"So, how much liquid do I need to add to the dough?" "As much as it will take."

Olive Oil Tasting In Barcelona, Grandma’s Onion Rolls, and a Giveaway!

MomGrind — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 12:00:40 +0000

We stared at the row of olive oil bottles, a little perplexed. We were sitting at one of the best gourmet restaurants in the world, Comerc 24 in Barcelona. We knew it was going to be an amazing experience - and it was, so much so that we returned the next day for lunch. But olive oil tasting? We knew about wine tasting, of course, but we never tried olive oil tasting.

You Would Never Guess it From This Recipe, But I’ve Been Eating Healthier

MomGrind — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 12:00:54 +0000

Seriously. A former big fan of "Just eat whatever you want and keep portions in check," I've recently started paying more attention to what I eat. You know the drill - lots of veggies and fruit, whole grains, minimizing white flour and sugar.

Nuts and Fruit Quick Bread – Plus a Giveaway

MomGrind — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:00:54 +0000

A chewy, rich bread, with a wonderful crunch from the nut mix and an interesting sweet-salty flavor that can go either way - I had it with a little butter and it was heavenly, but I can imagine having it with jam or honey, or - alternatively - with some brie or with blue cheese. I imagine you could add less salt if you wanted a decidedly sweeter bread - maybe use a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon.

Stay Away From Fast Food Chicken Nuggets! Try Schnitzel Instead

MomGrind — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 12:00:36 +0000

So yes, I like fried foods. I love the crispy texture and unique taste that frying gives to foods and as I stated here before, as long as I keep portions in check and eat plenty of fruit and veggies, I don't really feel that I should be apologizing for the many fried or otherwise unhealthy recipes this blog contains. :)

Rich, Moist Chocolate Cupcakes (So Good, They Don’t Need Frosting!)

MomGrind — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:00:05 +0000

I love chocolate, but baked goods containing chocolate are often disappointing. The addition of flour, milk and eggs often means that the decadent richness of chocolate is gone, and the chocolate turns into just another flavoring. I feel that many "chocolate cakes" need to be named "chocolate flavored cakes!" The intensity of the chocolate experience is just too low.

Jelly Doughnuts Recipe for Hanukkah

MomGrind — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 12:00:30 +0000

Sufganiyot are delicate, airy little rounds of sweet dough, deep fried, filled with jelly and dusted with powdered sugar. They are traditionally served in Hanukkah because they're fried in oil, and Hanukkah is a celebration of the "Miracle of the Oil."
