Braised and Glazed Carrots and Parsnips with Orange and Cardamom. What an amazingly flavorful and bright winter dish with gorgeous sweet warmth! The orange and cardamom make these so special. Holiday fabulous, lovely with any roast, and the perfect accompaniment to Swedish meatballs!

Milk Street Vegetables. I can’t get enough of this book. The New Year is here! Regardless of your thoughts on resolutions, I think we can agree that we all need more vegetables and hydration in our lives. I blogged all about the book last week a few weeks back with a gorgeous Tomato Tart with Olives and Gruyere recipe. And their Patatas Bravas recipe. These links will take you there if you missed them!

Tomato tart with olives and Gruyere – Milk Street: Vegetables

by bernard.guerrero, posted in American, cookbook review, produce, recipe

#MilkStreet #177MilkStreet #MilkStreetVegetables #ChristopherKimball #JenniferGuerrero #Vegetables #Produce

Milk Street’s done it again! They are always super flavorful while being as kitchen-efficient as possible. Milk Street Vegetables is delicious and off the beaten path. I found that while I played in the book, I was centering dinner around the produce and coming up with a little coordinating protein and fresh fruit. Fabulous! Yeah. Totally giftable!

I’ll tell you all about the book and the dishes we tried in a minute, but first I wanted to give you a recipe to try. Tomato tart with olives and Gruyere. The flavor is gorgeous and it’s a total looker. And as frosting on that glorious cake, it’s ridiculously easy and quick. Rich puff pastry with earthy tomatoes and onions, briny olives and capers, mustard for a sharp flavor pop, finished with herby fresh basil kisses. We loved everything about this and it’s truly Tuesday night easy. Hope you love it, too!

A huge thanks to the folks at Milk Street and Voracious for letting me share this and two more upcoming recipes with you!

Speedy Pork Scaloppine recipe – Pioneer Woman Cooks: Super Easy!

#PioneerWoman #ReeDrummond #PioneerWomanCooks #SuperEasy #SheetPanSupper #Healthy #Delicious

Cutlets, scaloppine, schnitzel… Call it what you like, but every culture has a version of these with good reason – they’re awesome! If you’re not sure you love pork chops, here’s a great chance to fix that situation, or you could use chicken if you really want to. Just don’t skip the sauce. It’s wonderful. It’s like a lemony gravy. She suggests “loaded crash hots” (loaded little potatoes). Asparagus and green beans both play so nicely with that sauce, though…

One of my favorite things about Pioneer Woman’s books that you might not be aware of if you’re just grabbing her recipes online are the “Variations” and “Change It Up!” sections at the end. Once you’ve got the basic recipe down, you can transform it into several different dinners. Niiiice. I’m including those here so you can get a feel for them and have all the fun and yumminess!

I told you all about Pioneer Woman’s new book, THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS: SUPER EASY!, and shared recipes in my last couple posts. Missed them? Here you go! Thanks to William Morrow for letting me share them with you!

#PioneerWoman #ReeDrummond #PioneerWomanCooks #SuperEasy #SheetPanSupper #Healthy #Delicious

I love flipping through cookbooks with a fresh stack of post it notes. Pop my feet up in cozy socks, grab a blanket, turn on the fireplace. Yeah. Add a glass of wine for the ultimate “me time”.

I told you all about Pioneer Woman’s new book, THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS: SUPER EASY! , and shared the recipe for The English Breakfast situation in my last post. Missed it? Here you go!

This is the recipe that really stood out and made me want to stand up and run into the kitchen. It looks fabulous, and to my delight it totally delivers all the flavor I was hoping for! Sheet pan easy, flavorful, colorful, and filled with tons of produce and protein! Hope you love it, too! Go get you some oh-so-delicious “me time”! Thank you to William Morrow for letting me share it with you!

The English Breakfast Situation Recipe – The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Super Easy!

by Jennifer Guerrero, posted in American, British, brunch, cookbook review, recipe

#PioneerWoman #ReeDrummond #PioneerWomanCooks #SuperEasy #EnglishBreakfastSituation #FullEnglishBreakfast #FullEnglishBreakfastWithExtraBreakfast

Ree Drummond has a new book out, THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS: SUPER EASY!, and it’s fantastic! I’ll show you my full review of the book with all the dishes I tried, but first, I wanted to share a recipe with you! I always thought I was making the Full English Breakfast with extra breakfast, but I was missing the baked beans and mushrooms <shudder>! How good is it? I had one jar of homemade strawberry rhubarb jam left, and I have no rhubarb to make more. It was totally worth it! It’s supposed to serve 4-5, but my husband and I shared half of it, when our 17 year old walked in and polished off the rest. She just smiled with her eyes closed in satisfaction, said, “Thanks! That was so good!”, and left. I felt bad when our older daughter walked in, but I understand. It’s breakfast pilfering good.

A huge thanks to William Morrow for letting me share it with you! And they said yes to two more upcoming recipes. Woohoo! I bet readers who’ve been following me for awhile will know just which ones I asked for. Hope you love it!

Pasta attachments for the stand mixer, fresh pasta 101 demo, and Cacio e Pepe

by Jennifer Guerrero, posted in Gadgets

The guy from Gvode asked if he could send me a meat grinder attachment for my stand mixer to try. My KitchenAid stopped rotating after about two years. Breville, Vitamix, Wusthof, and FoodSaver make things right if there’s a malfunction. KitchenAid walks away whistling like the cable companies used to. They are way too expensive to die that quickly. Not to mention landfills. Where are you going to go, though? It’s essential equipment. My injustice bells went off. So I took it apart and popped up a blogpost teaching how to change the gear, step by step, in case it happened to someone else. It’s one of my most popular posts, so I know it’s common. So will I test out a far cheaper off-brand attachment? Heck yes! The Gvode meat grinder functioned exactly the same as the pricey one and had more accessories. When I blogged about it, the manufacturer came on and commented on my post that he puts it on a sale price every other week on Amazon so my readers can watch for a discount. Class act. He sent a pasta roller and cutter, too. I’m testing that, too, because it can potentially save people money. So let’s make some pasta!

Mojo-Marinated Cuban-Style Pork recipe and Cookbook review: Instant Pot Miracle

by bernard.guerrero, posted in Cuban, Instant Pot, recipe
#HMHCO @HMHCO

Instant Pot Miracle is a super neat Instant Pot book with a huge range of Instant Pot recipes. It’s pretty much one stop shopping. We loved everything we tried. Note that we found the salt measures really light, and generally doubled the salt. You can tailor the sauciness level afterwards by pulling out the meat or whatever and reduce the sauce to your perfect level using the saute button.

We loved the Mojo-Marinated Cuban-Style Pork, so I wanted to share that recipe with you. It marinates for a day before you make it, so be sure to budget the time. The flavors are spot on. Delicious! I served it with rice and sweet plantains.

The Best Damn Paleo Brownies recipe from The Whole Smiths Real Food Every Day

Okay! I told you all about The Whole Smiths Real Food Every Day last week. Amazing book!

Here’s that post with her Mole Chicken recipe if you missed it!

One post just isn’t going to do it! The Best Damn Paleo Brownies. I am embarrassed to say that after flipping through the book flagging recipes to try, I stumbled on this little gem, and made it first. LOL! Totally worth it! Because there’s no flour, there’s nothing dulling the flavor of the chocolate. These are intensely chocolately. The flavor and texture are terrific. These are my new favorite brownies! These are not just my favorite paleo brownies, they are my favorite brownies!

Mole Chicken recipe and cookbook review: The Whole Smiths Real Food Every Day

by bernard.guerrero, posted in Uncategorized
#TheWholeSmiths @TheWholeSmiths #HMHCO @HMHCO

Mole chicken. Did you just respond, “Yes, please!”? Mmmmm. Mole chicken is *usually* a really time consuming dish. It’s the kind of thing that makes most cooks just keep flipping through the book to something easier. This is about 1 1/2 hours start to finish, and an hour of that is the Instant Pot doing the work. This has great flavor and is comparatively very easy. Let’s do this!

The Whole Smiths Real Food Every Day. I love love love this book! Everything’s delicious, easy, and nutritious. Perfect! I’ll tell you all about the rest of the book after the recipe. Please note ~ I think the author must be using Diamond Crystal Kosher salt because the numbers are at the high end. I’m using plain old salt, so I cut the salt to 2/3 in everything which worked perfectly. Thought I’d share in case you use table salt, too.
