Savory Mushroom Bread Pudding

By
What do you do when you have leftover waffles? Make a bread pudding, of course! At least that's what I do. So when my friend made a barnyard-full of buttermilk waffles at her ranch during our mothers' day weekend, I tucked the leftovers into a container and took them home.

Tonight, those became the main ingredient in our dinner, a savory bread pudding full of mushrooms, tomatoes, and herbs. Delicious and so, so easy!



Here's the basic formula to adapt with whatever you have on hand: leftover bread, veggies, herbs, and enough beaten eggs to moisten the bread.

I used: 3 C cubed leftover waffles; 1 C sliced mushrooms; 1/2 C diced tomatoes or tomato sauce; 2 T fresh dill, minced; 1 T fresh garlic, minced; 3 eggs, beaten; and freshly ground pink Himalaya salt and flower pepper.

Mix all of the ingredients well until the bread is completely moistened. Press that into a buttered baking dish. Top with shredded parmesan cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the pudding is puffed and brown, approximately 40-50 minutes. Let cool slightly then serve in wedges, topped with a dollop of marscarpone. I sprinkled the marscarpone with some porcini mushroom salt - to stick with the fungi-theme.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
