For many people, a big bowl of macaroni and cheese is comforting…for others it might be a big cheese pizza, well everyone get ready for the ultimate comfort food…..Macaroni and Cheese Pizza by Ian’s Pizza. Among their Mac n’ Cheese pizza, you can also get things like Tomato Pesto, Buffalo Chicken, and even your very own slice of Lasagna Marinara topped pizza. Unfortunately if you’re located in the west coast then you’re out of luck cause there are only 3 Ian’s Pizza and they’re located in Wisconsin and Illinois. Booooooooo….guess us Cali people will have to find somewhere else to eat greasy specialty pizza…lol
If Marie Calendar’s Banana Cream Pie made love with the big chocolate chip cookie from Mrs. Fields then the result would b be this delicious, sweet, and very yummy baby.. lol. I can only imagine how great this pie could taste! Hm…I guess I could buy the 2 and mash them together but I doubt it would taste as good. Jon would probably eat it but he’s not picky…lol. Anyhoo, check out the recipe on Vintage Victuals and read up on the other posts about other sexy food you could imagine eating.
When Jon was going through the fire academy he use to bring a peanut butter sandwich for lunch and sometimes for kicks he’d add a banana in it. I never understood how good the combination was until he made me a sandwich. Wow.. it was super Yum! The banana is sweet and moist, the peanut butter is salty and sweet, and the crispy toast all make this combination perfect. Even though Jon didn’t fry the sandwich like this recipe, I still thought it was really good cold. Check out Jaime’s other posts on her blog for more yummy food photos and interesting thoughts.
I LOVE sandwiches and if it’s pressed panini style then I love it even more! The crispy bread, hot ham and egg, creamy cheese… yummmmmm. Photographer Laura Flowers documents all the very yummy food she makes by shooting some of the sexiest food porn worthy photos that will make your tummy growl. Check out the recipe for this yummy sandwich on her blog and add don’t forget to add her as a friend on her Myspace page.
Whenever I have KFC or Church’s chicken I always peel off the skin. Even though the chicken skin is probably the best part of eating fried chicken, I never thought that there would be a place that sold fried chicken skin minus the chicken! I’m guessing it tastes pretty darn good and maybe even bacon-ish?? If you want to read more on it checkout Jon’s blog at “the world according to jonolism“.
I’m not the biggest jam/jelly fan but this picture really made me wish I had some toast or scones near by. YUMMMMM it looks soooo good!
Apparently this is a recipe from Alton Brown’s Good Eats and even though I’ve always known that preserves had a ton of sugar in it….but almost 4lb of sugar? WOAH! Apparently the sugar in preserves helps well.. preserve the fruit. Where did I learn that you ask? From Chow.com’s YouTubevideo about Jam. This video is filed under the playlist Obsessives and I LOVE that playlist!
Watching this video makes me really makes me appreciate obsessions/passions that people have to create such beautiful food porn for us to enjoy. Bow chica bow bow….yum..
So if all this talk about yummy jam has inspired you to make some, be sure to checkout Tom’s blog to see his experience on recreating this awesome marmalade cause he’s got some great tips. Don’t forget to thank him for such a yummy photo!
I just love watching shows that highlight fun and funky local places! Sooo..for all you California peeps, checkout California’s Gold. It airs on KCET and I just love watching the show because Huell Howser (the host) goes to all these different places that I would never know about if he didn’t feature it.
One day while I was watching the show (and fishing in Warcraft) I saw that Huell decided to do a special on a dairy farm. Apparently this dairy farm has a really popular seasonal item and it’s their egg nog. As Huell was showing the process of making the sweet drink, it reminded me of a place Jon had mentioned going to while he was on duty. Turns out, it was the same place!
Broguiere’s Farm Fresh Dairy is located at 505 S. Maple Ave, Montebello CA 90640 and since its a quick 15 minute drive for us, we decided to check it out before they stopped selling their famous egg nog. The place is a small drive up stand and you can stay in your car while you let them know what you need. They have everything from eggs, butter, milk, chocolate milk, egg nog, and even cottage cheese. We decided to pickup a lowfat milk, chocolate milk, and of course their egg nog. You can buy the drinks in plastic bottles but of course we opted for the authentic milk bottles.
As soon as we got home I had to break out our mugs and taste everything we purchased. Their milk is very tastey and slightly sweet, their choclate milk was actually not that sweet and had a great smooth chocolate flavor, and their egg nog was very rich and reminded me of a just melted shake…yummy and so thick and smooth!
So… check them out when you can before the holiday season is over and for those of you that don’t live close to Montebello, checkout Pavilions cause I think they also carries their products.
This is the front of the bottles. Left to right: Egg Nog, Lowfat Milk, and Chocolate Milk
This is the back of the bottles. I was surprised that the picture of Huell Howser isn’t on the egg not and actually on the chocolate milk cause on the show they mentioned that the special bottle usually holds their egg nog. Not that it really makes a difference to me.. lol
Here is the cool bottle holder it came with. It’s super sturdy and just looks so cool to me
I’ve known Jaxon for at least 5 years now and I’ve never seen him cook anything. I’ve heard that he makes a mean ramen from the package but never tried it, so who knows if it’s true…lol.
Anyhoo…since we were in Las Vegas for a week earlier last month, Jaxon decided he would whip up his famous beef tacos for us to eat. The day he cooked was the day Blizzard released World of Warcraft’s 2nd expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. So while Jaxon slaved over the stove, Jon and I got to explore Northrend.
The video might not be super exciting for most of you guys but I think it’s pretty funny. I guess you’d really have to watch the whole video to see my favorite part.
Woops forgot to mention that the tacos were really really tasty! The shell was just warmed and slightly fried while the beef was soft and flavorful. I added some salsa verde to mine and it was super yum
So a few days ago Jon and I went to the Hong Kong Supermarket in San Gabriel and picked up a few things, one of them being this Korean Tofu powder ($1.99 btw). We love eating this stuff at all the Korean tofu places near by, but the thought of making it at home while in PJs was just too fabulous!! I’m sure this isn’t a new thing but since it was the first time I had seen it, I had to get it.
It was super cold tonight so I decided to make it and of course blog about it! lol I’m lame…
1) Opened the package and noticed that it contained 3 servings. The larger packets were the seasoning powder and the smaller ones chili oil.
2) Measured out 8oz of water and boiled it in a small pot. Added the seasoning packet once the water was boiled. Turned down the heat.
3) Opened 1 container of silky tofu and sliced it in 1/2 cause I wasn’t about to eat 16oz of tofu by myself (come to think of it…I don’t think there would have been enough soup for 16oz of tofu…not in 1 serving at least).
4) Didn’t have fresh mushrooms on hand so I found a can of mushrooms and decided to throw half of it in. Of course I didn’t forget to add an egg to the pot cause that’s the best part of the tofu dish in my opinion.
5) Turned off the stove, poured the chili oil into the pot, and poured it into a bowl.
Overall the taste was ok…reminded me of those Mama ramen packets minus the lemongrass taste. It was spicy but maybe between a medium to spicy if you were to order it at a Korean tofu place. I think I should have used chicken broth instead of the water cause it might have added more flavor. Throwing in some real Kimchi probably would have helped.. lol Anyhoo, if i had to rate it, I’d probably give it a 6.5/10.
I do have to say that maybe I missed all the little sides you usually get when you go to a tofu place…but I did have a piece of gum after the meal and immediately spit it out to make sure that the flavor would only last 3 seconds… you know…to keep the experience authentic.. AHAHAHAHha
I’m not a huge pancake fan… I’m more of a waffle sorta girl.. but I know a lot of people love to eat pancakes and I’m sure they’ve never tried deep fried pancakes! The truth is, almost anything deep fried is good but I’m not sure if having deep fried food in the morning is a great idea.
Checkout the full article at Grocery Eats. There are photos of the whole deep friend pancake making process so you can make your very own heart attack food at home
