I made some homemade Cavatelli this week while my brother was here visiting. They are so easy to do and I’m sharing a link from my Facebook page so you can make them yourself. The recipe and Step by Step directions are very easy to follow<br />

One of the nicest perks about writing a food blog is that many major publishing houses contact you to ask if you would be interested in reviewing a new book that they have published and tell your readers about it. Sometimes I agree to do the review, other times if I don’t think my readers will enjoy the topic, I decline. There is never any compensation involved; I just do it for the fun of it and to keep a finger on the pulse of what’s new in the world of food.
Once in a while, a request comes along that is a little out of the ordinary.<br />
<br />
I was recently asked if I would look at a new book that was being published by Harper Collins, called More Than Words Can Say by Robert Barclay. The book is what I would categorize as a romance novel with a historical flare to it…what on earth would that have to do with a food blog. When I contacted the company, they said that there were some recipes in the book. I thought, why not?<br />
<br />
I always do cookbooks so this will be a little different.
I received my copy of the book while I was out of town and didn’t get to it for a few days. Once I picked it up, I didn’t put it down until I finished. I don’t know why it intrigued me, maybe it was all the references to Syracuse, New York, or the fact that the author was from Upstate, New York, and that I guess after living here so many years, I am now an Upstate, New Yorker myself (albeit, I’ll never give up my Brooklyn roots.)<br />
<br />
The book takes place in the 1940’s and in the present day through a series of flashback. Chelsea Enright inherits a cottage in the Adirondacks from her grandmother Brooke. She has no interest in the cottage and tells her grandmother’s attorney that she just wants to sell it. He tells her that her grandmother left a letter for her to read before making any decisions, and so she does. After the contents of the letter are revealed to her, she goes up to the cottage to check out the contents of the instructions left in her grandmother’s letter, thus uncovering some family secrets that she had known nothing about. In the course of staying in the cottage, she meets her new neighbor and tremendous changes take place in her own life as well. I don’t want to reveal too much more without giving away the entire plot.<br />
<br />
However, in the course of discovery, she also received a copy of a handwritten cookbook of her grandmother’s from her mother. She takes the book with her as she embarks on her journey to uncover the person that was her grandmother. Her grandmother was an accomplished artist and cook. She kept a record of her recipes, naming them after prominent people involved in World War II, which also sets the background for the flashbacks.
Chelsea begins to learn about her grandmother through her journal and her cookbook and begins to use the recipes and her discoveries to forge a new life for herself.
Although, there are not too many recipes in the book, those that are there are intriguing. In fact, I am going to make the MacArthuroni this week. Who could turn down a great Mac and Cheese?<br />
<br />
This book would make a great beach read, a great book club selection, and a great idea for a fun progressive dinner.
I urge my readers to get a copy of the book, share it with a few friends, and then to a progressive dinner based on a forties theme party. Dress up in clothes from the forties and bring a recipe to share from that time period – perhaps discuss a family member that you had that was involved in the war, a grandmother who had a favorite recipe from the time, We all need an excuse to party today, but with the economy being what it is, money is tight – very much like the times described in the book…become creative and make your own recipes from your past and just have some fun with this – you won’t be disappointed.<br />
<br />

Here are two recipes from the book that you might want to try as well:
<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>MacArthuroni and Cheese</b>
Of all the recipes listed here, this one is the most surefire favorite.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like a nice dish of macaroni and cheese! This recipe is especially good, because it’s made with two kinds of mushrooms and Gruyère cheese.
Just be sure to not skimp on the Gruyère, and use only good quality mushrooms. During World War II, General MacArthur made his famous pronouncement, “I shall return!” Make this dish correctly, and your guests will “return” repeatedly for second (and maybe even third) helpings!<br />
<br />
Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Serves 6–8<br />
<br />
2 tablespoons unsalted butter<br />
Good olive oil<br />
½ pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced into ½-inch pieces<br />
½ pound cremini mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced into ½-inch pieces<br />
3 tablespoons cream sherry<br />
Kosher salt<br />
1 pound pasta, such as cavatappi<br />
3 ounces white truffle butter<br />
½ cup all-purpose flour<br />
1 quart whole milk, scalded<br />
12 ounces (4 cups) Gruyère cheese, grated<br />
8 ounces (2½ to 3 cups) extra-sharp cheddar, grated<br />
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<br />
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
2 garlic cloves, chopped<br />
3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves<br />
1½ cups fresh white bread crumbs<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 375˚ F.<br />
<br />
Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan, add the mushrooms, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are tender. Add the sherry and continue to sauté for a few more minutes, until the sherry is absorbed. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a splash of olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. Add the pasta and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente. Drain well.
While the pasta cooks, melt the truffle butter in a large
(4-quart) saucepan and whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. Slowly whisk in the hot milk and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the white sauce is thickened and creamy.
Remove from the heat and add the Gruyère, cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, the pepper, and the nutmeg.<br />
<br />
Combine the pasta, sauce, and mushrooms in a large bowl and pour into a 10-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish.
Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until they’re minced. Add the bread crumbs and pulse to combine. Sprinkle the crumbs over the pasta and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the crumbs are golden brown. Serve hot.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We have been out of town on vacation and I didn't have a chance to do much grocery shopping. When faced with what to make for dinner, I thought, let's order out. My husband loves Chinese food, so I thought okay, that's what we'll do. Then I thought, I'm tired of eating out...in fact, I even took my crock pot to our time share because I hate to eat out all the time. Why order out, when you can make the same food in a short period of time in your own kitchen. I did a fast run to the grocery store for some flank steak and some peppers, and in less than an hour had the most delicious Pepper Steak ready to be placed on the table. You can do it too, at half the cost of takeout! Give it a try. The secret is in the prep work!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I was in a little bit of a hurry so this is not in my usual format, so bear with me...but it's all here and so easy to do. The complete recipe is at the bottom of the post. I had already done some of the prep work when I started to take pictures - sorry about that :(</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some of the things you will need. I used a bag of Success Rice </div><div style="text-align: center;">as well, because I was lazy and in a hurry...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wash and cut the peppers into rings; set aside.

You can use any color peppers that you want to, </div><div style="text-align: center;">but I think the recipe needs 4 peppers.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Peel and slice the onions into rings; set aside. Wash and cut the peppers into rings; set aside. I added the orange pepper into the recipe because I felt it could use another pepper. You can use any color peppers that you want to, but I think the recipe needs 4 peppers. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Take 9 tablespoons of the soy sauce and put it into a large plastic container for the marinade. Crush 4 cloves of the garlic, and add to the soy sauce. Add 1 tablespoon of the rice wine vinegar, 3 tablespoon of sherry, and 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar, ginger, and cornstarch. Mix well. Add the meat, and stir to coat thoroughly. Let marinade about 1 hour or so.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In a small bowl or measuring cup, place the remaining 9 tablespoons of soy sauce, remaining tablespoon of rice wine vinegar, remaining 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, remaining 3 tablespoons of sherry, and the remaining 3 whole cloves of garlic and set aside.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In a very large sauté pan or wok, heat about 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil with about 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Add the onions and cook until they start to soften. Sprinkle with the teaspoon of granulated sugar, and a little garlic salt to taste.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Continue cooking until they begin to caramelize and turn a nice rich brown. Remove to a plate and set aside. In the same pan, add all the peppers, sprinkle with a little garlic salt if desired, and sauté until they are softened and browned slightly on the exterior sides. Remove from the heat, and set aside.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Place about half of the meat into the same pan and stir fry quickly until they are nicely browned, this will take about 4-5 minutes, remove from the heat. Continue cooking the remaining meat until it is the same way. Add the rest of the meat, then add the peppers and onions back into the pan. Remove the whole cloves of garlic from the marinade mix. Add any of the remaining marinade mix, and the soy sauce mixture that you set aside earlier. Cook for a few minutes to reheat everything, and stir well to get everything coated with the sauce. Toss in the peanuts, and stir once again to coat the peanuts. Serve over white rice. </div><div class="MsoNormal">Serves 3-4</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Note: As with most of my recipes, I recommend doing all your prep work in advance. It makes it so much easy to put the dish together when everything is cut and prepped and right at your fingertips. This is a very quick meal to make once all the prep work is done. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The soy sauce is quite salty, so you may want to use just a little garlic salt, but I think the peppers and onions always need a little salt when sautéing. I put just a tiny bit of unsalted butter when preparing my rice for this dish and add nothing else to the rice so it picks up the soy sauce, and helps decrease the saltiness of the soy sauce. You can also use low sodium soy sauce if you prefer.</div><br />

My cousin Joanne has been sending me a ton of recipes this week, which I am supposed to be typing so future generations can enjoy some of our family favorites. Jo and I are taking the most amazing trip down aromatic memory lane. I can't wait to see her in a few weeks. Her brother Joe and I drool over Williams-Sonoma catalogs together... I need to move to Florida!<br />
<br />
She sent me a copy of the Arroz con Pollo that her mother used to make. She got the recipe from her sister's housekeeper who was of Spanish descent. I typed the recipe but some of the proportions were missing, so I did a little research and decided to make some changes to the recipe. I will put both recipes at the bottom of this post. It was absolutely wonderful! It does take a little while to prep and cook but well worth the time...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Do all your prep work ahead, wash your peppers, cut the onions, cut the bacon, cut the olives, etc. Open up all your cans, measure out all your liquids, cut, wash and dry your chicken. Place 5 cups of stock into a saucepan and midway through the preparation of the chicken bring it to a boil. Place the pieces of chicken on a large sheet of aluminum foil and season them with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and cumin to taste. Turn the pieces over and season the other side. Set a little bit of the bacon, olives, and pimentos aside for a garnish. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In a large Dutch oven (7 quart) or large stockpot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the pieces of bacon, and fry until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot, and set aside. Add the chicken (don’t crowd the pieces, cook in more than one batch if necessary) to the olive oil/bacon fat, and sauté until nicely browned about 10 minutes; turn the pieces over and brown for another 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a dish and set aside. Repeat with any remaining chicken. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Add 1 heaping teaspoon of Better than Bouillon to the saucepan, and add the remaining 6 ounces of broth from the small can to the pot. Stir to deglaze the pan. Add the onions, peppers, garlic, and sauté until golden and soft about 15 minutes. Season with a little additional garlic, salt and black pepper. I added another tablespoon of olive oil at this point. Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, wine, rice, pimentos, olives, peas, and bacon, and stir until well blended. Add the chicken back to the pot and pour the stock that has been brought to a boil over the chicken. Stir. Cover the pot and let simmer on a medium-low heat for about an hour and a half. Stir often, making sure to get down to the bottom of the pot so it doesn’t stick. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Cook for about 1½, tasting every 30 minutes to check to see if the rice is done. When it is not longer hard and most of the liquid is absorbed, the dish is finish.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems that everywhere you look someone is writing a recipe on their blog for Superbowl Sunday. Since my husband is an avid Eagle fan, we are forbidden to mention the Superbowl in this house, as he is still in mourning and wearing his green Eagles shroud!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the great things about writing a blog is that as you become more well known, you start to get wonderful e-mails from publicists, publishers, and a host of other people who want to tell you about their products. Today was one of those days, and I received an e-mail that stopped me from forfeiting my game...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In spite of my poor husbands team shortcomings, I feel it only fair to put at least one recipe on the blog that is Superbowl themed, as I am not a poor sport (or a football fan for that matter.) This mornings </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> She sent me this recipe with these two cute pictures, for a great appetizer for Superbowl Sunday. She said, "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought this fun football field-looking (healthy) appetizer complete with teeny tiny lightweight football players could be of interest to your readers.

Father's Day is rapidly approaching and like most of us there will be at least one tie in our gifts for the adoring and wonderful father's in our lives. I know that when my Dad was alive, I got a few for him every year. <br />

</div>A few days ago, I received an e-mail from a young college student named Matt who has a blog on Ties - and in honor of Father's Day, his blog was all about Tie Cakes... and he asked if I would link to his site.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8PmT5S7V3oCwU6MngdDvScVgFKhSmzMQbTza4Eld6Lsspt0agLjqfVLXVrIIyIFWbI_0hfI7ebkZo2YNnVCtg-unX7JBXtmtw7Z7U8fRewsTsX2_Io3FDeHRFS3LqwyWW6-NSQ9e8q4Q/s1600/tiecake12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8PmT5S7V3oCwU6MngdDvScVgFKhSmzMQbTza4Eld6Lsspt0agLjqfVLXVrIIyIFWbI_0hfI7ebkZo2YNnVCtg-unX7JBXtmtw7Z7U8fRewsTsX2_Io3FDeHRFS3LqwyWW6-NSQ9e8q4Q/s320/tiecake12.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
I checked out his blog and it is great, so Matt - here goes...<br />
<br />
What a fabulous idea, to accompany Dad's material ties with a succulent and sweet version - giving him something to sink his teeth into as well. This website is absolutely wonderful and so much more than just Cake Ties. It is a great information site as well - how to tie a tie, ties you can buy, tie stories, you name it - and you'll find it hear.<br />
<br />
Matt has designed a really cute site (spoken like the woman I am, i.e. old enough to be his mother) and I think you should all check it out.<br />
<br />
Here is the link for <a href="http://www.tiepedia.com/tie-blog/49-crafts/155-tie-cake">Tiepedia</a> - tell Matt that I sent you, and be sure to tell all your friends too!<br />
<br />
To all the fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, fathers-in-law, Uncles, Brother, Cousins, Friends, Godfathers, etc - have the most wonderful Father's Day...<br />
<br />
As for me I was blessed with a wonderful father, a wonderful father-in-law and a wonderful husband who is the best father to our four children...lucky me!<br />

</div>It seems like for the past few days, everything I've made has featured limes in some shape or form. I made the Vietnamese Lettuce Rolls, and they featured lime as one of the many flavors. I few days ago, it was guacamole with lime in it. This morning when I checked my e-mails from one of the Yahoo Groups I belong to, there was a recipe for Cuba Libre Cupcakes posted, that sounded delicious! Carlos, the person who posted it, said they he found it on another website. Now, having written a blog for quite some time, I didn't want to post a recipe without given credit to the person who developed the recipe. I did a little research, and a little googling and came up with a fabulous blog site for all of you to check out. It is Rachel Rappaport's Coconut & Lime. She originated this recipe and here is the link for all of you to see her posting: <a href="http://coconutlime.blogspot.com/2007/01/cuba-libre-cupcakes.html">Coconut & Lime Blog - Cuba Libre Cupcakes</a><br />
<br />
Please make sure you check out her blog, she has an amazing array of wonderful recipes. She is also the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1440502315?tag=coconutlime-20&camp=213381&creative=390973&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=1440502315&adid=0P0A00ACP9EPX73Z7DDK&">The Everything Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook</a>. She has been named as one of the 50 best food blogs and one of a very few blogs where the recipes are her original creations.<br />
<br />
I e-mailed her and got her permission to show a step by step guide to making the cupcakes.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This morning when I arrived back home from the dentist, I found two recipes on my kitchen table. One was for pizza dough and the other one was for a Greek Pasta Salad. I knew that I didn't clip them, so I wondered where they came from. My housekeeper, Carol, said she brought them in for me. She had gotten them from a friend of hers, Bob Fisher, that she used to work with years ago at BOCES. She had run into him at Walmart a few days ago, and he told her to try this recipe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I had been running around all day and was looking for a fast side dish to make with some barbecue chicken for tonights dinner, and thought this looked easy and sounded delicious. Since everyone in my house is suddenly on a diet (the wedding is coming quickly), I thought this was great. Not too much pasta, some olive oil, lots of veggies, okay, so the cheese and salami is not quite diet like, but not as bad as my usual fettuccine alfredo!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm sorry I didn't have time to do a step by step on this recipe, but I was trying to get it done quickly, and it's pretty basic to do, so I am just giving you the recipe on this one. Try it, I sampled a little to check the seasonings and it was delicious!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is the recipe:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 box of spiral pasta (Rotelli) cooked according to the package directions</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1/2 cup olive oil</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1/2 cup red wine vinegar (I used red wine with garlic)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I had garlic salt)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 teaspoon dried basil</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (I used a little less)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3/4 teaspoon sugar</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 red bell pepper, cut into thin slices and then finely diced</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2 bunches of scallions, finely chopped</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 can medium sized black olives, pitted, drained and cut in half</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">10 - 12 Kalamata Olives, pitted, and cut in half</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3/4 cup Genoa Salami (I bought a little under 1/2 pound and had them slice it about 1/4 - inch thick) cut into cubes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese (I bought about a 6 ounce piece, and crumbled it myself so it would be fresh)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, basil, oregano, pepper, and sugar with a whisk.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water according to the directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While the pasta is cooking, cut the tomatoes, red bell pepper, scallions, olives, and salami.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Add the cooled pasta to the dressing mix and toss. Add in all the vegetable and 3/4 of the feta cheese.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Add the remaining feta cheese on the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I like to serve it in a glass bowl so you can see all the colors. This is a nice summer salad that goes together quick quickly. Enjoy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A few weeks ago, we had dinner with our dear friends Bob and Sheila Smith. In the course of eating dinner we had a great conversation about food (what else??????) and Sheila was telling me about some lettuce wraps that she makes that sounded delicious. She learned about the wraps from a friend of hers, Pauline Tran, and then she combined her recipe, with a recipe that she had at a restaurant in Rhode Island, and came up with a version that she liked. I told Sheila that I would love to learn how to make the wraps and she promised that the next time she made them, she would invite us over to learn how to make them. Tonight, she called and said she was making the wraps and did I want to learn how to make them. I of course, jumped at the chance to learn something new...</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When Sheila was describing the wraps, she kept saying that every time you took a bite, a new taste would pop out and you would savor a new flavor. I wasn't quite sure what she meant, and although I wanted to learn the technique, I wasn't too sure about the ingredients and how they would combine together. I was fully prepared to learn the technique, but I really wasn't sure I was going to love this dinner. There are just nine ingredients needed to make the recipe; lettuce, rice paper wrappers (available from any Asian market), Hoisin sauce, ginger, shrimp, onions, dry roasted peanuts, limes, and toasted coconut. Now I am not a lover of shrimp, except when they are served hot and stuffed with crabmeat, ginger is another flavor that I am not crazy about either, so I was a little apprehensive - but I thought, why not let's give it a try.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This is also great in the summer because you can have a fast dinner and not turn the oven on. It is also versatile.

This morning, I was checking through the posts on<br />
cocinacubanaintheexile@yahoogroups.com which is a wonderful group of people that I have become friends with. They always have such great recipes as well as wonderful commentary on their Yahoo group.<br />
<br />
On of the members posted a recipe for Pumpkin Soup and for some reason, that just sounded wonderful. One of the reasons could be, that it is freezing and quite snowy here in upstate New York. I had some cans of pumpkin puree in the pantry that was leftover from Thanksgiving, so I thought, why not???<br />
<br />
I followed the directions as they were given except that I added a little more to the exact amounts. The recipe called for 1 large can of pumpkin, but I used 3 (14 ounce cans). I also used 1 (48 ounce) can of College Inn Chicken Broth. I also added some garlic salt when I was seasoning the soup. I am going to give you the recipe exactly as it was posted and then, I have retyped it with my changes. I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to photograph this today, but I will definitely make it again, and try to do a step by step the next time. I just wanted to get it posted as it was quite good. I will say that the directions say season with salt and pepper, and it took a good amount of salt so it wasn't bland. I think I might even want to try to do this in a crock pot on low heat the next time.<br />
<br />
Try this and let me know what you think. I may even try this next Thanksgiving and really rock the boat of my tradition children who always want their Traditional Thanksgiving Soup with the little meatballs.<br />
<br />
Everyone made a face when I told them what I was making, but when they tasted it....yummmmy!<br />
My son, who made the most faces, went back for seconds!<br />
<br />
I would like to give credit where credit is due for the soup, but the person who posted it didn't sign the post. I don't want to post their e-mail address on the blog, so if any of you are reading this and you know their name, please let me know.<br />
<br />
Here's the recipe (as written):<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">Pumpkin Soup</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />4 Tablespoons of butter<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil <br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />2 stalks of celery with the leaves, finely chopped <br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />Salt and pepper to taste<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />2 Bay leaves<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />1 (48 ounce) can College Inn Chicken Broth<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />1 Teaspoon Thyme<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />3 -5 Tablespoons Wondra Flour (you can use all purpose, but I love Wondra for thickening)<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />2 Cups of Heavy Cream </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">Garlic Salt to taste (I used about 2 teaspoons)<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />Fresh chives to taste (I didn't have any handy)<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />3 (15 ounce) cans Pumpkin Puree<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />Dash of Fresh Nutmeg<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />Mint for Decoration<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />Instructions:<br style="line-height: 1.22em;" /><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">I always prepare my vegetables in advance, it makes it so much easier to make your recipe. Dice your celery and onions and set them aside. Place the thyme into the flour and set aside.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br style="line-height: 1.22em;" />In a 5-6 quart stockpot, on medium to medium high heat, heat the olive oil and butter together until the butter is melted. Add the bay leaves, celery and onion. Season with a liberal amount of salt and pepper, until tender, about 5-7 minutes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">Whisk in the flour and thyme mixture, cooking for about a minute or two; then whisk in the stock slowly until all the flour is blended in, and no lumps are visible. Bring the broth to a boil, and then lower to a simmer. Add the pumpkin puree into the broth in large spoonfuls, whisking to keep it smooth. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">Whisk in the heavy cream. Add the garlic salt, and once the cream is well incorporated, taste and re-season with additional salt, pepper, and garlic salt. I had to turn up the heat just a little to get the soup hot, but stir this very frequently and watch it carefully so it doesn't burn. Keep on a very low heat until ready to serve. Remove the Bay Leaves. Garnish with a few chives and a little freshly grated nutmeg.</span></span><br />

There have been lots of wonderful things happening in my life and I have been enjoying the hiatus. I am actually enjoying cooking without having to take pictures of everything I do for a change. I have been baking and cooking. I have used my cookbook all summer long. I made a delicious Rum Cake the other day that was to die for. I actually was going to take pictures but they ate it so fast there wasn't time. You can enjoy many of the recipes on the blog and hundreds more in my cookbook, Cooking with Love.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_JlYFAfnSCswDWMrxcRHeyjqtUY927GtIYCx0-jMAjQrffH2HnwGkNqsxLMC0ZMo7mN88RKM6FKXi2i3jPDIvZPpRLAmb72_GLPj5XiuQtX5s9DbMGm1tc8Lo6Owr4kVQjroHjcBvvM/s1600-h/Dymo+picture2.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_JlYFAfnSCswDWMrxcRHeyjqtUY927GtIYCx0-jMAjQrffH2HnwGkNqsxLMC0ZMo7mN88RKM6FKXi2i3jPDIvZPpRLAmb72_GLPj5XiuQtX5s9DbMGm1tc8Lo6Owr4kVQjroHjcBvvM/s400/Dymo+picture2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367323188547512914" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 175px; " /></a></div><div>Think about buying a copy for yourself.

Since I was missing the blog, and felt like a part of me was missing, I decided to do a post about a friend of mine, Tiffany McCauley.<br /><br />We met because we are fellow food bloggers, and like all food bloggers, we like to support and expose people to the blogs that we love. Tiffany's blog is all about cookies...she is the ultimate cookie baker. If you want to know about cookies, from how to bake them to how to open your own cookie business, Tiffany is your go t0 source. In fact, Tiffany is so good at what she does that she just finished writing an eBook called “The Sweeter Side Of Life - How to start your own cookie business, avoid pitfalls and find success." The book sells for $14.95. Here is the link to purchase<a href="http://ww12.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm?userid=E3262786&product=eBook%20-%20The%20Sweeter%20Side%20Of%20Life%20-%20How%20To%20Start%20Your%20Own%20Cookie%20Business&price=14.95&return=http://www.thecookieblog.com/start-your-own-cookie-business/"> "The Sweeter Side of Life."</a><br /><br />Tiffany wrote the eBook in response to the numerous questions that she was receiving from people who were asking her advice on how she started her own cookie business. She decided that rather than try to repeatedly answer the same questions, she would put her answers into a book so people could read it and keep it as a reference source.<br /><br />This book covers everything from FDA regulations to marketing on a small budget, as well as giving tons of resources and contacts for many cookie business needs. She also covers how to price your cookies and how to find balance between your business and your life.<br /><br />This book is a must have if you have any desire at all to open a cookie business, or if you are just a cookie foodfanataholic!<br /><br />Tiffany started Ohma's Cookies in 2008. It was a small, one-woman operation that grew surprisingly quickly. In fact, it started to grow so quickly that she just couldn't handle it on her own any longer. With a young son at home, she sadly decided that her cookie business would just have to wait. She closed her kitchen indefinitely, but not being one to give up easily, she continued with her dream by writing a blog<a href="http://www.thecookieblog.com/"> TheCookieBlog.com</a>, and it was there where she first began to counsel others on how to start their own businesses. This arrangement has turned out to be the best of both worlds for Tiffany. She can take care of her son, and still be involved in the wonderful world of cookies. Her blog is just fabulous, please check it out.<br /><br />Tiffany generously contributed one of her favorite recipes for me to share will all my readers called Agave Sweetened, Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies.<br /><br />This recipe is one that will be in her upcoming eBook "Naturally Sweet Drop Cookies - Cookies Sweetened with Agave Nectar." Tiffany says, "This is the only place you'll find this recipe, other than my upcoming book... so enjoy! These cookies are a staple around my house. They are soft, chewy and full of chocolatey goodness."<br /><br />A note from Tiffany: "When I bake, I bake by weight, not volume because it’s so much more exact."<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Agave Sweetened, Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Ingredients:</span><br /><br />240 gm Whole Wheat Pastry Flour<br />200 gm Grain Sweetened Chocolate Chips<br />2 Tbs. Cinnamon<br />1 tsp Baking Powder<br />200 gm Butter (softened)<br />240 gm Agave (light)<br />2 Eggs (room temperature)<br />2 tsp Vanilla<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Directions:</span><br /><br />Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.<br /><br />In a bowl, mix your flour, chocolate chips, cinnamon and baking powder. Stir well to properly coat the chocolate chips with the flour mixture, and set aside.<br /><br />In a mixing bowl, cream your butter. Add agave and blend. Add eggs and vanilla, and blend again.<br /><br />Using a spoon or spatula, add the flour mixture to your bowl of wet ingredients. Stir well.<br /><br />Using a size 40 cookie dough scoop or two regular teaspoons, scoop or spoon your dough onto your cookie sheet. Be sure to allow enough room as these cookies will spread.<br /><br />Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of your cookies are just barely golden brown, and the middle looks baked through.<br /><br />Makes approximately 30 cookies.Foodfanataholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17620244471968577568noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982333821763925461.post-11397356160400155902009-05-26T00:51:00.000-04:002011-03-13T21:50:44.242-04:00Chicken PillowsI was looking at some other food blogs recently and one of them was called <a href="http://realmomkitchen.blogspot.com/">Real Mom Kitchen</a>. She had a recipe on her blog called Chicken Pillows and I had some leftover chicken, so I thought I'd try it. Of course, never being one to follow a recipe as it was written, this is my version.<br /><br />If you would like to see the original post from Real Mom Kitchen click the link for<br /><a href="http://realmomkitchen.blogspot.com/2008/11/chicken-pillows.html">Chicken Pillows</a>. Laura has some really wonderful recipes on her blog so be sure to check if out when you get the chance.<br /><br />This was a great way to use up the leftover chicken. Sort of a cross between a chicken pot pie and a chicken croquette. I loved the sauce. I think if I make them again, I might use the regular size crescent rolls and make them a little smaller. I had enough filling left over to have done one more pillow, but the jumbo crescent rolls only come 6 to a package, so you can only get 3 instead of four pillows.<br /><br />Here is my version of Laura's Chicken Pillows<br /><br />2-3 cups chicken, cooked and cubed or shredded<br />1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, softened<br />2 -3 scallions, sliced thinly<br />1 (4 ounce) can chopped mushrooms<br />1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced<br />4 tablespoons butter, softened<br />¼ teaspoon salt<br />1 teaspoon garlic salt<br />Dash of pepper<br />¼ teaspoon Mrs. Dash<br />¼ cup milk<br />1 cans of crescent rolls (I used the new Premium size)<br />½ cup Bread crumbs<br />¾ cup Panko Crumbs<br />¼ cup grated cheese<br />1 stick melted butter<br /><br /><br />Melt two tablespoons of butter in a frying pan. Add the red onions and sauté a few minutes until soft; add the scallions and mushrooms. Sauté for a few more minutes until nicely caramelized. Add in the other 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt.<br /><br />In large bowl, mix together cream cheese and the milk with a fork. Add vegetable mix, additional salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in chicken and set aside. Open crescent rolls and carefully unroll dough. Separate each tube into 4 rectangles. Seal seam in center of each rectangle. Place one heaping tablespoon on half of each rectangle. Fold over other half of roll dough and seal edges, creating a pillow. Brush the top of each pillow with melted butter and then Panko/Breadcrumb mix, butter side down. Brush the other side and dip it into Panko/Breadcrumb mix. Place on baking sheet that has been Sprayed with PAM. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

I need a spring cleaning of the brain so to speak. There is a lot going on in my life right now, and I want to continue to do the blog in the same format, but unfortunately, it is consuming a lot of my time. I will continue to post periodically, but not on a daily basis for awhile. I have lots of recipes to bring you, but the format I am using now is very time consuming.<br /><br />I will be attending the Fancy Food Show at the end of June and hope to bring you lots of news and new product information from there.<br /><br />I didn't want any of you to wonder what happened, but I need to focus on life for a little while, things like cleaning out my closets, planning an event of two, just some day to day things I was running out of time to do.<br /><br />Please check back periodically!Foodfanataholichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17620244471968577568noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982333821763925461.post-56215094954670444342009-05-22T05:18:00.004-04:002009-05-22T21:24:19.294-04:00Not the Earl of Sandwich - but a Sandwich Contest<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh89zeZulTvf9JmjbvcYmECwmri8koCrSwZacH8Z2lsu39YY7lPgcqoGVmaPTRu1ub01M-UtpNW0_2ySpucXE2DPJ2OVqIWu5eVhtUcab54opMHPgyl28lUBKV_gztdM_V8A_BlnD3jsbs/s1600-h/MZ-logo.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 162px; height: 178px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh89zeZulTvf9JmjbvcYmECwmri8koCrSwZacH8Z2lsu39YY7lPgcqoGVmaPTRu1ub01M-UtpNW0_2ySpucXE2DPJ2OVqIWu5eVhtUcab54opMHPgyl28lUBKV_gztdM_V8A_BlnD3jsbs/s320/MZ-logo.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338501340135618354" border="0" /></a><br />The warm weather is on its way, and along with that comes picnic season, boating season, family day trips, and included in all those activities, is the picnic lunch. Most of us pack some type of sandwich in our picnic lunches, along with several other types of goodies. Now comes a chance for you to shine and tell the world what your favorite sandwich is.<br /><br />One of my publicist friends just let me know that the Mezzetta Company, based in Napa Valley is running a contest for a fantastic sandwich recipe. The sandwich can be a cold sandwich, a hot sandwich, or a vegetarian sandwich.<br /><br />The Mezzettas are offering $25,000 and a trip to Napa Valley as the grand prize - not too shabby to create a fabulous sandwich!<br /><br />Entries for the contest will be accepted starting this Monday and running through Labor Day.<br />The Mezzettas are known for their pepper and olive products among a whole host of other goodies. You should check out their website for some great recipes at <a href="http://www.mezzetta.com/">Mezzetta</a>.<br /><br />To find out the specifics of the contest, here is the direct<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.makethatsandwich.com/rules/index.php"> link</a>. Please read the rules carefully as you must include two or more of the wonderful products that Mezzetta produces in your sandwiches (specialty peppers, olives or other gourmet foods are among your choices).<br /><br />Just so you have some idea of what they are looking for, here is last year's grand prize winner...<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHI7FoQzvq-uKBcVbpz-ZxGTLT35xxJzeUGcBN3Qxf7mWcaRz2fHAV_aWsOTB7VIXvqA1kC4QWH-z4yE2lrU-VMasjUArrmCtxczraW_lj2sbiSC6K09CM7k3GSkeZEptuObNdXt7iLVQ/s1600-h/h2_inner.jpg.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 126px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHI7FoQzvq-uKBcVbpz-ZxGTLT35xxJzeUGcBN3Qxf7mWcaRz2fHAV_aWsOTB7VIXvqA1kC4QWH-z4yE2lrU-VMasjUArrmCtxczraW_lj2sbiSC6K09CM7k3GSkeZEptuObNdXt7iLVQ/s320/h2_inner.jpg.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338502311231667458" border="0" /></a>Spanish Style Grilled Cheese Sandwich<br />Edwina Gadsby<br /><br />Recipe Category: Hot<br />Prep Time: 10 minutes<br />Total Time: 20 minutes<br />Servings: 4<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYZrIqnT8R_8cQRGp7e-wPTsYo0Hq7JH-vC9talc-RRepfjHQlwzoTC0OIgKa7sM3OuoIRpeinu_R8f-zcYFC2A2N8lPJPa1K0VYbH5oOXnA_araedfMIXoBCFa419KLoFwgXt5pUcOv8/s1600-h/hot_sandwich_2.jpg.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYZrIqnT8R_8cQRGp7e-wPTsYo0Hq7JH-vC9talc-RRepfjHQlwzoTC0OIgKa7sM3OuoIRpeinu_R8f-zcYFC2A2N8lPJPa1K0VYbH5oOXnA_araedfMIXoBCFa419KLoFwgXt5pUcOv8/s320/hot_sandwich_2.jpg.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338502568569390754" border="0" /></a><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices peasant bread or other artisan bread<br />3 cups shredded Manchego cheese<br />3 ounces thinly sliced Serrano ham or prosciutto<br /><br />Smoky Paprika Roasted Pepper & Tomato Topping:<br /><br />1 tablespoon sherry vinegar<br />1 teaspoon smoked paprika<br />3 to 4 tablespoons Mezzetta Extra Virgin Olive Oil - divided<br />1 tablespoon Mezzetta Crushed Garlic<br />1 cup Mezzetta Roasted Red Pepper Strips<br />1 cup Mezzetta Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil<br />3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or cilantro<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />For Topping: Whisk together vinegar, paprika, 1 tablespoon Mezzetta Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Mezzetta Crushed Garlic in bowl.

It is one of their most requested things for me to make when they come home. They always want to take some home with them. This is a really easy recipe to make. You can make it in two large loaf pans, but I always use mini loaf pans and the recipe yields about 6-7 mini loaves.<br />

<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">BANANA BREAD FEINER</span></span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Elise Feiner</span><br />
<br />
½ cup vegetable oil (Wesson®)<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
2 eggs, slightly beaten<br />
3 ripe bananas, mashed with a fork<br />
2 cups all purpose flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
½ teaspoon baking powder<br />
½ teaspoon salt<br />
3 tablespoons milk<br />
½ teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
1 (6 or 12 ounce) bag miniature chocolate chips, depending on your preference<br />
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Beat oil and sugar together with a hand mixer or KitchenAid stand mixer (or whatever brand you use), until well combined. Add eggs and mashed banana pulp and beat well. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add sifted dry ingredients, milk, and vanilla. Mix well and stir in chocolate chips, and nuts if desired. Pour into mini loaf pans or a large loaf pan which has been greased and floured. Bake at 350° for about 20 to 25 minutes for the mini loaves and 60 minutes for the large loaf. Cool well. Serves 6 normal people or one to two growing Feiner Boys! Use leftover slices for French Toast.<br />

Serves 6 normal people or one to two growing Feiner Boys!<br />
Use leftover slices for French Toast (but don't count on leftovers, :)<br />
These freeze very well.<br />

She has sent me so many recipes that I wish I had nothing better to do than cook, and of course eat! Fortunately, I have been able to make a few of her wonderful recipes (and hope to make many more) which I have posted here on the blog.<br /><br />Recently, she sent me her Shrimp Scampi, which was so incredibly delicious, that I had to post it here so you can all try it!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shrimp Scampi on Wheat Capellini</span></span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Anne Murch-Gutierrez</span><br /><br />½ cup Olive oil<br />6 tablespoons Whipped butter<br />¾ cup Chicken stock<br />6 to 7 large garlic cloves - peeled, diced and minced<br />1 large shallot - peeled and diced<br />2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian oregano<br />½ cup Italian parsley minced<br />6 to 7 Basil leaves rolled and chiffonade (thinly sliced)<br />10 - 12 sliced button mushrooms<br />1 pound raw medium-sized shrimp peeled, deveined and butterflied<br />1 teaspoon Lemon Garlic Garni<br />1 teaspoon Mc Cormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning<br />½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes<br />Shredded Parmesan, Romano and Asiago Cheeses<br />1 box wheat Capellini spaghetti<br />½ teaspoon dried minced garlic<br />Sea salt<br /><br />In a 12” pan pour in the olive oil. The oil should completely cover the bottom of the pan. Heat on low heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, and allow to cook until translucent. Now add the whipped butter, mushrooms, chicken stock, oregano, parsley, Lemon Garlic Garni, Mc Cormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes; allow to simmer. This will reduce - then add shrimp. When the shrimp turns opaque it is done. This will happen very quickly. Turn heat off and sprinkle with basil.<br /><br />Preparing the spaghetti can be done while preparing the scampi.<br /><br />In a large pot add a large amount of water top with a small amount of olive oil and ½ teaspoon of minced garlic. Bring the water to a boil. When water is boiling then add sea salt and the spaghetti. Cook about 6 to 7 minutes until al dente. Use tongs to lift out most of the spaghetti (about 3/4ths) and drain the rest.<br /><br />This is what you will need for the recipe (note, Anne used fresh herbs, but she is in a far warmer climate than I am, so I was forced to use dry herbs (use about 1/3rd the amount if using dried herbs - use fresh if you can.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI9K1w-EDG2fpiavUXqApGfE2Ug0XMlD2Scp9PGjmv2Eo1-M5640Pd7FpSla4flpu94roMWD4IsArT8-KGxoamqvRPUWz0SBtUoGbqE-UiQcouVOvenK6uclt8YCwTCBxT6vqoiopydzM/s1600-h/IMG_7459.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Just eat the good ones with real beef, you know, like the ones from that mom-and-pop diner down the street, ... And it's so good that when you take a bite out of that burger, you just know somewhere in the world a vegan is crying." - Homer Simpson<br /><br />When Bobby Flay first started on the Food Network so many years ago, I wasn’t a fan. I thought he was cocky and arrogant, but I had to admit, he had charisma. I remember one of his earliest shows with Jackie Malouf (who by the way disappeared never to be heard from again), Boy Meets Grill, and some others. I began to change my mind, and decided his cockiness was just New York City moxie, that those of us born in the city seem to carry with us. I then, with the exception of Iron Chef, which I don’t really enjoy, started to watch him in earnest. The boy has matured into a fine man and a Top Chef. I started to buy his cookbooks and love his throw downs – hear that Bobby, I’m up for the challenge!<br /><br />In his ninth and latest book, Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries, and Shakes, I think you see the essence of who Bobby Flay really is. I simple kid who made it big in New York City, working his tail off to be a success, but at heart is just a local boy who has lived his dream, and now wants to share it with the world.<br /><br />Bobby’s newest restaurant, which opened in Lake Grove, Long Island (NY),in the Smithhaven Mall, is the culmination of a life long dream of Bobby’s, to own a successful burger joint, and <a href="http://www.bobbysburgerpalace.com/">Bobby’s Burger Palace</a> is that reality. In fact, Bobby has opened two others as well, one in<br />Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, New Jersey, and another in Bergen Town Center, in Paramus, New Jersey.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDsQwqtznEFJFBoD-QZmW1pqs54HmmKxiL_N1IUMo7lmqTnYiKF_1axxz5lehIuA6pfG8DpKAkKC1e1FnODqpYue720gxWuUPIHP-BJfdsF2uUgroFpIb7e6LRVTTLo-Kzjst2yTClfUPE/s1600-h/IMG_2698.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDsQwqtznEFJFBoD-QZmW1pqs54HmmKxiL_N1IUMo7lmqTnYiKF_1axxz5lehIuA6pfG8DpKAkKC1e1FnODqpYue720gxWuUPIHP-BJfdsF2uUgroFpIb7e6LRVTTLo-Kzjst2yTClfUPE/s320/IMG_2698.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329276113603687138" border="0" /></a><br />As Bobby tells it, when he goes home at night, he doesn’t want foie gras, or caviar, he craves a nice tasty burger with great fries and a shake. He wrote this book to share his passions with his fans, and those who crave a better burger. To be fair, this is not a book for vegetarians. For the health conscious, you can substitute turkey, and there are some tuna burgers.<br /><br />Bobby starts with the essentials of what makes a great burger – his preference is ground Angus chuck, some good Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. His philosophy is the burger is simple and then you build the toppings. From there, he goes on to describe the skillets, cooking times for the perfect burger, and then the cheeses. From there, he takes you through about 30 of the most delicious hamburgers you can imagine. From the Cheyenne Burger topped with Cheddar Cheese, bacon, barbeque sauce and French fried onions, to the California Burger topped with Avocado relish, onions, cilantro, lime, jalapeño chilies, to the Arthur Avenue Burger topped with olive oil, garlic, red chili flakes, ketchup, oregano, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper and a Fontina cheese Frico, there is something for everyone.<br /><br />Then, it’s on to the fries, and the secret to the perfect fry – no telling – you have to buy the book! He goes through the different types of fries, regular fries, shoestring, steak house, oven roasted, sweet potato fries, plantain fries, Beer batter onion rings, buttermilk onion rings, if your mouth isn’t watering by now, check your pulse and see if you’re breathing!<br /><br />From there, it’s on to condiments, sauces, and seasoning mixes, pickles, ketchup, jalapeños, recipes for spice mixes, pickling, you name it, it’s here.<br /><br />To end this book on a sweet note, the final chapter is dedicated to the milkshake. If you can’t find shake you like, I can’t imagine where you would go from here. There are over twenty different types of milkshakes, from Blackberry Cheesecake to Dark Chocolate with Fluffy Coconut Cream, to Toasted Marshmallow, to Black and Whites, to a Lemon Meringue Pie Milkshake…they are all here and look good enough to lick the pages.<br />I may have to go right out and order a milk shake maker, lol<br /><br />The food photography in this book, taken by Ben Fink, makes you want to go in and eat the pages, as you read the book. It gives new meaning to devouring the book!<br /><br />Of all of Bobby’s books, this is my favorite thus far because, these are recipes you can successfully make at home, and your family (unless they are vegetarians will love them) although I bet a vegetarian could get some ideas for their toppings on a veggie burger too.<br />I would definitely recommend buying this book, whether or not you are a fan of Bobby’s is inconsequential, it’s a great cookbook, standing on its own merit. It will be a welcome addition to any cookbook collection, a great gift for a Bachelor, a great Father’s Day gift for the Dad who loves to grill, a great book for newlyweds, singles, just about anyone who enjoys a nice juicy burger.<br /><br />As Julia Child once said, “"It is the Americans who have managed to crown minced beef as hamburger, and to send it round the world so that even the fussy French have taken to le boeuf hache, le hambourgaire."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Contents:</span><br /><br />Introduction<br />Burgers<br />French Fries, Potato Chips, and Onion Rings<br />Condiments and Seasoning<br />Milkshakes<br />Resources and Acknowledgments<br />Index<br /><br />This book is a culmination of Bobby’s dreams, and you will feel a part of his world. I think you get to know a little of the man behind the persona when reading this book. Filled with one delicious recipe after another, it’s like Bobby’s way of giving back to his followers, a cookbook for the real people.<br /><br />Take a deep breath, can you smell the grill heating, smell the aroma of the burgers grilling, the onions sautéeing, the fresh smells of the fruits and berries in the shakes. Are you hungry yet? Start grilling, ‘tis the season!<br /><br />I always include a recipe from the book I am reviewing and this is no exception. As always, it is difficult to make a choice, but I chose the Cheyenne Burger because it looked so good, and I am a fan of those delicious shoestring onion rings<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimGDhOW6_qBgmC3n3jmCjQA4-QtxNhBAO9I4nc9dst1A5cjn6XzOpRuIfz5NBLsrqTKUFOFqqEqnpjHEkdRlbhn5QkL8a-LHXJSLWh_AZsJBFx0lA9oCrXh-V2NBlyZLTsBkQ6GKgkehE7/s1600-h/Cheyenne+Burger.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 270px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimGDhOW6_qBgmC3n3jmCjQA4-QtxNhBAO9I4nc9dst1A5cjn6XzOpRuIfz5NBLsrqTKUFOFqqEqnpjHEkdRlbhn5QkL8a-LHXJSLWh_AZsJBFx0lA9oCrXh-V2NBlyZLTsBkQ6GKgkehE7/s320/Cheyenne+Burger.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329272096429417394" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cheyenne Burger</span></span><br /><br />1½ pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean) or ground turkey (90 percent lean)<br />Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />1½ tablespoons canola oil<br />8 slices smoked sharp cheddar cheese<br />4 hamburger buns, split, toasted, if desired<br />½ cup barbeque sauce (recipe in the book)<br />8 slices crisp cooked bacon (optional)<br />½ recipe shoestring onion rings (recipe in the book)<br />Chopped flat leaf parsley leaves, for garnish<br /><br />1.

(See pictures below - I like to run a fork up the sides of the cucumber, slice them in half, remove the seeds and them slice them into a half-moon shape) Peel and very thinly slice the onions in circles and place on top of the cucumbers. Mix well and refrigerate. Prepare a day in advance where possible to allow flavors to blend. You can adjust any of the ingredients to taste.

Cut the potatoes into large cubes. I usually cut them in half and then thirds.<br />Place the potatoes in cold water until you are ready to boil them. Place the potatoes in a large pot filled with cold water. Add some salt to the water (about 2 tablespoons.) Bring the potatoes to a boil, and let cook about 20 minutes until fork tender. (This means that a fork, easily pierces the potatoes.)<br /><br />Have your KitchenAid or mixer set up while the potatoes are cooking. (A hand mixer will work as well. If you like them on the lumpier side you can even use a hand masher. My family likes them creamy and smooth) set up, while the potatoes are cooking. Drain the potatoes well. Place the butter and the cream cheese in the bottom of the bowl. Add the potatoes, turn the mixer on low, so the potatoes don't come flying out of the bowl. As soon as they start to mash, you can increase your speed. Add the cream slowly, you don't want the potatoes to be soupy. You may need the whole half pint, you may not, this will depend on the size of the potatoes. If they are not creamy enough, you can add a little milk as well.
