Pulled Pork with Honey-Cider BBQ Sauce

February 9, 2010

Over the holidays I tried and loved Crispin Hard Cider for the first time.  After reading my unsolicited review and learning of my disappointment that it is not distributed in New England (yet) they kindly sent me some samples.  For those who may have missed my previous review, Crispin makes super-premium natural hard cider.  It [...]

Baked Sweet Potato Falafel Wrap

January 13, 2010

I love the Internet because it makes discovering new recipes so much easier.  What’s even more fun, is it sometimes feels like a game of telephone as bloggers make the same recipe in their kitchens and add different spins and adaptations and those recipes become passed on and adapted.  Such is the case with today’s [...]

Lightened Tortilla and Butternut Squash Soup

January 5, 2010

When meandering around the blogosphere it’s hard to avoid the signs that it’s time to choose a New Year’s Resolution.  To many, this tradition can become clique or even, dreaded.  I personally love it because it’s a time to start anew and reach for your goals.  Each December I look forward to crafting my list, [...]

Lamb Shanks Braised with Tomato

December 8, 2009

We may have had some unseasonably warm afternoons around Boston this fall/winter, but in the past few days the temperature has been tiptoeing around freezing.  Accordingly, my cravings have shifted.  Visions of cassoulets, stews, and the often overlooked hotdish (or casserole for those not hailing from Minnesota) dance in my head.  These cozy favorites make the [...]

Delicata Squash and Parsnip Baked Pasta

November 23, 2009

Tis’ the season for pumpkin and squash recipes around the blogosphere.  Shannon’s Savory Pumpkin Bread Pudding was a hit at the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival, Jen’s Spicy Pumpkin and Peanut Curry reminds me of my favorite Tibetan dish, and Hannah’s Delicata Panna Cottas demonstrate that pumpkin isn’t the only winter squash that can get a sweet [...]

Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Enchiladas with Spicy Pumpkin Sauce

October 27, 2009

I have a confession to make and one I hope won’t get me kicked out of the food blogging community.  I’m not much for pumpkin sweets.  I feel like a bit of a killjoy this time of year when everyone I know seems to be excited about the reappearance of pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pies, pumpkin oats, [...]

101 Cookbooks’ Roasted Corn Pudding in Acorn Squash

October 19, 2009

As I was planning my meals for the week I realized that although I’ve long been a reader of 101 Cookbooks, I’ve never actually made one of Heidi Swanson’s recipes.  Crazy I know.  There’s only so much time in the world so even though I’m a passionate blog reader I’m not getting to make as [...]

Spaghetti squash stands in for pasta

October 16, 2009

I have mixed feelings about foods that try to masquerade as a stand in for something else.  For the most part I openly embrace them as long as the resulting creation still packs tons of flavor (though it doesn’t necessarily need to replicate the flavor of the original perfectly).  I love Greek yogurt as a stand-in [...]

Weekend Eats

October 10, 2009

 
I hope everyone is enjoying a restful weekend.  Mine so far has been quite low key, which after a typically hectic week I especially appreciated.  This afternoon my boyfriend and I decided to embrace what might be one of our last semi-warm days of the fall by having a picnic.  We visited our favorite gourmet [...]

Blogger Secret Ingredient Chocolate Goes Savory

September 11, 2009

Oh kitchen, how I’ve missed you.  Between craziness at my full time job and prepping for and teaching my night course (which went MUCH better this week, btw) I was a stranger in my own kitchen this week.  It saw little more action than me making sandwiches for lunch and dinner (and not the complex [...]
