This is a delicious recipe taken from an awesome restaurant called Dinosaur Bar-B-Cue in Syracuse, New York.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Cue's Texas Red Chili Recipe from Carony. Recipes | Vitamix Lady. Crock Pot Applesauce. Stronger Coffee : K-Cups & Vue Packs - K-Cup | Vue Pack Reviews. Sweaner wrote:The boldest K-cups I have used have been Van Houtte Eclipse, Gloria Jean's Black Gold, and Coffee People Jet Fuel.

That being said, I drink all at 6 oz except the Eclipse, that I drink at 8 oz. Those may be extra bold, but bold is bold; dark is dark. Extra bold can be medium roast too, but I haven't seen one in a light roast. My suggestion is go with 8-oz, never more, and try the Van Houtte Columbian Medium (well, they also have a dark if you like dark.) I had the same problem early on, trying many different K-Cups and finding *** MOST *** of them to feel watery-weak. (I am posting before finishing reading the other posts, so my apologies if I am parroting what someone else already said) The term "Extra Bold" refers to more coffee being in the K-Cup, not to how dark the roast is. My first batch of K-Cups included Van Houtte Eclipse. KitchenAid Single-- Keurig B30 red-- Keurig B30 black (non-leaking version)-- KitchenAid Compact 4-Cupper ('cute lil' red coffeemaker)-- Mr.

How to Poach an Egg | Fresh Tastes Blog | PBS Food. Last week I showed you how to make the perfect scrambled eggs, this week I’m going to show you how to make the perfect poached egg. Poaching an egg poses an interesting quandary because you’re adding a liquid to a liquid in the hopes that one of the liquids sets before it mixes with the other. We’ve all seen poached eggs with almost no egg white and feathery white foam where the egg white should be.

This is because the egg white has mixed with the hot water before setting. There are a number of things you can do to minimize the amount of egg white that mixes with the water to make a poached egg with most of the egg white in tact. Here are my tricks for getting the perfect poached egg: Four Tips for How to Poach an Egg Reduce turbulence in the water to prevent the egg white from mixing with the water.

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup. Happy Monday! I feel like after Friday’s super decadent chocolate kahlua pie business, you might be in the mood for something just a taaaaaaaad healthier today.

I love making light veggie soups like this when I am feeling under the weather or stressed. As much as I love creaming butter and sugar, chopping vegetables is almost like therapy for me. A lot of the time I listen to classical music on Pandora while I chop, a habit I picked up in culinary school when one of my chef instructors would blast it while we worked. It annoyed me at the time {classical music? I know we all love roasting root vegetables in the fall — it’s just so cozy, right? Oh, did I mention it’s vegan, too?

Made with my savory sauce, these noodles are truly irresistible! (Includes instructions for vegetarians.) Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: 7-8 oz.

When I’m on the go, I want to grab something that is packed with nutrition, not too sweet and plenty tasty. I’ve made this power bar recipe a bunch of times now and my taste testers (that would be my husband who is a very direct and rather stringent critic) have given it their official seal of approval (that would be eating an entire tray in two days flat). When I saw Heidi’s video on power bars yesterday, I knew it was time to go ahead and post mine. For those of you who are not yet familiar with Heidi, I have mentioned her here a few times. She is my favorite food blogger and author of the delightful book, Super Natural Cooking I love her power bar video –her voice is so soothing and the content so tranquil that it might put you into a trance.

I wanted to leave you a quick note to let you know that I’m no longer posting recipes (as of January 2013). I *am* still posting, and welcome you to check out some of my newer posts. I have had a love-hate relationship with Pad Thai for a while now. I loved it when I had it in Thailand and I hated it anytime I ordered it at a restaurant stateside. You see, the so-called Pad Thai I’ve had in restaurants has always been coated in this weird orange-colored sauce that scares me.

I also learned that the peppers in the panang curry in Thailand are not bell peppers like they are over here. Anyway, enough about spontaneous combustion. But no more. Granted, the recipe is not 100% authentic — it doesn’t use fish sauce and tamarind and the 100 other ingredients the authentic version calls for — but it is light and fresh and easy with a capital E.
