#BrunchWeek 2014 Bloggers: Our Hostesses

By

#BrunchWeek take a lot of coordination and effort - from courting sponsors to wrangling the bloggers - and these two lovely ladies are doing it with panache. I just wanted to shine a spotlight on them and their drool-worthy blogs.


Terri is the force behind Love and Confections and jointly spearheaded #BrunchWeek 2013 with Christine of Cook the Story.

While my family and I go olallieberry picking every summer, we've never had the opportunity to go blueberry picking. Terri has a great post about picking blueberries and shares a recipe for blueberry jam and one for crumb-top blueberry muffins. And, if that weren't enough to make you jealous, she toured and tasted at Lake Catherine Bluberries last Spring. Here are a few of her recipes that I have marked to try: Overnight Chia Seed Pudding, Blood Orange Sangria, and Individual Chicken Pot Pies.

You can find Terri on facebook and on twitter @Lovenconfection.


Terri's co-host for #BrunchWeek 2014 is Susan, The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen. Susan lives in Brooklyn and creates all of her culinary magic in an 80-square foot kitchen. Impressive.

I love that she has CSA-based recipes, including Purple Basil Lemonade and Kale Pesto.  Her Feta Stuffed Lamb Meatballs, Duck Carnitas, and Kimchi Fried Rice are now all on my short-list of things to cook.

Find Susan on facebook and on twitter @littleredkitchn.

Thanks, gals. Hats off to you for what is shaping up to be another amazing #BrunchWeek event! Just polishing up my posts and counting down the days. Hooray!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
