In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I was originally going to go with a traditional (or not-so traditional) Irish beer, but then I saw something on the shelf that was practically calling out my name. Well, part of my last name at least. I’ve had Gritty McDuff’s beers before, but this was the first time […]
Jeff’s back Guest-clacking for us again, after sharing his Ultimate Burger recipe with us last week…. How many times have you gotten home after a long hard day of work, exhausted and to tired to cook? I have here some of my favorite and fast dinner recipes that are guaranteed to fill you up and […]
I just had to share this little newsy tidbit with all of you, because it warms the cockles of my heart, hearing news stories like this, celebrating healthy food and education. The Obamas are putting in the first vegetable garden at The White House since World War II. How cool is that? It gets cooler […]
I’m guessing you’ve never had antipasto sushi before. Well, why not? We already know the combination of sweet roasted peppers, spicy salami, tangy marinated artichoke hearts and other typical antipasto plate ingredients are pleasing, to say the least. And really, couldn’t you roll just about anything in sushi rice and nori and enjoy it? I […]
You’ll never open the refrigerator in our house and find it void of organic, plain, whole milk yogurt. This is a staple in our house, for more than just your typical yogurt uses. Yeah, I still purport that eating it from the 32-ounce container with a big spoon when no one is looking is probably […]
When I recently promised you my killer recipe for Zucchini chocolate chip cookies, I was operating under the assumption I’d be blessing you with one of the most scrumptious little treats you could ever want to satisfy a dessert craving. Well, we made them last night and Keith entered the ingredients into “Lose It!,” his […]
That’s right, everyone, I have killed my food processor. I was recently making some super delicious scones and decided to use my food processor to mix the dough. I don’t have a standing mixer and I think that the food processor cuts the butter into the dough better than a mixer can, anyway. The problem […]
When I began this column for CliqueClack Food back in 1909 I thought of one thing when it came to fast food: McDonald’s. And why not? The Golden Arches is the epitome of the ‘grab-and-go’ generation with its greasy burgers, greasy fries, and ability to order, pay, and pickup without leaving the confines of your […]
March is National Celery Month (which makes sense, since St. Patrick’s Day is in March and celery is a shade of green), and even though I love celery, doesn’t that sound like the most boring food holiday month ever? I mean, it’s celery. I have to admit that celery isn’t one of those ingredients I […]
Despite having studied abroad in Ireland for a semester in college, I have some sort of mental block when it comes to Irish food: I utterly lack the ability to think beyond corned beef and cabbage. Even if I were, I’m not creative enough to think of interesting ways to prepare the dish (which, to […]
