#BrunchWeek 2014 Shout-Outs: Courtney, Ashley, & Alice

And the 2014 #BrunchWeek blogger intros continue...


Courtney at Neighboorfood  has an entire gluten-free section of her blog. While I am not gluten-free, several of our close friends are. So, I'm excited about trying Courtney's GF Strawberry Lemonade Valentine Lintzer Cookies. And her Tomato-Bacon Jam had me longing for a jar. As soon as I see some fresh tomatoes, I'm making it!

Ashley runs the blog Quarter Life Crisis Cuisine. Her favorite foods are tacos and sushi. And I adore her To-Cook List. I, too, plan to attempt homemade bagels one of these days. Check out her Greek Lemon Chicken Soup, Campfire Quiche (I'm taking that recipe on our annual 10-day camping trip), and Gruyere Apple Tart. I've always wanted to make a cheese + apple dessert; I just never got around to it. I will now.

Alice is one Hip Foodie Mom. And she freely admits "I am hopelessly addicted to coffee, chocolate cake and any and all Asian inspired recipes." As luck would have it, one of the first recipes I found on her blog is one that I had at a brewery last weekend...and I was wondering where to start to recreate it. Thanks, Alice...this is perfect: Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps. Her Extra Spicy-Honey-Sriracha Chicken Wings are also calling my name. And on the chocolate cake side of things, her Chocolate Mini Bundts are drool-worthy.

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. 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

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...
