What’s one of the most delicious and fattening and unhealthy things for breakfast? That could very well be a loaded question.

For me, it is coffee cake. If it is on a brunch buffet, I am taking two pieces.

The growing season is here. Yeah! I am ready for home grown veggies and fruit for salad. Unfortunately, all I have harvested so far is carrots, beets and a bit of lettuce.

Carrot and Cracked Wheat Salad

By Eliot, on May 28th, 2013%

Or “Bulgar Carrot Salad,” if you will. But since this is my “Delicatessen” Food ‘n Flix post, you might see why I went with “cracked.” 🙂 . . . → Read More: Carrot and Cracked Wheat Salad

It’s time to clean out the preserve pantry before I start stocking it up again. Here are some super simple recipes for jam cakes, jam bars, jam cookies, jam muffins, and a jam ice cream. (And for an added bonus: preserve recipes for the upcoming season! . . . → Read More: Baking with Jam Round Up

Carne Asada Pizza with Chevre and Cilantro Sauce

By Eliot, on May 22nd, 2013%

I developed this restaurant inspired meal from a now defunct restaurant that has found new life as a food trailer. (And, another reminder to remember the Moore tornado victims.) . . . → Read More: Carne Asada Pizza with Chevre and Cilantro Sauce

Moment of Silence

By Eliot, on May 21st, 2013%

Words can’t express the emotion and sympathy I feel for my fellow Oklahomans who have experienced devastation, loss of property and loss of family members in the past few days. I just can’t believe that Moore has been hit twice with F-4 and F-5 tornadoes—in May 1999 and May 2013.
