The First Thing I Ever Cooked: Buttermilk Pancakes (Gluten-Free Adaptable)
Shauna – aka Gluten-Free Girl – tweeted over the weekend about a fun project she thought up for today. She invited food bloggers anywhere and everywhere to post about The First Thing They Ever Cooked. When I saw her tweet, I smiled and sent myself a reminder email titled, “Buttermilk Pancakes!” (That’s what I do…
Potato-Asparagus Frittata
You’re home from work, tired, starving, needing something warm and nourishing. Don’t forget about eggs, a staple in our kitchen, showing up for lunch and dinner as often as for breakfast. We poach, fry, flip, boil, and scramble them into any number of our favorite dishes, included this easy, delicious frittata. Basically an open-faced omelet,…
Gilding a BLT
Have you seen the movie Spanglish? It’s not a terrible movie, especially given The Sandwich – a scene-stealer, developed by French Laundry Chef Thomas Keller. Basically a BLT, with the sumptuous addition of melted cheese and a fried egg. Adam Sandler’s character lovingly prepares it all, step-by-step, then pours himself a tall, cold beer to…
Strawberries
Locally-grown strawberries are all over the Twin Cities’ farmer’s markets right now so get thee out to partake. They’re naughty good, except not naughty. Very few experiences in life can claim the same. Indulge freely as is or with a little cream (ooh). If you’re in the mood to bake, try Strawberry Shortcakes, Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie,…
Farmer’s Market Potato Salad
This salad – Potato Salad with Morels, Asparagus & Basil Vinaigrette – hails from the fantastic blog, Gluten-Free Girl and The Chef. Potatoes with morels, a killer combination, right? (Anything with morels…) I noticed right away that the recipe is wonderfully adaptable to whatever is in season, so when I spotted the first batch of…
Hearty Summer Soup
Asparagus is at its peak right now – don’t miss it! Grilled, roasted, blanched…all fabulous, but make sure to save a bunch for this lovely soup. (Or for this potato-asparagus frittata, which I posted last week.) Here’s a simple, flavorful soup that makes delicious use of spring and summer produce. In this version I include…
An Early Summer Night’s Dream
Here’s the perfect way to kick off summer: Get yourself invited to Debbie & Stu the Wine Genius Williams’ home for dinner. There is no lovelier place to be on a first-summer’s-blush evening, on the patio in their lush back yard, chatting with them as well as Sue & Louis Ainsworth, sipping incredible wine, eating…
Fettucine Alfredo That Won’t Kill You
My son is a big fettucine alfredo fan. Restaurant versions are terrifyingly caloric, unnecessarily soaked in cups of cream and cheese, some even enriched with egg yolks. I’ve come up with a not-so-over-the-top version for him that I actually prefer. I use real cream, but not too much. A little goes a long way. Nathan…
Grilled Salmon with Avocado, Egg, Greens, & Mustard Vinaigrette
As I’ve complained before, it’s hard to find good salmon in Minnesota. I know, we’re in the middle of the country, about as far from any ocean as you can get in North America. It’s an unimportant problem. My not-terribly-local solution is that I buy wild salmon filets online from VitalChoice, the king salmon to…
A Sweet Spoonful’s Strawberry Ice Cream
Remember when I wrote about the mind-blowing experience I had at the Penny De Los Santos food photography workshop I attended in March? The reasons were many and varied, namely the San Francisco sunshine, Contigo’s gorgeous food, a hundred million great ideas from Penny, pushing way out of my comfort zone, and meeting three unbelievably…
