Any Way You Slice It!

Get out those knives, pizza cutters, mandolines, and any other slicing tools because this week it's...

Any Way You Slice It!

Make any Ellie Krieger recipe that can be sliced. Maybe you want something savory like pizza, a baked casserole, a quiche or a sandwich. Or maybe something sweet will catch your eye--like a pie or tart, cake, or dessert bars. As long as it can be sliced or features sliced ingredients, it works!

Make and post your Any Way You Slice It dish by Sunday, November 8th!   

Please remember to link up a thumbnail image of your dish and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your post.

Happy Slicing!

Think Orange!

This week we're going to...

Think Orange!!!

It's October and the color orange is predominant whether it's in the fall leaves in some parts of the world, the pumpkins piled up at the grocery store, or all of the Halloween decorations popping up everywhere.

You can Think Orange! this week by making an Ellie Krieger recipe featuring or including orange-hued ingredients. Fruits, veggies, cheese, egg yolks and more..., there are plenty of orange ingredients out there to choose from!

Make and post your Think Orange dish by Sunday, October 25th!

New Monthly Featured Chef Event: Nigella Lawson!

Nigella Lawson

One cannot help but fall in love with Nigella Lawson. Nigella's passion for food and cooking is almost tangible, as if you can reach out and feel it.  This same passion is contagious and ignites the fire in all of us. We love her for that! This week is a dedication to the glory of Nigella and her recipes.

"I don't believe you can ever really cook unless you love eating" - Nigella Lawson 

Our new Monthly Featured Chef Event is a great chance to go back and revisit our favorite chefs and make a new recipe, or go back in the archives, and make a recipe that eluded you the first time around.

What Nigella dish will you make this week?

Please make and post your Nigella Lawson dish by Sunday, 18th! Don't hesitate to tell us why you love Nigella so. Feel free to share your favorite Nigella pic, Nigella quote (we love the way she describes her dishes), and/or share with us your favorite Nigella recipes. Please remember to link a thumbnail image and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your dish.

Au Revoir Chef Pepin! {Until We Meet Again}

It's been a wonderful adventure cooking the recipes of the illustrious Jacques Pépin.  Along the way we've cooked food Jacques' way; learned new techniques; gained some new favorites; and of course, learned some classical French dishes. Now it is time for a new adventure in the kitchen as we say a very fond  Au Revoir Chef Pepin {Until We Meet Again} !

If you'd like to join in the fun, please make and post your Au Revoir Chef Pepin dish by Sunday, October 4th!  Also, please feel free to do a roundup of your favorite Jacques Pépin dishes! It is always nice to see which dishes were favorites. Plus, it gives us a chance to take note and try them for ourselves. Please remember to link a thumbnail image and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your dish.
