SRC Reveal: BCMom's Kitchen

It's the first Monday of the month which means one thing: Secret Recipe Club reveal for Group A. This month I was assigned to BCMom's Kitchen. Meet Anna who writes: "There's nothing like a home-cooked meal! In this age of fast food and busy schedules, it seems almost a thing of the past." She has worked to find recipes which are not only good, but easy and encourages her readers to get cooking!

Taking her 'easy' mantra to heart, I picked her recipe for a Cream Cheese Pesto Dip because I had blocks of cream cheese in the fridge from a cheesecake I didn't make for my husband's birthday - I made a Rhubarb Galette instead - and some leftover dandelion pesto - from a cookbook review I did of Miche Baker's Cooking with Flowers: Sweet and Savory Recipes with Rose Petals, Lilacs, Lavender, and Other Edible Flowers.

Cream cheese

Minced garlic

dandelion pesto (or whatever pesto you have on-hand)

~~Feta~~ (I forgot to add this)

Diced tomatoes
Lemon Zest

Layer all ingredients. No measurements, just whatever looks good to you. I skipped the feta inadvertently and added lemon zest just before serving.

Warm in the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes at 350°. Serve with slices of bread or crackers. Delicious and easy!

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.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday. My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons. Ke...
