passionfruit punch

Friday, April 24, 2009

This is my favorite drink from Food 101 Atlanta. While I don’t have a recipe to follow, I’ve tried to recreate what I’ve had at the restaurant. It’s become one of my favorites, especially as the weather heats up… The important part is the J. Love passionfruit vodka, which gives the drink [...]

I’ve been looking for something new for the breakfast rotation lately. I mean, the buttermilk pancakes and french toast are fantastic, and I’m all over the eggs and grits with texas pete, but sometimes you just want something different. So I was excited to see an entire article dedicated to fresh breakfast ideas [...]

This isn’t my Gramma’s recipe, but I still think she’d approve of this well-researched version from The New Best Recipe cookbook. The biscuit topping is made with yogurt, which I’ve never tried before. This gives it a chewy texture, less crumbly and, well, biscuit-y, than I’m used to. I love mixing in [...]

Would it be completely ridiculous to admit I made such an indulgent breakfast on a weekday? Well, I did. No special occasion either. I just had 2 overripe bananas and a couple of half-stale loaves of brioche from the sale rack of the farmer’s market that I had to get rid of, [...]

I find myself cooking a lot more mexican-inspired dishes in the summertime. Maybe because there are so many options that involve fresh seasonal vegetables, fish, less elaborate cooking (and shorter cooking times), and especially because spicy is the best complement to the southern heat and humidity. And what goes best with spicy mexican [...]

you don’t have to skip dessert: strawberry shortcake

I like eating healthy, but I also don’t like the idea of depriving myself of dessert. Not that I’m going to make chocolate kahlua cheesecake every night, but if I’m craving something sweet, I am going to have it. Sometimes that’s a fun date to get a gelato, and sometimes that’s making a [...]

strawberry pie

This pie was featured in the June 2008 issue of Gourmet magazine - and the editors raved about it. I decided to try it because (a) there’s an influx of local fresh strawberries down at WF right now (b) A loves cut strawberries with desserts, so I figured he’d like this and (c) a [...]

berry brioche bread pudding

When I suggested bread pudding for dessert, my boyfriend, who has never had it before, screwed up his nose and said “sounds disgusting.” I had to explain that it’s like having french toast for dessert to get him even slightly interested. This is a great recipe for bread pudding — easy to make [...]
