http://roseandvioletkitchencreations.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Rose and Violet Creations. A place to show off! Friday, January 14, 2011. Macaroni and Cheese for Dinner. So today I have taken the easy way out and made my version of mac and cheese for the kids dinner. This does mean making the pasta as well but pasta isn't that hard to make, especially if you have a helper in the kitchen like I do. 100 g 'OO' Flour. Mix/knead together to make a dough then use pasta machine or roll out to make your pasta. Simple really it was more than 1/2 the price here in Australia!

Ugly Fruit: 12 for me, none for you!
http://uglifruit.blogspot.com/2011/04/holiday-yum.html
12 for me, none for you! And so it begins. The holiday that's full of eggs, matzo, and more eggs. Yes, folks, it's Passover time again. The first seder was last night and full of fantastic traditional foods - the brisket, the fried matzo, the charoset, etc. I had hoped to try out a new recipe involving berries, chocolate sponge cake and marscapone (yum! But a few hours before I re-read the recipe and noticed it said make 24 hrs in advance (oops! This recipe from food&wine.com. 3 cups confectioners' sugar.

Ice cream in the snow? Yes, please. This past week was eggnog ice cream at Goldie's in Prairie City, Iowa. You can see my previous post about Goldie's here. The eggnog was phenomenal. The fuzzi-'rents and I stopped there last week on they way to pick up Lucky from doggy daycare in Runnells. It was so good I finished the whole thing (hence the less than gorgeous photo of the above ice cream phone). It was just as good. There's still most of it left.but not for long. Mwhahahaha!

http://uglifruit.blogspot.com/2010/07/return-of-icm.html
Return of the ICM! It's summer. In Iowa. That means HOT! It also means a search for the best locally produced ice cream. It is still the ICM's goal to make it to Le Mars, Iowa and eat.I mean check out the Ice Cream Museum. For realsies. But for now we'll have to be satisfied with tastings a little closer to home. They raise cows and wallabies, is Iowa not trippy? In Waterloo. Heyn's and Whitey's in Iowa City. And Wilton Candy Kitchen (one hundred and fifty years.and counting! Oh man, I wish we had! Prair...

Ugly Fruit: Rockin' the Soups
http://uglifruit.blogspot.com/2010/12/rockin-soups.html
This has been an awesome week for soup. I have been ON! And no clue why ;) The first one was the best batch of tortilla soup I've made to date. Recipe to come. The second was a Zesty Vegetarian Tomato Soup, served with a nice chicken caeser salad. While in Switzerland. Swooon. And Amy's organic chunky tomato bisque when I returned home to the US. I've tried a few attempts at tomato soup deliciousness and have been not so impressed. But the recipe I hacked this week was ALL THAT AND A BOWL OF SOUP! Sweat ...

Larr; Recipe for Happiness. April 26th, 2007 · 16 Comments. My first task was to change into chef whites that were provided to me and as I began to change in the locker room I felt grateful that Id already had a few culinary classes under my belt. While getting changed sounds basic enough there is actually a particular. A HUGE tub of chicken.
