Ifood.tv | Your Food Network - Food Video Recipes Blog. A Good Bolognese Takes Time. Not too long ago, I posted a quick bolognese sauce. Last night we had company so I decided to make the real bolognese, the kind that takes a lot of time, the kind that makes the house smell amazing and the kind that tastes out of this world. I served it with a big salad and some homemade focaccia.
The problem -I was caught up with the company (and my glass of wine) and I completely forgot to take a picture of everything plated. It looked fabulous! Ingredients I recommend doubling or even tripling this recipe so you always have some on hand -it freezes well. 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large onion, chopped 2 carrots, chopped, 2 celery ribs, chopped 2 garlic cloves, chopped 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 pound meat loaf mix 1 cup whole milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 1 cup dry white wine or chicken broth 1 (28 ounce can ) crushed tomatoes Heat oil and butter in a large pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides.
Orange Pound Cake. Warning: Baking this cake will fill your kitchen with the irresistible smell of oranges. This is a slightly modified version of a recipe I saw recently in Saveur. It’s a buttery pound cake shot through with freshly grated orange zest and soaked with sweet orange syrup. Next time, I’m going to monkey around with the recipe and try it with lemons. Oooh, or maybe blood oranges. Yeah. Be sure to pour the glaze over the cake when it’s still warm to help the cake absorb the syrup. A note on creaming butter and sugar together This is an interesting recipe. This recipe, however, tells you to use your stand mixer to whisk softened butter into the flour mixture—and THEN add the liquid ingredients. I was really curious how it would work.
What’s the difference between cake flour and regular flour? This recipe calls for cake flour. Cake flour is made from soft wheat, which has less protein and gluten than all-purpose flour, so it’ll produce a finer-textured cake. Orange Pound Cake Adapted from Saveur. Pulled Pork at The Hungry Mouse. I know. This is dangerous territory for a Yankee Mouse to tread. Let me say right now: I make no claims to being a barbecue expert. But, I knew I wanted to make pulled pork. I also knew that our grill wasn’t set up, and we don’t have a smoker yet (yet!).
I figured, “OK, it’s a pork shoulder. I’ll braise it.” In the end, this was a very happy experiment that turned into one downright heavenly piece of pig. This pulled pork started with something I saw on the Food Network. I thought about it for a few days before I broke down and bought the pork shoulder. I took what I learned and, true to form, made the rest up and hoped for the best. As it turns out, it was more than a decent gamble. I infused a couple cups of the braising liquid with some vinegar, tomato paste, and chili flakes for a thin, piquant sauce. All about pulled pork There are a million ways to make pulled pork out there. Let’s start with the meat. Pork shoulder is great because it’s usually really cheap. It’s tough as hell.

If you want to add life to your white walls, try wallpapering your walls with fabric! Placing fabric on your walls is a simple process, as a matter of fact, it is just like wallpapering except you are using fabric and starch which allow you to easily remove and reuse as needed. Before we begin, decide which walls you would like to "fabric". Do you want to cover the whole wall, or would you prefer to go up half a wall and apply a border trim?
You may choose to create a collage of color and place a decorative frame around it, or use the fabric to create a wall mural. If being budget conscious is necessary for you, understand that fabric prices vary and could actually run into quite a bit of money depending on your tastes - this can be easily remedied by discount fabric stores and clearance sales. The good news is when you remove the fabric from the wall, all you will need to do is wash it. Keeping all that in mind - let's get busy. Materials: Perfect Pancakes. I have SUCH a love-hate relationship with pancakes on so many levels. 1. I LOVE the way good pancakes taste. 2. I HATE what good pancakes do to my bottom. I eat them, it grows. 3. I LOVE the experience of making pancakes from scratch, hearing them sizzle as I pour them onto a hot griddle, and watching everyone in my family gather around the stove and tell me how much they love me. 4.
I HATE pancakes that are chewy, tough, and flavorless. 5. I HATE what good pancakes do to my bottom. (Did I already say that?) Making pancakes from scratch is the only way to go. Lucky for you, I happen to be obsessed with pancakes, and decided not to rest until I came up with the perfect pancake recipe. Okay?

Country House Bed and Breakfast Casserole. Mushroom-and-Swiss Sliders with Spicy Fry Sauce. I went berserk the other night, whipping up some scrumptious sliders and topping them with some wine-soaked mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
What can I say? I was feeling mischievous. To slather on the slider buns—which were actually just storebought dinner rolls split like hamburger buns—I whipped up some spicy fry sauce. And for those of you who don’t know what fry sauce is…then you’ve never been to Utah or eaten fries late at night in a college dorm mess hall. Fry sauce is nothing more than ketchup and mayonnaise. And now you know the truth! It’s my purpose on Earth to expose these things. Start by making the spicy fry sauce: throw some mayo into a small bowl… Then add some ketchup. And some cayenne. Stir it together till it’s all combined, then set aside. Chop up an onion… Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Toss and stir them around, cooking them for about five minutes or so. Then grab the mushrooms, then chop ‘em all up.
And throw ‘em in the skillet with the onions. Meat. Sorry. Yum! CarolinaPixel's Recipes. Breakfast Sausage Casserole Recipe. Mommy's Kitchen.
