Even MORE good Eats!
These last few weeks I have caught the cooking bug! Here are a couple of dishes Marty has been stuffing his face with lately....
Yummy Eggplant Parm... ( this time I actually remembered to peel the dang thing.)
Kabobs marinated with greek yogurt, lemon, and rosemary....
Banana Nut Bread.. this was ridiculously good..
Its been a good summer!
Marinated Lamb Kabobs- taken from food network by Ina Garten
I used steak instead of lamb.. still delish!
Ingredients
1 pound plain yogurt (regular or lowfat)
1/4 cup good olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
5 tablespoons fresh whole rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds top round lamb
1 red onion
Directions
Combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large, non-reactive bowl. Add the lamb, making sure it is covered with the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days.
Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. Spread the coals in one tight layer on the grill.
Cut the lamb in 1 1/2-inch cubes. You should have about 20 cubes.
Cut the red onion in 8 pieces and separate each piece into 3 or 4 sections. Loosely thread 3 or 4 pieces of lamb onto skewers alternately with sections of onion. Sprinkle both sides of the lamb cubes with salt and pepper. Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning 2 or 3 times, until the lamb is medium-rare.
Enjoy!

The best Chocolate Chip Cookie... ever.
The dough actually came out brown... good sign? For me? OH YES!
I have been looking for years for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. When I first started dating Marty, we were in a store one day and he took me in the baking section. He then whispered ever so gently in my ear, "my mother always baked for me." Then kissed me on the forehead and walked off.. ha ha! I then realized that I better zone in on my baking skills if this relationship was going to go anywhere. So finally after 2 and half years of trying to get it perfect.. I think I finally did ( Thanks to the kitchen aide mixer of course!).
So far so good...
Looking real good!
A happy Marty!
pretty refreshing with a nice glass of cold milk!
