    Warm Goat Cheese + Bruschetta Spread

    2019-07-06 /

    Warm Goat Cheese + Bruschetta Spread is quite possibly the most delectable thing to ever kiss your lips! It’s creamy + piquant + pungent + aaaahhhh! It’s the perfect app for a dinner party, but it’s also perfect for a quiet date night in. And by date I mean me + this cheese dip. I’m okay with that. I am dating food. If you do invite people over, make two of these recipes because you will want one all.to.yourself. Then hide in the closet for your date with this spread to muffle the animalistic noises you’ll make. You wouldn’t want to embarrass yourself in front of guests.   This Warm Goat…

    Hand-Crafted Gournay

    2019-06-04 /

    If provincial northwestern France had a flavor, it would be buttery + herbaceous Gournay. You have probably bought creamy + salty + garlicky + herby artisan Gournay cheese dozens of times without giving thought to how easy it is to create yourself. No need to run to the store to make this oh-so satisfying + fragrant snacking cheese. I’d bet you already have the ingredients for this blend at your fingertips!     Herbs? Check! Garlic? Check! Butter?  Check! Cream cheese?  Check! You got this!   I’d also bet that once you create your own house blend of Gournay, you will have choice ingredients at your fingertips At.All.Times.Forever.Amen. Whether they are…

    Mexican Street Corn (aka Elotes)

    2019-05-22 /

    Oh, Mexican Street Corn, where have you been all my life? You know those formulaic (and perhaps pretentious) blogs resembling something out of a J Peterman catalogue? Sure you do. The blogs where someone in Etherland tells us about the first time he/she sampled (type of food) while traveling in  (exotic land) wearing a  (bikini, kaftan, sheepskin thong, whatever)  as he/she cruised down the (faraway river).   (Guilty!) This is not one of those blogs. I did not buy street corn skewered by a stick from a vendor on my last visit to Mexico. I did, however, bury my teeth in a roasted cob of corn, so crunchy + sweet, and I…

    (no longer a secret) Pimento Cheese Sandwich

    2019-04-10 /

    Would you think me crazy if I told you a sandwich that costs $1.50 is legendary? ‘Tis true. It’s a sandwich that’s as Southern as Magnolia trees and sweet ice tea. People from all over the world flock to the concession stands of the Augusta National Golf Course to procure one of these sandwiches of piquant cheese slathered between two pillowy pieces of white bread. It’s the famous Pimento Cheese sandwich, and its ingredients are TOP SECRET. Much like the Augusta National itself, the recipe for pimento cheese is veiled in mystery. In fact, the recipe is the subject of quite a few contentious debates, including many proprietors taking the…
