Deviled Eggs Dressed Up
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 9:00 AM
Smitten Kitchen is my favorite food blog, and last month she had recipe for Caesar salad deviled eggs that I bookmarked immediately. Then I got busy with cooking for Christmas and forgot all about it.
Fast forward to January when - having resolved to add protein to my diet - I pulled the recipe up again, only to discover upon careful reading that it’s fairly fussy. It involves two pans and a mixing... READ MORE
What's Cookin'?
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Food on Friday, December 16, 2011 10:00 AM
Are you baking this weekend?
I think we’re going to add these (which I found on Pinterest and traced to this blog) to our rotation.
Because they’re cute.
And because that’s exactly how much frosting I can tolerate.
How about you? Trying anything new for Christmas this year?
Put Some Pepper In It
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Food on Sunday, December 04, 2011 3:00 PM
I bought a big container of paprika last week.
I freely admit I was overcome by nostalgia for this old-fashioned tin like the ones my mom used to keep; our local grocery usually doesn’t stock them.
Only once I was home did it occur to me I have no idea what to do with it.
Besides sprinkling it on deviled eggs.
Actually, I do have one recipe to share: my paternal grandmother’s simple and soothing... READ MORE
Post-Thanksgiving Recipes
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, November 28, 2011 9:00 AM
It’s the Monday after Thanksgiving. Do you know where your turkey carcass is?
I’m sure most of our lovely readers, superb homemakers that you are, have already dealt with yours. But in case you’re a procrastinator like me, may I remind you that making stock is both easy and cost-effective? And will make for some lovely soup at some later date? Read about making stock here.
(Or, if you’re too busy... READ MORE
A Summer Treat When Summer's Over
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 7:48 PM
We’re enjoying a short flashback here (high of 78 today!) but by the calendar, summer is over.
Every year I’m saddened to realize that, yet again, I didn’t get a chance to make s’mores. (We have a gas grill, so it’s harder than when I was a kid and the embers in our charcoal grill pretty much commanded us to roast marshmallows over them.)
S’mores are delicious. Their season is short. I should take... READ MORE
High There, Biscuits
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, October 03, 2011 7:42 PM
You know what’s good? Biscuits. And I love to make them. Five ingredients, a few minutes to put them together, and I’ve got delicious baked goodness fresh from my oven.
But I long ago gave up on flaky biscuits in favor of fluffy dropped ones, because I could not get the hang of the rolled ones. Somehow mine always turned out flat and puck-like.
I recently had a whim and gave flaky biscuits another... READ MORE
Simpler Than Pie
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Thursday, September 29, 2011 9:00 AM
Last week Daria mentioned apple pie and I sighed a little. I will probably get some pie this year when my mom or my sister makes it, but I have no time to make it myself.
Luckily, I remembered how much I love this easy tart recipe. I shared it last summer as a recipe for peach tart, and this is a slight adaptation for apple season. I think it’s perfect - crumbly crust and tender baked apples in sweet... READ MORE
Apple Time Is Here!
Posted by DariaSockey in Food on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 3:00 PM
You can tell you’re in the Sockey home in September through November by sense of smell alone.
Apples are bound to be on the menu in some form or another several days a week. My top three are apple pie, apple crisp, and apple sauce. Apples will also appear in salads, and now and again I serve Fried Apples ‘n’ Onions as a side dish, in homage to Laura Ingalls Wilders’ very hungry Almanzo in Farmer... READ MORE
Inducing Labor Day
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Food on Monday, September 05, 2011 1:54 PM
It’s labor day, and my thoughts are with a girlfriend who’s a bit overdue and desperate for labor to begin.
She lives in Atlanta, so I had to remind her about the alleged induction powers of Scalini’s eggplant parmesan.
Sounds weird to me, but the restaurant claims to have 300 babies born within 48 hours of their moms eating the dish, so who am I to scoff?
I hope you’ll comment on the oddest labor-inducing trick you ever heard of—or swear by.
Meanwhile, here’s a little feature the Willits did on this bizarre local tradition a couple of years ago.
What to Cook When You're Pressed for Time
Posted by DariaSockey in Food on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 10:00 AM
After a week of roast chicken, barbecue chicken sandwiches, garlic chicken and pasta, chicken soup and chicken enchiladas — with more of your recipes in the freezer waiting for another time — the kids were looking forward to a promised meatloaf.
After a late appointment with one child’s speech therapist, I was contemplating a very late dinner, when I remembered an old shortcut: plopping the mixture... READ MORE
