What would Brian Boitano make
I just had to blog about Food Network’s new show What would Brian Boitano Make because it is absolutely hilarious. It’s actually not really new. I think the show is on it’s second season, but you’d never know. For some reason The Food Network only play…

Chocolate Souffle
This decedent desert is light and airy and tastes like a mix of chocolate brownies and pudding. All good stuff, but the best thing about a chocolate souffle is that it’s a lot easier to make than it sounds. I’m new to making souffle’s, but ever since …

Spoon Bread

Moroccan Chicken Tajine
I absolutely love Moroccan Chicken. The colors are beautiful, the chicken is fall of the bone tender and the aroma wafting through the kitchen is amazing. The only thing I like more then the flavor is the ease of making the slow cooked dish. It’s serio…

Melon Gelato
Melon gelato has always, always been my favorite flavor to eat on a hot summer day when traveling abroad. OK, I also have a thing for raspberry, passion fruit, and coconut gelato, but melon is good. I love really creamy, fruity gelato and not the stuff…

Geoduck
Enough already. I am so tired of watching episodes about geoduck (pronounced gooey duck). If you aren’t sure what geoduck is turn on the Food Network or the Travel Channel because I’m pretty sure any chef who has a traveling food show has done at least…

Organic Produce: The results are in
Ok, the results are in. I took to the streets for my organic produce expose and had a lot of fun documenting produce prices while getting a few weird looks. One guy even asked me if I was a spy! I’m not sure what kind of spy snaps pictures of organic l…

The cost of organic food
Organic food is more nutritious and tastier than the pesticide treated alternative, but its got a bad rap as being more expensive and is often banished to its own section of the supermarket. I’m not so sure that organic means more expensive. More than …
