Kitchen SOS

One of my foodiest friends (and trust me, in my circle this is saying something) posted this on Facebook the other day.  I’m guilty of a lot of these kitchen crimes, though some unwittingly so.  If you spend any time at all on your cooking, these tips are worth a look. 8. You don’t know [...]

Zoku Pop

I’d never heard of this quick-freeze popsicle maker until a friend giddily announced his purchase. One glance at the website won me over: Despite having no free space in my freezer, I’m determined to buy one of these as well as the overpriced and unnecessary but totally squee-worthy “Character Kit”. http://www.zokuhome.com/pages/zoku-character-kit

Bulgur Salad with Chickpeas, Roasted Peppers, and Spiced Cumin Dressing Recipe at Epicurious.com

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Bulgur-Salad-with-Chickpeas-Roasted-Peppers-and-Spiced-Cumin-Dressing-109729Inspired by Roger Ebert’s Twitter recipes, I recently bought a rice cooker, and have been having a grand couple of weeks testing out what kind of one-pot meals it can make. I threw this together just before stepping into the shower, and it was ready just after I stepped out. As if that wasn’t great [...]

Juggling Frogs: Make your own cookie cutter from clip-art and a foil pan

http://blog.jugglingfrogs.com/2007/10/make-your-own-cookie-cutter-from-clip.htmlI’ve been trying my unsteady hand at making dough ornaments. (This is the kind of mad undertaking that results from 9 months of continued unemployment.) After laboriously cutting out about 20 bird shapes by hand, this site’s looking pretty good. (And bonus points for involving even more menial busy-work!)

Seasoning For Chicken Like The Colonels

http://www.copycat-recipes.net/recipes/seasoning_for_chicken_like_the_colonels.htmlYe Gods, Kentucky Fried Chicken is revolting! My last meal – a super-fatty chicken skin covering undercooked meat – was bad enough to have started boycott that’s going on 7 or 8 years now. That said, the “11 herbs and spices” mix is an admittedly intoxicating blend, so it’s nice to see a recipe that [...]

A Year of Slow Cooking: CrockPot Ginger Teriyaki Tofu Recipe

http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/03/crockpot-ginger-teriyaki-tofu-recipe.htmlI made this last night – the first of what I assume will be many attempts at the CrockPot Lady’s oeuvre. Add in a half-can of black beans, and some mushrooms in an attempt to healthify, and it’s really quite terrific. I served it over a bowl of buckwheat noodles.

A Year of Slow Cooking

http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/My sis and BIL gave me crockpot for Xmas a few years ago, and I’ve surprised myself at how much I’ve used it. Finding recipes that aren’t simply soup is sometimes difficult, though, so imagine my delight at finding Stephanie’s blog, wherein she created a crockpot recipe for every day of 2008. I have trolled [...]
