Crepini Cafe Lucky for me the folks at Crepini Cafe were nice enough to send me a second round of crepini! (You can check out my review of the first ones by reading my Crepini From Crepini Cafe post.) Let me make no mistake about it. I really like these things, but you may be…
For the first time since my childhood, last Friday night I experienced a sugar high. A full-on, all-is-right-with-the-world, drunk-like-shots-of-whiskey sugar high. Thanks Amore Chocolate Pizzas. The 10 pounds I put on was totally worth it. And I totally mean that. Chocolate Fondue Is Awesome It all started with a fairly innocent email. Amore was having…
Happy #MeatlessMonday! Today we’re talking about Cooking with Your Kids and making Apple, Banana, and Peanut Butter Sandwiches Yes, this recipe is very simple, but it’s important to know that there are fun, meatless alternatives we can give our kids that aren’t fried or full of sugar. Sure, some peanut butters are little more than…
Abuelo’s…Did I Talk Bad About You In a Former Life? You may be wondering what this is all about. Frankly, I am of two minds about Abuelo’s Mexican Food Restaurant. (Though, technically, this applies only to the restaurant in Kansas City since it’s the only one at which I’ve ever dined.) 50% of my brain says:…
When sent a bottle of Tribal Moose Cranberry BBQ Sauce, what can you do but make BBQ Meatballs Nothing, right? Okay, I get it. If this were Iron Chef, I’d probably not score too high in the inventiveness department, but I wanted BBQ meatballs and I had a great BBQ sauce. Ergo, Tribal Moose BBQ…
It’s one thing to get to be sent marinara and vodka sauces. It’s another to be sent Paul Sorvino’s authentic neapolitian marinara and vodka sauces. Now, I’m not one to go ga ga for a movie star, but I really like the movies Goodfellas and Bulworth (both starring Mister Sorvino) so it was kind of…
Cooking the Cowboy Way The good folks at Andrews McMeel sent me Cooking the Cowboy Way: Recipes Inspired by Campfires, Chuck Wagons, and Ranch Kitchens by Grady Spears with June Naylor to review. This may have something to do with my previous comments regarding the impossibility of dissolving my marriage on the grounds of my wife…
Who’s ready for aebleskiver? What, you’ve never heard of aebleskiver? Well, you won’t be able to say that anymore after we talk about Aunt Else’s Aebleskiver Okay, I wouldn’t be surprised if you had never heard of aebleskiver. I hadn’t until a chance viewing of The Best Thing I Ever Ate on Food Network in…
Mole sauce tastes good on beef, burgers, and pork, why not Milagro Mole Brushed Shrimp Yes, sadly we have come to the final part of the trinity: the last delicious meal I made from one single bottle of @melanieyunk’s delicious mole sauce that she gave me. Now, this is the second bottle of Big Acres…
So, for the past few days, we’ve been talking about Le Grand’s delicious sauces. (Read here for an introduction to Le Grand’s gourmet raw sauces.) Yesterday, we made braised meatballs in sun-dried tomato pesto, today we’re going to try something different: Cucumber “Fettuccini” with Le Grand Garden Pesto Sauce So I think in my intro, I said…
