Citronette A Classic Lemon Dressing Video Recipe as performed by an Over Emoting Chef
This citronette video recipe was filmed last fall, and was one of the first clips I produced for About.com. It just went live a few days ago, so Im posting it today with a couple of warnings. When I filmed this, cherry tomatoes were at their peak of sweet deliciousness. They made a fine garnish for my asparagus with lemon dressing. Right now that probably isnt the case.The other thing I will give you a heads-up about is my presentation....

Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies Recipe with Pecan Meal
A rich, gluten-free chocolate brownie with pecan flour.Everyone needs a rich decadent brownie treat now and then. Especially if you wake up to snow and ice and no electricity.

Wait.I've been deep in denial, I admit it. I've been distracting...

Fisherman’s Pie – The Deadliest Casserole
I’ve never been a huge fan of the fisherman reality shows like Wicked Tuna and Deadliest Catch. Seems like every situation that comes up, no matter how mundane, is made to look like a matter of life and death. Sure it’s relatively dangerous compared to selling shoes, but they’re mostly just fishing in crappy weather.Riveting slip and falls notwithstanding, I think the real challenge in that environment would be trying to cook...

Knock Knock!
I saw this recipe for Knock-up Fruit Cake on Meandering Through My Cookbook, a blog by Hopeeternal. It sounded like my kind of recipe i.e. basic recipe plus whatever happens to be in your cupboard, which for anyone who has read my blog for a while will know is pretty much how I cook!The recipe was easy to follow and created a similar result to the picture on the blog, but I have to say that it did not keep particularly well. ...

Pickled Grilled Vegetables – Now Why Didnt I Think of That
This pickled grilled vegetables technique was my favorite new discovery on the Kingsford University trip. Its quite a simple, and seemingly obvious trick, yet it never occurred to me. Its times like these when Im faced with the tragic realization that Im not as smart and creative as I think I am.Basically, small pickling cucumbers (which Ive always called, "pickles," even if they aren’t pickled yet, just to be confusing), as well...

SHRIMP MUSHROOM AND SPINACH FRY
This dish was a product of my refrigerator cleaning spree. I threw in some leftover button mushrooms and baby spinach lying in fridge into the shrimp curry which I make very often. This version was good and somehow it turned healthier too :) Here I added the shrimp, mushrooms, and spinach together to give the dish a saucy consistency instead of a dry dish. For a different version of the dish, the spinach can be added in the...

Carouby De Maussane Snow Peas
Step aside, Mammoth Melting. Heres an even bigger snow pea. Carouby de Maussane is a snow pea originally from Maussane, in the south of France, grown as far back as the 19th century. While I still think Mammoth Melting is a geat pea, we seem to have switched to Carouby de Maussane, which has a few advantages over it. The pods are extremely tender and can get very large yet still be good quality. I did leave that one stretched...

Chicken D’Arduini – Italian Home Cooking at its Best!

New Quinoa Bars Recipe Blondie Style
Our new favorite quinoa bar with almond meal, lots of good vanilla and dark chocolate chips.The turn of the year's wheel inevitably stirs up ghosts. Last night we walked after dinner. Slowly, in a warm breeze, curled paper leaves scuttling the uneven side walk. Something in the air reminded me of New Mexico. And I remembered a day we drove to Taos, just to get out of our heads and escape the particular tunneling isolation of the...

Living Without Our Daily Bread How to Go Gluten Free for Celiac Awareness Month
May is celiac disease awareness month.Living Without Our Daily Breadby Karina AllrichSince the birth of agriculture- when our ancestors began to cultivate and harvest grains- human beings have cherished bread. It was a minor miracle, this almost magical transformation of grain into dough. Bread became the staff of life, a daily source of nourishment, symbolic of spiritual renewal.But what if bread was suddenly poison? What if...
