Anything else I think you should try.
Who would eat a raw cranberry ?! OMG – what an awful thought! No, no, no…these are ‘candied’ cranberries. This is my new wow ’em treat for guests this holiday. Why – because they’re unbelievably festive and even more unbelievable easy! I actually had to take extra pics and spread out the steps to make […] Read more…
Halloween’s over, but pumpkin season is just breaking into full stride! This year I bought, at my local Farm Stand (Fraziers) a lovely pumpkin. My son just had to have it. He loves ’em. So, we picked out a medium sized one and added $8.00 to the tab. Not bad – it was a pretty […] Read more…
I don’t want to step on anyone’s corporate feelings , but I think all cooks know what I’m talking about. Of course it’s Slumgullion.. what a horrifically unappetizing name for such a tasty dish! I though it was some weird name my Mom came up with, nope. Apparently, it’s a real thing. It seems that […] Read more…
For many years, my husband and I have been sharing our love of a recipe that my mother-in-law handed down to us. Marinated Flank Steak. I have a printed copy of her actual recipe card that was faxed to us from across the country back in ’97 ! Yes, 1997. It’s splattered with bits of […] Read more…
I have a confession to make – I love Ben & Jerry, no really. One thing I love about them most is that they make one of my all time favorite ice cream flavors – Chunky Monkey. Oh, yeah you know the one. Full fat banana flavored ice cream with chunks of chocolate and walnuts,… […] Read more…
This more fun in the kitchen. I was always fascinated by those ice cream cones that were dipped. I’d watch the ladies at the Dairy Queen fill my cone from the, equally fascinating, soft-serve machine, and then dip it into this small vat of chocolate wonderment. That covering would set hard by the time they […] Read more…
Who remembers Coco Wheats? Yeah, me too. I think they still sell them, but not at my store. That’s ok, cause I’m not supposed to eat them anyway. It’s one of the first examples of overloading a perfectly healthy breakfast cereal with super sweetened chocolate. Like I ever needed help eating Cream of Wheat (which […] Read more…
Last week or so, I mentioned that I’d gone to the local farmers market and one of the things I brought back was an enormous cabbage. Now, you know I had to do something with it. One evening we made fish tacos, which require coleslaw – yum. But that doesn’t take much. I had previously […] Read more…
Summer means tomatoes. Here, in FL we grow tomatoes – beautiful Ruskin reds that are fantastic. Problem is, you can’t buy them in a grocery store. Yes, that’s right. We have, available for purchase, pre-packaged Tennessee, or Canadian, or Mexican tomatoes. Really? Or the ones that look good, but have whitish flesh that tastes slightly […] Read more…
HEY! It’s pumpkin season – you were warned! I am a self professed PSL junkie. That’s a Pumpkin Spiced Latte, in ‘Starbucks’ lingo. Every year I wait, somewhat impatiently, for the local coffee house to come out with the annual PSL. No shopping trip South to the Big City is complete without a pit stop […] Read more…
