Gourmet Magazine May 2007

April 30, 2007

Written for Paper Palate on the Well Fed Network
One of the biggest complaints I hear about Gourmet magazine
is that it has too many advertisements. People get frustrated at the
amount of magazine space that is taken up by the ads and tend to skip
reading the issues all together because of this. I personally love the
ads in [...]

South of the Border S’Mores

April 26, 2007

Written for Kids Cuisine on the Well Fed Network
Getting creative at snack time is always a challenge for me. I know that other moms share this struggle as well. It is hard to get out of the cheese and crackers rut. Thank goodness there are resources out there to help us out. One of [...]

From Disaster to Divine

April 25, 2007

 
The first time I ever made clover rolls it was a kitchen disaster. To this day I have no idea what went wrong. The rolls that I had such high hopes for were hard as a rock. My husband and I had a fun time kicking them around the kitchen. I tried to give our [...]

Simply Salmon

April 22, 2007

 
I know a lot of people who claim to not like fish. They often say it is because of the "fishy" flavor that fish has. A lot of people I know who do like fish don’t like to make it at home because they think that the recipe has to be elaborate or the process [...]

April 19, 2007

A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from David Rock, a rep for a product called Nandos Peri Peri Sauces. He was wondering if he could send me some of their products to try and then review. I took a look at their website and found out that Nandos is a company that manufacturers [...]

The Bundt Cake Movement

April 16, 2007

Bundt cakes always get a bad rap for being boring. When I think of bundt cakes, I think of little old ladies and their church pot luck suppers. Bundt cakes seem to be all over the place at those events.  People seem to like bundt cakes, but they rarely get the ooohhh’s and ahhhhh’s they [...]

Ooooey Gooey Monkey Bread

April 12, 2007

 
I have a friend who does not like for her kids to get messy. Her kids don’t know about condiments…dipping things in ranch dressing, ketchup, barbecue sauce, etc is something they have yet to experience. Jelly on their sandwiches? Forget about it… too messy. Pancakes and waffles simply get butter. There is no such thing [...]

A Dessert Worth Destroying

April 9, 2007

 
I love Trifles. They are one of my favorite desserts to make because they are always delicious and they always make a beautiful presentation. The problem with trifles is that they are almost too pretty. When it comes time to serve them, the very thought of scooping into the big trifle bowl to tear apart [...]

Don’t Mess With Texas

April 6, 2007

 
Texans are proud people. If you want proof, pass over the border in to Texas, stop at the nearest visitors center and you will be greeted with friendly folks eager to pass out their giant "Don’t Mess With Texas" bumper stickers. You will see big Chevy trucks with the "Lone Star State" emblem on their [...]
