This recipe had me a eggrolls. I mean at Reubens. I’m not sure which , because I adore them both. And this combo, sounds like a lovely idea! (It’s a little late for St. Pat’s, but this would be tasty any time…) (via The Kitchn) From the original site: If you have been following me […]
Beth Kemper sends us this yummy recipe for a Fried Green Tomatoes, topped with bacon , goat cheese and jalapeños… and served with a variety of hot sauces for that little extra “ooomph”!

This weekend we had a little gathering at our house–with the guys working outside and the girls making icecream, which ended up with everyone staying for dinner. This cornbread was pronounced fabulous, so I’m here to share it with you–it’s wonderfully moist, not too sweet, & just a little cheesy. Cornbread is probably the easiest […]
If I’m ever in need of something to put in the Spotlight, it’s a pretty safe bet I’ll find something awesome at Foodwhirl friend Talk of Tomatoes.

Welcome again to Jennifer Locklin of Jane Deere! For the third in her “Techniques” series (although I’d say this qualifies for “Entertaining” as well!), she has brought us a great writeup on making your own cheese board. I must admit all those cheeses available can be quite overwhelming, and I love how she’s broken it […]
Foodwhirl fave La Fuji Mama has a how-to on making temarizushi (ball-shaped sushi). I’ve never tried this, but it looks like a great appetizer idea!

As Fall approaches and temps get cooler, you may be thinking about serving warm and comforting soups to your family. I used to wait tables at an awesome place in Silver City, NM called Diane’s Restaurant. One of my favorite menu items was their creamy tomato soup with garlic croutons.

Shrimp is one of my favorite go-to foods for several reasons: they’re quick cooking, generally economical (I can usually find shrimp priced around $5-7 per pound in the seafood section of my local Publix), theyare easily portioned into small amounts, my picky 5 year old is a big fan, and–of course– they’re tasty! Since just […]
Spotted at Can You Stay For Dinner, how to make Buffalo Chicken Fingers… and some great thoughts on not demonizing food, too! I love recipes that let you make your pub food favorites at home. And if you don’t want to make them spicy, this recipe would work for plain chicken fingers to feed the […]
I love eggplant… (Eggplant fried up nice and crispy is one my guilty pleasures!) so this take on a bite sized appetizer portion of eggplant parmasan at Talk of Tomatoes sounds pretty tasty! Bites, nibbles, crumbly blobs of Parmesan and breadcrumbs on small pieces of eggplant. This experiment made at least a dozen rounds in […]
This is an excellent salad recipe that I posted at my Gaia’s Greens website a couple of weeks ago when we had beets in our organic produce boxes. It is quickly becoming a favorite in my house!! The combination of flavors is just perfect and it’s fast and easy to make. So many people avoid beets […]
Perusing my Google Reader this morning, I ran across this lovely idea from the always creative Wisdom of the Moon.

I love Indian food, but sometimes I think the thing I love the most at an Indian restaurant is the naan. So when I spotted this at Healthy Delicious I figured this had to go on the ‘to try’ list. And she says it’s easy! Before you run away in fear from a post about […]
My five year old tagged along on a client call I had today, and to reward him for actually being well behaved, we stopped for sushi for lunch… It’s one of both of our favorite foods! So when I saw this today, I thought it was a great idea. Mediterranean Sushi from Tomayto Tomaahto. How […]
I ran across this recipe the other day at Deliciously Organic, and had to save it into my ‘to post’ folder! I love this updated take on that old favorite (and guilty pleasure), tater tots. I haven’t had this much fun making a recipe in a long time. I noticed these little treats in Food […]
I’m always on the lookout for easy and tasty recipes, and this one from Foodwhirl reader The Runaway Spoon looks delish. And I love the substitution of puff pastry for phyllo dough in this. Okay, I’ll admit. I have fear of phyllo. I love Greek food and pastries, but I am too afraid, or okay, […]

One of the things I love about Easter is eggs! And what better to do with hard boiled eggs than deviled eggs. We are going to an Easter/Birthday Party today and this is one of the dishes I’m taking. Everybody loves deviled eggs and I’m sure they will disappear quickly! These will be great alongside […]
