Ever notice how some arguments have had the same opposing sides for what seems like all of time? We’re exploring the discourse around common kitchen arguments in our series on ancient debates and food rivalries. There are always two sides to a story, and sometimes everyone’s right. Have you ever gotten into a good-natured screaming match with someone you’ve only known for two-and-a-half days? We did. It was about pizza. It won’t be surprising that we met at a program dedicated to food writing. Predictably conversations centered on food, and on the 4th of July, the topic wandered into pizza. We were off. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/food-rivalries-pie-or-square-cut-pizzas-food-rivalries/ At the heart of a cheese ball is, of course, the cheese, so it’s important that the cheese used is a great one if you want stellar results. Almost any cheese can be transformed into a party-friendly ball, but we have a few favorites that we always turn to when building our creation. Here are our top five picks. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/the-5-best-cheeses-to-use-to-create-a-flavorful-cheese-ball-ingredient-intelligence/ I’ve been going to the same Super Bowl party for more than 10 years now, and every year I watch two of my friends throw down tons of cash on (what I’ve since learned are called) prop bets. Turns out, prop bets — short for proposition bets — are done on the side and circle around an occurrence (or lack of occurrence) of some random thing that goes beyond who wins or loses the game. (A pretty good explanation from someone who’s not a sports fan, right?) For example, they’ll bet on which team will win the coin toss, which team will be the first to score, or what will be the longest touchdown of the game. I love the idea of getting in on the action, but I don’t want to risk my hard-earned money — I also don’t want to have to learn the rules of football! via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/this-is-what-you-should-bet-on-during-the-big-game-sportsball-cheeseball/ Eating Only Plants Doesnt Mean Youll Never Be Full: 4 Recipes That Prove Just That Hearty and Vegan1/28/2017 Many moons ago I was a vegetarian, and recently with all the buzz around plant-powered diets I’ve been reminiscing about how I felt when I ate mostly plants. For starters, I don’t ever remember feeling hungry, nor do I remember ever feeling stuffed. It seems a pleasant fullness was usually how I finished meals, and I believe a lot of that had to do with the shape of my plate — vegetables and legumes led the way, filling me up with fiber and complex carbs. Even though meat is a part of my diet today, making plants a big part of the plate is the number-one step I take when I want to reset my eating habits. That practice is a reminder that these deeply nutritious foods can leave you just as satisfied as any animal protein-packed meal. So this week we looked at what a crop of vegan cookbooks had to offer by way of hearty plant-based food and asked our food photographer pal, Maria Siriano, a vegan herself, to share her thoughts on the recipes. Finally, we asked Maria to share one of her own hearty vegan dishes. It’s a spicy peanut butter tempeh number that can’t be missed. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/eating-only-plants-doesnt-mean-youll-never-be-full-4-recipes-that-prove-just-that-hearty-and-vegan/ It might be basic and it might be expensive, but damn it, brunch is irresistible. To that end, BrunchCon is the food festival you’ve been waiting for. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/this-brunch-festival-is-going-to-be-eggcellent-food-news/ There are few foods more appropriate for a Super Bowl party than a cheese ball. After all, the dish has the word ball in it! And this one, from Michelle Buffardi’s lactose-laden book, Great Balls of Cheese, takes the festivities to the next level. Meet (or should we say meat?) the pigskin cheese ball. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/turn-a-cheese-ball-into-a-football-sportsball-cheeseball/ So there you are, just home from work and ready to start cooking. You’ve picked up a nice piece of salmon, and the question is now what? Well, one of the beauties of salmon is that you can take it in many directions without a lot of fuss and bother. Here are 16 ideas to get your imagination rolling and get dinner on the table in a flash. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/16-quick-and-easy-salmon-dinners-recipes-from-the-kitchn/ From Apartment Therapy → Design Matters: Truly Beautiful Dust Pans, Brooms & Other Cleaning Tools via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/beautifully-designed-dust-pans-brooms-other-cleaning-tools-apartment-therapy/ Maybe! If you’re throwing a Super Bowl party, the answer, of course, depends on a few things: how many people you’re planning to invite, how long you’re willing to have them at your house, and how much your friends drink. This should help. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/should-you-just-get-a-keg-food-rivalries/ |
