Appetizer Recipes
A while ago I came across a food blog‘s post on Mini corn dog muffins. I thought they were fun snacks so I bookmarked the link and figured I’d make it someday. My version of the recipe is sort of the cheater version of the original’s, and I was able to make a dozen of these in just 15 minutes including prep time.
Yup it’s another Jamie Oliver 30 minute meal night. This time we made his Jerk Chicken for Grammy night, which was something I wanted to do. He’s so enthusiastic in the video, and it’s hilarious. You have to watch how he talks about the yogurt in the second part of the video!
It’s another 30 minute meals night! This time we made Wonky Summer Pasta, with Herby Salad and Pear drop tartlets.
After our first attempt at making Jamie Oliver’s 30 minute meals with Stuffed cypriot chicken, we were really excited to try making another 30 minute meal again.
It was a battle between Michael Smith and Bobby Flay on Iron Chef to determine who would be my master chef. Bobby Flay won, and so I bought his book Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill Cookbook: Explosive Flavors from the Southwestern Kitchen
Actually the full name for this appetizer is Lime Ginger Mint Herbal Tea Poached Chicken Salad with Wild Berry Herbal Tea Infused Vinaigrette. These recipes were created by Nathan Fong just in time for Chinese New Year. I haven’t personally tried out these recipes, so let me know what you think.
This is the second recipe from my friend’s dinner party this past weekend. I want to thank my friend again for sharing her recipes. She made a Spinach and Ham Quiche and we had Butternut Squash Soup for appetizer. The soup was a really good appetizer. It was not a boring butternut squash soup, and to my surprise, it had a blend of different spices. Nice soup to start off the meal.
I made this salad without a recipe, but it was kinda influenced by my meal at the Edge. I really like this salad a lot, and I’ve actually made it for my parents this week and they liked it also. It may seem a little bit weird, but I think everyone who has tried has liked it.

I made this when we were making fajitas along with the MePlusFood Salsa. I never made guacamole from scratch, so I went on a searched for the recipe on the Food Network website. I decided on Tyler Florence’s Chunky Guacamole. After having such a success at making Tyler’s Chicken with Orange, I knew I can trust his recipe.

We made this salsa on the fly while we were cooking ourselves some Fajitas (recipe coming soon). I was pretty proud of this salsa because it was SO TASTY. I will never buy pre-made salsa ever again. Here’s how to make it:
Let the Viviani madness continue! I know I’ve been making a lot of food by this guy in the last little while, I should switch it up soon.. and I will, as soon as I buy another cookbook or go scour the internets for recipes.
