Tonight's Sunday Supper included Broccoli-Cauliflower Chowder, and a Price family classic - a fried egg sandwich. I guess it was a little twist on grilled cheese and soup.
The Broccoli Cauliflower Chowder was a recipe courtesy of Diane Sanflippo's New York Times Bestselling cookbook Practical Paleo. It included two cups of broccoli and two cups of cauliflower steamed, and blended with garlic and chicken broth. The chicken broth was homemade, and was unfortunately too strong, because it overpowered the broccoli and cauliflower. I think I may give this recipe another whirl with a different stock. Dare I say, boxed version. Or maybe my brother-in-law will spare some of his chicken broth. I am interested to taste the difference. I think this chowder would be great!
Egg sandwiches used to be a weekly staple in our household. But then I really tried to get my family off of packaged bread. One could argue there's not much nutritional value in it. Even if you do buy whole grain bread, and make sure the fiber content is higher than the sugar content, the nutrients in wheat oxidizes. This makes me question what nutrients, if any, are present when you pick it up off the shelf?
But I digress. We still do buy store-bought bread occasionally.
So here's a look at one of our favorite sandwiches.
While the egg is frying, slather two pieces of bread with just a little mayo and mustard. Next layer on some cheese and bacon. I usually handled the bread, while Mr. Price attended to the eggs and bacon. When your egg is ready, lay it on top of the bread with the sliced cheese. The hot egg gives the cheese melting a head start. Put the sandwich together and place back on the frying pan with a little bit of butter. Brown each side to melt the cheese. This is one good sandwich!
Our daughter had the same meal minus the bread.
What was your Sunday Supper?

I LOVE
Everyday Food videos with Sarah Carey.
Mr. Price and I have been receiving a gift subscription to Everyday Food. Most issues contain a grocery shopping list for five days of recipes. Normally I don't utitilize this feature, but in the current issue, all five recipes were easy and appealing. What a score! It allowed me to procrastinate just a bit more with my regular menu planning.
Sarah Carey is editor of Everday Food (EDF) and she features daily cooking videos on marthastewart.com. One day I decided to watch one of the videos. But once I watched one, I couldn't stop. Sarah's upbeat personality combined with great video editing makes these recipe tutorials very entertaining. They definitely make me itchin' to get in the kitchen. I wonder if I could make whipping up baby food look so fun and desirable!?
Check out the videos here. But be warned you may get hooked!

Super Easy Recipe
Today I have a super easy recipe for you. It only includes three ingredients: a sweet Vidalia onion, butter and a beef bouillon cube. Mr. Price introduced this recipe to me soon after we were married. I have to admit I was quite skeptical at first. I love onions, but only used them to garnish or enhance a dish. I'd never eaten them all alone. Now my mouth just starts watering when I think of a tender, sweet, butter and bouillon flavored onion.




Here's the recipe.
Peel your sweet onion.
Slice the bottom just enough so it will sit upright on a microwavable plate.
Cut a hole in the top that is wide and deep enough for some butter and a bouillon cube.
Now layer a small amount of butter, bouillon cube and another dab of butter in the hole.
Cook your onion in the microwave for 4 to 5 minutes until tender and easy to cut with fork.
Enjoy all the juicy goodness!!

e-mealz

Do you dread figuring out what you'll eat for dinner?
Do you feel like you are eating the same meals over and over?
Does menu planning bore you?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, boy do I have something to show you. There's hope for all of us who like to cook, but dread all the planning and shopping that accompany it. Let me introduce you to E-mealz.
E-mealz is an online service that does all your menu planning so you can spend more time with family and less time in the grocery store aisles.
For only $5 a month, the talented team at E-mealz creates weekly dinner menus based on your grocery store's weekly specials. Not only do they provide the menu, but a shopping list categorized by aisle.
I have no problem paying $5 for someone else to scour the weekly grocery specials and then create a dinner menu. It's still saving me time and money!
Oh, and no need to worry if you are on a special diet. They have several plans to choose from, such as Low-Fat, Gluten Free, Portion Control, Vegetarian and Low Carb.
If you don't have a Kroger, Publix, Aldi, Walmart or Ralph's in your area, you can still save time and money by using their Any-Store meal plan.
After hearing about E-mealz from Dave Ramsey, Mr. Price and I decided to give it a shot. E-mealz requires you to buy a three month subscription, but you can cancel anytime before the next quarter to discontinue.
I've been pretty pleased with the service. The recipes are easy and not time consuming. Now that I am working two part-time jobs, I don't want to come home and cook a complicated meal. I haven't been crazy about every single recipe, but all in all I think it's a wonderful service and has been a great help!
If you decide to try E-mealz, please comment and let us know how you like it.

Valentine's Day 2011
Hello dear friends! How was your Valentine's Day? We spent a relaxing day at home and then cooked a Mexican pizza for supper, recipe courtesy of e-mealz. Of course Valentine's Day wouldn't be the same without something sweet! We finally brought out our fondue set! The chocolate fondue was actually quite simple to make. I don't know why I've been so intimidated by it. We had fun dipping our strawberries, pound cake and apples!
I did try to make the apartment a little festive by creating a version of this banner.
Please tell me what fun things you did for Valentine's Day!?

Sunday Edition
This is what happens....

when you peek into the oven to check on your quiche, and you decide it needs just a few more minutes to cook. But instead of standing in the kitchen for three more minutes, or setting the timer, you go back and sit in front of the computer. That's when a few minutes turns into...let's say....45 more minutes. Although, I really have no idea how much time it was.

Super Easy Supper
I have a super easy recipe for a quick supper. My mom found this recipe in a 2004 issue of Southern Living. It has been one of my recipe staples since then.
Chicken Olé Foil Supper
Tear four sheets of aluminum foil and lightly grease. After placing a boneless skinless chicken breast on each piece of aluminum foil, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Then layer salsa, black beans and corn. Wrap each chicken in a packet, and bake in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes. Make sure you are careful when opening the packet after its baked. The last step is to sprinkle the chicken with cheese and other garnishes, such as cilantro, as desired.

Cinnamon Pancakes
One thing I love about weekends is having extra time to whip up something more tasty for breakfast. This Cinnamon Pancake recipe was featured on Pioneer Woman's Tasty Kitchen. And like most PW recipes, it has quickly become one of my favorites.
I had my doubts about making pancakes from scratch, but this recipe couldn't be any easier. The pancakes turn out light and absolutely delicious.
You probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen cabinets to make this recipe this weekend! Recipe below!



Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 whole eggs beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1/4 cups butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla
Directions:
Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon with a whisk. Whisk well!
In a separate large bowl beat together eggs, milk, corn syrup, butter and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium low heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into griddle, brown on both sides.
