Kind of funny... I've made this recipe now 4 times, I think. But I actually made it twice this week! Long story, but I was dedicated to getting this recipe completed (again), so my poor planning and communication ended up, well... working out ok after all! To be honest, I'm not really a fan of … Continue reading ffwd – creamy, cheesy, garlicky rice with spinach
ffwd – corn soup
What a deceptive little name for a recipe. Truthfully, this is quite simple, but it's definitely different - a little more than just corn soup. I am late in both getting to the recipe as well as the blog post about it. I simply ran out of time. But I love everything corn, particularly late … Continue reading ffwd – corn soup
ffwd – cafe salle pleyel hamburger (a tale of two burgers)
A few weeks ago, my niece wanted us to make some burgers like she'd had at a restaurant - ABC Burgers. That is, avocado, brie and caramelized onions. Since she was about to go off on her freshman year of college, we carved out some time. As I looked for a good caramelized onion recipe, I visited … Continue reading ffwd – cafe salle pleyel hamburger (a tale of two burgers)
Spicy Thai Basil Jelly
I know that this is the latest hot trend, but I've been canning things for what seems like forever. When I was little, we had a big pear tree in our yard, and so late summer was spent canning all manner of delicious pear-ish things. Pear Honey (still a favorite), canned pears, creame-de-menth pears... Lots … Continue reading Spicy Thai Basil Jelly
ffwd – eggplant caviar
I'm happy to be back in the ffwd groove. Mostly because I honestly miss all of my compadres that are working through Around My French Table. Hopefully with the end of summer, we'll re-group and become strengthened by our friendship and shared experience. I come to think that the shared experience is the very best … Continue reading ffwd – eggplant caviar
ffwd – slow-roasted tomatoes (arizona style)
I'm very excited to get back on track with French Fridays. But to be honest... it's over 100+ degrees in Arizona right now (and that's a kind estimate), so I'm not turning on my oven for three hours - even for Dorie. That said, I think this will be a terrific recipe in the fall/winter when … Continue reading ffwd – slow-roasted tomatoes (arizona style)
chiles and corn… summer in the Southwest
I have been thoroughly enjoying my time exploring French food with French Fridays with Dorie, but I have a confession to make - it's summer in AZ, and it's difficult to stay focussed on all things French. Well, or at least all foods French. Besides, how could I be considered any kind of "foodie" if … Continue reading chiles and corn… summer in the Southwest
(ffwd) paris-brest
I think it was close to a decade ago, maybe more, that I first fell in love with the Tour de France. I was no particular fan of cycling, not even of the movie Breaking Away, but I found myself in a solitary hotel room in Toronto on a business trip, and was drawn into watching a bike … Continue reading (ffwd) paris-brest
ffwd – salmon and tomatoes en papillote
I've been away for awhile, though at the moment, I'm interested in everything French. No, not a trip on the horizon, but the annual epic trip around France (and into Belgium and Spain), known throughout the world as the Tour de France. Usually, I try to plan different French menus throughout the month, to at least conjure … Continue reading ffwd – salmon and tomatoes en papillote
ffwd – roasted rhubarb
I really like rhubarb. I like that it used to be known as "pie plant". Humble, homey. Good on it's own or alongside strawberries. To my mind, very old-fashioned, which has its appeal too.Since I typically have yogurt and fruit for breakfast every morning, I thought - how fun. This is, of course a super-simple … Continue reading ffwd – roasted rhubarb
