Enjoy Life Gingerbread Spice Cookies Review
Enjoy Life makes great products. I’ve previously reviewed soft-baked chocolate chip and crunchy double chocolate cookies. These gingerbread spice cookies are easily the best of the bunch though. It’s deceptively tricky to make a cookie that is vegan, gluten free, soft and actually tastes great. Every bite fills the mouth with the brightness of ginger […]
Mom’s Best Cereals Crispy Cocoa Rice Review (Gluten Free)
“Nothing goes better with books than cereal” – George Washington Life is sometimes about the simple pleasures. On Friday, I did my weekly run to the library, leaving with 7, count ’em, 7 books. Excited for the weekend, I strolled over to Life Thyme Market. Normally it isn’t hard to steer clear of chocolate cereals […]
Sweet Saturday: White Chocolate Pudding Experiment
In an attempt to chill chocolate pudding last year, I accidently made chocolate ice cream. It was a happy mistake blogged about in this post (coincidently, a year ago). Well, if it worked for regular, why not white chocolate? All it takes is 4 ingredients. The final result is creamy and rich. The next time […]
What’s In My Food? Xanthan Gum
RoodonFood Note: What’s That In My Food is a new series where I’ll be exploring some of the stranger sounding ingredients in common foods and recipes. If you’ve ever bought salad dressing or baked anything gluten free, odds are you’ve come across “xanthan gum.” Generally used as a thickener and/or emulsifier, only small amounts are […]
World Cup: 3rd Place Matchup – Netherlands vs Brazil
The fight for 3rd place in the World Cup is today at 4pm EST. Many expected the Netherlands to go all the way but Argentina had other plans, beating them 4-2 in penalty kicks. Brazil for their part lost 7-1 against the mighty Germany. It was like watching Germany play a high school team. Both […]
Stamppot Boerenkool: Dutch Comfort Food (Mashed Potatoes and Kale)
Aside from the delicious stroopwafel, it’s hard to think of other foods from Holland. With The Netherlands advancing to the semi-final against Argentina it’s only appropriate to give a recipe a shot. Consulting with Dutch friend, I learned that Stamppot could be considered the “national dish.” It’s normally eaten in winter but as you know, […]
Ajvar, Red Pepper and Eggplant Dip Recipe
As promised here is a simple recipe for making ajvar, the traditional red pepper and eggplant dip served with cevapi, Bosnian (Serbian/Croatian) grilled sausage. It’s naturally vegan and gluten free so it’s something that can be eaten on sandwiches, with chips. It’s easy to make as long as you have access to some type of […]
World Cup Foods: Frijoles Antioquenos (Colombian Cargamanto Bean Stew)
In the World Cup, at 4pm EST Colombia takes on Uruguay in one of the first Group of 16 matches. Uruguay is playing sans star-player and serial biter Luis Suarez. Without it’s hungriest team member and dulce de leche how can they possibly win? In this matchup I’m going for Colombia who are the clear […]
World Cup Foods: Korean DakDoriTang (Spicy Chicken Stew)
South Korea plays Algeria at 3pm EST in Group H World Cup action. The two teams should be relatively evenly matched. In a food competition however, there is no contest. The national dish of Algeria is couscous, which while delicious cannot beat umami-mad Korean cuisine. Looking at a list of popular Korean dishes and condiments, […]
Product Review: DF Mavens New Orleans Salted Praline
The HBO show, Treme is set in post-Katrina New Orleans just months after the disaster. I wasn’t sure how the show could be anything but depressing. Luckily, it offers plenty of levity in the form characters like wacky DJ David Maclary (Steve Zahn), restaurateur Janette Desautel (Kim Dickens), and musicians galore like Antoine Baptiste (Wendell […]
