The Mai Tai

August 13, 2010

Cross posted at Cincinnati Cocktails.
Hi, my name is Craig Hochscheid, I run the Cincinnati Cocktails website and I’m guest posting for Julie today. I’m crazy about Tiki cocktails, those exotic libations brimming with rum, fruit juices and spices that instantly transport the drinker to a tropical paradise with each and every sip. Tiki cocktails, and [...]

Recipe: Red Onion Pickles

July 7, 2010

I don’t often post recipes– not that I don’t cook, but I don’t really like doing process photos and staging my food. However, I can’t possibly go another day without sharing this super-simple recipe for something so delicious.
Pickled red onions are tres fashionable these days. I see them on the barbacoa and carnitas [...]

Dinnertime: Sloppy Joes

March 16, 2010

According to The Boyfriend, I was a deprived child.
I never ate Spaghetti-Os, Chef Boyardee, boxed macaroni and cheese or Manwich.  I didn’t do chicken pot pie, Aunt Jemima pancakes or peanut butter and jelly swirled together in a jar.  I definitely didn’t eat sugary kids’ cereals.  Okay, maybe I was kind of a boring kid. [...]

Cocktail Hour: The Aviation

March 12, 2010

Does it feel like Friday to you? I’ve been looking forward to Friday– and Friday night– all week. And Friday nights, for me, mean cocktail time!
Not to tread on Wine Girl’s domain, but she’s pretty busy with the Wine Festival this weekend, so I thought I’d throw in a post about one of my [...]

Super Bowl Eats 2010: Hummus with Chipotle

February 7, 2010

Last year, I made some bacon-blue cheese dip, that, while well-received, was not exactly light on the calories. I wanted to do something year that was a bit different– but something I’d like to eat the rest of the week. I peeked around Epicurious and found a recipe for hummus that had chipotles [...]

Marcella Hazan’s Simple Tomato Sauce (and another contest)

February 3, 2010

I really love to cook, and am finding myself cooking more often now that I have a big, spacious kitchen to cook in (and we’re no longer doing that dual residence thing, which can be a pain). One night this week I wanted to cook, but didn’t want to do anything complicated. Easy [...]

L’shana tova!

September 19, 2009

To my Jewish friends, a very sweet new year!
A traditional Rosh Hashanah dish is apple cake– I’m linking to a couple of recipes here both for my reference (man, do I love apple cake!) and in case you’re looking for a recipe.
Smitten Kitchen’s (which looks amazing), made in a tube pan for lots of apple [...]

Recipe: Baked Beans

July 9, 2009

One of the very first meals Terry made me involved baked beans– a stovetop recipe, that involved lots of onions, and it was delicious. Later, he made me this really wonderful oven variety, that involved pineapple and French’s onions. For a party at our friend’s house on the 4th of July, I combined [...]

An Old Friend: The Peanut-Banana Smoothie

June 29, 2009

(Guest post by The Boyfriend)
Julie and I have been on a smoothie kick lately.
Virtually every summer, I rediscover at least one favorite recipe.  It’s usually an old reliable standby that, for any number of reasons, dropped off the radar for a few years.  Last year, it was bourbon slushes.  (Hmm…I need to make a batch [...]

Review: City View Tavern

June 8, 2009

Ever since I started this blog (and divulged that Terry and I really  like a good burger), I’ve heard the same thing over and over again: “You have to try Cityview!”  Located in Mt. Adams, City View Tavern is known for a couple of things: Bloody Marys and burgers.
I’ll be honest– I hadn’t even wandered [...]
