Gutsy Cook April Recipe line up is posted

And we start again - new cooks, new format and new recipes!  

April’s Gutsy Cook Recipe line up is posted and ready to be cooked.

Want to join us?

Once a week we cook a recipe from the Gutsy Cook choosen cookbook/magazine recipe.

Since this is my month, we are cooking from 2 favorite cookbooks of mine - MAD Hungry and MAD Hungry Cravings from Lucinda Scala Quinn.  You guys remember these luscious Braised Short Ribs

They have become our go to short rib recipe.

We are big fans of Mrs. Scala Quinn around the M+P house.  So I have high hopes for the choosen recipes, my kitchen will be hopping the next 4 weeks.

Salmon en Croute with Prosciutto and Pea Puree

in , , ,

I get so happy when I try something totally out of the ordinary, new to me and out of the box and it works.

Actually it not only just works – but, it exceeds all of my expectations.

Then there is totally a happy dance in my kitchen (and my tummy!)

Case in point – this week’s choice for our Gutsy Cooks club.

I could have gone totally safe with the Creamy Pot Roast Chicken – no brainer.   Or totally walk the yeast path again with the Brown Mushroom Tortano – I wasn’t feeling the mushroom elements. But, I have always wanted to try making Salmon wrapped in something, and puff pastry seemed to be the best wrapping vessel – so it was going to be the Salmon en Croute all along –another one off the bucket list!

Easy, peasy.
