Basil Lemon Tea (Juice For Kidney Stones)
When my husband was in severe pain with Kidney Stones we whipped up this delicious and helpful Basil Juice recipe. Very refreshing and so easy to make!
Maui Daydreamin'
Aloha everybody and dig this Basil enriched cocktail from the island of Maui. I used all local kind ingredients for this libation including Maui Ocean vodka, fresh basil from Evonuk Farm in Kula and beautiful strawberries from Kula Country Farm. Welcome to Maui Whole Foods -Hana Hou !
Sunny Side Up with Basil
I grew up in Greece. Basil is everywhere! My grandmother would make this for me at least a few times a week. Not only did we have fresh basil we had fresh eggs from our chickens! I think of my childhood and my grandmother every time I eat eggs with basil. Make sure you have a slice of bread to mop up the yummy olive oil!
Sweet Basil Honey Tea
This is an easy, 4-ingredients (plus water), Sweet Basil Honey Tea recipe. You can drink it hot or cold, for breakfast or for any other time of day. Enjoy!
Smashed Chocolate Cherry Panini
My Smashed Chocolate Covered Cherry dessert panini combines the luscious flavor of fresh juicy cherries with creamy spreadable chocolate. Sometimes a simple, classic flavor combination can create a new recipe worth sharing, repeating and making your own. I chose to make my panini with cherries and chocolate. I used a dark chocolate peanut butter spread . But you can use your fave spreadable chocolate brand.
Lime-cucumber liquado
Marlene offered to bring this to our Board of Directors meeting. It turned out to be more delicious than anyone ever imagined. Luckily there was a little bit left that I had with vodka that evening!
Strawberry Cucumber Breakfast Smoothie
A "kitchen sink" sort of recipe. It's strawberry season. I don't like the texture of cucmbers, but I do love the flavor. This solves that problem.
Chamomile Meditation Tea
The beauty of growing your own chamomile is you can pick just the flowers which look beautiful floating in the teapot or cup of tea. I personally like the German over the Roman chamomile. The Roman just seems to fruity to me. The meditation part of this recipe comes from spending a couple of hours outside carefully picking each of these flowers. Seems tedious but then you find yourself adrift in thought, smelling the beautiful scent of chamomile, and the soothing buzz of insects cruising from bud to bud. I eventually wind up with about a gallon container full of flowers. I will put the flowers on a large screen to dry and I won't drink any of this tea till late fall or early winter. But rest assured when I do it will instantly take me back to the warm early summer afternoon of flower picking. I really like it when I can find a little bit of summer in winter.
Strawberry Rose Coulis...with 3 suggestions.
Champagne Coulis recipe with a wee bit of rose water tastes like love to me, sweet, bright with an sly sensuous perfume wafting hopefully in the background.
Tequila por Mi Amante (Strawberry Infused Tequila)
More of a technique than a recipe, this tequila-infused strawberry delight requires two ingredients: tequila and strawberries. Make tequila por mi amante.
Fleur de Lys
Sorta like a Mimosa, but with a little Pernod and Cointreau. I know it sounds weird, but trust me, it's delicious.
Watermelonade
My sister and some friends recently threw me a lovely bridal shower. The food, provided by Go Catering, was delicious. Happy guests devoured crudités, curried chicken salad, mini grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon, sausage rolls, and homemade currant and ginger scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. To drink, there was a crisp rosé and a refreshing concoction of fresh watermelon, lemon, sugar and water known as "watermelonade." Apparently, it's one of the caterer's specialties, and everyone raved about the juicy, pink drink. This past weekend, I couldn't resist attempting it myself.
Simple French Toast
I realize this is the most basic recipe in the world. One of the first things that my sister and learned how to cook by watching our mom. I remember standing in the kitchen with her on Saturday mornings, beating the eggs and milk in a shallow metal pie plate. We always used whatever bread was in the house, and we always topped it with powdered sugar. (And sometimes syrup too!) Over the years, I have tried different variations (adding cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla to the egg mixture) but I come back to this one and realize for me, it is all about the cooking technique rather than the ingredients. This yields french toast that is more bready than custardy, as is my preference. It serves one because believe it or not, my husband doesn't like french toast, custardy or not.
Bell-less, Whistle-less, Damn Good French Toast
There are things in life that just ought to be simple, and to my taste buds, French toast is one of them. My recipe has only three ingredients.

Tarty Rhubarb-Thyme Compote
My mother often made a rhubarb sauce in the spring to have on hand as a treat, usually with vanilla ice cream. Rhubarb is often paired with strawberries to temper its tartness, but as I get older, I appreciate a bit of tartiness in a woman (or a man, for that matter), and certainly in my compote. Although thyme is usually served in savory dishes, with rhubarb it adds an earthiness and depth of flavor that takes this beyond a typical sweet treat. In this super simple recipe, the thyme flavor is subtle because I still want the rhubarb to be the star of the show, but you could play with it to suit your taste. I love this compote best for breakfast spooned on toast, over a scone, on pancakes, or swirled into yogurt. But Mom was on to something pairing it with vanilla ice cream. - Margy@hidethecheese
Ginger Pear Sorbet Spritzer with fennel pollen and champagne
I just bought myself an ice cream maker! On the same day my good friend (and fellow food 52 cook), Jennifer Ann sent me a tin of fennel pollen. This is my first time using this ingredient. It is indeed heavenly, especially with the ginger and champagne... Truly a "Spring Refresher".
Fried Mush
I realize that the name does not sound promising, however ... when we were kids my Mom and my Stepdad had a cool old VW camper van, you know the kind with the mini fridge and the fold down table, and a bunk area in the back? They would pack the van and we would go camping, first in Baja and around California, then later in New Mexico and Colorado ... Mom always packed her iron skillet and everything needed for fried mush, which is somehow better eaten outdoors by a morning campfire but still delicious in my kitchen just now ... Mom also instructed me not to go messing with the recipe as I am wont to do, but rather to cook it as it is meant to be cooked. My Mom is an artist ... I didn't inherit her talent for creating visual art but I do think that my inherited creativity comes out in the kitchen. For more on Mom's art check out : www.marysegal.com - aargersi
Cardamom Chai
As a purebred teas drinker, I was skeptical about Cardamom Chai and its maelstrom of spices and blast of sugar. I tried this recipe and it became a favorite.
Poppa Hy's Matzoh Brei
My Poppa Hy was a fabulous dancer, a dress designer, a card shark, a wonderful grandfather, and he made hands down the greatest matzoh brei ever. Saturday morning breakfast was the highlight of every weekend visit. He would come home from temple, change his clothes make coffee in their old fashioned percolator and slowly and methodically , start making matzoh brei. We would sit at the table waiting for each pancake to arrive, cut into 8 perfect slices. I like 3/4 of mine with salt, pepper and cottage cheese, and the last with wedge with maple syrup, my brother goes for maple syrup and blueberries. Poppa Hy had a magic pan which is currently in my cousins possession, though that is in negotiations.
Rose-scented Mexican Hot Chocolate
Since my friend brought me back a Molinillo and some Abuelita (Mexican Chocolate), I've been looking for an excuse to make some hot chocolate. The addition of dried Persian rose petals gives it a subtle fragrance and a slightly eastern flavour.
Milk and Honey
If I’m trying to relax, a mug of warm milk always seems to do the trick. So does liquor, but this honey and milk recipe is a more virtuous non-alcoholic option.
Hot Chocolate
I've been wanting to make hot chocolate with real chocolate for years. Today I finally did. I'm giving you the recipe for one snow-bound girl, but you can double it for two people and hopefully that other person will be someone who is cozy to hang out with on a snowy day.
Fried Cornmeal Mush
Try to get past the name of this recipe. It really is quite tasty and the perfect time to enjoy the best maple syrup you can find...I like Grade A Dark Amber. I serve this for breakfast with applewood smoked bacon and sliced melon. When I was growing up in Pennsylvania, my father insisted on a dreadful side dish called "scrapple", best forgotten!
