Four Birds, One Stone (Rye-Fennel Crackerbread)


Posted by Susan Tenney on Just Baking.
The birds, from my mental To-Try list:

A flatbread
More rye bread
A bread that doesn’t take all day (or longer) to make
A recipe from Daniel Leader’s new book, Local Breads

And the stone:

Leader’s Rye-Fennel Crackerbread from far northern Italy was absolutely painless to make, a real treat to eat, and a welcome […]

Original Snaps: A Bad Snap Decision


Posted by Rosa Li on Sugar Savvy.

I spotted this bag on a candy display in Michael’s. I’d never seen them before, so I thought Snaps would be a great review candidate, even though I couldn’t tell exactly what they were. Since the store was closing and the cashiers were shutting down their stations, I was […]

Sweet Cream Tea


Posted by Alicia de los Reyes on A Nice Cuppa.
With summer winding up and the cool weather fast approaching, I’d say there’s just enough light left in the evening to make a batch of tea-flavored ice cream. I came across a recipe for tea-flavored ice cream in BHG magazine. It’s got an interesting base–evaporated milk […]

Why Johnny Can’t Eat

How Eco-illiteracy is Affecting America’s Children
But Johnny can’t read. Summer is over and he’s gone to seed
You know that Johnny can’t read. He never learned nothin’ that he’ll ever need.
- Don Henley
Years ago a study titled “Why Johnny Can’t Read” raised public awareness of illiteracy. Every day I […]

Cedar Planked Scallops


Posted by Curt McAdams on Get Your Grill On.
I like to grill things that show off the flavors of the food, not just the flavors of the rubs and sauces. Really good ingredients don’t always need to be covered up with added flavors; they do better with just enhancing with spice.
A great example of this […]

Crazy for Spanish Wines: Tempranillo Meets Toro


Posted by Frank Haddad and Susan M Boyce on Wine Sediments.
We have both been busy lately – a little too busy actually and, regretfully, not much of it to do with wine. The wine shelves are almost bare, dirty laundry piling up, and unanswered emails clogging our inboxes.
However, somewhere in the blur that has been […]

In The Land of Chewandswallow


Posted by Erika Waz on Kids Cuisine.

It was my 3-and-a-half year old son who suggested spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and it was my newly-crowned 7-year-old who suggested we use the recipe from her new cookbook for dinner. I wasn’t about to argue when the two of them agreed on something for dinner and appeared […]

Scallops, Scampi-Style


Posted by Cate O’Malley on Fit Fare.
Low-fat, low in calories and cholesterol, and a great boost of vitamin B12 … what more could you want in a simple Summer supper? Just watch the scallops, because cooking them too long makes all the difference between a tender tasty morsel and one that’s hard as rubber.
Scallops, […]

Tibetan Butter Tea


Posted by Ron Pulicari on A Nice Cuppa.
Butter Tea or Po Cha is a staple of Tibetan life. Several cups or rather bowls of this black tea, milk, salt and butter concoction are consumed every morning. Because of the butter, the drink is high in calories and thus provides energy for work throughout the day.
I […]
