Five Foodie Finds for Friday, November 8th.

November 8, 2013 2 Comments
Five foodie finds for Friday November 8 2013 (c)nwafoodie

Hello foodie friends.

Today’s finds jump from local Northwest Arkansas to France to Spain.  The really cool realization is knowing that even a Frenchman or a Spaniard can have a little bit of Arkansas delivered to them.

Enjoy!

1.

Arkansas Life. This classy Arkansas lifestyle magazine’s latest issue highlights one of our local Northwest Arkansas food treasures – Chef Miles James from James at the Mill in Johnson and 28 Springs in Siloam Springs. This feature article is over-the-top stunning and even provides us with a complete seven-course meal menu that we can recreate from start to finish. Hmmm, I wonder if I can pull it off.

 

2.

edible Ozarkansas. In case you didn’t catch my earlier ravings about another culinary treasure in our neck of the woods, edible Ozarkansas is the latest local magazine to launch in our region.  Focused on all things food-related in the Ozarks, edible Ozarkansas is part of the larger edible community here in North America and the James Beard foundation.  This is as local as it gets, folks.  Subscribe today.

3.

French almond macaroons. Do you like to wow?  There aren’t too many things out there that can wow more than a French-made and shipped overnight box of delicate macaroons. Comes in an assortment of chocolate, white chocolate, apricot, lemon, pistachio and raspberry. Seriously, what more can I say?

4.

Olivewood nutcracker. Are your trees dropping pecans, hickory nuts, or walnuts?  Or, like me, are you excited about this time of year because Walmart keeps action alley loaded with bags of mixed nuts?  Keep a bowl out this fall and winter along with this nutcracker from Spain. I love that these are safe for kids four and half and older so they can get in the crack-pop-snack action!

5.

Bread proofer. As temperatures drop and our nesting urges rise, we want comfort food.  Warm, toasty, gooey comfort food.  Baked homemade bread is just the thing!  A bread proofer allows you to have control of the heat and humidity during the rising and proofing stages. Don’t be nervous anymore. Add a bread proofer to your wish list and take out the guess work.  Good for gluten free breads and even for making homemade yogurt.

Do you have a foodie find that you would like to share?  Drop me a note at nwafoodie (at) gmail (dot) com.

Happy Friday!

Lyndi

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
