March’s Essence Cedar
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 29th, 2010
Growing up back east we would have to “change out the seasonal wardrobe” and pack all those woolen sweaters, skirts and pants in our cedar closets at the end of winter. Hence, this was my first introduction to this hearty wood and oil. Cedar is an interesting oil. Soothing and comforting, cedarwood oil extracts are […]
Banana Pancakes
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 23rd, 2010
The best banana pancake recipe I have found in a long time. Granted, I haven’t been looking because I just really have a hard time switching from my all time favorite French Toast if I am going to switch from something “light” or eggy for breakfast. But I have been enlightened with this one. This […]
Fried Chili Cabbage
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 22nd, 2010
I love Indian food and can’t wait to visit my favorite restaurant in Menlo Park soon. As much as I try to cook as though I am in one of those delicious restaurants, I am still missing the magic. If you cook vegetarian, it seems to come a bit closer but I figure with a […]
Chicken Asparagus Soup
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 21st, 2010
It was one of the nights, or rather beautiful days where I just couldn’t get warm and really missed making my soups. Since the dogs were not well this week I went out and bought them a chicken. Lazy me, I picked it up at Costco so I could get back to work and get […]
Vegetarian Udon Noodles Dish
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 16th, 2010
While perusing my cabinets and finding more of those lovely and delicious udon noodles, found a favorite recipe of mine (yes on www.tastespotting.com) and threw this quick and easy dish together. I didn’t have the chili oil, but have some wonderful sesame oil with this exquisite chili powder we picked up at the Asian market […]
Sesame Bread
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 12th, 2010
The last time I baked bread like this one was awhile ago. This bread looked so beautiful on www.tastespotting.com that I had to try it. (She even wrapped it in a bow for her photo!! Boy, am I falling down on the job!) There is something so wonderfully natural and therapeutic about kneading bread. Honestly, […]
Udon Noodles with Peanut and Ginger
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 11th, 2010
Why are these noodles so saintly? Must be because the Japanese just have some of their food so elegantly served that you can’t go wrong. The little ribbons around each portion are even decorative. This Japanese wheat noodle recipe on a scale of 1 to 10 is about a 7. Yes, wish I could rate […]
Rice Paper Rolls
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 8th, 2010
My boyfriend was a professional chef and always bringing home ingredients I have never purchased before. One of the easiest and truly delightful items were the beautiful shrimp and veggie rice paper rolls he made. Honestly, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is almost more difficult. So I encourage many of you if you have […]
Beer Bread
Posted by Chanteuse Designs on March 4th, 2010
Can I just tell you that whenever I see easy, breezy bread I get a little nervous? Rightfully so, as yeast and certain ingredients do need special time to mature. DON’T we all to become better humanoids or in the case for bread, mouth watering quick and easy shouldn’t be in the same sentence. All fun […]
