Here’s what I made from the February Paint Bucket
Mini Pepper Nachos turned into Taco Tuesday Dip
Broccoli and Cheddar Stuffed Potato Skins with Avocado Cream from Food Network turned into Broccoli & Cheese Smothered Potato Boats, and were featured at Loriās Culinary Creations
Polenta Cakes with Sundried Tomatoes, Kale & Mushrooms from Whole Foods turned into Mushroom Topped Polenta.Ā This was just sauteed mushrooms atop sauteed polenta, and rather bland…it needs work so I didn’t share it with you
Air Fryer Fried Chicken was another culinary disappointment.Ā The air fryer was returned and I’m sticking with my more traditional cooking methods
Chocolate āSalamiā from Culinary Ginger turned into Chocolate Ravioli, good for any occasion~ and was featured on Storypiece
