I usually plan out a menu for the week and take it with me when I go grocery shopping. But sometimes I get to the market and all my good intentions fall to the wind because I see something (usually some form of fresh produce) that just calls to me. That’s exactly what happened when I saw these pretty snow peas. They cook up in a matter of minutes and form a fantastic summer meal paired with grilled teriyaki chicken and jasmine rice. I’m sending this recipe to Reeni of Cinnamon & Spice for her Side Dish Showdown. June’s theme is Anything Goes! Snow Pea […]...
Herbed New Potato Salad
New potatoes are basically just baby potatoes that have been harvested early while they’re still small. The skin of new potatoes is much thinner than the skin of mature potatoes, so new potatoes are typically not peeled. I’ve seen baby red potatoes and baby gold potatoes, and either would be delicious in this recipe. New Potatoes (or Baby Potatoes) Chives give this potato salad a subtle onion-y flavor. I garnished the top of the salad with a few chive flower buds, which are actually edible. (I think it would be even prettier to let the chive buds blossom into pretty purple flowers (also edible) and use that as a garnish.) Herbed […]...
Stovetop Southwest Mac ‘n’ Cheese
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I recently received some Pace Picate Sauce. This sauce is much smoother than salsa (but with a similar flavor), which makes it better for using in recipes than dipping with chips. It brings a bright, zesty flavor that I thought would be very nice in a southwest-style mac ‘n’ cheese. This dish is easy to customize. Use any color bell pepper you like. If you don’t like beans, you can use another kind of protein, such as ground beef/turkey/chicken or grilled chicken breast. If you want to spice up the heat level, add hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or cook […]...
Cheese Latkes & Homemade Applesauce For Hanukkah
Chaya (of Sweet and Savory Says It All) was kind enough to host our All Through the Year Cheer Hanukkah, so I’ll be sending this dish over to her. She is now accepting recipe submissions! According to History.com, “On each night of Hanukkah, the menorah is lit to commemorate a miracle which occurred after the Jews proclaimed victory over the Syrian armies in 165 B.C.E. When Jews came to rededicate the Temple-which had been defiled by the Syrians-they found only one small flask of oil with which to light the menorah. This flask contained only enough oil for one day, yet the lamp burned […]...
Autumn Potato-Pumpkin Gratin
For quite a while now I’ve been trying to think about the perfect Thanksgiving dinner side dish. Of course, turkey is the star of the show, but the deliciousness of turkey always delivers. Unfortunately, however, all side dishes are not created equal. There are the usual standbys, like stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and the ever-present holiday green bean casserole. But year after year, I get a little tired of the same old side dishes. Then I remembered a potato gratin that Rachael Ray had made on one of her special Thanksgiving shows…she called it Autumn Potato Gratin and it sounded perfect. I changed […]...
Baked Zucchini Fries with Homemade Buttermilk-Yogurt Ranch Dressing
I know I promised a few recipes with yogurt this week, in honor of the Blogger Secret Ingredient. It came at a good time because I was planning on making baked zucchini fries, and what goes better with zucchini fries than ranch dressing? And ranch dressing goes perfectly with almost anything I can think of (raw veggies, crackers, sandwiches, grilled meats, etc.) so I always make extra. The zucchini is really just a guise so I don’t just eat the ranch by itself. A Note on the Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk you can make your own. Pour ½ c of milk into […]...
Bleu Cheese Mac
Does anyone else feel like fall = comfort food? I don’t know of a more widely popular comfort food than homemade macaroni and cheese. Pasta, cheese, and a house full of tantalizing smells as it cooks. Be forewarned though, with Bleu and sharp white Cheddar cheeses, this is a grownup-friendly mac and cheese (sorry kiddies!). My grown-up Bleu Cheese Mac will be sent to Natasha of 5 Star Foodie for her 5 Star Makeover: Macaroni and Cheese! Bleu Cheese Mac (Yield: about 8 servings) ¾ to 1 pound whole grain rotini pasta (or any small pasta shape you like) 4 TB plus […]...
