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 […]
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 […]
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: Cevapi with Ajvar (Bosnian) at Cevabdzinica Sarajevo (Astoria, Queens)
The World Cup group rounds are winding down. Though technically eliminated, Bosnia is playing Iran at 12pm EST. This last match is for pride and to possibly to act as a spoiler. Luckily, the 21 year old nation has some delicious food to fall back on, including their national dish: cevapi (grilled sausage) with an […]
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, […]
World Cup Foods: Fesenjan(Iranian Walnut and Pomegranate Stew)
In today’s 12pm World Cup match, Iran faces up against the mighty Argentina. If Iran can pull off the victory, they advance beyond the group stages. Full disclosure: I was gifted an Argentina jersey which I’m obliged to wear though my heart usually supports the underdog. Even if Persia loses, they’ll always have the better […]
World Cup Foods: Kedjenou (Ivory Coast Chicken Stew) with Cassava Couscous
I’m excited for today’s Ivory Coast vs Colombia World Cup match up at 12pm EST. On paper Les Elephants are the better team. My theory as to why: Cote d’Ivoire is fueled by delicious attieke cassava couscous and kedjenou chicken stew. Check out my recipe for Attieke Cassava Couscous by clicking the image. See also […]
Sweet and Sour Pork Chop Recipe
Inspired by American style Chinese food, this sweet and sour marinade keeps pork moist and flavorful. I did it with pork chops but it can be used with spare ribs or even ground meat. Serve with rice or with mashed potatoes. Don’t forget to garnish with the pineapple chunks and green onions. Pineapple juice is […]
Review: Almond Breeze Caramel Iced Coffee Caramel Macchiato Flavor
As someone who is lactose intolerant it’s not hard to resist dairy iced coffee. Seeing this RoodonFood friendly version from Almond Breeze was trickier however. Prior to purchase I didn’t know what a macchiato was but it sounded both fancy and tasty. The drink is creamy and colored like chocolate milk but doesn’t weigh you […]
