It’s time for a little stroll around the web-food-wonderland. I can get lost out there for days. It’s a fun place. Foodie Mama: a current fave of mine, this mom-oriented website offers recipes, tips, advice, and sections on “Feeding by Age” which addresses the unique challenges of feeding babies, toddlers, children, and teens. I guess the [...]
Traditional tetrazzini involves non-red meat, mushrooms, and almonds in a Parmesan sauce over pasta. So I’ve got the non-red meat part, but this recipe diverges from the traditional. It’s still a cream sauce, but with Asiago rather than Parmesan. The two could be interchanged, however. If I’d had mushrooms, I would have added them. I [...]
Don’t shun the slow cooker (or crock pot, whatever you want to call it.) I love chopping, dicing, peeling, sauteeing, stirring, blending… but I just don’t always have time to spend an hour or so in the kitchen doing all that great stuff. There are slow-cooker days every week. If I don’t figure that out [...]
Sure, I can do a pb & j and survive, but it leaves me kind of cold. Cold-cut sandwiches are great for picnics and boat rides, but at home, every day? I need variety. I need warmth. I need something to sustain me through the afternoon. But I don’t need to spend 30 minutes cooking [...]
Fall gets me thinking soupy thoughts, if you hadn’t noticed. I love pulling up to the table with a big bowl of something steaming hot, a thick slice of fresh, buttered bread, and a great book to browse while I sip away. When I’m serving soup for supper, I tend to do meatier, slow-cooked stews [...]
Soup is one of my favorite cold-weather foods. It’s warm, comforting, and filling. It’s forgiving: you can tweak amounts and substitute ingredients and still come out with something perfect. Try that with a bread recipe.
Whenever I just don’t feel like cooking, I turn to M.F.K. Fisher. Some of her recipes are strange rather than appealing, but her descriptions get me running to the kitchen. Read these from The Art of Eating:
101 Simple Appetizers in 20 Minutes or Less by Mark Bittman for the NYTimes.
Quick cook appetizers means minimal preparation with some cooking. You won’t be spending hours in the kitchen rolling out dough or some such nonsense… You should be able to pull all these together within 20 minutes of active time in the kitchen. Some require a bit more cooking time, but that part is hands-off. So [...]
Non-Cook Appetizers are those which can be ready for serving with minimal preparation and no baking, roasting, sauteeing, warming, broiling, microwaving, fricasseeing… Because it just takes too much time to fricassee an appetizer when you’re getting ready for a party. |
