oldies but goodies

By gwen -
This will probably come as a shock to exactly none of you, but... our food blog is pretty great. :) With my recent lack of cooking/shopping/recipe-browsing time, I am starting to rely on ol' Food Goodness as my main source of recipes -- just typing in the one or two ingredients I have and then making whatever comes up.

Multiple recipes from the archives have come through for me in recent days:

chickpeas, couscous and swiss chard
blueberry crumb bars (I did mine with strawberry and rhubarb and they are GOOD)
puffed rice power bars (these tasted good but fell apart -- don't skimp on the marshmallows, says Kelly)
curry grain salad (I made it with wheatberries)
chickpeas in tomato sauce with feta over polenta

You guys rule. Thanks for four years (!!) of recipes and for making my cooking life a little brighter. Maybe we should institute a new sidebar or something that resurrects old recipes from the archives we've rediscovered?

Full-time studenthood has meant that I haven't been cooking properly (and thus not posting) for the past few months, but I fully intend to make up for that this summer.

I'm the same, Gwen - this is the first place I come now when I'm looking for something to make.

Yay Food Goodness!!!

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

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
