Kettle corn and Food and Wine Magazine. Seems like an odd combination, doesn’t it? That’s what I first thought when I noticed that Aspen Kettle Corn was taste #15 in Food and Wine Magazine’s 100 Tastes to Try in 2007. What could possibly make something as simple as kettle corn so special that it gets [...]
Food & Wine Magazine 100 Tastes to Try in 2007 – Taste #4 Greek Olive Oil
My first official “Must Taste” of 2007 is Food and Wine Magazine’s #4 taste – Greek Olive Oil. I’ve actually had the pleasure of tasting Greek Olive Oil in the past, but decided to do things right and give it a try in the year 2007. The olive oil I decided to use for this [...]
2007 Goals
I posted this info over in my Family Blog, but thought that some of it applied to the culinary side of my life, so thought I’d post it here too. For those of you that read both, sorry for the repetition! All of the talk this time of year seems to be about New Year’s [...]
Menu Planning Deviant
Today was the first day of getting back on the "follow my menu plan" bandwagon, and I have already had to stray. I wrote out my list of meals last week and when I went to prepare everything for tonight’s Chicken Marsala from the Good Home Cookbook, I realized I was missing the main ingredient. [...]
Bread, Glorious Bread!
If you haven’t figured this out already, I’m a carb girl. I love a loaf of fresh baked bread and I am convinced that I could live on bread alone. I have yet to meet a bread I didn’t like. That’s not to say that I haven’t had a few bread making disasters in my [...]
Christmas Wrap Up
I’ve been meaning to get some Christmas photos posted all week, but time has sped by! We had a great Christmas. I spend Christmas Eve night with our neighbors who invited Ella and I over for their traditional White Chicken Chili. I’ve never had White Chili before and it was fabulous! Then, I went to [...]
Let’s see your kitchen!
Ilva over at Lucullian Delights has challenged all of us food bloggers to show everyone where the magic happens… the Kitchen. I love a challenge and I love seeing kitchens, so I was more than happy to participate. Here are two pictures of my kitchen. The second photo is of one of my favorite features [...]
Bring Something Fancy… like Jello!
You know you’ll be attending a very kid friendly event when the hostess asks you to bring something fancy, and by fancy she means jello. My college roommate, Mikki, invited us over to their house in Lee’s Summit to watch the K-State/Rutgers bowl game last night. When I spoke with her earlier in the week, [...]
Remember this!
I need to get some pictures posted, but it will have to wait. For now, I’m just going to post a few things that have happened in the past few days that I want to remember. Tomorrow, I’ll post pictures of Christmas and various other things that have happened around the homestead. First off, Kelly [...]
Food and Wine Challenge – The list and a fellow blogger request
OK ladies and gentlemen… the time has come. 2007 is right around the corner. If you remember, a couple of weeks ago I wrote about the Food and Wine Challenge I am undertaking in the year 2007. In the January issue of Food and Wine magazine, they listed “100 Tastes You Must Try in 2007″. [...]
