Yes, you read that right – I’m slow cooking mountain goat meat. As I found out when I made carne asada, mountain goat is so tough it’s practically inedible unless made into sausages or cooked in a Crockpot. So for this month’s Secret Recipe Club recipe I went to Jen from Bean Town Baker’s blog [...]
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hosting the Hunt’s Dinner Sauces Supper Club event at Mise En Place in Denver for a group of local food and mom bloggers. I demoed two recipes for the group, Southwest Stuffed Peppers and Chicken Cacciatore for Pasta (recipe below), to show how easy it is to [...]
This month’s Secret Recipe Club recipe comes courtesy of Tea and Scones and not a minute to soon. The late summer harvest from our garden is coming in. I had several very large zucchinis and was stuck on what I wanted to do with them. Should I made ratatouille? Stuff them? Try making some gluten [...]
According to the 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet, 25.8 million children and adults in the United States — 8.3% of the population — have diabetes. Out of these 7.0 million people are undiagnosed. Also, 79 million people are prediabetic, meaning their blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to [...]
For my second post in my American Express Blue Cash® Preferred and Everyday cards Blue Cash Dinner@6 $600 giveaway I’ve chosen a fish dish. After I made it, I realized it’s a bit like the Chicken with Feta and Sundried Tomatoes recipe I made last time. Not only does this fish dish contain six ingredients, it [...]
When it comes to feeding their families, moms want to put nutritious and delicious meals on the table fast. They don’t want to deal with a long list of ingredients, but want something they can quickly put together. That’s why I’ve partnered with American Express Blue Cash® Preferred and Everyday cards to run a Blue [...]
This month’s Secret Recipe Club comes from The Pretend Chef. In her post about her Chicken Piccata recipe, she shares a sweet story about when her son, “Itty Bitty” was little and she and her husband, “Mr. Sideline Chef” were living at a motel in Washington where he worked. After discovering the recipe in the [...]
I’ve been experimenting with using NAKANO Rice Vinegars and Holland House vinegars in much of my every day cooking. Not only am I trying different types of vinegar on salads, but I’ve also used it on warm vegetable dishes like stir fry and sautéed vegetables. So when I spotted the gorgeous bunches of rainbow chard [...]
My husband recently came back from yet another Mexican fishing trip. What am I going to do with all this fish I wondered? (You should have my problems, I know.) I decided to grill up a couple of wahoo fillets. Wahoo is related to mackerel and is called “ono” in Hawaii and “peto” in the [...]
Even though it’s been cool and rainy here in Colorado, I’m reminded it’s spring every time I walk into the supermarket. Right out in front my grocer has set up a large produce table packed with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. I’m lucky that we grow our own berries in our backyard – mostly raspberries and [...]
For this month’s Secret Recipe Club post, I was assigned Healthy Green Kitchen. (Want to join the Secret Recipe Club? Sign up here!) Since Winnie and I have a similar food philosophy – healthy, simple, gluten free and “eco-groovy” (love that term) – I thought this would be an easy assignment. Well, that’s not exactly [...]
After a fun week at the Grand Canyon (more on that soon) I’ve come back with a cough I cannot shake and the desire to stay in bed watching The Tudors. Luckily for us, Holly Clegg has stopped by with a guest post about Easter dining. Easter table must have asparagus The true sign of [...]
I came across the best recipe and method for a classic roast chicken in the March 2011 issue of Cooking Light magazine – How to Roast a Whole Chicken. The seasoning and flavor were perfect. Also, the method of roasting the chicken for 45 minutes at 350 degrees and the rest of the time at [...]
Due to my food sensitivities, I make a lot of rice. One of my favorite things to do with leftover rice is to make rice pudding for breakfast. My “secret” is adding an egg to make it more custard like and to add some protein to a carb heavy dish. I used to make this [...]
