Finals Celebratory Feast

Well, we did it. Finals are over and of course the first thing Lara and I want to do is...FEAST. We wanted to use up everything in our fridge and lucky for us, I had a steak. So steak with a blue cheese crumble and zucchini and potato hash it is. 

The recipe called for Yukon Gold but we decided to mix a russet and a sweet potato. The mixture was TO DIE FOR, another great thing is that this is also gluten-free here is the recipe we worked off of:

Cut up the potatoes, put them in a bowl and toss with garlic, salt and pepper. 

Cut up zucchini and onion.

Mmm, mmm, mmm potatoes and zucchini.

Now it's steak time.

Cookin it up, for medium cook until the internal temperature 130 degrees but don't forget to give it time to rest!


Crumble time...


Andddd the finished product


And now you can find us and our full belly's on the couch. 

Hurricane Sandy= feast!

When the threat of Hurricane Sandy hit Harrisonburg and all of our classes were cancelled, we did what was only logical...we had a feast!

I tried a new recipe (very time-consuming) but Amanda and I ended up frying up some awesome Sweet Potato-Leek Pancakes! Well...I prepared them, Amanda did the frying-- she's a pro.

Be prepared for a LOT of grating of potatoes and slicing of leeks when making these little guys...it's worth it, I promise!

The batter before hitting the pan

Frying 'em up! 

Aaaaand our yummy finished product!

These little puppies were gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and everyone liked them! Yum yum.

My recipe was from a cookbook, but here's a similar one to try!

Megan made chocolate chip muffins that morning too, and Tara made an awesome chipotle pasta (compete with a g-free version for Rylie and I!). SO GOOD. House bonding like no other.
