There is total food porn happening in my kitchen.

I just made the most obscene batch of mashed potatoes (in the kitchenaid mixer with the whip).  3 sticks of butter and a small carton of heavy cream... and Bacon Salt.  Mother of Pearl they are delicious.

Also in the works:

Pistacio Cream Cheese cookies

Pecan Crusted Mojito Bars

Chocolate Icebox Pie

 

What's happening in your kitchen? 

Re: There is total food porn happening in my kitchen.

  • Southern Comfort Apple pie and cranberry orange ginger sauce are done.  2nd batch of dinner rolls is rising.  Roasted garlic Mac and cheese is put together and will just need to be baked tomorrow. ,

    me too. We just have a 20lb tukey marinating in the fridge. tomorrow we will have turkey, cranberrys, sweet potato w/blue cheese& homemade glazed pecans, cucumbers&tomatoes, biscuits, greenbeans&mushrooms, gravy - miini apple pies with leftover pecan crumble on top.

    =) yum.

  • We have to drive across town tomorrow morning, and my husband knows me well so he encouraged me to cook everything tonight...lol.

     

    I hope several of my relatives are also making pumpkin pie, yummmm. 

  • What, pray tell, is bacon salt....and where can I get some???? And pecan crusted mojito bars?!?! Do tell!

    Not much food porn here, yet. DH has injected one turkey and prepped a rub for the other...both will get fried up tomorrow (he's very excited to try frying a turkey). Cake is baked, will be assembled tomorrow. Wine is flowin'. ;)

  • I bought it at HEB!  It's bacon flavored salt.  DD freaking loves bacon, and eats bacon salt on popcorn.  I think it's vegetarian friendly.
  • Those desserts sound amazing.

  • I just posted on Facebook about what a slacker I feel like, LOL!  My aunt and uncle host Thanksgiving and DH and I bring the desserts, so I did a strawberry rhubarb pie and will do a pecan pie tomorrow morning.  We also made chocolate cupcakes with my mom so that she and Charlotte can decorate them as turkeys tomorrow to give to all my cousins at T-giving dinner.

    That's it!  I may get crazy and bake something else just for fun, but I don't have any of the turkey/potatoes/stuffing/cranberry sauce/etc cooking in my kitchen :(

    Please, share your recipes, though!!!!!  I'm drooling over here!

  • I made a Dutch apple pie for tomorrow and a pecan pie for dinner at my parents' house on Friday.  Friday morning I'm making a vat of mashed potatoes, a SoCo apple pie, cranberry sauce and cornbread dressing (just for J since he won't touch the good stuff).

  • We're not doing dinner until Saturday, but I'm doing some prep work today. Made the pie dough, and cornbread and biscuits for the dressing. Tomorrow I'll assemble the sweet potato casserole, make the cranberries, and bake the pie. Also will make the dough for the rolls.  Saturday will make the dressing in the crock pot (it is surprisingly good!), bake the sweet pots, and make the rolls. Then go to our friends' apt. and eat, drink, and be merry. And hopefully find a replay of a football game.

  • I am getting ready to start cooking. We are going over a friends house for thanksgiving. I'm making rosemary garlic mashed potatoes and my great grandmas recipe for apfelkuchen!
  • my kitchen is sadly quiet.

    DH is heading to Tulsa for the Uof H game tomorrow with the team.  Thanksgiving in this house will be eaten on Sunday.

    So today is quiet and empty.  and I feel the start of a cold.  it's a bummer over here today.
