Showing off is just showing you some food I made mostly for gatherings.

Up above is

Apple, Hazelnut, Taleggio Cheese, Shishito Pepper Pizza

Potato and Cheese stuffed Peppers

Amarena Cherry Goat Cheese topped lightly Pickled Beet Slices

Tomato,Pesto, Cheese, Pizza

Butternut Squash, cannoli cheese, pistachio pizza

Macaroni & Cheese Stuffed Potatoes

Everyone loves all three of these!

Everyone likes pizza or just about everyone. I made pizza and pizza rolls. They really are the same just put together different. To my surprise the pizza rolls went first. I guess they are easier to just pick up and take.

Corned Beef & Cabbage Hand Pies

For one gathering I brought this –

Chipotle rice corn cheddar with potato string wrapped peppers

Smashed red mini potatoes topped with duchess potatoes

Corned beef and Cabbage hand pies

Cherry filled cookies with chocolate drizzle

It was a morning group so the cookies and potato bites went first followed by the stuffed peppers but it all eventually went

The next day had a St Patrick’s Party and brought a big box of corned beef and cabbage hand pies and a small tray of smashed mini red potatoes topped with duchess potatoes. They went like lightning there.

This next one coming isn’t for a gathering but is worth showing off. Just starting out a pastrami.

This gets cooked up with water to cure the brisket.

This needs to sit in the refrigerator and cure for give or take a week and then it gets smoked.

It’s fun to cook and to show off.
