67 Days of Gourmet: Day 58 I’m really embarrassed to admit that tonight was the first time I’ve cooked with quinoa. Bad foodie, especially given my love for all things healthy, whole grain and nutrient packed. And I’ve had it from the hot bar at Whole Foods and Earth Fare, just haven’t cooked with it [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 57 Yes, that is meatloaf in the picture above. Random, I know, but would you believe that Gourmet has a plethora of meatloaf recipes? Shocking. So I bought ground beef at the store this week with intentions of making burgers topped with pimento cheese but we ended up going over [...]

A perfect reason to enjoy a cool, flavorful salad with grilled chicken. I browsed through the grilled chicken salad recipes from Gourmet on Epicurious [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 54 This chicken dish is easy and so full of flavor. It was on my original list of recipes to make for 68 Days of Gourmet because it received great reviews and was originally published in 1974 (I’m trying to make something from every decade). I almost didn’t make it [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 53 I didn’t get a great photo of this salad…it was late and dark and we were hungry…but it’s really delicious. I don’t think a salad can get any better than warm melty goat cheese atop a bed of baby greens with a simple vinaigrette. The warm goat cheese rounds [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 51 Part two of our Greek feast – check out my homemade pita bread here. This dinner has been on the list since I first began researching recipes for 68 Days of Gourmet.

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 50 This was my first time making pita bread and it was a huge success. I followed the recipe directions exactly and the dough was a breeze to work with. I can’t even explain to you how much better this is than any store bought pita bread. It’s so soft [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 49 And yet another dessert recipe makes its way into 68 Days of Gourmet. I told myself that I wasn’t going to make any more desserts and that I really needed to make appetizers instead but then I found myself with a serious craving for an apple dessert last night. [...]
