As August falls into the shadows and September brings us summer’s final lingering days, I find myself clinging to nature’s greatest gift during these hot and humid months, the tomato. And while I will happily indulge in an heirloom dressed in nothing more than its birthday suit, it is a perfectly crafted caprese salad that will leave me pinning for …
Here’s the thing about me; try as I might, I have a type-A personality. Spontaneity and general risk-taking do not come naturally to me. This penchant for order and structure has certainly served me well throughout my life and I came to accept my place in the world as a rule-follower long ago. I created foodie-girl in 2011 with the …
Egg rolls fall into that category of food I find far too intimidating to tackle. Outside of the steady and practiced hand required to assemble these perfect little packages, my complete lack of familiarity with the flavors and seasonings of Chinese cuisine left me feeling unsure of where to start. After a fair amount of practice rolling spring rolls (find …
It must be a special occasion if prime rib – also known as a standing rib roast – is on the menu. The look alone of this coveted cut of meat is impressive, the sheer size indicating that company must be coming and the host is aiming to impress. This is not always the easiest cut of meat to obtain …
While I am an unabashed lover of pizza, I tend to be a purist when it comes to my favorite food. I’m more or less addicted to my marinara recipe and think it is the ideal base for a building any pie. A recent freelance assignment challenged me to craft a pizza fit for the fall season and I found myself …
It’s hard to improve upon a classic hot dog, especially when it is made of grass-fed beef. On it’s own, this hot dog is wonderfully delicious, possessing a nostalgic quality only bestowed upon certain food items. The hot dog is one of those childhood staples that never falls off our radar. It will forever have a place in our lives, …
In my hands I am holding an ample sandwich, the bread buttered and toasted, the bacon thick and salty and the tomatoes at the peak of ripeness. I open my mouth wide and take a bite, the lettuce crisp and refreshing against the bite of the horseradish-spiked mayonnaise. A BLT of this sort is one of summer’s most wonderful gifts …
I suppose one could wonder what panzanella salad and sirloin steak have to do with one another. Alone they are delectable and addictive but together? Well they are one of the most beautiful unions in the culinary universe. In the interest of not protesting too much, just take the time to imagine a cast-iron seared sirloin steak, the fat rendered, …
In my opinion, a good steak doesn’t need to wear anything more than a dress of course salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sure there are boldly flavored marinades and spicy rubs that shine a delicious light on a beef-centered dish. However when you have humanely raised, grass-fed beef at your fingertips (such as you will find at Foxhollow Farm), …
What’s not to love about food in mini-form? Variety abounds when you can indulge in not one but two or more of a shrunken version of the classic burger. Z and I had a delicious time tasting different toppings and accompaniments, a few of which I highlight in this month’s Foxhollow Farm recipe. A blend of Foxhollow’s ground beef and ground …
