Selection Sunday is this Sunday. Tip-off is a week from Thursday. You will need sustenance for the next few weeks of good basketball. I’ve offered you this initial recipe. I may try and put together a list of other delicious basketball friendly food, and soon I will be switching to St. Patty’s Day and Easter foods. But in this blog I share how to make buffalo popcorn with blue cheese. It’s tasty, easy and a complimentary snack to it’s more hearty sister, the buffalo wing.
How to Make Cultured Butter
The cultured butter recipe I am sharing today is rich in flavor. It can be used in cooking, baking, spread on toast, pancakes or if you’re me, eaten with french bread in lieu of cheese. I first discovered cultured butter when we lived in Paris. Bordier butter, crafted from the cream of the cows of Normandy was like a religious experience. I have been ruined for regular butter ever since. Upon returning to American I’ve been on a hunt for something coming remotely close. (Vermont creamery has the closest I’ve found). I continue my quest and am sharing my version today (although it doesn’t hold a candle to Bordier butter of whom I am a cult follower).
How to Make a Double Patty Burger (with Secret Sauce)
A lot of fun food events happening this month: St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and my personal favorite, March Madness! Today I’m sharing how to make a double patty burger for when you start camping out in front of the TV come March 17 (or Wednesday night dinner if you’re more into gardening than the holistic competition of good old American basketball).
Yummly
Just a quick blog today to let you know about a digital recipe organizer. Recipe organizers abound and while Pinterest is great, Yummly is particularly helpful. It not only is devoted specifically to food, it also categorizes the nutritional content for my recipes. Other than that though, they operate very similarly. I’ve been playing around with it…
Great Dinner Party Hosts Do These 5 Things
Last week I shared a blog on things great dinner party guests do. Today I’m sharing a counterpart to that blog, things that great dinner party hosts do. Creating an environment where your guests feel welcome and at ease (the cardinal rule in hosting) is a learned skill. My mother taught me everything I know about being gracious (which despite her great effort, is still lacking) and my husband has taught me the subtleties of making a guest feel at home. Here are some of the things I have learned.
Pan Seared Hanger Steak with Roasted Radishes
What is your go-to cut of steak to cook for dinner? Filet Mignons while high in tenderness have very little flavor. I love flank steak but the thinness and structure doesn’t give the same mouthfeel as the meaty flavorful prime rib. Rib-eyes are highly flavorful and fairly tender, but the price tag makes them more of a special treat than a standard Wednesday supper. Same goes for New York Strips. The answer to your Wednesday supper steak problem is the hanger steak.
Homemade Sage Compound Butter Recipe
When I was a little girl I used to sit at the bottom of the fridge, raise my arms and in a long soulful voice cry, “Butter….butter…butter.” Another time, my mother walked into the breakfast room to see me sitting on the table eating a stick of butter. My love affair with butter has not waned and my children now carry the butter banner. So because I love my son and he loves butter, I came up with this homemade sage compound butter recipe.
Great Dinner Party Guests Do These 5 Things
I’m going to tell you a true story. A story that will hopefully see what great dinner party guests do and do not do. And In case you’ve already mastered the lesson from my friend, I am also sharing five more things great dinner party guests do.
The Classic Lemon Drop Martini
Over eleven thousand people have pinned my memorial day cocktail blog. The Long Island Ice Tea seems to be of particular interest. Because of this, I’ve started working on a small ebook of classic cocktails everyone should know how to make. And one day soon, maybe before Marston graduates high school, I’ll finish it. One of the cocktails will be the Lemon Drop Martini (one of my personal favorites) so I’m sharing it with you all today as a little preview!
Stuffed Porchetta with Crispy Sage Potatoes
Today I’m sharing one of my new favorite recipes: Kumquat Stuffed Porchetta with Crispy Sage Potatoes. It is different, versatile and basically just a massive bacon roast. Bacon makes everyone happy except my friend Hope, but that sounds like a personal problem to me. This dish is wonderful for feeding a crowd and most of the prep work can be down in advance. Also, the leftovers make great sandwiches!

You don't need a culinary degree to make sophisticated food. I want to improve your food education. Sometimes I travel and wear new clothes, and I'll tell you about that, too.
