As we move into a theme devoted to food one would think Foodie Fridays might get more complex around here, but I actually want to take it the other way. Let’s make things simpler. I…
Foodie Friday
Foodie Friday: Blended Bellinis
I recently went to Vancouver, B.C. and was told multiple times that I had to try a Bellini. So for the sake of Foodie Friday research, I obliged. : ) Quite different from its Italian…
Foodie Friday: Oh, Chocolate
In the month of chocolate I could not help but trying my hand at chocolate truffles. I learned two cool things about these treats. First, I did not realize that truffles were made to look…
Foodie Friday: Cheesy Appetizers
I know it is actually Saturday morning that I am posting about Foodie Friday, but I’m hoping for a little grace being as I have had laryngitis all week. I just got my voice back…
Foodie Friday: Chobani Yogurt
Have you ever been obsessed with a food? Thought about it when it’s not around? Treated yourself to it three times in one day? Well, here I am: obsessed. I’m not sure there is another…
Foodie Friday: Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake
Since this season is all about celebrations I decided I just HAD to go to a Chocolate Festival last weekend. I know, I do such difficult things for this blog! I was actually disappointed in…
Foodie Friday: Shrimp, Bean and Avocado Salad
Dale and I are knee-deep in our season of celebrations. You would think December would be the main event, but Christmas (and Jess’ birthday!) simply signal the start of a marathon of good times. After…
Foodie Friday: Mediterranean Greek Vegetarian Lasagna
Today is about comfort food with a twist. The love of homemade lasagna plus all kinds of things you love about greek food. The Culinary Review provides this easy, but a little time consuming (you have to…
Foodie Friday: Walnut-Breadcrumb Pasta with a Soft Egg
For today’s Foodie Friday, I would like to share a real “keeper” recipe we just tried out in our house. Fresh from Cooking Light’s January 2011 edition, “Walnut-Breadcrumb Pasta with a Soft Egg” is a…
Foodie Friday: New York Times Coffee Cake
Today for Foodie Friday I am excited to share one of my all time favorite food traditions. New York Times Coffee Cake. In my family we eat this every year on the morning of Christmas…
Foodie Friday: Gibassier
Happy Christmas Eve! Today, we are taking a little holiday trip to Provence in baking the Gibassier. I first tried this fluffy pastry bread at the Pearl Bakery and quickly became infatuated with it. Anise,…
Foodie Friday: Pizza
Today’s Foodie Friday happens to also be my birthday. It therefore seems fitting that we focus on the classic birthday party food, pizza. I started out with Cornmeal Pizza Crust from Martha Stewart. This crust…
Foodie Friday: Makin’ Marshmallows
For this week’s Foodie Friday, we are running away from soup. Far away. And skipping right into the sweet and fluffy land of homemade marshmallows! Making marshmallows was something that I never even considered before…
Foodie Friday: French Lentil Soup and Apple Custard Pie
Clearly Linz and I love soup. This is the third week in a row with a soup centered post. I think Lindsey and I are just very into seasonal cooking and soup falls right into…
Foodie Friday: Roasted Vegetable Cassoulet
We’re on a soup kick here at Sweet Athena, with Jess’ Barley Soup last week, and now a hearty Roasted Vegetable Cassoulet. Perfect for staying warm while it’s cold outside, this dish takes time but…
Foodie Friday: Barley Soup
This week’s Foodie Friday is all about keeping it simple and easy. I had a friend and blog lover come to visit me last weekend and I decided to have her show me one of…
Foodie Friday: Light(er) “Popeye” Pancakes
Breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, breakfast for dinner. I’m in favor of breakfast no matter what the hour! Today, I want to share a family favorite that I used to call “Popeye Pancakes,” but…
Foodie Friday: Strawberry Shortcake Cake
So today I thought I would be super cute and clever and do a Halloween themed Foodie Friday. In my world that meant baking a Strawberry Shortcake Cake. How is that close to being Halloween…
Foodie Friday: Sushi
Sushi, at the very least, is a weekly habit for me. Since the university brought in a sushi vendor, my habit has been healthily supported. It’s fresh, (usually) healthy, and bit-sized. What more could you…
Foodie Friday: Makin’ Whoopie (Pies)
With trends I often find that I can easily be out of the loop, until I realize said trend is everywhere I turn and ready to smack me in the face. This late blossom often…
