Meyer Lemon Meringue Tartlets

Meyer Lemon Meringue Tartlets by Foodiewife

Our sweet little Meyer lemon tree generously gave us a bounty of lemons. My family loves lemon meringue pie, but I wanted to kick this up a notch. I prefer a Pâte Brisée tart crust (buttery with a sweet balance of sugar), so I decided to make tartlets. I adapted a few different Martha Stewart recipes to make a winning combination.…

Meyer Lemon Curd

Meyer Lemon Curd by Foodiewife

I have a really simple lemon curd recipe that I've made for years, using whole eggs. This lemon curd recipe uses only the egg yolk, and the whites are reserved for making meringue for Lemon Meringue Tarts (or pie). My preferred lemons are Meyer but Eureka lemons work well, too. Lemon curd can be made up to a week ahead of time, and…

Perfect Pâte Brisée Tart Dough

Perfect Pâte Brisée Tart Dough by Foodiewife

I used this dough to make Meyer Lemon Tartlets and loved it so much, that I wanted to save the recipe as a "stand alone". I'm not a big fan of American pie crusts, but I do love a good shortbread and buttery tart crust. This one turned out to be very tender, and I loved the lemon zest. Baked and filled with homemade lemon curd and…

Pressure Cooker Mushroom Sauce (or stovetop)

Pressure Cooker Mushroom Sauce (or stovetop) by Foodiewife

If you don't own a pressure cooker, I'm sure that this recipe can be adapted on a stove top. The beauty of owning a pressure cooker, is that you can reduce the cooking time for most any recipe by 75%. This sauce took 30 minutes to cook in a pressure cooker. It uses a blend of cremini, shiitake and portobello mushrooms, which are…

The Best Vegetarian Chili - Thick and Hearty and Healthy!

The Best Vegetarian Chili - Thick and Hearty and Healthy! by Foodiewife

For as long as I can remember, I always make a big pot of my Chile Con Carne recipe for Super Bowl Sunday. I've been making this for so long, that I don't need a recipe. It's hearty, and not too spicy. With a pile of warm flour tortillas, my men ladle bowls of this to watch the game.I'm also a fan of vegetarian dishes, but so far…

Sour Dough Pizza Dough - (With Sausage, Onion and Mushroom)

Sour Dough Pizza Dough - (With Sausage, Onion and Mushroom) by Foodiewife

I've recently conquered my fear of failure in making sour dough breads. I bought a sour dough starter from King Arthur Flour (online)and was pretty faithful in "feeding" it, and storing it in my fridge in a special crockpot. Two years went by, and I still hadn't mustered the courage to make sour dough. One of the steps in feeding sour…

Healthy and Flavorful Mushroom Barley Soup

Healthy and Flavorful Mushroom Barley Soup by Foodiewife

Like so many other folks, I overdosed on sugar during the holidays. Making three flavors of homemade caramels, and being surrounded by boxes of See's chocolates and cookies, at my office, made my pancrease work overtime. By the time I packed up our Christmas decorations, I was craving vegetables.I had a package of cremini mushrooms,…

The Best Vegetarian Chili - Thick and Hearty and Healthy!

The Best Vegetarian Chili - Thick and Hearty and Healthy! by Foodiewife

I absolutely adore Chili con Carne, and I make a great batch of it-- if I do say so, myself. So, I was a bit skeptical when I saw an episode of America's Test Kitchen proclaiming that this is "The Best" Vegetarian Chili. As I began to read the ingredients, I started to open up my mind that this quite possibly could be. So, is it?…

Healthy and Flavorful Mushroom Barley Soup

Healthy and Flavorful Mushroom Barley Soup by Foodiewife

With all the holiday gastronomic feasts behind us, I wanted to get back into eating a bit healthier. This recipe comes from America's Test Kitchen's Healthy Family Cookbook. What really gives this soup a rich and earthy flavor are the dried porcini mushrooms, combined with fresh cremini and shitaki mushrooms (I didn't use…
