Puff Pastry 4 Ways. Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Cauliflower Soup with Goat Cheese. Soup season is definitely here and do I ever have a tasty one to share with you today, a creamy roasted cauliflower and red pepper soup! The original idea behind this soup was for a creamy roasted red pepper soup but I figured that I would keep things a little on the healthier side by using pureed cauliflower to add the creaminess and to help thicken the soup up a bit.
Roasted red peppers and cauliflower are a great combo and another thing that I like to combine with roasted red peppers is tangy goat cheese which also further adds to the creaminess of the soup. Like a lot of great soups, this one is super easy to make where you really just need to roast the red peppers and cauliflower, saute some onions, add the broth and goat cheese, and heat up before pureeing. I added one final touch to the soup and that was a bit of paprika to add a hint of smokiness! I know what a few of you are thinking right about now and that is: "But Kevin, where is the bacon?

Watermelon Recipes To Eat All Summer Long. Healthy Pizza with a Cauliflower Crust.

Grilled Cheese for Adults (Recipe) Though I’d like to think I’m a full-fledged adult, I always come back to grilled cheese. Is there a more perfect food? Gooey cheese between two pieces crunchy, buttery bread? I think not! If you’ve ever tried to make your grilled cheese appeal to your more sophisticated tastes, though, you’ve invariably come into the problem that most fancier cheeses just don’t melt well. All is not lost, though; thanks to the expert chefs at Cook’s Illustrated magazine, we have ourselves the perfect adult-friendly grilled cheese. The method may seem a little strange at first — grilled cheese that involves a food processor?! — but, trust me, the results are fantastic. I opted out of spreading mustard on the sandwich and instead added extra flavor by sprinkling some roughly chopped thyme and sage on top of the cheese mixture.
Grilled Cheese for Adults Makes 2 sandwiches. Ingredients: Instructions: 1. Recipe Credit: Lan Lam of Cook’s Illustrated. The Sangria Cake, a DIY Desserts event, learning from your mistakes and a note about my Saveur's Best Food Blog Nomination - Eat The Love. Last month, at 18 Reasons (a non-profit organization dedicated to the building community through food) I co-hosted the DIY Desserts event with my friend Melanie. DIY Desserts is an evening where bakers from all walks of life (from fancy schmancy pros to down home beginners) bring a dessert that they made centering around themes.
April’s theme was boozy desserts, like happy hour in baked good form. And boy were they awesome. My contribution: The Sangria Cake! The evening wasn’t super crowded, but the people that showed up were all Quality (with a capital Q). My cohost Melanie showed up with mouthwater Mucho Margarita Cupcakes, that were vegan no less! Sweet, soft and ever so slightly tart, the cupcakes were a perfect way to start off the evening and get the juices flowing.

Just the NAME of this was enough to send us into spasms of food lust!!!! I dashed out to the Farmer’s Market for the raspberries while Cindi pulsed the oats in the food processor to make the perfect (and gluten free!) Flour. We are always freezing bananas at their perfect, spotted ripeness moment, the freezer is chock full of them for smoothies and banana bread. In the original recipe the banana bread is made in a loaf pan, but we love these individual small loaves.

She first told me about it on one of our walks about a week before we headed to the beach. By Sunday, it was the only thing on my mind. I don’t even know where to start.

This might be our family's most requested birthday cake from now on.
The recipe comes from a friend from church, Wendy. She is very popular at our house right now:-). I first tasted this cake at Wendy's house during a Youth Council meeting. I could not figure out how they made it and was in awe of the flavor that seemed to take me back to my childhood. The layering impressed the dickens out of me and while I knew I was going to ask for the recipe, I was afraid it would look too involved. I was wrong.

When I was in college, Gumby's Pizza was an integral part of a fun evening out. We would call (from our land lines of course) to order Pokey (or "Hokie" at my school) Stix, drown them in ranch dressing and have a great time recapping our evening. This was a tradition that sadly only continued as alumni whenever my friends and I returned to campus for a game. To my amusement when I first started going to Penn State with my now husband and his group of friends, I quickly discovered that they too had a Gumby's and ordered Pokey Stix many times themselves.
This love for "Pokeys" developed into calling the State College location whenever we traveled to a football game, picking up the delicacies as we pulled into town and carrying them out to our tailgates. I don't know anyone who loves them more than my friend Laura, so of course it was only a matter of time until we tried a copycat recipe. Enter Pinterest. Pokey StixInspiration from Gumby’s Pizza. Scalloped Potatoes: How To Make Them Fast. Crispy Baked Eggplant Fries with Marinara Dipping Sauce (aka Eggplant Parmesan Fries!) After the recent extraordinary success of the crispy baked portobello mushroom fries I was thinking about what other vegetables could be turned into fries and with the abundance of cheap eggplant these days, it seemed like the perfect candidate to try next! I was a bit worried about using eggplant to make fries as eggplant can have a lot of moisture, and no one want soggy fries, but given how addictively good roasted eggplant is, I just have to give it a shot!
Once again the recipe for the eggplant fries is extremely quick and easy! You really just need to slice the eggplant, coat it up in the breadcrumbs, parmesan and seasonings and bake it until crispy. (There is really no excuse for reaching for that bag of chips all the way at the back of the cupboard!) As it turns out, I had nothing to worry about as the eggplant fries came out perfectly crispy and golden brown and as you can see from the photos, I have made several batches already!
