We went to sushi last night at our favorite spot- Hana– in Capitol Hill but when we got home, I was really craving something sweet! I had bought a jar of Dulce de Leche (milk caramel) from Cost Plus (World Market) a day prior so I thought I would try making Sipping Carmel. The recipe is inspired by a similar treat made at Walrus and the Carpenter in Ballard– yum! What you need… 12-16 oz of milk (I used 2%) 2 heaping tbsp of milk caramel (as I was researching, you could also use caramel syrup but it will turn out thinner) 3-4 pinches of sea salt Cheyenne pepper, to taste Black pepper, to taste (can be a bit more liberal than the Cheyenne…

Oh man. Last night when I walked into our loft, there where no words to describe the balmy fishy smell that was lingering in the air…and then Mark…standing, staring at me wondering what I was going to say, pretty priceless :0) I was actually preparing myself for the worse when I was coming up the elevator because I had already detected a hint of fish in the garage (later I found out that Mark had taken out the trash a couple minutes prior). SO- we opened up the windows and headed for Marcela’s Creole Cookery on James between 1st & 2nd in Pioneer Square. It was actually our first time and I have to say that I have been thinking about their Famous New…
Today I made a sardine. The loft stinks…I washed the dishes, threw out the trash and wiped down the counters (before ash got home)…then we left the house. Here’s how it started….I watched this Gordon Ramsay video. Of course I did not have all the ingredients in the clip but here is what I had: – 1 sardine Whole Foods Westlake – 1 Sourdough Baguette from Ralphs Belltown – pinch of salt, pepper – tablespoon horse radish – tablespoon ground mustard seeds – 2 tablespoons sour cream – 2 tablespoons plain greek yogurt Honestly…Im still not feeling right…the place still stinks and I rather not talk about it.

Mark’s mom typically makes homemade chicken soup on Mondays but this Monday his parents were in California…SO, I decided to make the classic- Minestrone. I have to say that this recipe was very light, yummy and full of tasty vegetables, beans and pasta shells. We did all our shopping at the Whole Foods in South Lake Union…they offer the most beautiful produce available- after Pike Place hours, of course :0) I did use a couple techniques adopted from the Pioneer Woman’s minestrone recipe … BUT I am the Pioneer SQUARE Woman so here is my take. Start with… – 2 zucchinis, cubed – 2-3 butternut squash, cubed – 8 oz white mushrooms, quartered – 2 tbsp olive oil – sea salt to taste Then……

I have to get this off my chest…when I was buying ingredients to make this savory snack, I walked the aisles of lower Queen Anne’s Safeway for 10 minutes before I realized that garbanzo beans where indeed, chickpeas!! Sheesh… The same feeling I had when I was scratching my head in front of the herb section trying to find “coriander” for my chopped dish- duh…Cilantro!! Anyway, these guys were super easy to make and you can add whatever spices you prefer. You just need: – 2 cans garbanzo beans/chickpeas – about 2 tbsp olive oil – and about 2-3 tsp of your own spice mix… I used the following: – 1 tsp ground cumin (which I would consider using less next time) – 1…

Mark’s favorite cookie (other than the classic chocolate chip) is an Oreo…which he has perfected the process and technique of milk absorption and timely consumption to a T ! :0) So I thought I would try to make homemade Oreos…the easy way. For the cookies you just need: – one devils food cake mix – 2 eggs – 1/2 cup oil, butter or shortening…I did happen to have shortening, so I used it! Preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Blend the cake mix, eggs and oil/butter/shortening in a bowl…the dough is really heavy and oily (it is OK…). Roll the dough into little balls about 1″-1.5″ and place them on a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper. I am obsessed with parchment paper– BEST…
