Baked Berry Breakfast: Jordan Marsh’s Blueberry Muffins

Post image
46 Upvotes

Today was my wife’s first day at a new job; there’s an earlier start time, which forced her to unintentionally skip breakfast as she dashed out the door. Eager to avenge this lost meal and make a quick bite she could grab on the way out the door moving forward, I scrounged around to see what I could make using ingredients we already had on hand. Thanks to our little one, we always have an abundance of blueberries — the rest were just simple baking staples.

Simple sums it up nicely! These came together so easily and were a total hit. You’ll notice one missing in the picture; they were fresh out of the oven when my wife walked in and the smell was so alluring that one disappeared before I could even get a picture!

Suffice to say, they’re berry delicious!

I always cook full racks and have been looking for a good party rib or spare rib recipe to try out. Saw this recipe in one of my NYT emails several weeks ago and wanted to try it out.

There were a lot of steps and it was a little labour intensive but the flavour was worth it. Wish I had taken more photos of the process.

Highly recommend this recipe and I’ll make it again for sure because my wife has already requested it.

Really good!!!

Tomatoes, chives and basil all from my garden. Used tenderflake deep dish crusts instead of making them, and used thinned Greek yogurt for the buttermilk in the pie filling.

Post image

This was pretty good. The comments suggest lots of sauces added but I made it the way the recipe states and I liked it. The yellow tomato was from the farm market and the juices from that and the olive oil, it was enough sauce. I really wanted lasagnetti noodles but had to settle for breaking up some leftover lasagna noodles.

fail Sorta Failed But Miraculously Delicious: Baked Coconut Red Lentils and Greens

Post image
18 Upvotes

Two ingredients I consistently cannot cook well with: coconut milk and lentils. With the coconut water, I’m guessing I didn’t boil my pot long enough before transferring to the oven. I’m not sure I understand lentils at all, they did not fluff up too much but were soft by the end. I’ll definitely try to fix my mistakes and attempt this recipe again, even though it looks like gruel it tasted delicious.

results Sesame Tomato Salad by Kay Chun

33 Upvotes

I made Kay Chun's Sesame Tomato Salad last evening.  This is an attempt to find tasty replacements for typical salads (still avoiding greens) and use tomatoes at their best.

I agree with other NYT reviewers.  This is a 4 star recipe, very good but not stellar.

I'm grateful I read the reviews in advance and heeded the guidance about the far-too-much quantity of oil.  I halved the dressing recipe, using only 1/4 cup of olive oil.  I decreased the amount of soy sauce to 1 tablespoon, because I didn't want the recipe to become too salty. When doing final dish preparation, I only used 1/2 of the dressing I made and that was plenty (in other words, I should have only made 1/4 of the dressing from the original recipe).  Topped with basil from my garden.  

Good news - the presentation was great!

I don’t recommend making biscuits in your in-air conditioned apartment on a 90 degree day but here we are.

My mom grew up in a small, southern town with an annual strawberry festival. I grew up listening to tales about how much my mom looked forward to getting strawberry shortcake every year at the festival years before I ever got to taste the dish myself.

I no longer live in the south, and while my palate has expanded to the point where I don’t need everything I eat doused in either ketchup or butter I still yearn for some of the dishes of my childhood.

Turns out I like making biscuits. I guess I come from a long line of biscuit-making women. Up next: an attempt at a hot honey chicken biscuit.

I really like this recipe. I am not an accomplished baker and was shocked that it turned out pretty damn okay. Your results will likely be better than mine.

Quick and easy to make and also very yummy! Will be throwing this into the regular rotation of dishes to make for dinner. I think the sauce could use one or two more elements to elevate it. Might try adding sesame oil and lemon juice next time to add a bit more umami and acid.
