What really marks autumn as a season are mushrooms and pork tenderloin. At least to me it does. This combination is the reigning king of autumn flavors. It even looks kinda autumny (is that a word?). Now the trick is to properly cook the tenderloin, yet still keep it slightly pink in the center so it’ll melt on your tongue. A lot of people tend to overcook their pork and that’s bad….
When I want to make my family happy, I feed them corn on the cob. Trite but true. Especially my son likes eating it. Seriously though, not only are the colors absolutely sensational, but the flavors are pretty mind-blowing as well when you throw in a little salsa/vegetable kind of sauce. It livens it up. There’s so much more you can do with corn on the cob than just slather it with butter and sprinkle salt…
Thanks for all the Velveeta recipes! Kayotic Kitchen goes US! While I wouldn’t touch the demonic Miracle Whip with a 10 foot pole ever again—still suffering from post traumatic stress—I was actully eager to try the Velveeta. It’s not something I’d normally eat, but trying new stuff is fun. And face it; a can of pringles probably contains the same (if not more) amount of strange chemicals and I have…
I was cruising the market stalls in our suburb yesterday—we’re spoiled here, a lot of ‘burbs have their own weekly farmers market—when I happened upon a cheese vendor selling Magor. It really surprised me. You can find this cheese in our local cheese stores, but bumping into it on the market is as rare as finding an honest and productive Dutch politician. Since the kiddo was off to his grandparents anyway (he’s not one for fancy…
A few days ago I tweeted something about shooting the best dessert ever. And I wasn’t lying. Seriously, anything that contains this thick, luscious and creamy caramel sauce is automatically labeled ‘best‘ in my world. And I don’t even have a real sweet tooth! Dulce de Leche, it sounds so decadent but it’s as easy as boiling a can! I needed this amazing caramel sauce for a recipe I’m making later this week, so I…
You’d think it’s easy for a garlic lover to come up with this, but it took me a long, long time to perfect my garlic sauce (hangs head in shame). But all was well again after I found this magic combo. I’ve been preparing it like this for several years now, so it’s definitely a tried and true recipe. The men in my life—all three of them—mutually agree this garlic sauce is the most incredible thing in…
