Rick Bayless knows salsa. Alice Waters calls him a “brilliant teacher with an inexhaustible curiosity about authentic Mexican cooking.” I couldn’t agree more. Looking for another way to use up the piles of tomatoes I have around the kitchen, I turned to In The Green Kitchen (techniques to learn by heart), where Bayless describes the simple and delicious way to serve up heirlooms and tomatillos. I combined the two, added some mango, and served it on everything from salad, cumin roasted garbanzo beans, and zucchini noodles. Some of you might be thinking, wait – what’s a tomatillo again? “Tomatillos earn their diminutive name by their petite size that varies from that of a cherry tomato to one of a small tomato.

Dining out on the day of romance is likely to make you and your beloved victims of overpriced, ordinary food, tied up in the rip-off ribbon of a prix fixe.

What the Heck is Nutritional Yeast? Yeast is nothing new to human cuisine. Even people who’ve never baked bread in their lives know that yeast is used to make dough rise, and to convert the sugars in fruit juice into alcohol. One type of yeast that has become more popular in recent years is so-called nutritional yeast, also known as “savory yeast” in some parts of the world.

Nutritional yeast is a form of deactivated yeast that is often used as a condiment and food additive due to its savory flavor and high level of healthy nutrients. It is one source of complete protein and numerous vitamins, especially B-complex vitamins (folates), making it popular among vegans and vegetarians, who can sometimes become deficient in these vitamins. The easiest way to enjoy nutritional yeast is to sprinkle it onto foods the same way you would use salt, herbs, or grated Parmesan cheese. Most natural food and health food stores carry nutritional yeast, and many grocery stores are starting to, as well. Baked Acorn Squash with Chestnuts, Apples and Leeks Recipe - Justin Chapple.

Condensed cream soups are staples in many casserole recipes and for good reason, because the soups are convenient and they provide flavor and a rich, creamy consistency.

However, condensed cream soups also add large amounts of unhealthy sodium. You can purchase low-sodium varieties of cream soups, or you can use other healthy alternatives. White sauce makes a viable substitute for cream soups. Make white sauce using butter, flour and chicken broth instead of milk. Turn the white sauce into a substitute for mushroom soup by mixing in a few sauteed mushrooms. Similarly, add steamed broccoli for cream of broccoli soup, cooked potatoes for cream of potato soup, or steamed celery for cream of celery soup. Control the amount of sodium in cream soup by making your own cream soup mix from nonfat dry milk, cornstarch, white pepper and seasonings such as garlic powder and onion flakes or onion powder.

Jewish And Mexican Cooking Meet In 'Challa-peño' Hide captionJerry and Martha Schneider lived for many years in Mexico. They say the best Jewish food they've ever eaten was made by a husband-and-wife catering team in downtown Mexico City. Anita Schmidt Jerry and Martha Schneider lived for many years in Mexico. They say the best Jewish food they've ever eaten was made by a husband-and-wife catering team in downtown Mexico City. Food memories are vivid. Although Mexico City was home, their families were from Eastern Europe, so my grandparents grew up eating soups with noodles in them and baked meat in sauces of caramelized onion. My grandfather Jerry Schneider says his father loved the food that reminded him of his past.

The sweet dumpling squash is one of the smallest of winter squashes, usually only a few inches in diameter and less than half a pound in weight. When ripe, they have an attractively variegated skin in shades of yellow and green or yellow and orange. They cook up lighter and dryer than most winter squash and have an unusually mild, sweet delicate flavor that's suited for almost any cooking method. The simplest way to cook any squash is to bake it in your oven. Cut around the stem of your sweet dumpling and remove the top. The sweet and delicate flavor of sweet dumpling squash makes it especially good for soup. Once peeled, sweet dumpling has a relatively soft flesh and is easier to cut than many other squashes. Sauteing sweet dumpling squash, like roasting it, caramelizes its naturally occurring sugars.

CrockPot Recipes for Cold Days. By JulieVR | Fall is CrockPot season – that time of year when slow cookers come out of hiding and are put back to work for the winter. It’s also soup season – when a warm bowl of something steamy hits the spot. If you can make that soup in your slow cooker and let it simmer all day, all the better. Here are some great soup recipes that can easily be made in the slow cooker – and how to adapt your own favourite recipes.

Fortunately, soup recipes are the most lax of any I know – you can generally wing it when you make a pot of soup, adding meat, veg, stock, anything you like – and simmering until it’s done.

Vegan Black Bean Soup. Homemade Oreos. When I read Jaime’s post about Homemade Ho-Ho’s every single word rang true. Like most kids, my two-and-a-half year old is a sucker for bright packaging and attractive pictures of decadent chocolate desserts. It is not unusual that she asks to purchase whatever brightly colored cookie box happens to catch her eye while we shop.

(I never do.) Last week, when we were at the store picking up some dry goods, we happened upon a giant Oreo display. Can you blame her? This recipe is for a classic homemade Oreo. Homemade Oreos 1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour 1/2 c. 1/2 c. sugar 1 t. baking soda 1/4 t. baking powder 1/4 t. 1/2 c. plus 1 T. unsalted butter, room temperature 1 egg, room temperature For the Icing: 2 c. confectioner’s sugar 3 T. whole milk 1 t. vanilla extract 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Homemade Nutella. I love nutella straight from the jar and never think twice about buying it.

But last winter the LA Times printed a recipe for homemade nutella and I was intrigued. Could something homemade mimic the real thing? The ingredients list is short and the instructions fairly simple so I decided to give it a try. The spread was somewhat more textured then the smooth cream of the store-bought version, but the taste was right on. Making it at home might not replace the ubiquitous grocery store spread but it’s an excellent alternative. Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Homemade Nutella) adapted from the LA Times 2 cups raw hazelnuts 1/2 cup unsweetened good quality cocoa powder 1 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/8 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons hazelnut oil, more as needed 1. 2. 3. Kimberly Snyder's Official Glowing Green Smoothie(R) Recipe. Please note: For maximum health and beauty benefits, it is necessary to NOT only drink the Glowing Green Smoothie but also follow the whole Beauty Detox program. Drinking the Glowing Green Smoothie (GGS) is a great way to incorporate tremendous amounts of greens into your diet – far more than just eating your veggies.

A serving of the GGS contains over 3 cups of dark leafy green vegetables, which is more than many people get in a week! Greens have more valuable nutrients than any other food group on the planet. You might be surprised to learn that greens even have high-quality, easily-assimilated amino acids – enough to build the protein that supports the muscle mass of the mighty, greens-eating gorilla, which pound-for-pound is the strongest animal on earth!

Blending helps make greens’ full spectrum of nutrition readily available to the body. This is the drink that I drink every day, and have all my clients drink to feel and look their best. Ingredients (64 ounces / 2-4 servings) Easy Bread Pudding Goes Seasonal with Plums and Tarragon. This easy bread pudding recipe with plums and tarragon has a lot going for it. It’s a rustic dish with sophisticated flavors, it’s rich but there’s a tanginess that keeps it from being too rich, and it’s super easy to make ahead of time. Best of all, it really showcases the taste of the plums, which are a fleeting summer pleasure. And while this bread pudding delivers so many of the things I love about cheesecake, it’s a simple two-bowl recipe.

You can thank me later. As with french toast, thoroughly soggy bread is the key to deliciousness, so make sure that liquid covers the bread and that the bread has plenty of time to absorb the liquid. I find letting it soak for a hour or so gives the best results.

Arrange the bread in the baking dish diagonally, like fallen dominoes. Pad Thai. I’ve recently come to realize I’m very much a meal-in-a-bowl girl, and rarely orchestrate a meat-and-two-veg meal. Pad Thai is right up my alley – a tasty tumble of crunchy, salty and sweet that makes great use of leftover shredded chicken or pork. Even if I have none in the fridge, I always have a couple of eggs and make a habit of keeping shrimp in the freezer to toss into dishes such as this. It can easily be made vegetarian, or even vegan, by using cubed firm tofu. Customize it to suit your taste. I love my Pad Thai topped with crunchy, salty peanuts or cashews. Pad Thai is a fast and tasty meal, which is why it’s so commonly sold (made on-the-spot) by street vendors in Thailand. Pad ThaiFor a vegetarian version, swap the chicken and/or shrimp for cubed firm tofu.

Pumpkin Pierogies with Pecan Sage Cream Sauce. As we kick off pumpkin week, I thought I would try something I’ve never done before, pierogies. Pierogies are a Eastern European dish which are similar to Italian raviolis. Although, I would venture to say they might be better, because after you boil them, you get to brown them in butter. For many people, especially those of Polish decent, pierogies are served on Christmas eve, but what about Thanksgiving eve? Let’s start off the eating early on on “Thanksgiving Eve” and serve pumpkin pierogies. For the dough recipe, I researched many recipes before deciding on one for my pierogies.

I was trying to find one that was easy to remember, and would be simple to put together. I found this dough recipe on Everyday with Rachel Ray, the website. I wrote this recipe so that it would use up a whole can of pumpkin.
