On July 2nd we hosted a baby shower for 2 of my sisters. I made the Crab Rangoon with Pineapple/Chile sauce (Iss. #51) and the Mushroom Croustades that Tammy so nicely suggested. Both recipes were a big hit! The sauce for the rangoons, in my opinion, could use a little more heat but was otherwise very easy and delicious. The rangoons themselves were great but proved to be a little more difficult to fill and fold than I thought they'd be. Because time was running short, I handed this recipe to my wonderful husband Mark and brother Matthew. Mark is an able cook but this was a tough one for him. It was a bit of trial and error at the start to fill the wonton wrappers without the filling "blowing out" once they were fried. When the rangoons were fried the dough puffed up quite a bit and it felt as though there wasn't much inside of it. I think the next time I make them I will use two wonton wrappers and make them ravioli style.
The Mushroom Croustades that Tammy posted were wonderful! I will definitely make those again!
I also made some stuffed cherry tomatoes. I stuffed them with fresh mozzarella, basil, lemon zest, olive oil, salt and pepper. And some tortilla roll-ups. Made with sun-dried tomato cream cheese and deli turkey and ham.
The shower went really well, but man, am I glad it's over!!
