One of the benefits of being a food blogger is that I get to try out – and fall in love with – products I wouldn’t normally have the chance to try. That’s certainly the case with Holland House cooking wines! That’s why I’m giving away a starter kit of three bottles of Holland House [...]

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve signed up once again to be a brand ambassador for NAKANO and Holland House. It’s my third year working with these awesome products and their parent company, Mizkan. One of my duties is to let you know when they’re running a special promotion or contest, like NAKANO’s Splash Shootout [...]
On the Udi’s Gluten Free Community website, one of the naturally gluten free foods my fellow community leaders and I like to recommend to members is quinoa. It’s a terrific source of vegetarian protein, too. However, lately I’ve noticed that my kids don’t like it all that much. In fact, they tell me quinoa tastes [...]
Here’s how I usually make roasted vegetables – combine root veggies, olive oil, salt and pepper and some seasonings and cook until done. Since we were having company last week, I wanted to try something new and this recipe from Mizkan caught my eye. I’ve had much experience marinating meats, but have never tried it [...]
While I love how easy it is to use premade World Harbors marinades for Smoked Beer Can Chicken, there’s something to be said for making your own marinade. First, you can control what goes into it, so if you have a food sensitivity you don’t need to worry about anything making you ill. Second, making [...]
Do you have a favorite crock pot shredded pork recipe? I bet that you make it with barbecue sauce! How about cooking up some shredded pork with a Sherry-Orange Dijon Sauce with Holland House® Sherry Cooking Wine instead? I made this for Christmas dinner and served it over brown rice – delicious! I loved combining [...]
I wanted to make a Southern style Thanksgiving this year, so of course collard greens had to be part of the meal. While it’s a great dish for holiday meals, you can make collard greens any time of year, from fancy sit down dinners to backyard barbeque parties. Usually, collard greens are made with a [...]
I love using World Harbors premade marinades when grilling steak or fish or making Beer Can Chicken, but was always frustrated when I had a shelf of half-used up bottles in the refrigerator. So I started to experiment and realized that World Harbors can also be turned into great dips! You don’t have to use [...]
I’ve decided to serve a southern style Thanksgiving this year. Well, what could be more southern than okra pickles? Even better, this recipe gives me a chance to use Holland House’s White Wine Vinegar along with several spices that have been crowding my cupboards for years. This is also a great recipe for those who [...]
One of my family’s favorite summer time appetizers is Caprese. Sometimes I think that we grow basil and tomatoes just to have this dish. Traditionally it’s made with red wine vinegar, but I enjoy it with Nakano Rice Vinegar, which I find has a lighter taste and doesn’t overpower the basil, cheese and tomatoes. This [...]
You’ve heard of beer can chicken, right? You know, the recipe when you shove a can of beer up a chicken’s backside and grill it? Well, if you have a smoker, a few tools and World Harbors premade marinades, it’s even easier. First, you need a smoker. I use a Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker. (You [...]
I’ve always used NAKANO Rice Vinegar to make sushi rice. However, now that I’ve become more familiar with their products, I use their rice vinegar in any recipe that calls for other types of vinegars. For example, this summer, we’ve been making a lot of salads, so I’ve been making salad dressing with NAKANO Rice [...]
It’s been over a month since I’ve been back from Hawaii. I still miss the food, especially the fish dishes. I bought two wonderful cookbooks to see if I could replicate some of the recipes, but so many Hawaiian ingredients aren’t available on the mainland or the dishes were too complicated for a quick weekday [...]
I’m crazy about balsamic vinegar reduction as a sauce on anything from roasted vegetables to fish. Drizzling it on food makes an ordinary dish burst with flavor and adds a little elegance to boot. Plus, it’s so easy to make. In this recipe, I used Holland House balsamic vinegar, brought it to a boil on [...]
Are you a fan of the Meal Makeover Moms? If so you may want to enter the Holland House/Meal Makeover Moms Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes is running through the beginning of June. Each month, one fan will be chosen to receive a meal makeover from the Meal Makeover Moms. The first drawing took place in April, [...]
The problem with making roast beef is figuring out what to do with the leftovers, since reheating overcooks and dries out the meat. Sure, you could thinly slice the roast beef for sandwiches. But my favorite way of eating leftover roast beef (or venison) is cold and in a salad. You can either thinly slice [...]
