Chicken Fontina Risotto: Two-Ways
You guys have seen the new Food Network Magazine, right? I was a little skeptical at first, but I kinda like it. I decided to try a set of recipes they had for risotto: Chicken Fontina Risotto.. and Risotto Cakes. Both recipes were very tasty. I love the fontina cheese.. it’s so creamy and perfect […]
Quick Veggie Tikka Masala
Tikka Masala is one of my favorite indian sauces. My first love is Chicken Tikka Masala, but I would probably eat anything if it were bathed in this sauce. I know I can make it from scratch (I have a recipe.. I’ll get to it eventually), but there’s an easier way. Trader Joe’s Tikka Masala […]
CB’s Cupcake Pop Throwdown
I like people who throw down. Like Bobby Flay. And CB! The lovely CB over at iheartcuppycake and iheartfood4thought has thrown down the Cupcake Pop Challenge. If you’re not familiar with the cupcake pop phenomenon, check out the amazing creator, Bakerella. You won’t be sorry. This wasn’t my first experience with Bakerella (I’ve played around […]
Daring Bakers: Lasagna
Daring Bakers! The March 2009 challenge is hosted by Mary of Beans and Caviar, Melinda of Melbourne Larder and Enza of Io Da Grande. They have chosen Lasagne of Emilia-Romagna from The Splendid Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper as the challenge. And believe me, it was a challenge. This girl has never made pasta by […]
Wanna cook with me?
I know there are lots and lots of baking and cooking groups out there on the internet (Tuesdays with Dorie, You Want Pies With That?, Daring Bakers, Taste&Create, Iron Cupcake, just to name a few…). I think it’s a great way to get to know other bloggers, learn more about cooking, and try new things. […]
My Latest Obsession: Homemade Lemon Curd
I never thought I liked lemon curd. I actually thought it was sort of a weird concept. When I started testing cupcakes, I found that I wanted to fill my lemon meringue cupcake with lemon curd, so I would have to give it a try. I looked around for a few recipes, and they all […]
Taste&Create: Creamy Corn Soup
Taste&Create is another fun online baking group. The premise is that you get paired up with another blogger and you have to choose a recipe from their blog to make and post on your blog. Very cool. My partner this month is Karolcia at For the Body and Soul. She posts lots of yummy creations, […]
Tuesdays with Dorie: Blueberry Crumb Cake Muffins
Today’s TWD recipe is a real winner! Blueberry Crumb Cake, picked by Sihan at Befuddlement. It was actually a real life saver for me. The fridge was bare, my husband was coming home and we needed breakfast for the next day. By some miracle, I had blueberries, so this was perfect. The hubby and I […]
Intro to Bread Baking: Parmesan Herb Rolls
I’ve really been meaning to make some bread. I’m pretty sure I’ll get to it this week, but you never know. (Speaking of breadmaking..) In the meantime, I had a little bread baking warm-up when I made these “quick” rolls. I guess quick is a relative word in baking, since it still took about 2 […]
Hooray for Groceries and Upcoming Recipes!
If you’ve noticed a lack of posts in the past few days, it’s because our refrigerator has been, well.. empty. Nick was away for the weekend, so I was fending for myself. When that happens, I usually end up getting brie, a baguette and some fruit and call it a meal.. not really a recipe […]
