Accidental Delicious Discoveries

Tell us about something you put together on a whim that turned out to be delicious!

Last week I tried a recipe that I found online for baked ziti, using sour cream instead of ricotta. The picture in the blog was beautiful, all creamy and delicious-looking. Mine did not look like that. My sour cream curdled, and ended up just like ricotta. Tasted like ricotta, too.

I still wanted to know what the original would have been like. Tonight, I had plain old spaghetti and sauce for dinner, and I plopped a spoonful of sour cream on top. OH MY GOODNESS, it was delicious! I may always have to serve sour cream with the spaghetti now.

Next?

Hot coffee (fresh-ground espresso), no milk or sugar, poured into a balloon glass, some (read: a lot of ) vanilla ice-cream on it, whipped cream on the ice-cream. Eat with a spoon.

I found a recipe in one of my mom’s older cookbooks for a smoothie and I asked her if she’d make one for me. I’ve been having them ever since. They’re called Banana Cows. In a blender, combine ice, a banana, honey, vanilla extract, and about a cup or two of milk. They’re so so good.

That sounds amazing.

Cucumber slices sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar…I know…but they are really good. They don’t keep very well, so just make what you are going to eat at one sitting. :
