Bon Appetit RSVP September 2010 – Lamb with Pomegranate Molasses Sauce

September 30, 2010

It’s time for my monthly recipe from the RSVP section of Bon Appetit magazine. Some of you may have seen me on Twitter talking up my new website RSVP Redux; a compilation of recipes from RSVP that are made by myself and other food bloggers. I love trying recipes from RSVP; feeling a certain sense [...]

Mashed Potatoes with Lemon, Garlic and Chives

September 29, 2010

The first time I made these lemon flavored mashed potatoes it was out of curiosity. I typically trust Bon Appetit so even though it seemed a strange combination of ingredients for mashed potatoes, I love lemon in so many things I thought these worth a try. After completing the dish and of course taking a [...]

Pikes Peak Spiked Apple Crisp

September 20, 2010

This is an adult version of the tried and true favorite (although kids love it too!). I love Apple Crisp more than Apple Pie; I just love that crunchy topping and this has an abundant amount…no measly crumbs of sweet, buttery goodness…nope, plenty to satisfy! I’ve lived in the house I’m in now for 19 [...]

Crispy Sesame Chicken Salad

September 19, 2010

Sometime last year Tyler Florence started using Twitter on Fridays for a mini cooking class. It was unique but sort of a pain. Following the #twitlish hashtag resulted in having to read a LOT of questions from novice cooks that quickly made following that stream difficult and yes, boring. However, I still decided to make [...]

Nutella Fudge Brownies with Mocha Buttercream Frosting

September 17, 2010

A Contest! I’m lucky to have met Abby Dodge on Twitter even if so far we are really only ‘virtual’ friends. I hope know that will change but in the meantime, I’ve loved building a relationship with this wonderful, funny and talented woman. Although I had been following Abby on Twitter, I first really communicated [...]

Strawberry Mascarpone Tart

September 15, 2010

This Strawberry Mascarpone Tart is such a fresh and simple dessert but no matter, it will create a legion of devotees. It’s really best when strawberries are at the height of their season but I just picked up a box that were big and juicy so thought…September is now my new strawberry season! The recipe [...]

Zucchini and Cream Cheese

September 13, 2010

I’ve grown my own zucchini for many years but in the past couple of years I’ve cut way back on a big garden with vegetables and now concentrate on growing a wide variety of herbs. That’s OK…it was getting to the point where at this time of year I did not want to see another [...]

Potato Chip Cookies

September 10, 2010

I started a recipe website in 1995; it was the very first web project I decided to do after classes in html and programming so that I could develop websites for the cable company where I worked; eventually leading to the start of my own web business. I kid that I created the Internet along [...]

We’re All in this Together

September 6, 2010

Some of you may have heard the story of Erika of Ivory Hut – she and her family recently lost their home in a horrific fire. This was the first sign I saw of the tragedy on Twitter last Thursday morning: Our house burned down last night. Barely made it out alive. Homeless, possession-less. But [...]

Jalapeño Cheeseburgers with Bacon and Grilled Onions

September 6, 2010

I like a good hamburger as much as the next guy…but the truth is, most often they aren’t the ones made on my grill! I’ve used a quick grilled hamburger most often when I was cooking when my kids where still at home for those dinners when there is no time for anything else; kids [...]
