Five foodie finds for Friday, February 22nd.

February 22, 2013 4 Comments
nwafoodie five foodie finds for friday

Hello my foodie friends, here are five more foodie finds for you to enjoy.

1.

Beige ladle rest. Are your spoon rests currently letting you down?  Mine work fine when it comes to the wooden spoon and a spatula, but for my ladle?  Forget about it.  It’s like playing utensil gymnastics and is all fun and games until the ladel hits the counter.  If you are like me, this ladle rest is intriguing for its shape and the interior ledge to hold the ladle in place.  Great price, too.

 

2.

Microplane pink Himalayan sea salt shaver set.  Regular white table salt is so yesterday.  It seems like everywhere you turn around a new type of sea salt hits you in the face… and they all intrigue me.  How about you?  If so, make the pure pink Himalayan sea salt your next choice and bundle it with Microplane’s specifically engineered grater than is built to handle the hardest of salts.  Nothing says, “Wow, you’re a foodie” when you whip this tool out and deftly grate salt over your finished dish.  Your guests will be impressed. Guaranteed.

3.

Doodles at Breakfast placemat.  Trying to get your kids to enjoy breakfast more?  Scratch that, trying to enjoy it more yourself?  Or, determined to be more light-hearted in 2013?  This fun product can handle all three of those bucket lists. 36 tear-off placemats allow you to doodle and release the inner-child in you as you merrily munch your granola.

4.

Swissmar fondue set.  Fondue is more than melted, calorie-laden, artery-clogging cheese.  Have you ever had broth-based fondue with cooked meats?  It’s fantastic and highly recommended.  This fondue set is heavy cast-iron on the outside and enamel coated in the inside for easy clean up.  Make this the year where you embrace the fondue-foodie within you.

5.

Cooks Illustrated weekly free newsletter. You may know them from the PBS show called America’s Test Kitchen or the Cooks County magazine.  I just know them as my favorite go-to online source for learning how to cook just about anything.  Their online service has a fee yet their weekly newsletter is free. For example, today’s edition explains how to “hunt for the crispiest, crunchiest, crackliest fried chicken” and how to cook “easy caramel cake, spanakopita, and roasted butternut squash soup.”  Sign up today, it’s free.  But I am warning you… you will get hooked and subscribe.  It’s inevitable.

Do you know of something that you think I should share for the next 5FFFF?  

Happy Foodie Friday!

Lyndi

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

    Love Cook's Illustrated and their in-depth articles. I have ambitions to cook my way through their Best-loved volumes. Maybe if I live to be 200! Happy day:)

      Okay, may you live to be 200 because that is a good enough reason to live that long if I ever heard of one!

      I love everything about Cook's Illustrated… especially their pen & ink drawings. I love how they test, test, test, and test every possibility of ingredients and cooking methods to find out which one works the best. Are you one of their Test Kitchen panelists? I am, let me know if you are interested and I will hook you up!

Once a month they do a drop in my neighborhood and I always look forward to the bounty of foods and household goods. My order may be small but I love joining in with everyone else to unload the truck! You may have a drop in your neighborhood. If you’re curious, I can tell you more!

This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my t This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my tub with all my handmade serving bowls (and one lovely @lecreuset dish), they all came crashing to the floor.⁠
⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?
The feeling after you ate too much. The feeling after you ate too much.
Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, aren’t you? Okay, I will make this brief. ⁠
⁠
Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!⁠
⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠
⁠
My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠
⁠

Ad. Quick – what is the first food that comes to Ad. Quick – what is the first food that comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving dinner?⁠
⁠
Turkey?⁠
⁠
Green bean casserole?⁠
⁠
Mashed potatoes?⁠
⁠
Sweet potato casserole?⁠
⁠
Corn?⁠
⁠
Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠
⁠
The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
