Here in Md. the local supermarkets sell grass fed beef from Australia and it seems to be on sale more often then grain fed beef.
Also my husband & I attended a class on Genetics at the local library. Since nothing is ever free I figured we'd be sold on getting genetics testing. Nope it was a biology lesson on GMO's and how the modified plants are not harmful and curb the use of pesticides. So we bought into that idea.

I baked blueberry pie squares for a party. (Averie cooks) I should have read whole recipe ahead of time as it said the squares are best made a day ahead to set up. I made them morning of. Anyway I did chill them over ice initially to protect my refrigerator and then in fridge. I cut them into squares and placed them in cupcake liners. Sweet but very good.

I’ve been going through some old recipes & found one for Congo bars. Found similar recipes online calling for double the amount of cchips and a little less flour. Even though everyone thought they were great I found them to be 2 rich and gooey.

One more thing . If you go to KA's site there is a thai peanut salad recipe with the peanut sauce recipe. One reviewer found the sauce to be thick. I used cheap coconut milk from the dollar store and it was thin and perfect for this sauce.

Correction to chicken satay recipe. It was found in the summer 2010 edition of The Baking sheet.

I think I found the perfect chicken satay with peanut sauce recipe. I was going through " stuff" trying to declutter (not very successfully) and came upon the Holiday 2011 edition of the Baking Sheet. I just happened upon the satay recipe and gave it a try. The peanut sauce and marinade were both excellent. Another keeper I'm afraid.

Mike, I don’t think it’s your type of recipe anyway.

I finally made the copycat version of of PF Chang’s chicken lettuce wraps. (Damn Delicious on Pinterest). The recipe called for grated ginger which I would reduce in future and I would use less salt if any. Very tasty and quick to make.

I made the CI maple roasted pork tenderloin. Loved the sauce but I thought it was a little time consuming. I think I would skip the cornstarch step and brown pork and bake in same pan with sauce.

You were not far from TJ’s in Florida. It was in St. Petersburg.

I made pizza with the TJ’s crusts . I boiled sausages in expired apple juice and used them on the pizza with pesto, Peppi’s Pizza sauce (yum) mozzarella,red pepper and pineapple.

On another note if we move we won’t be near a TJ’s. Boohoo!

I don’t need vanilla and I have their salsa & pico blend (which I really like) but as usual I am so tempted. We are supposed to be downsizing so I have to use restraint ?

The other night I decided to cook baby rack ribs in my fagor non-electric pressure cooker which I never use. I went on you tube and found some recipes and techniques. After a few minutes I couldn't tell if the button had popped or not. I kept the pan on high heat for awhile and then I panicked and put it under the faucet. Then I changed my mind and put it back on the stove for a few more minutes. Then I removed the ribs, sauced them, covered them in foil and baked them at 300* for 1hr. They were swell.

We had PF.Changs lettuce wraps for lunch. They were so yummy that I went looking for a copycat recipe. I found one on the "Damn Delicious" blog and it received rave reviews. I'll let you know in a future post if interested.
