Let me start out right away by telling you that this is not Andalusian Gazpacho, which includes bread in the recipe and is more of a puree. It’s my version of Mexican Gazpacho, with no attempt whatsoever to remain “authentic.” Okay, if you must know the truth, I used to make loads of salsa fresca….
Lime Sherbet
I found this recipe from Southern Living on MyRecipes.com. It’s incredibly easy to make (assuming you have an ice cream machine.) Cool & refreshing, and very tasty! Mine didn’t come out as creamy as I’d like, but that’s my fault. Or rather, the fault of my crummy freezer. It just couldn’t keep up with the…
Coffee Ice Cream
Oh, this is decadent! I’ve tried a few ways of making coffee ice cream, and have found this to be the easiest & tastiest. I learned the hard way to use decaf coffee. Unless, of course, you’re eating ice cream for breakfast & don’t mind being awake for quite a while. As with most scrumptious food,…
Salt Slab Sirloin
We were at the Cazenovia, NY farmers market last week with Claudia & Dave, and came across a booth for the Syracuse Salt Company. They had samples of lots of different salts and these gorgeous pink Himalayan salt slabs. I just had to have one, especially once I learned that you can cook on them….
Crispy Rice Treats
Yeah, you know the ones I mean. Why bother to post about those, they’re all the same, right? After all, there are only 3 ingredients. Ahh, that’s where you’re wrong, my friend. There’s a reason mine were always the first ones gone at the bake sale. There are 2 tricks to making these tasty treats…
Buttermilk Chicken Salad
Some years ago, my friend Linda & I went on a quilt shop hop. We ended up in Woodstock around lunchtime and were delighted to discover that the shop was serving chicken salad wraps for lunch. They received so many compliments that they included the recipe in their next newsletter. In fact, the chicken salad…
Planked Swordfish with Blueberry Jazz
On my way home from PT, I thought I’d stop to see if Gade had any dill plants left. Mine bolted, & I neglected to buy seed. While there, I found – yay! – they also had fresh sweet corn & blueberries! And some Oscar’s smoked cheese, but that’s for tomorrow. And, lucky me, Fin fishmonger is just a bit further…
Smoky Grilled Rosemary-Balsamic Chicken With Green Beans & Kamut
Sublime! The smoky flavors of the plank & cheese meld perfectly with the rosemary and balsamic. It does require a little advance prep, but it’s so worth it! Ten to fifteen minutes to whip up the marinade in the morning, and an hour to cook the kamut before dinner. While it’s cooking, there’s plenty…
