Win Some, Lose Some

It's been a bit of a crazy weekend over here.  Nice weather, a very short run (my first since October!!), a sweaty trainer ride, some time in the kitchen...  and to top it all off, learned that I would be coming into some peanut butter and eggs :)

Spicy PB Ice Cream w/Cinnamon Shortbread

A huge thank you to the Peanut Butter Boy, Bran Appetit, Healthy Living in the Real World and Baking and Boys for organizing the 10th PBE: Things are Heating Up!  And thanks to Kitchen Play and the AEB for hosting the Better Breakfast w/Eggs contest!

Potato Pancakes w/Spinach, Smoked Salmon & a Poached Egg

Too bad they can't all be winners ;)   I've had a bunch of photos sitting in a folder on my desktop, but can't quite get myself to post the recipes as they didn't really wow me.

There was the pumpkin black bean soup, where my adaptations just didn't turn out as delicious as the original...

There was the Butternut Parsnip Pasta Bake with a goat cheese sauce (a play on this recipe), only I was too late to realize that the goat cheese I had used was moldy...

And the Meyer Lemon Bars that I played around with (a merging of these two recipes), which were good but needed a bit more lemon punch for me...

Ah well, at least there are some pretty pictures!  You'll just have to come back for something else delicious...  and based on my dinner tonight, you won't have to wait long :)
