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, […]
The Taste Traveller is a consistently yummy blog that I like to peruse, and here’s a recent post that caught my attention… Chocolate chip espresso muffins, with a nice caffeine kick! I should call these Caffeine Kick Chocolate Chip Espresso Muffins. I don’t know about you, but I often need a little extra kick in […]
Reader Erin pointed us to her blog, Yummy Supper, and I’m really enjoying her recipes. My parents have a pear tree, so we’re always looking for interesting things to do with pears, and this one seemed like a real winner that I can’t wait to try… Erin writes: Pears and caramel…. yummmmmmm. For Valentine’s Day, […]
Do you read Saucy’s Sprinkles? Such personality, and fun recipes too… particular sweets related. I spotted these cupcakes and had to share them with you guys here. Saucy writes: So this thought has been swirling around in Saucy’s brain for a long while: how much stuff could she possibly jam into one cupcake? Could a […]
I giggled reading the tales of homemade eclairs over at Made by Nichole. (I was over there looking at her clever crafting ideas for a post on Dabbled, and found this recipe, so I thought it would be a good one to share on Foodwhirl.) We made thick sweetened whip cream in a blender ( […]
Foodwhirl readers are so creative! Here’s a great idea from Kathleen, at Gonna Want Seconds.. Magic Middle Peanut Butter Cookies. Chocolate on the outside, and peanut butter centers? Like a Reese’s Cup in cookie form.. Oh! My! Gosh! I mean seriously! I think I should rename these cookies to Danger Will Robinson Cookies. They are […]
Sometimes when flipping through food blogs, I run across an idea that makes me say “huh, I never thought to try that!”. That was my thought when seeing this post at reader Leslie’s blog, the Sunday Chef! English Muffins! We’ve done Challah Bread, Soda Bread, Cornbread (twice), and Whole Wheat Bread… So I figured English […]
Hopefully you’ve used up all your leftover easter eggs by now, but if not, this is a cute idea! Did you know you can reshape a boiled egg in an egg mold (even after it’s been used as an Easter egg)? Over at Hapa Bento, Debra explains how! And here are some she reshaped in […]
Browsing the webs for more interesting egg ideas, I wandered across this by NoobCook. If you’re not going to go for dying the outsides of eggshells this year, perhaps this would be a fun and tasty alternative! I’ve seen these before and they always struck me as so beautiful… I’ve also seen this done with […]
Happy April Fool… Do you have any fun April Fool Food ideas like this one from Eggs on Sunday? See below for the scoop on what it really is, and the link to the How To! …that are really meyer lemon pudding, meyer lemon curd and toasted cinnamon cake slices! I saw this recipe from […]
I’ve never heard of these either, but my new fave food blog, Eye Candy, has yet another gorgeous egg idea! (I might just have to try these!) These hard-boiled eggs were pickled in a beet and white vinegar solution, then sliced in half and filled with an egg yolk-mayonnaise-mustard cream. They gain their colour from […]
I love this simple idea for an Easter or Spring themed sweet treat from Sunday Hotpants! Something a little unusual, and tasty too… (Sigh, I don’t like coconut… I wonder if anything else could be substituted and still get the same effect?) She writes: I’m not very good at getting things posted for the holidays, […]
I saw this today on Love and Olive Oil (thanks for the tip @thenovicechef!). I love the effect that the multicolored cherry tomatoes give this pizza… and it looks so tasty.. First of all, can I say how much I LOVE daylight savings time? Sure, it’s been 3 weeks and I’m still having trouble waking […]
Reader Allison of Radishes and Rhubarb sends us this lovely recipe for challah bread, and how she had the revelation that making her own bread was a do-able thing. Some great insights here, and it’s totally inspired me to make my own artisan bread. (Especially because I think Challah bread would be great for Waffled […]
Macarons are everywhere lately! It seems you can’t peruse a food blog without seeing a yummy looking version of these continental sweets. But this has got to be the cleverest version I’ve seen so far.
Although I mentioned our Facebook group and Twitter feed this weekend, I forget to mention that we also have a Flickr group. I love Flickr – it’s a fabulous place to share pictures…especially pictures of delicious recipes. I found this lovely recipe from Teenie Cakes in the Foodwhirl Flickr group, and wanted to share it […]
Every time I check out Waffleizer (the blog dedicated to answering the question of Will It Waffle?) I giggle a little bit. And that’s a good thing in this world of so many oh so serious food blogs. Go check it out. I couldn’t decide what to feature today, so I’m breaking my unwritten rule […]
OK, St Pat’s is over, and it’s time to start thinking Easter! This is SUCH a cute idea for Easter, from one of my favorite new food blog finds, Eye Candy Food Blog! (thanks Niki for the pointer!) Are you looking for Easter dishes that are easy and fun to make? If yes, then these […]
Red Cordial Revolution has a very tasty looking how-to for making your own homemade tomato paste.. I love this idea… I’ve never tried to make my own before, but this sounds easy. She also suggests adding additional flavorings like anchovies, eggplant, or olives! After making this oh-so-super-easy homemade tomato paste you are never going to […]
I posted these a few weeks ago to our Facebook page and they were so popular I figured I’d share them here as a Spotlight! The Brown Eyed Baker shares her recipe for doing onion rings, without a big ol pan of hot oil. So clever! I adore onion rings. Love them, really. Although I […]
Here’s a fun St. Paddy’s Day sweet for you… what kid wouldn’t love a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow cupcake!? Reader Meg of Mega-Crafty sends us this fun idea, incorporating everything a leprechaun needs! I love how she made the rainbow icing, too… If you can’t find actual gold at the […]
I was out looking around for interesting things to do with corned beef and cabbage, and ran across this fabulous idea from The Cooking of Joy (one of my new fave food blogs!).. How do you combine sushi and St. Patrick’s Day? With St. Patty’s Day Maki, of course! Joy says: So after I blogged […]
Foodwhirl friend Talk of Tomatoes sends us the lovely idea for Bacon Week! Grilled food is always fun, and as Janelle points out, there’s nothing wrong with grilling in the winter.. I have been told—even chastised—for not heating up the grill in the dead of winter. I am beginning to heed that advice, taking off […]
Welcome to day 4 of Bacon Week! This is an oldie but goodie… I remember when Brownie Points posted this way back in 2008 and I was inspired to go draw up a cartoon pig bacon vodka label*, and give a friend of mine a “Bacon Vodka Kit”** for Christmas. But maybe, just maybe, you’ve […]
Foodwhirl’s lovely friend Carissa, from Good N Crazy, had a great bacon filled post last week that I wanted to include in Bacon Week. She not only shares a very successful method for cooking bacon in the oven, with less mess, but also a bunch more interesting links! I do NOT love cooking bacon. Who […]
