» Eggs in Avocado Slices for a Festive Holiday Breakfast
digg Eggs in Avocado Slices for a Festive Breakfast to Remember Holidays are a time for indulgence. A time to relax with a leisurely breakfast shared with friends and family. So. Eggs in Bell Pepper Rings So, I decided to try my luck using an avocado slice. It was very recently that I discovered that avocados are delicious when gently cooked. Make these part of your Christmas morning this year – or your next Saturday breakfast for friends. I saw this idea on an episode of The Next Iron Chef, where heavy hitter Geoffrey Zakarian made eggs and avocados, so I decided to try this at home. There isn’t a “recipe,” really, all you do is this: Heat a non-stick skillet to low heat. NOte: this post was just made party of a link party for California Avocados on Cookin Canuck. Then, just sit back and wait for the oohs and ahhs! Breakfast is a good way to get the uber-healthy green fruit into our diets.

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs First Patriots game of the season was last night, and Dan was giddy with excitement. Me? Not so much.

Salsa Recipies Garlic Cheese Bread Recipe I used to love eating “cheap grocery store garlic French bread.” You know, the kind that is slathered in bright yellow margarine, overly seasoned with garlic salt, and sprinkled with dried parsley leaves?! Typically, these loaves of garlic bread are packaged in some type of foil bag and you bake it at home. All I know is this… there is a time and place for this type of bread. Fast forward to today. The end result is a crusty rustic bread, with flecks of minced garlic hiding in the air pockets. If you love eating bread with your meals, this would be the perfect way to dress it up and feel accomplished, even if it was terribly easy to make.

Spices & Spice Recipies Eggs in a Hole + Grilled Cheese = Grilled Cheese Eggsplosion! SLIDESHOW: Eggs in a Hole + Grilled Cheese = Grilled Cheese Eggsplosion! [Photographs: Robyn Lee and J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] I wish I could say that I came up with what may well be the best breakfast sandwich concept ever on my own, but I'd be lying. Like the infamous Fatty Melt (that's a burger made with two grilled cheese sandwiches as a bun, the brainchild of our own Adam Kuban), the Grilled Cheese Eggsplosion is a hybrid sandwich, combining elements from two or more sources into a single glorious dish. Added bonus: You get to make yourself a mini grilled cheese using the circular cut-outs. If all goes well, once this sucker is fried up, the cheese should be perfectly melted, and the yolks still runny so that they gush forth as soon as you cut or bite into them.

Recipe: Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Panini How do you like that – GREEN grilled cheese for St. Patrick’s Day! I made these sandwiches in homage to the salad dressing wonder that is the Green Goddess. Bursting with bright, fresh green herbs and kicked up with the bold flavors of garlic and anchovies, Green Goddess salad dressing has been making a bit of a comeback in recent years. It was first created at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco back in the 1920′s. Yes, I said invent. The green color in Green Goddess dressing, as well as in this grilled cheese version, all comes from a profusion of fresh herbs. I chose the cheeses in this sandwich for both their flavors and melting qualities. This sandwich came out exactly as I’d hoped – bold Green Goddess flavors, creamy stretch grilled cheese and GREEN. Green Goddess Grilled Cheese Panini Inspired by the Green Goddess Dressing recipe by Molly Wizenberg in Bon Appétit, May 2009 Prep time: 15 min | Cook time: 15 min | Total time: 30 min Yield: 4-6 panini >Ready to buy a panini press?

How to Make Deviled Eggs - Great Low Carbohydrate Recipes All of these recipes suit the tastes of my family and you may find that you enjoy a little less or a little more of one ingredient. Feel free to experiment yourself! After all, the "funnest" and most creative part of making your own deviled eggs is that you get to tweak each recipe to suit you! Some of the recipes use light mayonnaise to help cut down on the calories from fat to accommodate low cholesterol and low fat diet plans (with 50% less fat than regular mayonnaise). Hellman’s is a nice choice. But you can always substitute either way with little difference in texture or firmness. Always keep your deviled eggs well-chilled, taking additional precautions in the summer months. I have met two groups of deviled egg lovers - people who like the filling firm and others who like it soft and gooey. Here are 11 great recipes to try: Easy Classic Deviled Eggs A "Little Bit Devilish" Deviled Eggs Sweet Pickle and Horseradish Deviled Eggs Crunchy Veggie Deviled Eggs Crab Meat & Celery Deviled Eggs

Gruyere Surchoix and Toasted Almond Grilled Cheese | grilledshane A week ago the folks and I traveled to the great city of Pittsburgh and the Strip District for a min-vacation. For the first time, I went to the Strip with grilled cheese on the mind. With many bakeries selling fresh out of the oven bread, it was a perfect place to purchase bread for a homemade grilled cheese. We stopped at Mancini’s Bread late in the day so their selection was extremely minimal but we were lucky enough to snag one loaf of cinnamon bread. ingredients: Gruyere SurchoixToasted AlmondsMancini’s Cinnamon Bread the cheese: gruyere surchoix Once the cinnamon bread was chosen, it was time to find a matching cheese. thoughts This grilled cheese was created from many different sources in many different cities. The almonds reminded me of the hazelnuts I recently used, but I was up for trying another nut. As was the case with the hazelnuts, I toasted these in the oven at 350* for about 15 minutes. What can one say about cinnamon bread? the grilled cheese:

A Recipe for Homemade, Homegrown Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce I found this recipe about 6 months ago and I was instantly intrigued. I have a cayenne plant that is producing heavily and I recently became interested in pickling. While researching pickling I found this recipe but was apprehensive to try because I know so little about fermenting and the process. I came to this page over and over looking at the recipe, I had no idea that people were still writing comments and questions. I started on July 21. Before I get back to that batch…., on July 28 I started a 2nd batch and, lets just say, Batch #2…7/28/13 – 8/1/13…RIP. Back to my first batch and what I learned. The lactic acid creates the sour taste and preserves the food and the carbon dioxide, as it rises, pushes out any oxygen trying to penetrate the liquid. In summary, and this is my humble opinion, but I think the trick may be to fill the jar to the top with water so there is no air gap, and then “vent” the jar starting when the fermentation starts, about 3-5 days in.

Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich I certainly have been into the fresh field ripened tomatoes lately! I have been picking up at least a full basket of them every week and most weeks they have disappeared long before the end of the week. Primarily I have been enjoying them in BLT sandwiches but recently I had a new idea and that was for a caprese grilled cheese sandwich. For the basil component of this sandwich I decided to go with a basil pesto as I was thinking that a pesto would work better in the sandwich than straight basil leaves and the pesto would also add even more flavour. Does this grilled cheese sandwich look good? Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich What better way is there to enjoy perfectly ripe tomatoes other than smothered in melted cheese along with some fresh homemade basil pesto in a sandwich that is grilled to perfection?
