Of course they were too hot to eat, but that didn’t stop us. Tender, buttery rolls with a hint of sweetness shaped like puffy half-moons—who can wait? They looked like Pac-Man, and they were delicious! Video: How to Make Parker House Rolls What Are Parker House Rolls? The Parker House in Boston (now called Omni Parker House) was a grand old hotel built in the mid-19th century. Many politicians and famous people stayed there, and legend has it that John F....

“The time is NOW,” the garden seems to say, “take advantage of us while you can!” Here’s a quick and easy pasta side to help lighten the garden guilt, if only by a couple tomatoes and a handful of basil. It’s another favorite of my friend Heidi H (thanks Heidi!). This pasta dish uses bits of melty brie to bring it all together - the tomatoes, pasta, basil, garlic, and baby spinach, and is tossed with Parmesan before serving....

Now that I’m older, I’ve given up dolls, but not my love of strawberries. I grow strawberry plants in my garden, and I eagerly anticipate plucking the sweet berries from them each June. At the top of my strawberry-loving list is ice cream. My Ideal Strawberry Ice Cream When I started the process of creating my ideal ice cream, I knew I wanted the texture to be luxurious and the color to be light pink....

Here’s a quick tip for choosing jalapeños that can help you decide which ones to pick. Look for Stretch Marks As they age, some peppers develop white lines and flecks, like stretch marks running in the direction of the length of the pepper. The stretch marks are also indicative of the amount of stress the pepper plant has endured. A pepper plant that is stressed, having the soil get dry between infrequent waterings, appears to have an impact on the the hotness of the pepper....
In this vegetarian version, while not the same as a traditional bolognese, roasted cauliflower and mushrooms provide every bit as much flavor and texture as the meat version. Serve it over spaghetti, fettuccini, linguine, or pappardelle noodles, and you’ll enjoy a satisfying, filling dinner full of robust roasted vegetable flavors. The process of making this is not a slam-dunk in terms of time, but it does provide cooking therapy. When the steps occupy your mind, you can begin to focus on the moment, a good thing when times are challenging....

I may not have loved some veggies as a child, but as an adult, I crave them. If not for the fact that the other members of my family love their greens too, I could easily eat an entire serving bowl of pretty much any of the veggies that regularly grace our table. This baby bok choy dish by my mother, case in point. I think I ate most of the bowl, and then begged her to make it again the next day so I could get some good photos....
Maybe for fear of being unable to create a cake that resembled hers, I waited years to attempt a recipe of my own. A yearning for a taste of her pound cake and a coconut cake I ate at a street fair inspired me to finally try. An Easy Peasy Any Day Pound Cake This coconut pound cake comes together with just a few simple ingredients: flour, butter, sugar, sour cream, and unsweetened shredded coconut and coconut milk for a boost of coconutty flavor....
Back when I tasted it in the early 1990s, St. Louis was not known for its farm-to-table, seasonal, and local food ethics. But this restaurant catered to a somewhat hippie clientele and the name “green goddess” seemed appropriate. The dressing was bursting with herbs and salty flavor—which I later found out was anchovies—and I fell in love with it! What Is Green Goddess Dressing? Of course, the name Green Goddess is evocative of a statuesque woman, a sort of princess of mother Earth, so it makes sense that it would be packed full of fresh grown herbs....
Today we present to you a red version, with a tomato-based, clam-juice infused sauce, dressed up with some fennel and a little dash of anise liqueur. What Does Fennel Taste Like? Why the licorice note from the fennel and anise? Trust me. It just goes well with tomato sauce and seafood. Funny thing, my dad hates, and I mean truly despises, licorice. But he gobbles down Italian sausage like there’s no tomorrow, and the defining spice in sweet Italian sausage is fennel seed....
If you’re anything like me, you may find yourself falling into a rut of repetitive cooking in the weeks (and even months) after the holiday season. Right now, I’m burned out from hosting, and I’m feeling uninspired by the cabbage and Brussels sprouts at the store (any fresh fruits and produce are pretty limited here in Seattle). It’s been all too easy to fall back on easy family favorites and stay in our cooking comfort zone....
Just melt sugar and butter, and then add the oats and flour to make a thin batter. Don’t be scared of how thin it seems! The cookies spread and caramelize in the oven, creating a thin and crispy network of sugar that’s just substantial enough to hold the oats together. I use thick-cut rolled oats because I think they give more “bite” and substance to the cookies. Look for thick-cut oats in both the cereal section and the baking section - I like Bob’s Red Mill oats, personally....
What I love about this way of preparing salmon is that the panko topping seems to hold in the salmon’s moisture while roasting, so the salmon doesn’t get dried out at all. Some honey mustard spread over the top of the fillets provides the “glue” that holds the seasoned panko on to the fillets. The result? Salmon that is perfectly tender, flakey, and seasoned. And it takes less than 30 minutes to make!...
