I will be sharing more about the 2020 Sin Banderas Rhône Rosé for the March 2021 #WinePW event that focuses on the wines of Washington State's Yakima Valley. Stay tuned for more on that next weekend, but I am going to be posting several of my recipes ahead of time. The participating wineries  were so generous that I have more seven pairings to share. Seriously. Seven. So, I'm starting now and will continue throughout the entire month of March. I love pairing  Rosés with chicken. I paired their 2019 with my  Shichimi Togarashi-Spiced Fried Chicken . But this 2020 was more delicate and wanted a dish that was still subtly spiced that didn't overpower the mouthfeel with crisped panko crumbs. I settled on a Thai-inspired chicken satay with peanut sauce. Just be sure to start this the day before you want to serve because the chicken marinates overnight. Ingredients serves 4 to 6 Chicken juice and zest from 1 to 2 organic limes 2 shallots, peeled and finely minced 1-inch k...

This is my second month participating in a baking group called Bundt Bakers. And I am already enamored with the bloggers and their creative baked goodies. #BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our of lovely Bundts by following our  Pinterest board . We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about BundtBakers, can be found on our  home page . This month's prompt was from Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm. She wrote: "November is National Peanut Butter month.  Being mindful of allergies I would like to open this up to all Nut Butters.  The Nut Butter can be added to the cake itself or used as a glaze or frosting." Here's the line-up... Banana Bundt with Cocoa Peanut Butter Glaze from Sweet Sensations Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake from Patyco Candybar Easy Frosted P...

This month Kimberly from  Coffee and Casseroles  is hosting this month's edition of #FoodNFlix. Read her invitation:  here . She asked us to watch  The Addams Family or Addams Family Values.* It seems an appropriate month for good, ghastly fun; it's Halloween month and they are releasing a new (animated) Addams Family movie this month. And you have plenty of time to join in the fun, if you wish. Posts aren't due to Kimberly until October 30th. I mentioned the assignment and R said that he had just seen that DVD. So, he dug it out of the cabinet for me and all four of us sat down to watch it. D kept asking, "What is this movie? Why are we watching it?" Sadly, I think that he inherited my sense of humor...or rather lack of one. But the rest of us didn't complain too much and might have even enjoyed it. On the Screen The Addams Family opens with a scene of Christmas carolers and pans up to the housetop where you see the Addamses ready to upend ...

This is how inspiration works in my kitchen. Last night, it resulted in these cookies. I was dubious that the ingredients would actually result in a cookie, but they did! One of my best friends emailed me this photo. Another one of his friends had scribbled this down at swim practice. The only words in the email: "If you want to try…they are soooooo goooooooood!!!" Okay. Sold. So, I went to the website she references and found a slightly different recipe . Then, because I can't follow a recipe to save my life - well, I probably could to save my life - I slightly adapted it. I used three different kinds of nut butter, swapped out the vanilla for bourbon, and added hemp seeds. Ingredients 1/2 C bourbon pecan peanut butter (I bought mine at Mouth ) 1/2 C raw almond butter 1/2 C raw peanut butter 1/2 C honey (I used pine honey) 1 T bourbon 2 eggs, room temperature ½ t baking soda 2 T hemp seeds 1 T instant coffee 1/3 C semi-sweet chocolate chips ...

Today Erin of The Spiffy Cookie invited us to "Get creative and make a sweet or savory recipe using peanut butter and chocolate. I run #PBchocSat throughout the college football season (GO BUCKS) so I thought it would be fun for others to join me - whether you are a fan or not." So. Many. Possibilites.
