I was recently tasked by my friends over at Lindsay Olives and Kitchen PLAY to come up with a delightful one bite bitty or, as it is called in more formal circles, an amuse bouche.

March 1, 2013 By Julie 9 Comments

So picture this…. one day you’re sitting on your couch, rump firmly planted into the cushion, checking your blog email when out pops an invitation to create a recipe for an upcoming movie.  And not just any movie mind you.  We’re talking The Croods; a Dreamworks animation, 3D, “croodatiously” awesome kind of flick.

Congrats to my Friend Faith on her Published Cookbook!

November 9, 2012 By Julie 14 Comments

I know I’ve been a bit lax with blog posting these past couple months.  Pregnancy with an unplanned fourth boy has a crazy way of doing that to you.  Despite all the excuses, I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to share the accomplishments of a very special friend.  My friend Faith Gorsky from An Edible Mosaic just had her first cookbook released: An Edible Mosaic: Middle Eastern Fare with Extraordinary Flair.   I’ve pretty much known Faith since I first began blogging.  We’ve supported each other, shared opportunities and just generally lifted each other up throughout the process that is food writing.  I can’t tell you how proud I am to help her introduce and promote her first published work.

Getting my “Master Chef” on with Food Lion and a $100 Gift Card Giveaway!

October 3, 2012 By Julie 55 Comments

Have you ever watched Masterchef, or maybe even Chopped where they’ve opened up their mystery basket and your first reaction to the ingredients was:

“If I was standing there right now, I would so have this round in the bag.”

Ok, me neither.  However, a couple weeks back I was invited to participate in the first local Food Lion Frugal Cookoff here in Charlotte, where I was given the opportunity to change all that for the better.  Eleven bloggers attended and the gauntlet was thrown down.

Caramel Apple Frozen Yogurt and a Lesson in the Art of Apple Growing from Tree Top

September 18, 2012 By Julie 10 Comments

A few months back I had the privilege of flying west to the great state of Washington and spending a couple whirlwind days with the amazing people at Tree Top apple juice.    I have to say, I always enjoy these adventures when they’re presented to me.  The generosity of the people sponsoring the event never fails to astound and the education you come away with is something you could only garner through viewing the process straight from the source.  This trip was certainly no exception.

Blogging and Baking with King Arthur Flour

June 6, 2012 By Julie 26 Comments

The welcome sign for King Arthur Flour’s newly renovated facility

Where to begin.

I just finished up a three day tour with King Arthur Flour at their Baking Education Center where we dabbled in the basic arts of everything from yeast breads to pastry dough.  To say this was a dream trip for me would be under playing the entire experience.   I have been wanting, no scratch that, needing to learn more about the art of baking for some years now.  It all began with a batch of homemade sourdough starter and grew from there, stretching so far as a dream to someday run my own boutique flour shop selling all forms of flour from the most common to the rarest artisan forms.
