What do you get when you cross an orange bundt cake with an Irish Whiskey cake? A moist, boozy St. Patrick’s Day cake with an aromatic citrus flavor. Make the cake and orange-whiskey syrup the day before serving, so this whiskey dessert can get properly soused.
My favorite recipes are the ones that can pull double duty. Like this tasty olive spread with black and green olives, capers, roasted bell peppers, garlic and artichokes. Yes, it’s the same muffuletta olive salad you get on that famous New Orleans sandwich, but this blend also makes a great olive dip for snacking. How will you use it?
In the colder months, there’s nothing like a hot beverage to warm you up from the outdoor chill and if I had my druthers, hot rum drinks would be at the top of my list. Hot buttered rum batter is the starting point for these lip-smacking winter rum drinks (and one mocktail). Which one is your favorite?
Love creamy soups, but can’t tolerate the dairy? This simple vegetable soup is dairy-free, gluten-free and flavor-FULL. Pureed vegetable soups usually have added cream or thickeners. My creamy vegan asparagus soup gets its creamy mouth-feel from potato. Not a lot of potato – just enough to add body to the soup. Try it and see.
If you like the combination of fresh veg, ancient grains and lean protein all tossed in a tasty dressing, this Mediterranean Khorasan Wheat Salad is for you. Never heard of Khorasan wheat before? Neither had I, however, when I researched it, I found that it’s branded as KAMUT®. So what is KAMUT ®? What does it taste like and how do you use it? Read on…
