Crème caramel (or Caramel Flan), Pressure Cooker Style by Foodiewife

Holy Moly! It's been one month since I've shared a recipe with y'all. Seriously? I'm alive and well, indeed. I'll explain, later on, what has keep me from blogging (beyond my full-time job, and my dislike of photographing food during dark, winter nights). Now that the days are getting longer, again, I can start photographing more…

Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza

Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza by Foodiewife

My first disclaimer is this: I have never been to Chicago. Therefore, I have never eaten authentic pizza in Chicago. A few years ago, I bookmarked the America's Test Kitchen version of this pizza, because it looked so good and I really wanted to make it!One of my former student's, who is from Chicago, was lamenting that finding…

Easy Homemade Bagels

Easy Homemade Bagels by Foodiewife

I love bagels. I especially love freshly baked bagels. I don't buy them at my supermarket, because I don't know how old they are-- and I don't think they taste all that great. To me, they have a spongy texture and taste stale.There are only two bagel bakeries in the area where they live. Both bakeries do a great job producing the…

Overnight Blueberry French Toast

Overnight Blueberry French Toast by Foodiewife

Happy New Year - 2016!We spent a quiet evening, at home, making Swiss Fondue with a bottle of chilled Prosecco. I made our traditional dinner of tender Filet Mignon, fresh veggies and falling asleep long before midnight. I wouldn't want it any other way. New Year's Day is our 10th wedding anniversary, and that's when we go out to…

Banana-Pecan Brûlée Oatmeal For Two (Pressure Cooker Style) by Foodiewife

I finally did it! I bought a second pressure cooker on Amazon Black Friday. I bought the Instant Pot IP-DUO60 6Qt 7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker. I'm not new to pressure cooking, as I discovered this method about 15 years ago. I've since discovered the joy of braised meals in 2/3's less the time it takes to use the Dutch oven…

Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles by Foodiewife

Before the words "ew" fly out of your mouth...hold on! Chicken and Waffles is Soul Food, and I can personally attest that it's good. Really good. The first time I tried Chicken and Waffles, was several years ago, in Oakland, California. I was wary, but I decided I shouldn't knock it, until I tried it.If you're still shaking your…

I've got a few tasty waffle recipes posted on my blog (like my Gingerbread Pumpkin Waffles). This waffle recipe is no exception.Now that Craig and I are empty nesters, I'm looking for ways to convert recipe portions by at least half. Sure, leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated. I'd much prefer to have a simple recipe, that I…

Easy Bavarian Style Apple Strudel (Apfel Strudel) by Foodiewife

When my mother passed away, in October 2002, we held an Oktoberfest memorial service for her. To know my Mutti, she loved a party, loved to dance, and thrived at being the center of attention.Rather than having a somber service, we had a fully catered German buffet with Bavarian music playing. I think she would have been very pleased…

Chinese Fakeout: Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

Chinese Fakeout: Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken by Foodiewife

The inside of our garage upright freezer was starting to resemble Antarctica, so it was time to do some defrosting and rearranging. I found a package of chicken breasts that was hidden behind a big chunk of ice. I rummaged through my pantry and discovered a can of pineapple chunks. I always have red bell peppers in the fridge.My…
