dragon roll sushi recipe Recipe: dragon roll sushi The Daring Cooks are making sushi this month! We have done quite a bit of sushi making (and more eating) here at urb so I was quite excited for the selection. Even with the familiarity, I was hard pressed for time to get this done. Because of that, it is with great sadness and yet relief that I am withdrawing from the Daring Cooks. daring cooks – one last cha cha cha! I really have to thank the ladies of the DARING KITCHEN: beloved Lis of La Mia Cucina and sweet Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice. Here’s the official line: The November 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was brought to you by Audax of Audax Artifex and Rose of The Bite Me Kitchen. And once again, I colored outside of the lines which is probably why I should be leaving the DCs… I didn’t use their sushi recipe, I used the one I always use because we had a very small window of time to get this done. i thought the egg and ice water looked neat before mixing whisking the wet and dry ingredients together tempura!

Apps ~ And I'm Not Talkin' iPhone I love creating and making appetizers. I have always been fascinated by how just two or three or four ingredients could be combined for a flavorful amuse-bouche (a single, bite-sized hors d’œuvre) or layered on a piece of toasted baguette for a tasty crostini. Yummy. Appetizers can be as simple or as complicated as you like and, when I have guests, I like to offer a little bit of both. Here are five of the appetizers I've made recently. Let's start with the most simple. 1. When I was in the store the other day, I saw a package of fresh mozzarella "pearls" and thought those would be perfect for making the skewers. These are addicting. 2. They are flavorful, but light and low in calories. 3. I loved all of the ingredients, so I honestly expected to love the pie. Roasted Tomato, Basil & Cheese Crostiniby Terri Powers for Terri's Table based very loosely on Paula Deen's Tomato Pie To roast the tomatoes: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 4. So, Tom and I improvised and it came out like this... 5.

The Baking Bookworm: Jalapeno Popper Dip This appetizer has quickly become one of Brad and my favourite dips. Brad and I are jalapeno popper lovers from way back and are kind of finicky about what makes a great popper. We don't like the cheddar cheese poppers, ours must have cream cheese. The cream cheese balances out the heat from the jalapenos and the Panko/Parm topping is divine and gives it that popper coating that we all love so much. We love this dip so much that I've made it twice over the holidays then again last night. Why three times? So last night, on the pretence of making it solely for a good food pic, I made this dip again. Brad and I are not the only ones who wanted to sample my dip last night. If you follow the recipe I'm sure that you'll enjoy this very easy to make, yet impressive dip. :) Jalapeno Popper DipInspired by: Allrecipes.com 16oz cream cheese, softened1 cup mayonnaise1 can (4oz) green chilis2 oz Jalapeno peppers, finely chopped3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
