Basque Chicken by John Spottiswood

I had one of the best meals of my life, while on a wine-tasting trip with my father in Paso Robles, California, at a small restaurant called the 10th St. Basque Cafe. They only offer one seating meal to everyone in the restaurant. But it's a many course affair with some absolutely amazing food. Upon recommendation from another…

Cuban Pork by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from a very popular cuban pork recipe on Allrecipes. I used boneless country style ribs instead of pork roast, because they were on sale and easier! I also boiled instead of roasting, because I find it makes the pork even more tender. I was very happy with the results. Incredibly flavorful and wonderful over…

Molasses Cake by Dominick Costa

I don’t know why, but I think of Molasses as a fall / winter ingredient. It’s not. But for me, I most commonly use it during the fall or winter. Here we have a Molasses Cake. I tried researching the origins, but came up short. I asked around, and supposedly, back in the day, some wise person who had no sugar for a cake decided to use…

MALAYSIAN CURRY POWDER by Linda Tay Esposito

I re-created this recipe based on the memory of smell (oui, Rémy!) of the aroma in my late grandmother's house as she roasted curry powder. My grandmother roasted curry powder in a wok 1-yard in diameter, over a charcoal stove, and had all of us - her grandkids - tightly packed the spice mix into recycled glass ketchup bottles which…

Penne Pasta Salad by Jason Freund

Great for picnics; leftovers hold for several days. Mix of garlic, lemon, olive oil, and feta cheese gives this a great flavor. Source: The Country Deli, Mt View, CA. One of the best deli / lunch places I've been to.

Baked Caramel Corn by Jane Evans Bonacci

Original recipe from Jiffy Pop Popcorn. The trick to this recipe is to stir the caramel until the sugar is dissolved and then don’t touch it again until you turn it out of the pan. Stirring brings any undissolved sugar crystals down into the mixture and the whole thing will crystallize again.

A tasty and healthy veggie dish. This is a simple way to make kids eat their veggies. Mixing meat with veggies helps them to learn to appreciate vegetable dishes.
