Five foodie finds for Friday!

February 15, 2013 2 Comments
foodie friday foodie finds nwafoodie

Hello my foodie friends, here is something fun for you to discover today.  Make that five.

 

1.

Chestnut tree honey. Be still my heart. Who wouldn’t want 8.8 ounces of dark aromatic French honey, produced by the fourth generation of the Gabriel Perroneau family based in Burgundy, France? Get this, according to the website, “the beehives go “on vacations” to selected French regions and gather the nectar of specific flowers to produce over 30 different varieties of honeys.” Seriously?  Okay, I’m drinking the Kool-Aid and the chestnut tree variety has won over my heart.

2.

Washable produce bags.  They are like having insurance for your fruits and veggies.  You’ve heard me talk aboutthis item before and they faithfully serve my household day in and out.  Washable, reusable, and make your crisper look snazzy, too.

3.

Hollowed candles.  These are not your grandma’s candles.  Neatly packaged in a box of twenty, these classic tapers (9 inch high) have five holes running down the length of the candle.  Instead of dripping onto your table, the melted wax flows into the holes.  Each one burns for about seven hours.  With these you won’t have an excuse to not add a little candlelight to your dinner table each night.

4.

Half-pint beer glasses.  The British know how to respect their beer and now you can, too.  At 10 ounces, they are ideal for serving smaller sized portions for yourself and your guests.  Adorable too.

5.

 Two poached eggcups and two hard-boiled egg dishes.  We are keeping it local, folks.  The Homestead Flea Market in Rogers has this curious find just begging a Northwest Arkansas foodie to snatch it up.  For $1 you can have two classic poached eggcups and two hard-boiled egg plates. First person to make it booth #69 is the winner.

Happy foodie Friday!

Lyndi

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

    LOVE, love this post! What a great spin on foodie Fridays, my friend!

    And oh, that honey. And the bougies.

    Covet.

    Love that you frequent some of my favorite antique stores. So glad you find a little personal time there – one of my favorite "escapes!"

    XO!

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
