For the Love of Food » The Best Guacamole I’ve Ever Made – recipe
Jul 04 2008 ** Happy 4th of July everyone (in the USA)!!!I miss being out of the States on this holiday. We will be celebrating by grilling on Saturday down at the garden. Hamburgers and hot dogs…can’t get any more 4th of July-ish traditional than that! **I like the simple things in life. Simple ingredients, simple techniques, maximum flavor. But I guess you know that by now. Especially when you hand me a recipe that doubles as an appetizer or side dish, you just reel me in.
Stuffed Zucchini
Who would have ever thought I would get excited about seeing something green on sale in the grocery store? Not me. But that’s what happened when I walked by these super thin asparagus spears.
Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks
For New Year’s Eve, I wanted to make an easy appetizer that was at least a little impressive. These pretzel bites were perfect, except that I poorly planned my timing so that I was making them as our guests arrived. Little did I anticipate that our guests were going to finish making some of their dishes in my kitchen, too, so I was a bit distracted on making these. So distracted that they turned out with an unappetizing appearance.

Toasted Ravioli with Marinara Sauce
I'm not usually big on fried foods but I had a hankering for something crispy and cheesy. One Italian inspired appetizer I enjoy on occasion is toasted ravioli. Having this as an appetizer for my Pasta Party dinner was great since it featured how pasta doesn't always have to be the main course of a meal. In fact, I thought this Toasted Ravioli with Marinara Sauce rivaled versions found at restaurants!
Pierogi are traditional Polish noodle dumplings, filled with a variety of classic sweet and savory mixtures. For this recipe, we've chosen to make a basic potato-cheese filling and serve them as a side dish topped with sour cream, garlic and chive sauce. Our family recipe, combined with a fairly standard dough preparation method, produces an exceptionally light and tender finished product. The secret? Pinching off portions of dough and rolling them individually to avoid overworking it. 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 3 large eggs 2 tablespoons sour cream 3/4 to 1 cup water 1-1/2 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 small sweet onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 3/4 to 1 cup grated dry farmer's cheese Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1/2 stick butter, cut into 1 tablespoon portions 1 recipe Sour Cream Garlic-Chive Sauce
