The blog has a lot of foodies that check out the gourmet food posts and who send me recipe suggestions, tips, etc. I wish I had time to get the recipes up for the homemade Alfredo sauce, marinara sauce, and lasagne, which are among the best I have ever had. The first and last were…
I’m making the spa water for mom’s birthday dinner tonight now that the chocolate dipped strawberries are done and the homemade Italian food needs to be started. A few days ago, we got a book called Spa Water – A Guide to Creating World Class Spa Water at Home that details the recipes found in some…
Over the next few hours, four or five generations of the family are descending on my house where we are preparing for my mom’s 50th birthday celebration tonight. Before everyone gets here, the spouse and I are getting the chocolate covered strawberries ready. The brownies were baked last night, my sister is picking up the…
Last night, we were in a hurry; were sponsoring a movie night and didn’t have much time to get dinner and dessert together. There would be no perfectly molded honey lemon bee hive cakes or unique custom icing crafted. Instead there would be delicious nachos and some sort of after dinner sweet. Whatever we did…
I happened to go into the kitchen for something in the middle of working from home tonight when I had an idea … an icing-based filling consisting of mandarin oranges, cinnamon, and vanilla. I threw open the cabinets and began formulating the base. We were so successful with the lemon zest icing for the honey…
A few nights ago, I saw a bee hive cake pan mold on Pinterest one of my family members posted that looked awesome. I finally found it here, and bought it. The recipe for the honey lemon cake comes with the cake pan so I won’t post it but we didn’t use the icing recipes,…
We’ve been looking for a corn chowder recipe to add to the “permanent” on-demand recipe collection but most are geared toward summer when fresh corn on the cob is abundant in the Midwest. This allows you to use the rich pulp, corn juices, and kernels to create a delicious, thick chowder that can be eaten on summer nights with a French baguette, preferably on the porch with a glass of sweet tea as your family and friends sit and talk with kids running around in the background.
This evening we had a Belgian Waffle party. Before we get to the good stuff (for you foodies, anyway), let me say: Stop what you are doing right now and go buy the KitchenAid Pro Line Waffle Baker Waffle Maker. It is the greatest waffle maker I have ever used, ever owned, or probably every will own.
The gourmet food posts on the site are probably going to grow exponentially over the coming years. I’d publicly debated various cookware as far back as last year and finally decided to take the plunge as part of the six-month May Day project. Yesterday evening, I bought a set of copper Ruffoni pots and pans, which were going…
One of the things on the “to find” culinary list is a recipe for the perfect gourmet macaroni and cheese and the perfect recipe for mango pineapple smoothies. Tonight was a chance to make a go at both of these things. [mainbodyad]Ideally, a great macaroni and cheese would be smooth, rich, and complex. Aaron…
