Bacon Fiend: Dried Cranberry Custard
http://baconfiend.blogspot.com/2014/04/dried-cranberry-custard.html
Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Friday, April 25, 2014. I love custard and have lately been playing with various flavors. Lemon, honey, ginger. Yum! Vanilla, honey - tasty but boring. Dried cranberry. Yummy! The main thing with this one is there is some planning - since you want to soak the cranberries in the custard mix. I let it sit in the fridge for about 2 days and it worked out brilliantly. I think this would make a good holiday desert. I know, it kind of looks like grapes! Cook ...

Bacon Fiend: June 2013
http://baconfiend.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Monday, June 3, 2013. Chicken stir-fry with cashews. We have some awesome CSA's. Tomato Mountain, which provides us huge amounts of vegetables. And, Meadow Haven Farm that provides us with all our meat. Now, just to find a beer CSA. :). Two kinds, no less. Red Russian (which I used for this dish) and Lacinato. So, we had a lot of greens in this dish. But, you can use whatever you have on hand. Don't you love stir-fry's? Chicken Stir-fry with cashews.

Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Kofta, Albondigas, K' ttublle…a meatball with any other name is still just as yummy! I am completely fascinated by meatballs. When I was a kid, I didn't realize that there were other ethnic cultures with meatballs. Oddly, I thought only Indian's and Italian's had meatballs, a "I" thing. Unlike the rest of America, who apparently only knew of Italian style meatballs - at least among my non-Indian friends. Speaking of creating,...

Bacon Fiend: Yemeni Style pot roast
http://baconfiend.blogspot.com/2013/11/yemeni-style-pot-roast.html
Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Friday, November 15, 2013. Yemeni Style pot roast. I'm not really sure of the authenticity of this Yemeni spice blend - but I'll take my book's. Word that this is a Yemeni Spice blend. In looking up origin, it seems from the flavors that this is a Mughlai-style Indian than a Middle Eastern style blend. Either way, real or made up, it's a tasty dish and a new flavor for pot roast. 2 teaspoons ground black pepper. 1 1/2 teaspoons ground caraway. If you ar...

Bacon Fiend: July 2011
http://baconfiend.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Sunday, July 24, 2011. While we don't eat a lot of sugar over all - I've been trying to figure out ways to do up some of my sweet/sour recipes with less sugar. Right now, it's made as a sour recipe. *grin* And, it maybe that it will remain this way . since seeing the video below has wigged me out about sugar in general (once again). What sugar does to your body:. As did this Taubes' article in New York Times "Is Sugar Toxic". Links to this post. Ummm ye...

Bacon Fiend: April 2011
http://baconfiend.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Picadillo - Cuban (ish) style. I think I've shared that we are in a Meat CSA. Have I said that I am now the CSA coordinator for said CSA? I am the first ever Meadow Haven CSA coordinator. whoohoo! Of course the CSA only started out about six months ago, so it's not like there was a lot of coordinating going on. Indian and so on. Aside from the not so basic burgers that the BF makes for us, as he makes great burgers. Melt butter/...

Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Saturday, November 16, 2013. Chicken in tomatillo sauce. Yes, another crock pot / slow cooker recipe. This is one of those random - throw things together and luck out it was good. I know each time I use different spices, but somehow the BF states it tastes exactly like the last time. I'm just going to say it must be the tomatillos. I like to use whole chickens - mostly because that is what we have in our freezer (yea CSA! Chicken in Tomatillo Sauce.

Bacon Fiend: March 2011
http://baconfiend.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Saturday, March 5, 2011. Log thing, you make my heart sing. I made this desert a while back which the BF loved. I had started with a chocolate fudge recipe but I was craving chocolate and raspberries. So, I ended up creating this yummy desert that turned out really great. So yesterday, the BF requested the chocolate/raspberry desert. He named it "log thing" so he could sing a song in it's honor. which makes me happy. :). 1 package cream cheese (8 oz).

Bacon Fiend: October 2012

Sourcing and cooking real food. What We Do and Why. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Chicken in Catalan Ratatouille. So, as you may or may not know. chicken is my least favorite meat. I don't know why - since it seems to be everyone favorite meat. The default when you do not know what to cook. But for me, chicken takes the most effort. I think because it doesn't have a strong flavor. could be? The book is called: The Food of Spain. Now how can one go wrong with that? And, it has little stories about the food...
