Wow Chow Cooking

Boy, I’m glad I decided to sift through my 1,300 emails tonight. They’ve been sitting there since December! They are my “tech” email subscriptions, and I usually browse through them, well, like every three or four months! But I found some really great videos, tips, software programs, and 4-month old news. :-p Anyway, buried deep [...]

I mentioned earlier that I downloaded a new app for the iPhone, the Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Recipe Finder app. I’ve been toodling around with it a lot. I’ve built a list of favorite recipes from it. The best thing I like about the app is the ability to save a recipe, and the app with [...]

Oh, it’s winter– comfort food season! Unfortunately, I have been so busy with work that I have not been cooking very often. My poor kids have been forced to scrounge for meals these days. I just don’t have as much time as I used to, searching for recipes, tabulating the ingredients, writing a grocery list, [...]

Do you have an area in your kitchen that holds your recipes, papers, etc? I created a small nook in the kitchen–totally on the fly– and I’m going to be storing my recipes and such there. I’m pleasantly surprised at how well the area turned out. It’s more of an “everything” station. I created it [...]

Oh, I saw this recipe for Homemade Peanut Butter at Family.com in their recipes section. It looks so good! Store-bought peanut butter has become so expensive and is filled with so many salts and preservatives, yuk! Plus, I haven’t forgotten the PB recall a while back because a factory had contaminated PB with listeria. I [...]

Look at this screenshot. Doesn’t this make your mouth WATER?! It’s from Foodbuzz. That luscious dessert is Tiramisu, a luscious Italian dessert. The recipe is here, although it’s in Italian so i can’t make heads nor tails of it. Whatever it says, the dessert looks fabulous. I get emails from Foodbuzz just about every day, [...]

I’m searching for some really, really good cooking apps for the iPod. I love my iPod. I took it to the grocery store for the first time last week, because it had my grocery list on it. The grocery list app I have (Awesome List) wasn’t so hot. I like the app itself, but for [...]

I found this website called TasteSpotting. WOW. The stuff looks so good. It’s a “pictorial” kind of cookbook. There are almost 3,000 pages filled with photos. You can click a photo card to view the recipe, and print it out from your Acer Aspire or whatever. Yum! I saw a lot of Asian recipes, and [...]

During the kitchen renovation, as we are assisted by some dear friends throughout the project, I will be serving snacks and meals while they are here. On a given day, I may have as many as 20 people eating. I have to do all of this without a working kitchen (no stove, no sink, very [...]

I got this cookbook in a contest about a year ago. Sad to say, I haven’t used it much (I am notoriously neglectful cook when it comes to cookbooks; I’m more like a Mad Scientists when cooking), but I do admire it. And I think I will try out some of the recipes more and [...]
