Baked Eggs with Herbs & Crispy Prosciutto
I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine. If you’ll have a housefull of guests this coming holiday weekend, keep this easy eggs-for-a-crowd dish in mind. For Turkey Day ideas, see Herb-Roasted Turkey & Gravy and Brussels Salad with Pancetta & Cranberries. Yay for Thanksgiving! An egg baked in…
I’m Thankful for…the Internet
Here’s a little pre-Thanksgiving What I’m Thankful for List, Internet Version. And a thought – I wouldn’t have met any of these lovely people without this blog or Twitter. That blows my mind. The picture above is a group of local food blogging ladies. We all met for dinner a few weeks ago and had…
Hint-of-Sweet Pumpkin Custard
As I’ve mentioned, I’m trying to eat as little sugar as possible. So far, so good, although I absolutely love pumpkin pie and didn’t want to miss out this holiday season. Since pumpkin itself is quite nutritious, I decided to experiment with a classic, cream-based pumpkin filling (the best kind, in my opinion) and see…
Beatty’s Chocolate Cake
Behold, the first cake I’ve baked since giving up gluten. I baked it for John’s office’s annual United Way bake sale – which I contribute to every year – so it’s not like I was going to eat it anyhow (and therefore couldn’t cut into it for pics, sorry). But not eating it because it’s…
Beef Braised in Coconut Milk
I’ve always been a coconut fiend, but I am having a particular moment with coconut milk this fall. I’m pretty much obsessed with it. Some will caution against coconut milk’s saturated fat content, but worry not – the short- and medium-chain fatty acids in coconut milk are great for you. And oh my goodness the…
Grainless Sunflower Sesame Crackers
These homemade crackers couldn’t be easier or faster to make. Who knew that nothing but seeds, water, and salt could make such a lovely, crisp cracker? These have an intense and rich sesame taste, which I love, and which is particularly delicious with savory and cheese spreads. I’m particularly enjoying them with cottage cheese for…
Using Creme Fraiche Part IV: Celery Root & Leek Soup
You might have passed right by celery root (also known as celeriac) at the store, thinking it looked anything but edible. I admit, it freaked me out the first time I shopped for it, but I trusted the description I’d read (pleasantly mild celery taste, texture similar to a potato, overall effect of savory, delicious…
Abigail and Arthur’s Kale Salad
I first wrote about this recipe a few weeks ago when I described our trip to San Francisco. My friend Maud’s brother Arthur made a delicious kale salad for us, and I couldn’t wait to make it at home and post it for you. In the process of raving about it on Facebook, I found…
Using Creme Fraiche Part III: Amanda Hesser’s Lemon Chicken (with Walnut Green Beans)
OK, assuming that you used about 1/2 cup total of creme fraiche for Part I: Softly Scrambled Eggs and Part II: Sauteed Apple with Honey, you should be all set to finish off the container with this dish. And if not – who cares? This chicken is so obscenely delicious that it would totally be…
This Week I’m Reading…
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I quit eating gluten (after noticing that when I ate wheat products, I would suffer terrible heartburn, stomach cramps, and water retention). I immediately – and dramatically – felt better. I’m not interested in replacing pasta and bread with a bunch of gluten-free packaged products – they’re expensive,…
