Mike's Recipe, April 2012 - Aaron Sanchez
For some reason Heather and I have been leaning toward Mexican-style food in a lot of our meal brainstorming as of late. We aren't really sure why but I knew it was a focus I wanted to have for my April new recipe. Aaron Sanchez is probably my favorite Chopped judge so I focused my search around his recipes.

The first one I found that look enticing was Argentinean Steak with Parsley Sauce. It's almost grilling season and I've been wanting to try my hand at cooking a steak. The parsley/chimichurri sauce sounded really interesting to me as well. The inclusion of raw jalepenos was equal parts intriguing and scary. The steak alone didn't feel like quite enough food so I went looking for a side dish as well. I ending up deciding to make his Chorizo and Cornbread Stuffing. There wasn't anything to not like about that recipe. It sounded straightforward and who doesn't like chorizo?

New Recipes, Nov. 2011 - Thanksgiving
We've been in our home for a little over two years now and have had many wonderful family parties but not a Thanksgiving, until now! We've officially crossed the threshold into adulthood by hosting our first Thanksgiving complete with all the fixings and our own unique twists.


Mike made the Stuffing

I'm not sure why I got the urge to make one of my contributions the stuffing. When I first started thinking about what I wanted to make, my mind wanted something truly unique. After some thought, nothing really jumped out at at me. Then, while talking to Heather, I realized trying to be different just didn't make sense for such a traditional holiday. With a lot of her help we decided on a Classic Bread Stuffing with Sausage recipe from the November issue of Rachael Ray's magazine.
