prepare for Halloween, prepare to have leftover candy from your kids that you
are not going to know what to do with! Besides donating to Unicef (which is a
great cause) you should make this candy chocolate bar! Aside from having all
the ingredients at your whim for this…the Halloween candy…you only need to
other things. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

like starting by preparing the items that top the dish, so that I can have that
out of the way and cooked. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

oven to 400. Cut acorn squash in half, then into 1 inch thick slices. Using a
knife, remove skin, cube, toss in oil, place on baking sheet, then sprinkle
with garlic salt. Cook squash for about 30 minutes, rotating half way through. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

heat to 275. Tear kale up into small pieces, discarding the stem, and placing
on a baking sheet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cook kale for 15
minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

the sausage is already cooked, simply cut on a diagonal and cook at medium high
until you get a slight sear. This will also bring out the spiciness of the
meat. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

of this aside so we can now make our couscous. Melt butter in a large non stick
sauce pan on medium high heat. While that is melting mince up garlic and onion.
Cook onion and garlic in butter until onion softens and becomes semi translucent.
Add 4 ½ cups of water to onion and garlic and bring to a boil. Add squid ink
and make sure that it completely dissolves before adding the couscous. Bring
the water back to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover and let simmer for 10
minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

couscous is done, fluff it with a fork. Serve in a dish, pinch salt to your taste, top with squash, then sausage,
then add the kale at the very end.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Welcome to the boneyard!! These
vegetable pockets are great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, standing on
your head, dancing in the halls…whatever your heart desires. What is even
better about these is that they are super easy to put together, a great last
minute Halloween party item. To make it even easier we used premade pizza dough
as the crust, and there is nothing wrong with that! Sometimes you just need a
little cheat to make things go easier. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy your meal, bonedaddy!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Start by chopping up all of your
vegetables. Heat oil in a sauté pan on medium high heat, and place vegetables in.
Sprinkle salt on top, and sauté until slightly cooked, about 6 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Next preheat oven to 425. While
preheating start rolling out your dough on a lightly floured surface, roll out
one at a time so it doesn’t get cray in your work area. Once you roll out the
dough, cut shapes of bones that are about 8 inches long, and 3 inches wide.
Place vegetable mix on the dough, making sure that you don’t get too much
towards the edges of your bone shape because the oil will make it tough to
close all the way. Top with cheese and place another bone cut out on top. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Once you have filled all of your
bones, use a fork to pinch the sides down to close all the way. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Place in oven and cook for 14
minutes, or until golden brown, turning half way through!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

all 12 eggs in warm water and set to high heat. Once the water comes to a boil,
let boil for 12 minutes. Remove from water, and set eggs in an ice bath. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

can make the filling, in a blender combine oil, salt, mustard, yolk, and

the filling, place into a ziplock bag and cut the corner off fill in a circular
motion. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

are in October, the month of my birth, the month of one of my favorite holidays,
and an awesome month to celebrate the soft pretzel! According to the tales,
pretzels were invented in Italy by monks in 600s from leftover breads. Pretzels
have since been linked to Christianity, and featured in many Catholic holidays
and traditions. The Germans really grabbed onto these traditions, and it is the
Germans we have to thank for immigrating to America and introducing the US to
pretzels!! There is some history with your food. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

the Oktober tradition of enjoying a good soft pretzel and some beer, we have
made cheddar stuffed pretzels balls. This dish is really easy and is great with
an Oktoberfest beer. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Fall!!!! Now if only it would cool down in Los Angeles so that I would know it
is Fall, in the mean time I will just sit under the AC and have a fan blasting
in my face.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

first fall dish of 2015 we have made creamy polenta topped with fall vegetables
and a balsamic reduction. I love the fall because some of my favorite
vegetables are at their best, such as mushrooms, squashes, Brussel sprouts, and
so many others. Enjoy<o:p></o:p></span><br />

great about this dish is that you can make all of the components at the same
time pretty much, which is lovely. Or you can make all the vegetables ahead of
time, mix them together, and reheat them before plating.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

preheating oven to 400 degrees and prepping all of your vegetables, listed
below is how to properly prepare them:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Leeks:
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Cut the end with roots off, and where the leek turns from white to green. Slice
the leeks in half length wise. Run the leeks under water, making sure to get
any bugs or dirt out. Chop leeks into small half circles by laying the cut side
down. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Butternut
Squash:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> Cut in half lengthwise. This can be challenging the bigger the squash,
so I insert knife on the thin side, cut through the stem and it should make it
easier to wiggle the knife around. Since we are only using half, you can wrap
up and store one half. Peel the squash with a strong peeler until the squash goes
from white to dark orange. Remove seeds with a spoon, and using a sharp knife,
cube the squash. Toss with two tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Brussel
sprouts:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Trim the
ends off and peel outer layer of leaves. Cut into quarters, and rigorously
rinse under water to remove any dirt or bugs. Toss with two tablespoons and a
pinch of salt. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Mushrooms:
<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Run the
mushrooms under4 water and rub the inside and outside with your thumb to remove
all dirt. Slice thin using a very sharp knife. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Now we
can prepare everything. Place Brussel sprouts and butternut squash on separate
sheet trays and in over. Set timer for 40 minutes, and flip tray halfway
through. This is a good time to make your balsamic reduction. In a small sauce
pan bring your balsamic to a boil, and then add honey. Turn the heat down to a
small simmer and let simmer until you reached desired thickness. The reduction
will thicken quite a bit while cooling so keep that in mind. I did mine about 7
minutes. Set aside when done.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">At the 20
minute mark you can start putting everything else together. Heat up one tablespoon
of oil on medium high in a large non-stick pan and place leeks in. Let soften,
about 2-3 minutes, and pour in a ¼ cup of chicken stock. Let cook on low-medium
heat until caramelized, about 15 minutes. While that is going, place one
tablespoon of oil in a different non-stick, place mushrooms in. Cook until completely
softened, about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Once you
start all of your vegetables, or after everything is done it is time to start
the polenta. Cube your polenta and place in sauce pan on medium high heat. Add ½
cup of chicken stock, and mash up using a masher. Try to mash it up as much as
possible. Add cream and cheese and stir until the polenta has absorbed all the
liquid and all the cheese is melted. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Back to School! I don’t know about you guys, but it seems earlier and earlier
every year. That being said, adults get a little bit of freedom back, and kids
get to catch up with old friends. First day of school screams new outfits,
summertime tales, fresh notebooks, new teachers, and old haunts. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

up with a great back to school lunch delicious to kids (it has been child tested)
and it is chock full of great things such as broccoli, yam, apple…but it is all
snuck in with a twist!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

large pot of water, and a small pot of water to a boil. In the meantime cut the
large head of broccoli into smaller pieces. When large water comes to a boil,
pour in pasta. When small water comes to boil, pour in broccoli. In a medium
sized pot start melting butter right before pasta is done, cook pasta 9-12 minutes
or until slightly al dente. Cook broccoli about 5 minutes or until tender when
poked with fork. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

is melted, strain and pour in pasta. Stir pasta so that it gets coated in
butter, pour in broccoli and stir more. Pour grated cheese in thirds and stir
so that it doesn’t melt in clumps. Sprinkle salt in to your liking. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

chips I suggest using a mandolin, because they are awesome! Preheat oven to 415
degrees. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

outside of yam before slicing. Slice yam relatively thin, not so thin that you
can see light through it, but no so thick that they snap in half…they should be
able to bend. In a bowl, toss with olive oil. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

on cookie sheets and very lightly sprinkle with salt, they get salty very
easily. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Rice Krispies don’t hold together as tightly as the old fashioned kid without
apple, so we are adding a bit more marshmallow…but who cares, they won’t be around
long because they are so quickly devoured!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

anything, make sure to grease bottom and sides of 9”x11” pan. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

cubing apple into pretty small pieces about a centimeter cubed. In a small
sauce pan melt butter and sugar. When melted pour in apple pieces, stir to coat,
then add 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes until apple
is soft. Set aside. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

medium/ large deep sauce pan melt marshmallows while stirring constantly. Add
teaspoon of cinnamon and stir for two more minutes. Add in apples and stir in
completely. Then add in cereal and stir that in completely. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

greased spatula, pour mix into your already greased pan, pushing mix in as
tight as possible. Let cool, and then slice!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Happy Summer! Hello WORLD!
Michael and I have been a bit off the grid for a bit, hence the no posts since
February, Michael is head chef at a new fabulous restaurant, I have been doing
some work with a gallery in the Santa Fe Art Colony, showing my paintings. All
in all, it has been pretty busy, but a wonderful time!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">That being said, we have put
together a simple yet delicious dish inspired by summer and my recent trip with
my family to Puerto Vallarta (Michael couldn’t make it because he is el jefe
and needed). We have made avocado shrimp toast. This is such a simple dish, yet

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Start by preheating oven to 400
degrees and slicing bread a ¼ to ½ inch thick, depends on your preference. Put
bread on sheet tray and in the oven when the oven reaches temp. Toast bread
about 12 minutes, flipping half way. Since all ovens are not created equal,
just keep an eye out on toast burnage. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I like to buy my shrimp peeled
and deveined to save the time, but check to make sure it is completely deveined
because I know it'</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">s childish but it's just guhross if they are not completely
cleaned. Heat oil and juice of a lemon inn a skillet on medium high heat, until
it starts to slightly brown….SUPER CRUCIAL, don’t let oil burn, just let it
slightly brown. Place shrimp in skillet, season with a teaspoon of salt, and
cook about 3 minutes each side, or until shrimp turns pink. Remove from heat. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">To assemble this glorious masterpiece
get all of your ingredients ready; have your bread out, open your avocado up,
pick some rinsed cilantro, slice your shrimp down the middle length wise, and
roll and then slice your lime. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
reason you roll the lime is to open up the juiciness inside!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Start with your toast, then layer
slices of avocado, and the pinch some salt on top. Next lay 3-4 shrimp slice on
top, squeeze some lime on top, sprinkle some chili flakes, and lastly top with
some cilantro!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy!!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Happy Summer!!! I know it has been an extremely long time since we have posted, but we have been extremely busy! Michael is Chef at a new restaurant, I have been taking on much more with work and painting. We apologize for the blog vacation, but we promise that the food we have in store is worth it. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Happy New Year!!! In this New
Year we have decided to be healthier, as I believe everyone says they will be!
Michael being a chef makes it difficult for him to adhere to this, but I have
decided to try and eat Paleo-ish for a bit. I mean why not!? For a paleo dish we
have created a Paleo Brunch Crostini with Tomato Caviar, not all brunches need
to leave you feeling heavy!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Start by making the crositinis,
since they are made with almond meal, they are gluten free and very low carb
which is awesome. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and combine all the
ingredients in a food processor and combine until you make a dough. Roll a
small ball in your hands and pat down to make your crostini about an 1/8 of an
inch thick. Bake for 16 minutes, rotating half way through.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Next prepare your toppings!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Avocado: With a fork cream
together red wine, avocado, and a healthy pinch of salt. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Egg: Slow cook you eggs. Place
eggs in water, then on the stove. Bring to a boil, once boiling, remove from
heat and let cover for 2 minutes. Remove from water and place in cold water to
stop the cooking. Remove the shell and chop. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Tomato Caviar: cut the top off of
the tomato so that you can see all the pockets with the seeds. Using a sharp
knife, slice in between the meat and the seeds of the tomato so that you are removing
the meat from the seeds. Next carefully detach the seeds and they should come
right out!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Prosciutto: Chop into pieces, you
can either crisp it on the stove for about 3 minutes, or leave as is. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">To put the crostini together
first put down the avocado, then the egg, top with prosciutto, and tomato
caviar, and sprinkle with salt. Enjoy your deliciously healthy and awesome
brunch crostini!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Christmas! We hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season. No matter
what holiday you celebrate, this is a cake that can be celeb rated and enjoyed
by all, enjoy our Melting Snow Cake. This is a spiced pound cake with a
marshmallow fluff layer on the outside. This cake doesn’t get its name for any
reason….it is a small cake, but is messy cake to make, so beware. If you are
not feeling the messy frosting, and want something more prim looking feel free
to buy a can of frosting and mixing our marshmallow fluff in with it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

making the marshmallow fluff and preheating the oven to 350 degrees. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pour corn syrup into the egg whites, and beat
on a high speed with an electric mixer until the mixture doubles, about 5-6
minutes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Slowly add in your powdered
sugar while mixing on low. Once completely mixed, add vanilla extract. Place in
fridge until ready to use. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

your cake pans. We used two 8 inch round pans. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat
butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well
after each addition then add vanilla and salt. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

mixer on low, gradually add flour, and all of your spices, beating just until
combined. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

completely before you start to put the cake together. If the top of the cake is
too rounded you can simply take a knife to flatten the tops off. Start by
putting a layer of fluff in between the two cakes, if you are afraid of your
cake sliding, then secure with toothpicks. Place second cake on top. Cover in
fluff. When we made it the fluff poured all down the side because it is so
heavy, so we placed in the freezer immediately for about 5 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

leave in freezer for longer than 15 minutes, because it will be difficult to
eat! Before serving dust with powdered sugar! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

a single person who can say they don’t like latkes! I mean come on, a delicious
potato pancake served with awesome sides. While making them for this recipe we
probably ate 10 of them, but made sure we had enough left to photograph. I am
eating one as I type this, cold…because they are awesome hot or cold. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

are some straight forward delish potato latkes with some very amazing garnishes…cinnamon/pear/apricot
jam, ponzu sour cream, and some jalapeno bacon jam! Though the bacon jam isn’t
kosher….it’s wonderful!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

is very simple… simply mix all the ingredients together!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

the pancakes peel all of the potatoes. You are going to be preparing the
potatoes into three different ways, so basically into thirds. Cube two of the
potatoes, and place in a pot of salted water, and bring to a boil. Let boil for
15 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

bowl, grate the remainder of the potatoes, with the large side of a grater.
Press with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

chop up the shallot, and take half of the grated potatoes and place into a food
processor with the shallot and pulse. Place back into the large bowl with the
grated potatoes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

boiling potatoes are tender, drain and mash up. Place those into the large bowl
with the rest of the potatoes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

large spoon mix all the potato mix together, with a large pinch of salt, two
eggs, and the wheat flour. Now your mix is ready. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

large skillet on medium heat, heat up about a ¼ inch of oil. When the oil is
ready, plop in a spoonful of potato mix and push down. Place about 3 pancakes
in. Cook for about 7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Place on a paper towel
to drain excess oil, and sprinkle with salt. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Start by cleaning and slicing
both kale and your mushrooms separately. In a large sauté pan heat up your oil
on medium high heat, and put all of your kale in. Using tongs, turn the kale so
it evenly cooks for the first few minutes. Add the ponzu and let the kale cook
down, turning every 5 minutes for about 25 minutes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the 25 minutes are up, add the mushrooms.
Let cook an additional 10 minutes, turning every few minutes. Remove from pan,
and set aside. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Depending on what kind of sausage
you purchase, some are cooked first, others are raw; if cooked slice and brown.
If not, poke small holes, cook all the way through, and then slice. Set aside.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Fill a pot with water and a pinch
of salt. Once water has boiled add pasta and cook until just al dente about 9
minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Cube your butter, and melt it in
the same sauté pan as you cooked your kale on a medium heat. Cook until the
butter becomes a light golden color, add a pinch of salt. When butter becomes
the color, it becomes almost nutty and very delicious. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Once pasta is cooked, drain, and
place into butter, and make sure all the pasta gets coated in butter. Next add
kale, mushrooms, and sausage, and toss together! Sprinkle with extra salt to
your taste!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

National Forest where my (Francesca’s) parents currently live. It is about
40-50 degrees, which for people who live in California can be quite crisp. This
Thanksgiving we are spending it up here for a change of scenery, weather, and
pace. To go along with this more laid back and chillier holiday we are making a
real traditional English dish called a Scotch Egg, which is essentially a
boiled egg wrapped in sausage! It is a perfect breakfast dish, or served here
as a lunch item, but is also great to have as a snack, even a snack on the go…basically
great whenever. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

soft boil 4 eggs, by placing 4 eggs in cold water on the stove and heat water
to a boil. Once the water boils, boil for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and place
in cold water bath. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

can set everything else up. We are going to set up three plates; one with
flour, the next with two beaten eggs, and the third with the panko bread crumbs
and cayenne mixed together. Next Remove sausage from casings and add a pinch of
salt, then using your hands, mix everything together! To make things easy for
myself I separated the sausage mix into 4 equal portions. Lastly remove eggs

we are ready to assemble. Putting flour on your hands, take a sausage portion
and pat out into a large oval, large enough that it will wrap around the egg
but not so large that it will overwhelm it. Roll one of the eggs in flour, and
wrap sausage around it. Next roll sausage in egg, and then in panko
breadcrumbs. Set to the side and repeat for all four. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

turn oven on to 425, and pour oil into large sauté pan and heat on medium high
heat. To check to see if oil is hot enough, you can drop a few drops of panko
and if it sizzles it is ready. Place all four scotch eggs in the oil and cook
for 6-7 minutes, rotating so that they cook evenly, cook until it is a deep
golden brown. To finish off cooking place in oven and cook another 7 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

tossed with lemon and oil, and voila! Cut in half, enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Halloween swiftly approaches us, and we are getting deeper into fall we are
embracing fall flavors. My mother around this time of year likes to make
compound butters, so we are creating a delicious acorn squash compound butter,
to be accompanied by light and fluffy rosemary biscuits. Both of these are so
incredibly easy to make and in a short amount of time, and will forever be
party favorites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

making your compound butter. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Cut your acorn
squash in half so it is almost through the stem. Scoop out all of the seeds,
rub olive oil on both halves and put on a baking sheet cut side down. Bake for
25 minutes, or until soft. Once the acorn squash is baked, let cool. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

squash is cooling, let your butter soften at room temperature. Put half of the
acorn squash and salt into the butter and mash together. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

inch square of cling wrap or tinfoil, and pour half of the butter onto each.
Start to roll the cling wrap or tinfoil, twisting it at the corners, so that
you are starting to make something that looks like a sausage. Place both in the
freezer. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

the glorious biscuits! In a large bowl measure out your flour, baking powder,
and salt. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

removing all the leaves from the rosemary twigs, finely chop. Add to dry mix. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

cube the 6 Tablespoons of butter and add to the dry mix. Using two forks or two
knives, break up the butter into the dry mix until creating a mealy like
texture. Add milk a little at a time while mixing with a fork. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

baking sheet, and spoon out about 9-12 biscuits. We also used our hands to pat
little balls, but it gets pretty messy! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

a time, with vanilla, and then beat well. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda,
cinnamon, clove, and salt. Mix together well. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In small batches, pour the dry mix into the sugar
and butter mix. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">One cup at a time, mix in rolled oats using a flat
spatula of a large spoon. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">On an ungreased and unlined baking sheet, form
cookies. Make them by using a heaping tablespoon. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Bake for 15 minutes, turning half way through to
achieve an even bake. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Now to make the chocolate drizzle: while the cookies
are cooling, heat remaining 5 Tablespoons of sugar on medium low heat until
completely melted, once melted add chocolate and completely mix together. You
are going to want to make this pretty quickly because sugar can burn very
quickly, and it gets very bitter. Trust us we have burnt sugar more times than
we like to admit. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Now immediately drizzle the chocolate over the
cookies and enjoy!!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

created a wonderful and easy weeknight recipe that any busy
student/mom/dad/babysitter/tired person can make. Remember that good ‘old
instant ramen that we all loved because it is so easy and fast to make. Well we
have appropriated that with a home made broth and fresh ingredients to make a
superb vegetarian weeknight ramen. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

instant ramen is because Momofuku Ando invented cup of noodle in 1971 by
creating a noodle which has already been cooked and can just be re-cooked! The
noodles are so fabulously starchy and absorb so much flavor!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

just creating your prep work, letting a broth cook for about 30 minutes, and
soft boiling two eggs. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Start by rehydrating your
shitake mushrooms in a small bowl of warm water for about 15 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Next create your mise en
place by mincing your garlic, and by slicing your button mushrooms, shitake
mushrooms, Serrano pepper, chestnuts, and on a bias slicing your green onion
only up until the green turns white. Set aside half of the onions, and half of
the Serrano pepper.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Start making your broth by
combining your vegetable broth, water, and soy sauce and bring to a hard boil.
Once you boil, lower the heat to a simmer, and add half the onions, half the
Serrano pepper, half the bean sprouts, all the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, garlic,
and water chestnuts. Let simmer for 30 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">At about 20 minutes in, boil
water in a small pot. Once the water starts to boil, add to eggs. Put heat to
low, cover the pot with a lid, and let cook for 6 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">This is about the time when
you can add the noodles to the broth. It doesn’t matter which instant ramen you
get, because we won’t be using the flavor packet that comes with it. Add the
noodles in and let absorb the broth.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Once the timer for the eggs
goes off, take eggs from water, and run under cool water. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

we may now plate our noodles. In two (or four) bowls, place noodles and broth
in bowl. Top with raw bean sprouts, green onions, and Serrano pepper. Lightly
crack the egg shell, peel it off, and slice in half. Put your gorgeous egg on
your ramen, serve with chopsticks and enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939256426382010103.post-1508048688166252842014-09-25T00:10:00.000-07:002014-09-25T00:10:20.011-07:00Fall 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Dear Fall, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Please show yourself! It is far too hot in Los Angeles right now. We will buy fake leaves and throw them on the floor if we need to (I may have in the apartment already)! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Aside from that, we look forward to all the delicious wonders you will present us!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

is about to end, though here in Los Angeles it feels as if it never will. If I
could get some rain we will be happy campers, so will LA! The end of summer
brings some amazing stone fruits, especially at this time when it is so warm,
they get so juicy and delicious. There is no better way to honor the summer
than creating a simple roasted fruit dessert. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

roasted some wonderful pluots, peaches, and nectarines, topped it with some
sweet goodness and sprinkled some fresh mint! If you don’t want to use these
specific fruits, you can use whatever large stone fruit you like. Delish!!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

oven to 375 degrees. Wash and cut fruit in half, removing the center stone.
Place fruit cut side down. Bake in oven for 20 minutes, flipping fruit oven
half way through. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

the oven, make simple syrup, boil water and sugar for 5 -7 minutes. You want
the syrup to start to become sticky and a bit gel like, not super gooey though.
<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

make whip cream by combining heavy cream and almond extract and whipping with
an electric mixer until it starts to form peaks. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

chiffonade mint by rinsing the leaves, then roll up and slicing in small
strips. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

create the beauty that is this dish, loosely arrange fruit cut side up, pour
some simple syrup over but not too much! Plop some dollops of whip cream on,
and then sprinkle the mint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a
guaranteed dish to wow anyone, and is so simple to make. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

need to grasp onto the last rays of sunshine, the last warmth, and never let it
go! This dessert is very simple. It is within this simplicity that lay
something so delicious, and grabs onto the true taste of summer. Enjoy the

peaches, and by setting aside a baking tray. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

pieces, while removing the center pit. Remove any extra hard pieces that may be
left over. Puree the peaches in batches of thirds, so 2 peaches, roughly a
third of the ¾ cup water, a bit of sugar etc., until everything has been liquefied
together and poured onto the baking tray. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"></span><br />

that it lays flush. Let freeze for a few hours. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

by using two forks to scrape the frozen peach purree apart so it is like shaved
ice. Peel and chop up the four kiwis. Place some of the granita into a bowl,
and top with kiwi bits, and then shave some chocolate on top. The finale is drizzling
some condensed milk over the top!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

that you had a wonderful 4<sup>th</sup> of July! It never quite feels like
summer until the 4<sup>th</sup> happens, so now that it is really summer we
will fry, grill, live in bathing suits, have a tan, and be lazy (when not
working lol). To end the weekend off properly we offer you a delicious fried
chicken sandwich with a spicy kimchi slaw. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
