| Description: | A food blog to share the fun things we make and do. Our plan is to not only share recipes we (and our buddies) have made and enjoyed, but also restaurant reviews, in-depth analysis of various ingredients, local listings of food classes and great boutiques, and what we think is missing from a lot of food blogs - what's going on in the food industry. Because yes, we love to cook from scratch, but seriously we can't do it every day. So we, like the rest of you, often rely on what the food industry puts out. |

Forkful #31: A Cushy Kitchen
As Thanksgiving is just a few days away, a good handful of you are probably thinking of how not-so-fun it’ll be to be standing in the kitchen prepping the feast for hours on end. It’s particularly not fun for your feet, which can get sore and tired while you stand there chopping, trussing, sauteing, mashing, you get the idea! The pros certainly know this, and they use gel-filled floor mats, which takes a lot of stress of your feet, and on up

Forkful #32: Start A Foodie Fight
We picked up this fun game a couple of years ago to play with the family around Christmas time. Byron’s family are all of the foodie persuasion, so we thought it would make for a great activity. The only problem turned out to be that since everyone thought of themselves as quite knowledgeable on the subject, there was alot of objection and pseudo-outrage when the answers weren’t what they expected! Despite a few answers th

Forkful #33: A Blender in the Palm of Your Hand
This is one of my favorite kitchen tools – a stick blender (or immersion blender). You just plunge this baby down into a sauce, soup, etc. and in no time flat it blends it up for you. No need to get out the blender or food processor to de-lump that tomato soup… just leave it in the pot and use the stick blender. It also affords you a great deal of control on how smooth you blend something too; because the liquid stays in the original container you don

Forkful #34: Seal That Stuff Up!
We all know the current trend: the economy is down, everyone is cooking more and eating out less, and shopping more at the club stores like Sam’s Club and CostCo. The trouble with that is, what do you do when you get home with a family pack of 50 pounds of pork chops? We typically try to divide those big packs up into the portions we’d want at any one time and then freeze them in Ziplock bags… unfortunately that just creates the ticking time

Forkful #35: Keep Those Herbs Fresh!
How often do you buy fresh herbs? And how often do you throw out half of them a few days later because they’ve become a brown, wilted mess? It’s the same in our house, and honestly, unless we have a recipe in mind that calls for specific fresh herbs, we just don’t buy them because they end up being thrown out. Well, here’s a way to fix that! These little pods on the left didn’t come from the mothership, and they’re not mi
