Fat Tuesday: Bacon Bar Part 2 Spiced Candied Bacon
Next is my sassy twist on candied bacon. It is salty, sweet and muy caliente! This candied bacon is totally legit! It is also multi-function! As easy as it is to eat this on it’s own, it can also be used as a topping for other sweet treats. Crumbled atop cookies or cupcakes or as…
The Crime Scene: Cherry Kumquat Jam
I made this jam and jarred it. Just then, I got a call that my hairdresser could fit me in! The angels were singing as I rushed to the salon with ridiculous roots and straw like ends… Upon my return, freshly coifed and blonde again (at least, that’s the color as of late), I enter…
Rainbow Salad
I just tried this out on my guinea pigs… errr… girlfriends, last night. It totally killed! I wanted to serve some sort of snack but I wanted to start with items that were already in my pantry instead of hitting the store for every single ingredient. My base ingredients were a can of corn, a…
Fat Tuesday: BACON
I thought it would be fun to have a reoccurring thematic post. I got the idea from my friend Jane over at http://www.theheritagecook.com If you don’t know her, you should make a point to do so. She is fantastic and unlike me, is an actual cook/chef/recipe developer extraordinaire. Seriously, go there. Jane does “Chocolate Monday”….
Peach Lavender Jam
I have a vivid childhood memory about jam. I was in the grocery store with my grandma and I asked for some jelly that had Disney characters on it. The marketing totally worked there, Walt. My gramma (That’s how I’ve always spelled it when referring to her) looked at me like I was crazy and…
The Play Date Meets The Snack-Lace
Aaaahhhhh, the play date. We schedule these gatherings for reasons that vary from parent to parent. Some moms do it to add to their child’s development in a very purposeful way. Some mamas arrange play dates to get out of the house and see some new faces. A parent may have a play date with…
Srirachacha
I went on a tour of the Sriracha factory with my family. They had this giant bin of their peppers by the door with a sign that read “Take One”. I began stuffing them into my purse (it wasn’t nearly large enough) and in the pockets of my children. My husband, he took one. Upon…
Pink Eggs & Ham
This is a variation on an appetizer that I had at a wonderful farm to fork style restaurant in Downtown LA called The Blue Cow Kitchen. You will want to make plenty of these as they will go fast! If you are having 8 friends over, I would suggest making the entire dozen (24 halves)….
Limoncello Mousse Shooters
Limoncello Dessert “Shooters” Let me begin by saying that these are “shooters” only in the sense that they are served in a shot or cordial glass. They will be eaten with a small spoon. I love limoncello! So much so, that a shot (or two) would be completely sufficient as dessert as far as I’m…
Chili, lime, cilantro cocktail
This cocktail was inspired by a visit to the Sriracha factory in Irwindale, Ca. My family and I toured the site and were able to see the entire process front the arrival of the chilis to the tufted t tt <a href="http://tedtterttffgddrtr trftgrryftdtzdtdegtlll”>zScott robot who packed the pallets! SO cool. You will need the following:…
