Salted Caramel Whoopie Pies

March 27, 2010

salato/salted I don’t know about you, but I love Whoopie Pies. And, I was stunned when I first moved to Atlanta in the late 90’s and people were not familiar with the dessert. Really? They were pretty notable up north when I was younger. Lucky for Atlantans, Whoopie Pies have really made a name for […]

Strawberry Curd = Creamsicle-Like Goodness

March 23, 2010

fragola/strawberry This has been an exciting week (and it is only Tuesday), as I had two very productive meetings with two good friends and business associates, Bren and Jen (okay….didn’t mean to rhyme). I will be crossing my fingers that good things are around the corner. Updates will follow as I learn more! 😉 As […]

Going Back to Basics….with Proscuitto

March 22, 2010

piccolo morso/little bite Sometimes, I just want to go back to basics. Leave the bells and whistles behind and just eat good food. And, if there is one food I truly love, it is prosciutto. In fact, if I could marry prosciutto, I would. Mrs. Chris Prosciutto. Kinda slides right off the tongue, don’t you […]

Grilled Pork Chop with Rosemary Plum Sauce and Arugula

March 20, 2010

prugna/plum I am now in full swing with my new jobs. While they both are very different, they are both pretty decent. By day, I work in a kitchen that prepares 5-7 thousand meals a day. All the tasks are quite laborious because recipes include hundreds of pounds of ingredients. Today, I cooked 2400 pieces […]

Pancetta Omelet with Fried Basil Leaves

March 16, 2010

Basilica Fritta/Fried Basil I had anticipated another St. Patrick’s Day-ish recipe today. In fact, I had everything ready to go for some creme de menthe whoopie pies. But…it didn’t happen, as I was perfectly content on catching up on a little blog reading, a little napping, and a little (and I mean little) cleaning on […]

Blarney Scones

March 15, 2010

focaccina/scone St. Patrick’s Day is Wednesday. And, while I am not Irish (despite the red hair and freckles), I wanted to add some festive foods on here. Scones are a baked good that I used to make all the time. I am not sure why I don’t have many on the blog, but I think […]

Kumquat Curd-Filled Cakes with Kumquat Curd Whipped Cream

March 14, 2010

agrume/citrus I think Kumquats are my latest must haves. On a recent “I am starving trip” to Trader Joes, my eye caught a lovely display of the citrus family member. Like that, they were in my basket, with the random myriad of food items. Have you seen them in the stores, but never tried because […]

Atlantans Put their Whisks to Work for Share Our Strength

March 12, 2010

forza di volontà/strength of will It has been a crazy week, but in a good way! (That is my way of telling you there is a long winded post about to happen.) If you’re a regular reader, you know that being out of work since returning from UT turned my work-a-holic world upside down, so […]

Vanilla Caramel Cupcakes with Baileys Buttercream

March 9, 2010

ubriaco/drunk Short but sweet (literally) today. Busy week as I prepare for training seminars I am conducting in NY next week. But, I wanted to share these yummies before the green beer started pouring, Guiness cans opened, and corn beef and cabbage cooked. I am not a big St. Patrick’s Day girl (since I am […]
