Would You Join a Lunch Club?

Would You Join a Lunch Club?

I'm always talking about starting a Lunch Club â€" note to Sugar HQ: I'll do it someday, honest â€" where I organize lunch outings to various tasty eateries. However, I've never thought of starting a Lunch Club where people take turns making food for each other.

I recently discovered a Cooking Light article spotlighting the folks at Room and Board. Apparently they have a Healthy Lunch Club where folks cook for one another. ...

Come Party With Me Engagement Party ” The Look

Come Party With Me Engagement Party ” The Look

My gal pal Elena has already chosen burnt orange and fuchsia with wood or bamboo accents to be the colors of her wedding. These colors were in the invite to her engagement party, so naturally I will include the colors in the decor of the soirée. Start by covering the tables with a white tablecloth. This will act as a background and make the colors pop. Cover the table with a wooden runner. Serve the food in rattan serving ...

Not Your Regular Nachos Classic Nachos

Not Your Regular Nachos Classic Nachos

I know I promised these wouldn't be boring, regular nachos, but before things get too crazy, I decided to make my version of classic nachos. According to the food dictionary on Epicurious, a nacho is a chip topped with melted cheddar cheese and chopped chilis. These nachos are topped with cheese, chilis, and refried beans.

To give the nachos a more gourmet feel, I fried tortillas to make fresh chips. These were incredibly tasty and easy to make. ...

Out of Hell Dominic the Dad Dishes

On the premiere episode of Hell's Kitchen, Dominic, the stay-at-home dad from Southern Carolina, was sent home. I had the chance to speak with him over the phone yesterday and I learned that he does indeed know how to cook scallops and was completely fooled by Gordon's disguise.

Although it might not seem like it from the first episode â€" which was full of stumbles, spills, and kitchen mishaps â€" according to Dominic, ALL of the contestants ...

Happy Hour Michlits Frizzante 2006 Rose Burgenland

If you are looking for an interesting new wine to try, I highly recommend this sparkling Austrian Pinot Noir. I tasted it at a recent party for CandyBar â€" San Francisco's new dessert-only restaurant â€" and instantly fell in love with the pink champagne. Fizzy, light, and refreshing, this wine paired perfectly with savory appetizers and small sweets. Flavors of citrus mingle with a mineral undertone making it a complex, yet easily drinkable bubbly.

‘Wich of the Week Chicken Caesar Wraps

‘Wich of the Week Chicken Caesar Wraps

Possibly the only thing easier to make than a sandwich is a salad. So when I wanted an easy sandwich to make en masse for a recent party, I decided to toss up a Caesar salad and wrap up the results in Middle Eastern lavash bread. I figured that pretty much everyone loves Caesar salad, and the wrap-style 'wich made for fun finger food.

Since the sandwiches would be sitting out on a tray, I didn't want to make a ...
