  • Slashfood Ate (8): The Friday family-pak

    Filed under:

    a variety of vinegar bottles
    I'm sitting at my desk at work, waiting for the final minutes of Friday to tick away, popping bright orange cherry tomatoes like they're cherries (they're nearly as sweet) and rounding up some of my favorite food related tidbits from the last week or so. Here's what I've got...
    1. CNET discusses a Japanese refrigerator that sprays out regular doses of Vitamin C to keep fruits and vegetables fresh.
    2. Lelo in Nopo makes infused vinegars and packs them away in syrup bottles that her local coffee shop was tossing. Crafty, clever and frugal!
    3. Cookthink has me craving sausage and escarole soup.
    4. Steak for...


    5. Slashfood Ate (8): Favorite dessert flavors

      For most of us, the shift from August to September means it's back to school time. For restaurants, it's time to make the seasonal changes to the menu. It's a little less complicated with the bread situation, but the pastry cooks and our pastry chef have been talking about the new fall dessert items for a couple weeks now. They've been thinking, discussing, going back and forth, and hammering out details. It can be hard to come up with new menu items with all of...


    6. Slashfood Ate (8): Easy inexpensive meals for college students

      College food

      Most college students who haven't returned to campus yet will be coming back today. To all those college students - Why not start off this school year by expanding your food options that may seem constricted if you're living in a dorm with no kitchen or simply living on a tight budget? I remember when I lived in a college dorm, and it seemed like I was doomed to eat peanut butter and jelly and a series of microwavable meals, mainly mac n' cheese, for the rest of my academic existence.

      Luckily, there are several alternatives to ordering in pizza. If you...


    7. Slashfood Ate (8): Top eight food allergens listed on packaging

      Filed under: , , , , , ,

      Image focusing entirely on some peanuts and walnuts.
      I've always been thankful that I'm not allergic to anything. I breathe a sigh of relief every time I get to say "not that I know of" when the doctor asks if I'm allergic to anything. At the same time, I've always felt really bad for people who do suffer from food allergies. Lactose intolerance? You poor thing! What? You can't eat wheat/bread? I just don't think I could make it.

      I realize that if you are one of the people who...


    8. Slashfood Ate (8): Fruits and veggies to anticipate this fall

      Filed under: , , ,

      Fall harvestThe end of the summer can be distressing and sad. There are those of us who go back to school, and others who must say farewell to Summer-Fridays. There'll be fewer berries, nectarines, peaches, and plums. However, while we feel a nostalgia for summer produce, we can look forward to the colorful and delicious autumn harvest.

      Below are 8 fruits and vegetables to anticipate this fall:
      1. Figs - All year, we can enjoy dried figs. But, from now until early fall, markets sell the fresh tender succulent inverted flowers. The juiciness of these fresh figs tastes remarkable. And,...


      2. Slashfood Ate (8): The Friday blue plate special

        Filed under:

        a variety platter of pastries
        It's the fourth Friday of August and my office is dead quiet. Half the staff is out on vacation and the other half is surfing the internet, trying to pass the minutes until it's time to go home. Here are some of the things I've been reading to make the moments fly by until the end of the day...
        1. Could organic booze be the secret to avoiding a hangover?
        2. Joy the Baker and What Geeks Eat both whip up homemade doughnuts.
        3. David Lebovitz asks, "Are you a melon washer?" (I'm not).
        4. Speaking of melons, Culinate waxes poetic about the noble muskmelon....


        5. Slashfood Ate (8): Easy summer dinners

          Filed under: ,

          An assortment of summer squash, onions, peppers, eggplants, and mushrooms laid out neatly on a wooden surface.There's been a lot of talk about summer cooking on the interwebs recently. It's the end of the season and the available produce is ridiculously abundant. However, who wants to spend too much time in a hot kitchen when the outdoor mercury is also near to bursting out of the top of the thermostat?

          If you're one of the many people who prefer easier cooking in the summer, here's a round up of recipes for you.

          1. Try some crispy tilapia with pico de gallo sauce.
          2....


        6. Slashfood Ate (8): Varieties of captivating tomatoes to discover

          Filed under: , , , ,

          Tomatos on the vineThis time of the year, I love going to the farmer's markets to try the many succulent and colorful tomatoes. Depending on the season, we can enjoy these fruity delectables into mid-fall. Like so many fruits and vegetables, there are plenty of varieties of tomatoes to try. Below are 8 with some history.
          1. Heirloom - Within this category there are approximately 400 different varieties. Aesthetically, they look striking with their unusual coloring and size. I would not use them to cook with. They're preferable eaten on their own with fresh basil, mozzarella, and...

            A yellow, home made frozen pop from a star shaped mold.Summer time is hot. Where I live, it's in the upper 90s every day. It makes me want to tear into a frozen treat at any moment. If summer time makes you crave anything frozen, maybe some of these will get your mouth to watering and your feet headed toward the freezer.

            1. Here's a whole half dozen ideas from LifeHacker.
            2. These FrostBites and FrostTeas look mighty good.
            3. The butterscotch banana pops from Parenthood.com may be a variation on a theme, but pretty tasty-looking.

          3. Slashfood Ate (8): Fruits and vegetables that can hydrate your body

            Filed under: , , , ,

            Fruit and vegetable standBy August, I usually find myself exhausted by the constant oppressive summer heat. The sweltering heat drains all the energy out of my body and leaves me walking to work sluggishly. To combat this end-of-summer lethargy, I hydrate myself throughout the day by drinking water.

            Drinking water is not the only way you can refuel your body during the summer. Many fruits and vegetables can help you meet 20 percent of your daily fluid needs. Also, doctors have proven that a diet rich in H20-loaded foods can prevent dehydration and...
