Harry Potter, Fusion Cooking, and Mushrooms

Hey, everybody! I'm very excited to share some photos of my cooking experiences from this weekend. Plus, my friend Sarah joined the mushroom challenge awhile ago, and I'm going to share some of her experience with you.

On Saturday, I made pumpkin pasties with my dad and my little brother. If you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll know what a pumpkin pasty is. The recipe came from The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. Here are some pictures.

 Last night, I made a delicious Mexican wedding soup. I combined Italian wedding soup (a soup with vegetables and turkey meatballs) with Mexican ingredients such as cilantro, Monterey jack cheese, tomatillos, and Mexican spices. The fusion cooking that I did was inspired by one of Rachel Ray's recipes for an American-Asian stir fry. My soup was amazing! My mom loved it so much that she said she could eat it for the rest of her life. Here are some pictures.

The final product!
My friend Sarah is so great. She's very supportive of healthy cooking; she's on my mailing list, and she joined the mushroom challenge. Hats off to you, Sarah! Thank you so much! Sarah made a mushroom gravy that was used to top off her meatloaf. It looked delicious. Sadly, I can't upload the photo because it was sent to me as a gigantic photo.

  1. I can never find enough time to actually cook because of a busy schedule. Is there any really good meal that doesn't take too long to prepare?

  2. Ooh! Good question. I have a super easy and delicious recipe for Chicken Parmesan. The only lengthy part is grating cheese, but if needed you can grate some late at night and store it in the fridge until you need it. Will you please email me so I can send you my recipe?
