this is you ↑, I got your back. Starting Sunday, I’m doing 7 Days of Christmas Cookies. You might want to start a sugar sabbatical now, so your sweet teeth are ready when next week hits.

(Are there any requests? Any cookie recipe you need me to experiment with for you? Let me know. I’ll try!)

Roasted Red Beet Hummus

Roasted Red Beet Hummus is DELISH and prettyyyyyy. Recipe at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
Check out my friend Keleigh’s blog, Where There’s a Meal, to get this recipe for Roasted Red Beet Hummus.

Keleigh is a wife and mother who writes that for most of her life, she hated almost all fruits and vegetables. (Whaaaat. –> veggie-lover talking here.) Her blog is about trying new foods (and lots of fruits & veggies) and it’s about making kid-friendly and picky-eater-friendly meals. If she is willing to eat beets, I feel like she has come a long way. It’s inspiring!

Mom’s Jalapeño Poppers

Mom's Jalapeno Poppers at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
My mom makes awesome jalapeño “poppers” in the summer with her homegrown jals. They aren’t breaded and deep-fried like the kind out of the box (although, who doesn’t like those?) — they’re oven-baked. Even so, they are far from being healthy. And I can never, EVER stop at just one. Or two. And rarely can I stop at three.

On the way to family dinner at my parent’s house last weekend, the BBF says, “I hope your mom makes those jalapeños!” And in that moment, I saw an opportunity to remind him just how great I am.
