MealBaby lets you coordinate those new baby meals easily

Filed under: On the Blogs

MealBaby logo
Back at the end of August, my cousin and his wife had their second child. In the face of this happy news, I did what any loving relative would do. I pulled down a casserole pan and started cooking. I put together a baked pasta dish with browned organic sausage, lots of wilted spinach, ricotta cheese, homemade marinara sauce and whole wheat elbows.

New Year’s Resolution #1 - Indulge More (DiceFood.com)

New Year’s Resolution #1 - Indulge More

Filed under: New Year’s

Image of steak fritesI can’t claim credit for it, but by far the best New Year’s resolution I’ve ever heard is “Drink more champagne.” It flies in the face of the conventional model of resolutions, which entails discipline at best and deprivation at worst. When food and booze are involved in resolutions, “less” is typically the operative word.

For the second year running, I plan to include the word “more” in my resolutions, or at least the spirit of the word. I hardly have to tell myself to drink more champagne, but I could remind myself to seek out caviar more frequently, for instance, or to order that appetizer of pâté de campagne whenever it’s on offer. Or I might resolve to develop my taste for Scotch, invest in crystal stemware, or host a bacchanal every month.

Candied Grapefruit Peel - Feast Your Eyes

Filed under: Feast Your Eyes

candied grapefruit peel in a jar
I’m something of a sucker for food stored in jars and so this picture grabbed my attention in large part because it features a glass, latch-closed jar. Inside is homemade candied grapefruit peel, which (as I mentioned sometime last week) makes an excellent edible holiday gift.

Thanks John, for adding your image to the Slashfood Flickr pool! Read more »

The New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet - Cookbook of the Day

Filed under: Cookbook of the Day

cover of 60-Minute Gourmet cookbookJust like last year at this time, I’m out in Portland, OR, visiting my parents for the holidays. One of my favorite Portland activities is to hit a variety of thrift stores, searching out interesting old cookbooks (for some reason, Philadelphia thrift stores don’t seem to have the same wealth of cookbooks). Today I picked an assortment of cookbooks from the sixties and seventies, including The New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet, by Pierre Franey.

Caramel Corn with Nuts - Gift of the Day (DiceFood.com)

Caramel Corn with Nuts - Gift of the Day

Filed under: Hanukkah, Christmas, Edible Gifts

caramel corn with nuts
Today’s featured edible gift (although you might want to keep at least one batch for yourself) is from Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake. It’s her mom’s recipe and looks to be simple and addictively tasty. It’s just freshly popped corn, a couple of cups of nuts (your choice - Rebecca used pecans, but I bet it would be delicious with almonds or peanuts) and a homemade caramel syrup. You mix the popcorn and nuts with the caramel sauce and bake in a low oven for an hour. Get the exact recipe over at Ezra Pound Cake.
