Black Bean & Corn Salad with Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette. 5 stars based on 180 votes Share on TwitterShare on FacebookShare on Pinterest Whenever I ask readers which Once Upon a Chef recipe is their favorite, the answer is almost always this Black Bean, Corn & Avocado Salad with Lime Vinaigrette. It’s just one of those crowd-pleasing, make-ahead recipes that everyone loves. This recipe is similar, only instead of a lime vinaigrette, I’ve tossed the salad with a smoky and sweet Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette (similar to the salad dressing served at Chipotle). I think you will love it as much, if not more than, the original! To make the dressing, you’ll need canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce — these are small peppers (usually red jalapeños) that have been dried and smoked that come in a spicy, smoky tomato sauce.

How To Make Coffee: Turkish Coffee. February 13th, 2014 Although Kasey and I both enjoy espresso, we rarely make it at home. When we want a strong and deep bite of coffee at home we brew a pot of Turkish coffee instead. The deep, earthy flavors of Turkish coffee are good anytime, but we particularly enjoy it following a meal. To make Turkish coffee in your home you’ll need an ibrik (also known as a kanaka, cezve, or briki). It’s a special wide-bottom pot that narrows at the neck before widening slightly at the top and which is attached to a long wood handle.

It’s important to use the proper grind when preparing Turkish coffee. 2.

Add enough cold water to reach just beneath the neck of your ibrik. 3. We often don’t add sugar to Turkish coffee in our home. 4. Use a small spoon to stir the coffee into the water. 5. Heat the coffee over medium heat. 6. 7. 8. Seasonal fruit and vegetable calendar. Most gawked last 7 days. Tomato Soup -DK. Mango Sorbet / Six Sisters' Stuff. I have a really bad sweet tooth.

Blueberry, Brie and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese Recipe. Blueberry, Brie and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese Blueberry, Brie and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese-a sweet and decadent grilled cheese sandwich that is perfect for dessert!

It’s no secret that grilled cheese sandwiches have been my ultimate pregnancy craving this time around. The ingredients are simple-bread, cheese, and butter. You really can’t go wrong when those ingredients are involved. I am fine with a classic grilled cheese sandwich, but sometimes it’s fun to spice things up. A few of my favorites include: Guacamole Grilled Cheese, Pesto Crusted Pesto Grilled Cheese, and Roasted Broccoli Grilled Cheese. I love a good savory grilled cheese, but my new favorite is a sweet grilled cheese sandwich, Blueberry, Brie and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese.

Josh cut slices of crusty bread while I sliced the brie. Grilled Tomato Soup & Cheddar Sandwiches – Grilled Cheese Recipes. Puffy Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips. I have cookie moods. Occasionally, I crave a paper thin cookie – the only kind my dad really likes – when I’m aching for dessert with a raging sweet tooth that just won’t quit.

Other days, when I’m reaching for comfort and sometimes feel like eating my emotions, I look for the perfectly thick, chewy cookie, still gooey from the oven, plucked from it’s baking sheet in pieces because I lack patience. And on a rare occurrence, I want to find my cookie inside of things: ice cream, cinnamon rolls, brownies, and bars… to which I will inevitably pick out each piece of cookie so precisely that it appears they were surgically removed by a world class surgeon. A dessert surgeon, that is. This temperamental relationship I share with cookies proves just what a lunatic I am when it comes to food.

I can find a time, a place, a day, or an event for any food in wild variation. In fact… my heart sort of bursts when I come across something new and delicious (uh… skillet bacon jam anyone? Bizarre? P.S. Grilled Guacamole Recipe. The Comfort of Eggs in a Basket. Eggs in a basket was the first meal I ever cooked. I was in 5th grade, and it was a Sunday morning at my best friend's house after a sleepover. We woke up hungry, and for some reason his parents weren't home. This confused me--my parents would never do that--but more important than confusion was the fact that I was terribly hungry, and I didn't see how that problem was going to be solved, since his house never had any cereal in it.

"We'll make eggs in a basket," my friend said, pulling out a loaf of bread, a jug of oil, and a carton of eggs. The resulting breakfast was awesome: runny yolk and crisp bread dripping with oil (we filled the skillet so much oil it was basically deep-fried). Ideally, make this with slices of toast cut thick. I guess I have a fondness for very fast and simple eggs + bread dishes, my love of "eggy bread" evidence of this, which is basically French toast without sweetness or spices. What are your go-to quick meals when hunger looms?
