Today is The Secret Recipe Club posting day, and this is the second month I am participating. You may have seen the two previous posting days this month; the small(ish) group I joined so that I could actively participate and “get to know”, has grown. As a result, the gal’s behind the club have split us up into three groups.  I am in group C.

I must admit, the incessant emails we receive each day (instead of compiling thoughts into one, organized note) caused to me question my participation.  Even so, I am excited to have been introduced to a new blog and cook some great food. Mindy (The World in my Kitchen) has a great mix of recipes.  It was a ton of fun to peruse through all of her delicious dishes.  Like last month, when I was given La Phemme Phoodie blog to look at,  I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make a dessert or a breakfast or what.

First, there was Mindy’s Pimento Cheese. As if that was tempting enough, she also had a Fried Green Tomato Pimento Cheese sandwich. that sang to me.  There is a restaurant here that has a similar ‘wich, a Roasted Poblano & Pimento Cheese sandwich. For some reason, it has been 86′d each time I have visit.  So, making it myself seems inevitable. But, I try not to keep bread in the house, so I just made the cheese.

Then, there was Mindy’s French Cookin 101 and her Quiche Lorraine.  I had to try that too, only I made minis that I cut into bite-and-a-½-sized slices to serve as an appetizer.  (I used panchetta and cheated with Pillsbury’s crust.)

With all the enjoyment that I have had, the recipe that will become a staple in my Atlanta home is the Asian Slaw Dressing. I mixed it shredded cabbage I picked up from Trader Joe’s, diced Sugar Snap Peas, and some remaining sea bass I marinaded, baked and flaked. Healthy, flavorful perfection. Thanks Mindy!
