The adventures of two college kiddos cooking up some havoc in the kitchen.

We are as opposite as opposite can get on the ends of the food scale, a vegan San Fransican and a meat-eating Kansan, but our love of spending time in the kitchen has brought us together and given birth to this maddness. Join us as we attempt new recipes each week from all over the world.

It’s cooooooold here in Eugene.  To chase away some of the rainy blues I made some homemade Broccoli Cheesy Potato soup.
I used the following recipe as a template http://www.food.com/recipe/broccoli-cheese-and-potato-soup-139511. Except I made some of my own substitutions.
Veg broth for the chicken broth
2% milk instead of skim
nixed the paprika and celery

I finally did it!  Some nummie shrimp Pad Thai.  I was lacking of veggies to put in it because I waited to long to make this and some of them went bad but it was still good.  Below is a guideline for how to make it.
2 cups of raw shrimp
1 clove of garlic
1 head of broccoli
2 small green onions
Cilantro to taste
~ 1/3 cup thai peanut sauce
soy sauce to taste
1 teaspoon crush red pepper
Rice Stir fry noodles
Boil large pan of water. Remove from heat and soak stir fry noodles as directed on box.
Saute garlic with a bit of oil in stir fry pan.  Add shrimp/meat/tofu, peanut sauce, and a bit of soy sauce. Cook until shrimp is almost cooked through.  Add broccoli and green onion (and any other veggies). Simmer until broccoli is tender. Add noodles cilantro, red pepper, and remaining soy sauce.  FOLD noodles into veggies. BE CAREFUL to not break the noodles because you want them to stay long.  Simmer just a bit longer until noodles are done (leaving it on too long will make it mushy) Remove from heat and serve.
Enjoy!!!!
Any thoughts on what we should make next?
