Meatless Monday: Huaraches with Cheese, Mushrooms, and Poblanos

November 28, 2011

Depending on your viewpoint, working in downtown Chicago can be described as delicious or dangerous. I’m of course, referring to all the lunch options that abound just outside my door. Back when I lived in Massachusetts, I worked for four years in a tiny town on the North Shore called Wenham.  Our office itself was [...]

Blueberry-Almond Biscotti

November 25, 2011

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone. I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday full of loved ones and good food. I made my usual trek to Minnesota to spend the holiday with my mother’s side of the family at my parents’ house.  Because I live the furthest from my family, I’ve never hosted the holidays and usually [...]

Banana Split Cookies

November 23, 2011

I love taking something that’s already good and making it better.  There is something satisfying, for me, about looking at recipes as if they are always in beta, with things that can be tweaked or improved.  I’m notorious for rarely making a recipe the same way twice so I always feel like I’m experimenting and [...]

Processed vs. Natural Cheese, a Tasting

November 21, 2011

Blogging is full of so many I never thought I’d do _________ moments. It’s one of the things I love about it. It’s introduced me to new recipes, experiences and people that I’ve never had the opportunity to come across otherwise.  As I mentioned last week, it’s easy to get distracted and forget about why [...]

Two Stratas

November 16, 2011

I’m kind of embarrassed that as of yesterday, I’ve been at my current company three months and haven’t yet mentioned how awesome my co-workers are.  Before I started my job I was fortunate enough to meet a few of them through a good friend who already worked there.  Because of this I had a hunch [...]

Candy Cap Mushroom Sponge Candy

November 13, 2011

I’m always up for a cooking contest, especially if it challenges me to work with an ingredient that is unfamiliar to me. So I was very excited when Marx Foods announced their The Sweeter Side of Mushrooms: A Candy Cap Recipe Contest. As participants, we were tasked with creating a recipe with these unique mushrooms.

Highlights from the Foodbuzz Festival 2011

November 10, 2011

Now that I’ve settled back into life as usual it seemed like a recap of this year’s Foodbuzz Festival was in order.  After missing last year’s festival, I was thrilled to be able to go again, this year as the guest of Alaska Seafood. Before the festivities officially started I did a little sightseeing in [...]

Not at All Wordless Wednesday

November 9, 2011

Like cheese? Don’t forget to check out my fun giveaway from Il de France going on through Monday, November 14 at 11:59 pm. I had originally intended for this to be a Wordless Wednesday post. But being a verbose, often chatty person, that concept doesn’t work out well for me.  So instead I offer up [...]
