Trader Joe's Spicy Buffalo Cheddar is the cheese I needed for Super Bowl Sunday. (Then again, I probably would have knocked the bowl over dancing during the half time show. :D ) This cheese lives somewhere between Velveeta and standard cheddar. And with jalapeños and habaneros in the mix, it's got a good kick. …
Sometimes you should just try to call a thing what it is, instead of doing word gymnastics to make it fit a food trend. Hey, let me get some of those Spicy Porkless Plant-Based Snack Rinds? How 'bout just some Trader Joe's Spicy Rice Crunchies? For simplicity's sake, I'm just gonna call them Trader Joe's…
Not that anyone in the US is doing much flying these days, but I gotta tell ya, those little bags of snack mix are pretty much a let down. Weird little Ranch-flavored thingies, honey roasted sesame sticks, maybe a couple of tiny pretzels. I'll usually pass. Now, if flights in the States had Trader Joe's…
Trader Joe's Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce ($2.99 for a 6.7 oz. jar) is one of the items I've been looking forward to most this summer. Calabrian chile paste adds a nice kick to a whole host of dishes, but I usually have to go to an Italian specialty market to pick it up. I…
Tradition is just something you do more than once, said some cynical person sometime somewhere. Well, if that's the case, this Not Cross Bun loaf is now tradition. I've made it three times, and damn if it isn't simpler than shaping individual hot cross buns. And without a direct connection to Good Friday, you can have…
Read recipe headlines or captions and you might think cooking has turned into a version of Name That Tune. Take any dish, let’s say a salad in this case. Can’t you just see it, opponents stand across from each other on a cardboard cut out game show set, sizing each other up, looking for tells. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly practically plays in the background.
“Jim, I can make that salad in 7 ingredients,” says Contestant #1.
“I can make it in 5,” replies Contestant #2.
#1 rocks from left foot to right to left again. “Uhhh, Jim, I can make it in 3.”
Sensing uncertainty, #2 points, “Make that salad.”
Alright, let’s do it. Easy peasy Sesame Sugar Snap Peas.
I don't really know why I started thinking about spiced nuts this weekend. Must be something about the sun being lower in the sky, and the cooler weather settling in...and the smell of anything roasting, whether its chiles or chicken or nuts, just feels like fall. I didn't think there was anything that could make pecans and almonds taste even better, until now.
Tofu, love it or hate it, is a blank canvas for flavor. I hear you snickering over there, "Blank canvas for flavor. That stuff is BLAND." On it own, plain, it is bland, no doubt. But maybe that's why Asian cultures have been dousing it for centuries in miso, soy sauce, ginger garlic sauce, red…
