Super Bowl Sunday: Cheeseburger Soup

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

We are on a winter soup kick and we’ve made this soup twice during the week which means we like it and it’s easy.  The pickles give it a salty flavor and a nice crunch.  I made the ingredient sizes large enough to have leftovers for work the next day.

NYC Butter Lane Bakery: Banana Cupcakes w/ Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I am lazy enough to not cancel a magazine subscription that I didn’t even order.   This month I was glad that I didn’t cancel it because I found this recipe in a Glamour Magazine of all places.  The recipe is from New York City’s Butter Lane Bakery.

On Serious Eats they describe the difference between two different icing types that they use @ Butter Lane Bakery. They make an American icing version and a French version.  This recipe is the Americano! What do you think?

Israeli Chicken Schnitzel & Breaded Potato Dumplin’s

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I have craved this meal ever since living with Israelis.  I searched the internet for the potato dumpling recipe but couldn’t seem to find it because I couldn’t remember the exact name of the dish.  Then I finally found a Polish Potato Dumplings recipe and a Czech version, pretty soon this one popped up and it was right on!

A Family Recipe: Buttermilk Belgian Waffles w/ Texture, Texture, Texture

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

This is another family recipe and it wasn’t Sunday morning if our mom didn’t make these.

In my mind, there are two kinds of great waffles:

-Crispy, Golden Brown: Thinner Waffles, w/ a crunch & smaller grid

OR

-Bigger Belgian Waffles: Taste-Packed, more Cakey w/ bigger grid (This recipe!)

Maine – Home Cookin’ for Xmas!

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Home Cookin’ for Xmas – New England Style +  Some Family Traditions

• Lobster is one of my favorite foods. I have to eat lobster every time we go to Maine. Eating it at home is as good as eating it at restaurant if not better!

It is currently very affordable because of the overabundance of lobster due to the overfishing of its predators.

Pull out your Joy of Cooking and boil those “lobsta’s.”  Serve with melted butter.

• Gjetost Cheese Spread

Gjetost is a cheese that is a combination of goat and cow’s milk. Our family heats the Gjetost very slowly in a pot until the water has evaporated and the milk sugar forms a kind of brown caramelized paste. Then milk or cream is added to change the fat content of the finished product which looks like peanut butter that you can spread on crackers. This is a family tradition to make Gjetost around xmas time passed on by Swedish relatives from Minnesota.

• Peanut Butter Fudge from Kellie’s Belly

Tasty recipes we either prepared or had prepared for us for xmas:
