Baked Stuffed Jalapeños Recipe Are you a risk taker? I think one has to be a bit adventurous to eat jalapeños. You never know if biting into one is going to yield that wonderful flavor and kick that is the basis for so much of Southwestern food, or if that one little bite will pack such a fiery punch that you’ll be running around the room mouth agape and tears in your eyes, begging for something to cool it all down. If you find that the pepper you’ve bit into is just too hot for your tongue, cool it off with sour cream, milk, or cream cheese. The other good reason why stuffed jalapeños are filled with cheese is they taste good that way! Do you have a favorite stuffing for stuffed jalapeños? When working with jalapeños, it helps to wear disposable gloves.

Pumpkin Pecan Baked Brie The easiest baked brie ever! All you need is 5 min prep, but be warned that you’ll probably want to make this all year long! Before I get into this epic holiday baked brie, I have been dying to tell you all about my recent trip to the Big Apple! Photography provided by Fisher Nuts New York is actually my hometown but having been in California for the last 14 years, it was certainly a little bit of shock to land in the cold, rainy city of Manhattan where my California flip flops had no place. But flip flops or not, I came off a 6-hour flight to join an amazing group of Fisher bloggers around the country to meet the amazing Chef Alex Guarnaschelli at her restaurant, Butter. She demonstrated several of her recipes using Fisher Nuts, and this walnut and fontina mac and cheese was probably one of the best mac and cheeses I have ever had. And with this sweet butternut squash appetizer, I might have sampled the entire platter when no one was looking. See, I told you it was easy! Ingredients Notes
Recipe Schmecipe: Spiced Potato and Ground Beef with Peas (Aloo Keema) Canada I don’t know about you but all I want to do in winter is to hibernate, eat hot comfort food and curl up with a good book.

But, making small healthy changes to those foods will allow you to enjoy them and still keep your resolutions intact. On that note, but certainly not to be mistaken with health food (all those potatoes!), here is a Spiced Potato and Ground Beef with Peas (“Aloo Keema” which literally means Potato Ground Beef) with warm and earthy Indian spices.

Aafrein Indian Cuisine|Best Indian Restaurant in Gold Coast tomato sauce with onion and butter I could no longer resist this sauce, and frankly, I don’t know why I even tried to: food bloggers obsess over it, and they’re not a bad lot to base a recipe selection upon. Adam of Amateur Gourmet fell for it five years ago. Molly at Orangette raved about it over two years ago, with a bonus approval marking from Luisa at Wednesday Chef. So what is it with this sauce that it moves people to essays over it, tossing about exclamations like “brilliant!” Butter and the juice of stewed onion is all it apparently takes to transform a two-pound can of tomatoes to something velvety and lush. One year ago: Clementine Cake and Mushroom BourguignonTwo years ago: Chicken Caesar SaladThree years ago: Cauliflower and Brussels Salad and Leek and Mushroom Quiche Tomato Sauce with Butter and Onions Adapted from Marcela Hazan’s Essentials of Italian Cooking Another thing that blew my mind about this sauce: I, for one, am a grated parmesan junkie.
How to Prepare a Cheese Board Please welcome guest author and cheese fiend Garrett McCord of Vanilla Garlic as he walks us through how to put together a fabulous cheese plate. ~Elise Whether served as an elegant appetizer, a palate cleansing course between courses, an impressive tray at a holiday party, or as a sophisticated dessert the cheese plate is always a welcome sight at the table.
