#BrunchWeek 2014 Shout-Outs: Chelsea, Lori, & Stephie

By
A few more 2014 #BrunchWeek blogger intros for today...


Chelsea at Chelsea's Messy Apron loves watermelon, peanut butter, fajitas, and mango...just not all together. Her Skinny Double Chocolate & Peanut Butter Muffins look amazing...and they are made without butter, oil, and flour. And they have very little sugar. Sounds like a winner to me. Another winner: her Tropical Quinoa Salad with Tangy Citrus Dressing.

Lori of Foxes Loves Lemons left the advertising world and went to culinary school. Her #1 rule in the kitchen: anything is better with a poached egg on top. I'll buy that...well, maybe not everything. But most things!

I noticed many intriguing recipes on her blog, but this one is stuck in my mind - Bacon & Brussels Pizza. How cool is that? I love roasted Brussels with bacon bits, but would never have thought to turn it into a main dish by putting on top of pizza dough. I've also bookmarked her Perfect Pear Strudel. I'm inspired.

Stephie blogs over at Eat Your Heart Out which is a completely new-to-me blog. Fun! Speaking of fun, I found a Blackberry Moscow Mule on her blog. Her Roasted Cherry Barbeque Sauce will definitely make it into my kitchen once we really hit grill season. And I might just have to pair it with her Summer Farro Salad.

Looking forward to the recipes that this trio will be posting next week. Hooray for #BrunchWeek.

    BrunchWeek should be EVERY week, IMHO.

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...

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

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.
