I buy bison for burgers instead of beef. Its very lean so I like to add some sauteed mushrooms (chopped fine) to the meat and then grill them. We're lucky to have a great meat purveyer where we can get bison ribeyes which are heavenly! What's the Deal With Bison Meat? Flag this comment	10/14/10 6:44 PM
Ratatouille and Caprese salad tonight, Zucchini fritters with tzatsiki & steamed mussels with no-bake bread for dipping tomorrow. Sunday is up the air but I'm sure a stop at the farmers market tomorrow will inspire me. What's Cooking This Weekend? Weekend of July 31 - August 1, 2010 Flag this comment	7/30/10 5:20 PM
Love, love, love saffron! My local spice shop has excellent quality saffron so I dont mind paying the price for it. I buy mine for paella and then usually have a bit left over. Try this recipe for a dipping sauce. Origionally made it for artichokes but now put it on anything! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/steamed-artichokes-with-almond-saffron-dip-recipe/index.html Ingredient Spotlight: Saffron \| Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Flag this comment	7/16/10 11:25 AM
I put the oil in the pan and pop it in the oven for a good 20 minutes to heat up. Take the pan out, throw in some herbs (rosemary) then potatoes. heating up the oil really gives them a good crunch!

Lentil Sloppy Joe's from the slow cooker tonight. Hoping to pick up some fresh spot prawns for tomorrow. Thinking a simple broth of garlic, wine, parsley and bay leaf to steam them in.

This is exactly how I make them. Wringing out the extra liquid is essential for crispy cakes. I individually freeze them on a cookie sheet and then pack them up once they are solid- no need for wax paper.

I saw a commercial which heralded Trix cereal as a good healthy choice. Just saw the documentary Food Inc which does a really great job at bringing this issue to life. Buy local and eat real food!
