Serious Efforts: Pot Pie Crust

I don't think you need to use a pasta attachment, a good old rolling pin will do the trick. Heres is a recipe for Cream Cheese Crust that I used to make a potpie a while back - very easy, and I used a rolling pin.

What is your favorite cooking tip or recipe from Grandma?

Bake from the heart. Everything comes out better when you put some soul into it.

Spaghetti Squash - 'Tis the Season

I didn't like spaghetti squash until I went on a food cleanse where we ate all manner of delicious squash varieties. Now I'm hooked. I posted a recipe for "Spaghetti Squash with Pumpkin Seed Pesto" a while back if you're feeling adventurous. :)

What to do with morel mushrooms?

I bought them at Whole Foods in Westchester, NY. They have a ton of morels there, but at $60/lb I thought 3 oz was enough! Chaoss, that's very cool that you used to hunt morels with your dad.

How do you make a kitchen kosher?

Thank you very much Lou and Jerzee! It's not a new kitchen but an established kitchen the needs to be made 100% kosher. So I guess she'll have to empty all her cabinents, scrub the kitchen down and restock all the food.

How are pots, pans, utensils and dishes made kosher? Will she have to buy new sets, one for dairy and one for meat? I read online that if you heat these items in a self cleaning oven (to where a piece of straw singes when touching them) they are then considered kosher, but I doubt most kitchen items will be able to handle this sort of treatment.

Have you ever noticed how many times Alton Brown says, "Uh"?

I've never noticed that! I'm going to look for it next time I watch "Good Eats."

But even if he says it a lot, I still... uh, love him. Yay AB!

Cookbook Giveaway: 'A Twist of the Wrist'

My favorite canned food is chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I use them in everything from mashed sweet potatoes (thanks AB) to rustic lentil soup to homemade enchilada sauce. :)

Healthy, College Budget Pasta Dish

I love making Red Wine Pasta. It's not too expensive when you consider the size of slivered almonds and golden raisins packages. Just use cooking red wine, no need to buy an expensive bottle of fancy stuff. :)
