Final Day of Ina

For my final Ina meal for the week I made Scott's Ribs which I accompanied with Garlic Mashed potatoes and Rolls. They were not only delicious to eat but they made the house smell amazing for the whole day!


First I had a lot of meat (the boneless was for my mom)....

The final Product...

Ina Round 2.

As we are all very well aware of, plans change and you don't always have time to cook what you intended. So I took the leftover meatballs from day 2 and made an Italian inspired filling for some delicious calizones made with pie crust.

Day 3 of the Ina Experience.

 

Chicken Stew & Biscuits accompanied by String beans with shallots! This was a fun one and one I was glad that there were leftovers of. The chicken stew and biscuits were great reheated the next day for a quick lunch!

Another fun night with Ina. (Day 2)

Tonight’s menu included Ina's "Real Spaghetti & Meatballs", garlic bread, and my own recipe for country fired corn! For dessert was Ina's amazing coconut macaroons. It was a great cooking experience! I will say that Ina's meatballs and spaghetti are not a quick cook but they are well worth the effort:)

 

 

Day One of the Ina Experience.

Day one was a success! On the menu tonight was Curry Chicken Salad, Parmesan Asparagus, and to finish off the night a recipe I invented myself Drunken Apple Pie with Ina's Rum whipped Cream.

 

Enjoy...

 

Stay Classy!

Starting things off right.

I decided in order to start my blog off right I should start with a tribute to someone who inspires me as a cook. Ina Garten would be that person. If you have seen even one episode of her show you will see she is down to earth and one of the classiest women I know! This coming week (starting Monday) I will be cooking dinner out of Ina's book "Barefoot Contessa: Family Style." I've planned the menu and decided to share it with you:)
