Recipes by Heather Wetzel (Page 15)

United States Chef

	Old-Fashioned by Heather Wetzel Old-fashioned: behind the times, outdated, antiquated. A term used to describe those who may not be on the “up and up”, so to speak. A term I’ve often used to describe members of my own family, if it suited me. You see, I’ve called myself a Southerner from time to time around these parts, but I certainly never claimed to be a…	1 vote 318 views
	Anytime, anyhow by Heather Wetzel You’d think I’d be a “get up early in the morning and make breakfast girl” since I have this nutso dream of owning a B&B one day. You’d think that waffles, quiches, and pancakes would dominate the posts here, and that the breakfast section of the recipe page would be enough to dedicate a separate page to it. You’d think all these…	1 vote 365 views
	Battle Eggplant: Holy Heaviness by Heather Wetzel How persistent of a person would you say you are? Stubborn as an ox? A total pushover? Or maybe somewhere in the middle? Truth be told, I waver depending on the subject. Do I really wanna pick a fight about the best road to take to get home from the grocery store? No, because one way or another, we’ll get there anyway, and what’s five…	1 vote 488 views
	Asian Things by Heather Wetzel Are you into Asian things? Okay, I’ll be more be more specific, because otherwise my friend, Todd, may pop up here with a comment about about how he’s always loved Asian girls, and that’s awkward. I’m moreso speaking about Asian cuisine, and it’s one of my very favorites.Although when I really think about it, I can’t honestly come up…	1 vote 411 views
	Naan Better by Heather Wetzel It seems that all the different parts of the world have their own kinda bread. There’s the Irish soda bread – of which I’ve seen about 10-thousand different variations, the eggy, perfect-in-French-toast Jewish challah bread in its pretty twists and braids, the ones that come in loaves at the steakhouses – the so-called Russian black…	1 vote 270 views
	Snap, Crackle by Heather Wetzel For you non-Chicago folk, you should know that specialty popcorn is a pretty big deal here. You should see the lines outside Garrett Popcorn Shop during all four seasons – rain or shine, wet, cold, snow or sweltering heat, there is always a crowd lining up outside the door for a bag of caramel corn, cheese corn, or if you’re smart, a…	1 vote 292 views
	Corn Ninja by Heather Wetzel I’m not really into the act of completing house chores with a smile on my face. Nonetheless, I think Hubs and I remain as the only condo in our building of 6 without a regular housekeeper. For me, it’s not a matter of time, it’s a matter of priorities and overall dislike for cleaning, or for having any chores for that…	1 vote 355 views
	Farro & Away by Heather Wetzel I don’t want to give the impression that things around Chez Wetzel are always complicated, and full of fancy brining techniques, tacos with multiple components, and the like. Sometimes it is, but sometimes things are way simple.And even though I have a freezer FULL of meat that I fully intend to eat, thanks to my CSA, sometimes we…	1 vote 237 views
	Dunkable by Heather Wetzel There is something so entirely comforting about brown sugar. I know that shouldn’t come as a surprise, given the sticky buns and the cupcakes, or the fact that a ‘tag search’ takes you to a handful of other brown sugar-containing sweets and savories. Like waking up in my own bed after a long vacation of hard mattresses and wimpy water…	1 vote 416 views
	Puppy Love by Heather Wetzel My list of ‘Southern foods I miss’ is rather substantial. I manage to get my fill of some of them over Christmas, or if I’m in NC for any other occasion throughout the year. Fried chicken? Easy. Chicken pastry? As long as Aunt Faye keeps inviting us over, I will put off making my own. Cheerwine? This one’s often forgotten, but I still…	1 vote 419 views
