Your Homemade Creations

I joined the "Qu's Kitchen" group...but noticed that the threads hadn't been posted in since 2010 and I didn't want to revive it in case people got mad. If there's any interest...how about people post pics of their yummy homemade food pictures in here? We can ask for suggestions, offer each other advice, comment on plating, etc. I can toss in a couple to start:

1. Tofu with preserved egg and bonito flakes
2. Lamb chops with rosemary mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus

For the 4th of July, my lovers and I, along with some friends, made the most ridiculously amazing creation on earth. It's called the one-upmanship cookie. It's created by taking double stuffed oreos, covering them in melted chocolate, and then surrounded them by chocolate chip cookie dough. Then you place them in a brownie tin with the ingredients to make a brownie, until it just becomes this giant coagulated delicious cookie-brownie fusion. It is... amazing. Enjoy some photos:

Sexy.




We also baked some bacon bits into it as well. >_>

Broccolini with prosciutto, mushrooms and fried egg topped with parmesan and lemon zest.
(SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...broccolini.jpg
15 minutes to make, and it's insanely good.

Crunch Roll: (SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...crunchroll.jpg
Takes forever to make, quite possibly not worth it to make sushi at home.

Chicken Piccata: (SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...npiccata-1.jpg
One of my favorite dishes ever.

Scallops with angel hair pasta in butter sauce: (SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...r/IMG_2717.jpg

Scallops. Seriously, mothersmurfing scallops. <3

My special "Roman" burger: (SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...omanburger.jpg
The best burger you will ever eat. Secret is sundried tomatoes mixed into the meat.

French toast with apple compote: (SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...reakfast-1.jpg

Quick and easy. Takes only like 10 minutes to whip up.

Perfect tomato sauce pasta: (SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...pastasauce.jpg
Recipe from Bon Appetit magazine. It billed itself as the "the simplest, silkiest sauce you’ll ever make." It totally was.

Tonkatsu: (SPOILER)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...r/tonkatsu.jpg
I don't eat a lot of pork, but Boyfriend requests it, I make it. I am an awesome girlfriend. :cool:

Del Murder and I are making chili (my epic recipe) and cornbread (foa's grandma's secret recipe) later today. Will post pictures if I get the chance.

Mmmm I love scallops! I've been planning on picking up some scallops on my next Costco run. I'll definitely have to pick up some angel hair now too. I'm thinking of using a simple olive oil and garlic sauce...maybe a bit of lemon and ginger.

I LOVE proscuitto too (I will admit, I'll eat it straight out of the package by itself :O_O:) I make fried eggs often too, so I'll have to attempt your broccolini with prosciutto, mushrooms and fried egg topped with parmesan and lemon zest.

! Tell me how it goes. I haven't had it like that in a long time.

Yummy :drool:
I never knew that there were good cooks in here :D

Oh man, that all looks good, Miriel, but that Tonkatsu makes me nearly drool. I adore katsu dishes. ;_; <3

All of Miriel's pictures appear broken to me! D:

Comment on plating?! Put food on plate, enjoy!

I may be a bit too bohemian..

I think I have a food boner right now.

Haha Araciel...I typically just throw food on a plate (since I grew up eating family style and that's what my boyfriend and I have been doing too), so I don't usually present a single pretty looking plate. But when I get into my Food Network phases...I feel like a slacker so I'll throw food together to take pics of :lol:

Miriel, do you have a dslr? My pictures (and food for that matter) look so inferior!

1. Baby eggplant roasted in the oven with olive oil, garlic, and herbs (soooo soft and yummy)
2. Leek with bacon and shiitake mushrooms
3. Chicken with soy sauce and oyster sauce
4. Soup made with leftover kalbi bones from a Korean BBQ restaurant, lotus roots, and shiitake mushrooms

Those look yummy!

Miriel is a professional photographer, so her pictures are always extra fancy.

I shall have to show you how a 30 year old boy cooks - pics to follow.
