What’s to Celebrate on Moldy Cheese Day?

Posted By on Oct 9, 2013 in Appetizers, Featured, Hors D'Oeuvres | 0 comments

“National Moldy Cheese Day?,” you may be thinking… I enjoy a piece of aged or moldy cheese, that’s for sure. If you find a piece of cheese covered in mold, don’t throw it out. It is still edible. A sharp knife will remove that thin layer of mold. With a paper towel, remove any sticking to the outside. Underneath the cheese is perfectly tasty. Popular mold cheeses are blue cheese, Gorgonzola, Cambozola,...

National Vodka Day & How to Make Black Pepper Vodka

Posted By on Oct 4, 2013 in Adult Recipes, Eastern European Food, Ethnic Foods, Featured, How To Cook | 0 comments

Happy National Vodka Day – oh, the possibilities. Although vodka looks deceptively like plain water, it is actually a neutral type of spirit distilled from grain. Generally used is wheat or barley, occasionally corn or rye, and sometimes potatoes, beets or grapes. Vodka is a good cocktail mixer, as it doesn’t have a strong flavor, and won’t change a cocktail’s taste. There are more and more flavored vodkas...

The best part, to me, about Mexican food is the guacamole! There may always be enough rice & beans, but there’s never enough guacamole! ~ Ingrid Turner This recipe for my Guapa Guacamole is very simple to make, is extremely tasty and works with your taste preferences. “Guapa” in Spanish means “lovely”, and this is surely just that… Lovely with warm tortilla chips straight from the oven or the...

As I was searching my brain for something to make for a sweet treat tonight, I thought of making some cookies. Oatmeal raisin crossed my mind, as did chocolate chip cookies, maybe with a bit of oatmeal in them even. However, then a grand idea hit me for a really interesting and unique option for cookies that I’ve never heard of myself, nor tried making before… I have a lot of different flavored bread crumbs in my pantry...

This is one of our favorite Kasper family recipes…In fact, it’s the first recipe I learned to make on my own when I moved away from home. We don’t really eat the small, fluffy pancakes most families eat. We called these big, thin delights “pancakes”…our style of pancakes. Golden and delicious, these beautiful crepes can be eaten for breakfast, brunch or dinner, if desired. Try...

I’m not a crazy fan of breakfast for the most part…So, when I endeavor to eat or make breaky, it has to be an awesome dish to spark my mind & taste buds in the morning. This recipe is adapted from one I saw Gordon Ramsay do in his own home for his wife’s brunch in bed. You don’t know what you’re missing, if you haven’t had this “grown-up”, gourmet version of scrambled eggs. Try it,...

How to Guarantee You Get Fresh French Fries at McDonald’s

Posted By on Jan 19, 2012 in American Food Recipes, Side Dishes | 0 comments

I must admit, even though I’m a serious foodie and love to cook at home, there are those odd times I crave McDonald’s French fries. However, isn’t it such a disappointment and a waste of calories when the fries you’ve been craving turn out to be cold, soggy, or too salty…whatever the case may be. If I’m going to waste those calories, I want to be sure I get exactly what I want every single time. The...

Exciting Ideas on How to Crust Meat with Crumbs

Posted By on Jul 4, 2011 in Cooking Tips & Tricks | 0 comments

I often get bored of using the same old bread crumbs. So, I simply don’t! I will often use different kinds of bread, toast it and pulverize it into crumbs. Try using rye bread, wheat breads, different grain breads. I also love using different kinds of chips and crackers for an exciting new crust on meats and special vegetables such as for Eggplant Parmesan. Try using potato chips, tortilla chips, or pulverized crackers like...

Posted By on May 11, 2009 in Appetizers | 0 comments

I’ve had a few of the flavors from New York Flatbreads before, which are numerous, like Sesame Seed… I love them. I think they’re very versatile for dips, oysters, chutneys, cheese…the possibilities are endless…LOL However, I have heard from a few people they think the flatbreads are bland…unexciting…too dry! The Pumpernickel Everything flavor will knock your socks off, even the skeptics! I...
