Farewell - Until We Meet Again

It's a sad day! The cooking group Tyler Florence Fridays has posted it's final round-up! Sigh. Sniffle. It's been a great year of cooking with Tyler! One I will remember for all of it's deliciousness. I had fun the 14 weeks I was involved on and off throughout the year. I didn't realize this was the last week or I would of been certain to participate. Instead I thought it would be fun to post my own round-up. Although it's the end of Tyler Florence Fridays it's not the end for me - I have Tyler's Chicken and Dumplings in my sights.


My first recipe and one of my very favorites was Tyler's Ultimate Cheesecake. I adapted it and added dulce de leche. "Luxuriously creamy, sinfully sweet, and with a little bit of tart from the sour cream. The dulce de leche added a rich caramel flavor that just melted the cheesecake on my tongue."





Next up were Tyler's Yorkshire Popovers.

"Popovers are made of a light, eggy, moist, puffy dough and are kind of hollow in the center."





Tyler'sShrimp Scampi "delicious, fast, and easy to make."





Fettucine Alfredo

"I swapped Tyler’s cream-laden sauce for a lighter version and his handmade fettucine for some market-fresh Spinach fettucine."





"This is Tyler's Fabulous Focaccia Bread filled with Salami, Mozzarella, Parmesan, caramelized onions and peppers with hints of garlic and thyme."





Upside Down Apple French Toast

"A mouth-watering baked French toast loaded with fresh apples, sweet cranberries and crunchy pecans."




Espresso Brownies for Breakfast

"These are extremely fudgy, dense and will satisfy any severe chocolate craving!"





Ravioli-Stuffed Acorn Squash Hearts with Mozzarella Cream Sauce

"I used bite-size cheese Ravioli smothered in a creamy, mozzarella herb sauce to fill these buttery acorn squash hearts until they were ready to overflow."





Mozzarella Pesto Grilled Cheese & Strawberry Salad

"This one had the perfect amount of butter-fried crunchiness and melted, molten mozzarella oozing out the cracks speckled with the pumpkin-arugula pesto."





The Ultimate Fish Tacos

"These are fried with a crispy breading of seasoned panko crumbs, served on corn tortillas with a creamy, spicy sauce made with chipotles, sour cream and mayo."





Chipotle Black Bean Soup & Spicy Chile Chips

"It was nice and spicy, hearty, and soul-satisfying."





Asian Chicken Salad


"Seared chicken breast with a gorgeous glaze of ginger, honey, toasty sesame seeds, and soy sauce served on a bed of grilled romaine."





Cold Sesame Peanut Butter Noodles

"These noodles are heavy on the peanut butter and flavored with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili sauce and rice wine vinegar."





Tempura Green Beans w/ Chile, Garlic and Sesame Aioli


"The batter was delicate and crunchy and encased the string bean trapping its moisture and sweet, crispy flavor inside. The aioli was wonderfully cool in contrast to the warm beans and spicy-hot at the same time. True bliss."




Such sweet delicious memories!

I want to say thank-you to Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies and Deb of Kahakai Kitchen for tirelessly posting the TFF round-ups every week. Now that I've posted my own I see how much work it is. They have, along with Heather of Girlichef, started a new cooking club; I Heart Cooking Clubs. Go join the fun!
