Cook for the Cure:
|
Miller Brooks opened its doors to roughly 100 guests for the annual Cook for the Cure event held Friday, October 28, 2005.
Guests tasted more than 13 homemade soups lovingly prepared by Miller Brooks employees. In addition, various artful and collectible items were provided by MB employees for a silent auction.
MB Project Manager Nancy Carroll won the Golden Ladle for the best soup
(her winning recipe is seen below). And more than $5,600 was collected in total donations with all monies benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. As a recap of the event, we produced a cookbook containing all the recipes featured that day. To request a complimentary copy of this cookbook, please call us at 317-873-8100 or email us at cookforthecure@millerbrooks.com.

Roast Peppers:
Cut off stem end of pepper and pull out seeds. Slice in half for roasting and place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle olive oil over peppers.
Roast skin side up in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Take out of oven and fold foil up and around the peppers so they steam for 10 minutes. Remove foil and pull of the blistered skin.
