Apples and Butter

http://applesandbutter.blogspot.com

I love everything about food. Cooking, eating, shopping for it, growing it and researching new recipes and ideas. I am currently in search of that happy medium. Trying to cook healthy some of the time, while continuing to make those rich foods that satisfy like nothing else. I started Apples and Butter to chronicle my cooking exploits while I try to up the healthy (an apple a day keeps the doctor away) and tone down the butter, all while still indulging my affinity for rich food.

    My kitchen is very familiar with unitaskers - Alton Brown’s name for kitchen appliances that serve only one function. In Alton’s world they are reviled, but in mine they are an all-too-common occurrence. That is why, when I come across a unitaske...

    The first soup of fall is a highly anticipated event at my house - at least by me. I’m not certain that anyone else even notices that rich, warm soups have been missing from the menu for months.For Southern California residents like myself, it take...

    I have southern roots. My feet are firmly planted in Los Angeles and have been for the majority of my 29 years, but my roots are most definitely southern. My mother was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi and my father in Memphis, Tennessee. My mother eve...

  • Making Cheese Even Better

    Posted on Tuesday September 29th, 2009 at 18:34 in salad, cheese, vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers

    I’m a sucker for a pretty picture. Especially if that picture is of food and in this particular case if that picture is of oil-dressed tomatoes piled high on top of slices of fried cheese. I have a few cookbooks that I adore that have absolutely no...
