Calling all bakers!

By -
Admittedly, this is not a recipe-specific post but I'm looking for bakeware suggestions from the bakers out there. The silicone bakeware I have is beyond awful and I need to replace it. I've heard good things about Baker's Secret and just ordered to 8" cake pans from them to try out. I'd love to hear about what product line(s) work(s) best for you. I'm in the market for a 12 cup muffin tin and a loaf pan as well. Thanks!

I've got Bakers Secret baking sheets and muffin cups, and I like them very much. I don't like the silicone bakingware at all, I've got some, too.

I have some pieces of Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch bakeware: 2 half-sheet pans, 1 cookie sheet, 2 loaf pans, 2 cake pans. The stuff is nonstick. I love it because cookies come off so easily and cleaning it up is a breeze. (Cleanup is especially important to me because I don't have a dishwasher.)

Is this stuff better than some other brand of (less expensive) nonstick? I have no idea. However, I've had my things for at least a few years now, and there are little to no signs of wear, tear, or warping.

I don't have any brand ideas for you, but I do really like my silpat mats that I use on cheap-o grocery store pillow cookie sheets. Cookies come out soft on the inside and just chewy enough on the outside.
mmm...cookies...

I have only cheapo grocery store crap and/or hand-me-downs from my mom that are good quality but heavily used for like 20 years. Tell us what you decide -- I need something to which I can aspire!

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi

Apple Cranberry Stuffed Pork Roast Recipe

By Alissa -
from: Simply Recipes ok, this recipe sounds a little involved... and it is, but just a little. It really wasn't that bad, and the results were super fantastic. I should have taken a picture after I made the first slice. It was definitely an impressive holiday-worthy dish. Check out the original post here for pictures of the whole butterflying process. It really was not difficult. I didn't have a few of the ingredients, so my substitutions are in parentheses. Also, I was thinking you might be able to do this with a boneless turkey breast as well, if you're not a pork eater. Filling 1 cup apple cider 1/2 cup cider vinegar 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 large shallot, peeled, thinly sliced (I used a yellow onion) 1 1/2 cups dried apples (packed) (I used 2 Granny Smith apples, chopped) 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger 1 Tbsp yellow mustard seeds (I stirred in a little dijon mustard instead) 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice (I used cinnamon and
