Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
The second sandwich I ordered from Mendocino Farms during our trip to California might have been even better than the first. There was no way I wasn’t going to recreate it at home, and I finally got around to doing just that. The flavors and textures of this sandwich simply work. Rich & creamy brie, tangy goat cheese, sweet caramelized…
1. First things first. I have a new (incredibly dangerous) obsession. Much more flavorful than my beloved Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter, Wafels & Dinges Spekuloos Spread is utterly addictive. I have to thank Kelli for mentioning this product in the comments on my Speculoos Cookie Butter Baked Oatmeal post; I LOVE it =). I can say with certainty admit that the majority…
1. My latest play-on-repeat favorite-of-the-moment song is We Are Young by Fun. I downloaded the song just a few days ago and it has already reached over 10 plays on my iTunes playlist. 2. While on the topic of current favorites, the show Frozen Planet on the Discovery Channel completely took over my evening last night. I will just…
The pairing of apples and cheddar cheese is just one of those culinary combinations that work beautifully well. The crisp sweet fruit is the perfect vehicle for the buttery piquant cheese. I can remember many family hikes fueled by freshly picked McIntosh apples, thick slices of sharp cheddar cheese, and either hearty whole wheat bread…
This post marks the first in a new series I’m going to endearingly refer to as “Blog Bites“. Every now and then, I will photograph, describe, and link back to recipes from around the blogosphere that I’ve made and enjoyed. I’ve been making recipes from other blogs for as long as I myself have been…
1. I’m happy to announce that I once again have an iPhone =)… and I feel no shame in admitting that I’m totally hooked on it. 2. Last Tuesday I treated myself to a kiddie cup of pumpkin soft serve from Truly Yogurt out here in Wellesley (<– best yogurt place around these parts… in my opinion)….
I couldn’t help but sneak in one more pancakes-for-one recipe before Christmas… … and this one tastes just. like. gingerbread. You’ve got the warm gingerbread spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves) and the absolutely essential molasses. Of all the seasonal flavors, gingerbread – to me – is the most Christmasy. My family has always made gingerbread cookies…
I daydream about food countless times a day; but there are special instances when an idea gets stuck in my head and I cannot think about anything else until that idea has yielded a tangible result I can sink my teeth into. Such was the case with this breakfast Panini. The thought of combining a…
Clearly I didn’t waste any time making the grilled bread & marinated tomatoes I mentioned in my vacation recap post. Also, I clearly forgot the fresh parsley this time around… I miss that pop of green color, but the crisp ciabatta + juicy tomatoes still tasted fantastic! The vital ingredients here are good crusty ciabatta bread…
Just thought I’d check in with two announcements; one of an exciting success and the other of an embarrassing failure: These announcements certainly beg the question of how I could perfect something renowned to be rather tricky while screwing up something so straightforward. Your guess is as good as mine. Oh, and Shelby feasted on…
