What an inspiration! I will be making these ... but not with the cylindrical log of sauce that my husband prefers!

Food Bloggers: Going Legit(?) and Entering the Mainstream

I saw the Top Chef episode, and as soon as I heard a food blogger was in the clientele, I was waiting to see who it was.. It was very exciting, and she certainly said in plain English what needed to be said!

What to do when faced with fairly inedible party food?

Nurse a drink, eat the crackers or bread, talk and mingle a lot and then go home and whip up an omelet!

"I'd hate to take a bite out of you...

In one of my favorite comedies, Grumpier Old Men, Burgess Meredith is hilarious trying to pick up Sphia Loren's mom in the grocery store with his line ,"Wanna see my man sized manicotti?" (The versions he uses in the outtakes at the end of the movie will have you rolling!)

What would be your favorite items to find on a Brunch menu?

I also vote for Eggs Benedict and I like it with a twist like avocado, but the Hollandaise is essential.. If this is a buffet you need things that will stand up to sitting around. Fruit or fruit salad is a nice counterpoint to rich foods, and I am also a sucker for Belgian waffles!

I've just been diagnosed with diabetes. Shall I kill myself?

Absolutely not! You can eat almost anything by watching carbs and combining foods using the glycemic index and close monitoring! It is wide extremes in blood sugar that are damaging, so you want to keep your blood sugar as stable as possible.My husband has Type 2 diabetes and we use the Joslin Diabetes site as a resource.
Warning: Don't go overboard on foods with sugar alcohol though they are a delicious sugar substitute- for the majority of people, too much sugar alcohol can cause cramping(sometimes severe) and gas(then people will want to kill you!)

Now At Krispy Kreme: Hot Fresh Whole Wheat Doughnuts

Okay- if you are eating Krispy Kreme are you really looking for healthy?!However, given that it probably doesn't affect taste or texture that much, what's the harm in adding a little nutritional value!

Improving School Lunches

What a great idea! Kids love eating produce they grow themselves, and learning about the growing cycle, the responsibilty of caring for and nurturing something combined with the opportunity to eat what they sow... it's a winner! I am going to suggest this at a couple of local schools as a fun project.

Potato-Chip Connoisseur

Before Pringles, before Munchos, there were Chipnics, a "chip" that was made from potato mush. If I could find an unopened bag, I would be sorely tempted to eat them. Maybe its nostalgia or maybe they were just a novelty then but I remember them being really great!

Chinese New Year Eats

In our house, Chinese New Year is celebrated on December 31 with a feast of chinese dishes (it was a diabolical way to get newly-legal kids to stay safely home on New Year's Eve!). While it is time-consuming (mostly the prep work) to make chinese food, it is fun and you can make sure you have lots of leftovers to eat through the week!

Rachael Ray - love, hate, ignore, pity, envy?

I love that she has opened a lot of minds to the possibilities of making a real meal even for two-career couples and working moms. I think she is in danger of being over-exposed, but I like her magazine too!

The Power of Food Blogging

In activity to the inquire into of whether or not accepting freebies compromises journalistic integrity, I rest assured de facto depends. In this essay, Adam is strikingly not giving Le Cirque a lambent review. To me, this legend appears uncompromising; Adam hackneyed the free lunch meal, yet placid told us what was on his mind.

Morning-After Cranberry Sauce Muffins

@GuaranteedGF: You could use gluten-free flour no? I trade that for regular flour all the time!

Does any one have a suggestion for how to make the muffin recipe in to a bread loaf? I don't have a muffin pan, but I do have a TON of cranberry sauce!

Anthony Bourdain Reviews the Food Network Lineup

I like everyone. My favorite has to be Bourdain. Least would have to be Rachael Ray, she can get a bit overwhelming at times, I don't like some of her cutsie talk (sammies, EVOO, ect.) that giggle, these can get a bit old. I enjoy watching Paula Deen except her "party program"......Man, what is she on? She screams, kackles and flirts, she is just a little to "in your face". Y'ALL

Your Kitchen Needs to Lose Weight

I buy things to USE them in the kitchen, not to have them all shiny and decorative. My favorite pots look a little battle-scarred and I don't care.

On the other hand, I've been sorting through stuff and getting rid of things I'll never use. There are plenty of things that I only use seasonally -- like holiday stuff -- that I'm not getting rid of. But really, if I only use ONE vegetable peeler, I don't need three of them.

And meanwhile, I've found things in the dark corners of corner cabinets that I probably will start to use now that they've seen daylight again. Mostly serving dishes.

Carmelizing onions! What to eat them with?

One more variation...after the onions are pretty well carmelized, I add red wine (about a half bottle for 2-3 onions) slowly...about a 1/4 cup at a time...and let it reduce to a syrupy consistency and then add the next 1/4 cup. The end result is a wine-infused batch of carmelized oninions that while exquisite with beef or lamb, are equally at home on a pizza or my favorite - tossed with a bunch of lightly steamed green beans/haricots verts. Enjoy!

Nacho Cheese Fountain

I do not know how I feel about this. I know that cheese melts, but that is flowing a little too smoothly for my taste.

Carmelizing onions! What to eat them with?

I just used some in my "scalloped potatoes" (since I needed them dairy-free, i was looking for something to add extra flavour), it turned out incredible. Like Ed said, they make everything taste better, from a sandwich to a vegetarian dish to virtually any meat course!

What to do with 24 leftover egg yolks?

Cocktails! There are a whole slew of vintage-style recipes known variously as the Mae West, Jungle Fire, and who knows what all else made with variations on the theme of brandy, egg yolk, sugar, pinch of cayenne - shake and serve up. Tastes like a delicious, alcoholic, drinkable custard.

Carmelizing onions! What to eat them with?

Caramelized onions are the vegetarian equivalent of bacon. They make anything taste good: burgers, roast beef sandwiches, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, on top of a toasted english muffin with bacon and melted cheddar cheese, or just eat them straight up like candy.

Carmelizing onions! What to eat them with?

I just made a caramelized onion and cheese tart this weekend. Take a sheet of puff pastry, about 11x17(?), I buy sheets that are already rolled out. Score a 3/4" border from the edge, prick the inside in several places with a fork. Top with your caramelized onions and some torn up Tallegio cheese, and sprinkle with some chopped thyme. Brush the edge of the pastry with melted butter, and bake at 425F for 20-30 minutes, until the edge is puffed and brown and the cheese is melted.
I have also done this with caramelized red onions and parmesan cheese.

Here's an idea: http://www.bitchincamero.com/mel/?p=132

I caramelized a little differently (to save calories), but the serving suggestions is the same.
