Worst Cooks in America show
Comments (9)Sadly, I know people in real life who cook very similar stuff. My mother-in-law could not even make herself a cup of tea. My hubby's father was the cook in their house, even though he was more of a "heat it up from a box or can" kind of cook. My hubby never learned to cook for himself because the family never really cooked - just re-heated. When we started dating, he thought I was Julia Child in the flesh because I learned to cook at a very early age from my grandmother, who lived on a farm all her life, raised 12 children, and made everything from scratch, even her butter, cheese and crackers. She was also a world-class, self-taught pastry chef. Needless to say, the hubby has been very spoiled by eating mine and my famiy's food in the 33 trs we've been married....See MoreWhat was/will be your guilty pleasure item?
Comments (93)Quartz countertops. Bookshelves for cookbooks. As wide an induction oven as my layout will allow me! The other thing is... the contractor has in our contract that I'll be getting a stainless steel double sink. I'm going to be changing this -- it would look terrible with a log exterior, medium wood finished cabinets, black major appliances, aged bronze fixtures and pulls, sage green interior walls, white (eco luna white) or green (silestone olive green) quartz countertops. It would be cheaper to just grin and bear it, but I'll hate it....See MoreAnyone else a cinnamon heart candy fan?
Comments (16)Do you have an Amish market nearby? Our Amish market has a huge bulk candy department with all kinds of old-fashioned/childhood treats. They usually have different candies for whatever holiday is in season. I haven't been there in a while but usually shop there if I'm baking and need candies for decoration. I've never looked for heart shaped cinnamon imperials so not sure if ours typically as them for Valentine's Day tho they do have the round kind which I use at Christmas time. Hope you can find some....See MoreEasy wine snacks to pull out of the fridge and pantry . . . ?
Comments (30)I figured out a way to use my strawberry cranberry jam--it turned out good on a graham cracker spread with Hershey's chocolate spread and then the jam on top of that. Good with one of our favorite wines, "Old Vin Zin" (fandel). It was a very good taste combination, the chocolate and the cranberry and the wine counterbalanced each other. I don't think that "charcuterie" is for wine tasting per se because yes, you are not going to really be able to "taste" the wine if you pair it with other strongly flavored things. But I like to drink wine with food too. I think any type of snack with wine is for sitting and enjoying both wine and food. And if you are winos and foodies like we are, you are going to want to do that a LOT, and not just with friends. So what I was thinking of is little easy peasy wine snacks that aren't necessarily formal of fussy and can easily be put together when the mood strikes. Could also work really with cocktails. We just came back from two days at a beach town. Alcohol and small bites "al fresco" are big right now. People don't want to be inside anymore in the summer. Honestly, unless it is cold and rainy, I am totally on board with this trend!! It could just as easily be called "tapas" I guess, although for me, tapas is something a little more involved. The best foods I found from our meager samplings were plain stuff but with high quality ingredients and simply prepared. We had some deep fried breaded portabella mushrooms strips which were excellent. Just a simple take on the bar standard of deep friend mushrooms, but with the more flavorful portabellas and a home made breading so not the salty, soggy cloying stuff that is basically thawed from the freezer and fried at most bars. I won't be making that at home any time soon, although I might give my marinated mushroom salad another try. I had it once at a restaurant salad bar and liked it so much I got the recipe. But that's not really a "poof" or "poop" (pantry) kind of thing, but definitely a good tapas food, anything with mushrooms. I used to keep the phyllo cups in the freezer. I maybe can again, but right now gonna have to put on hold as I am desperately trying to clear out our freezer so I can clean it before I have to fill it with summer harvest things . . . Those phyllo cups make any type of thing taste gourmet. I used to make jam tarts with them all the time . . . absolutely a poof item since they do not hold up well once filled, they get soggy. I once served them at a party filled with store bought spinach dip and topped with a sliced water chestnut and I got raves. No one at the party had ever thought of that before . . ....See Moresushipup1
