]]> One of the world’s great unknown gastronomic paradises is the southwest European country of Spain. While it doesn’t have the international profile of other countries like Italy or Japan, the number of must-sample dishes that come from Spain is enormous.

Spaniards like dessert and have a huge sweet tooth, meaning that you will find plenty of desserts that you have to try either at Spanish restaurants or in the country itself. Here are three that you cannot miss.

Arroz con Leche

This rice-based dessert combines a sweet, milky sauce that is topped with cinnamon and served cold as a classic option for those with a sweet tooth. This dessert has also become popular in other countries that were once part of the Spanish Empire.

Chocolate con Churros

Churros are good, but have you ever tried them dipped in hot chocolate sauce? That is exactly what many Spaniards, especially those who live in Madrid, choose as a tasty, sweet breakfast or afternoon snack.

Turrón

Spaniards especially love indulging in sweet treats at Christmas Time, and turrón is the most beloved of their sweets and snacks. Made traditionally with almond and honey as its main ingredients, you can also find other varieties like chocolate turrón.

]]> Eggs are something that you are bound to find in most kitchens. Many times, we end up buying cartons of eggs at the grocery store and then completely forget that we have them. By the time they’re about to expire, it’s too late to do anything about it! But instead of overlooking eggs, if you realize that you have some in your kitchen that need to be used, here are three delicious recipes for you to try.

Spanish Omelette

You might know about regular omelettes, a tasty egg-centric classic, but have you ever tried a Spanish omelette before? This recipe takes an egg and potato base and combines them with onions and whatever ingredients you want. Some ideas include chorizo, red peppers, and cheese!

Quiche

An egg tart known as a quiche is a great option to use up some extra eggs if you have them in your kitchen. Use a pie crust or make one on your own and then bake eggs along with vegetables, meat, or fish in order to make this tasty French favorite.

French Toast

Not everything made with eggs has to be savory, and french toast is a great example of a recipe that uses eggs to make a sweet end product. This recipe involves dipping pieces of bread in a sweet egg batter that contains sugar and cinnamon and frying them in oil or butter. Yum!

]]> Have you ever tried making a quiche before? We’re huge fans of this savory recipe which combines milk, eggs, and other ingredients to make a dish that is great for both breakfast and brunch occasions. Pulling off the perfect quiche can take some practice and some know-how, and these tips will help you ensure that yours turns out perfect.

Get the Milk to Egg Ratio Right

Arguably the most important thing that you must do right in order to ensure a great quiche is finding the right ratio of milk to eggs. For large eggs, you will want to use a half cup of milk per egg. This makes for a quiche with just the right level of moisture and thickness.

Don’t Overbake

One thing that is sure to ruin any good quiche, no matter how perfect you are when choosing and mixing ingredients, is overbaking. Blind bake the crust first in order to make it finish cooking at the same time as the egg mixture, and then bake both ingredients at 350 F for 30-40 minutes.

Perfect the Fillings

Milk and eggs are the base of any quiche, but you’ll find that using only these two ingredients will result in a pretty boring end product. Try implementing meat and/or veggies in order to spice up your quiche and make it more filling and delicious.

]]> Have you ever wondered what would work as the perfect topping for ice cream, waffles, yogurt, and so much more? One of our favorite picks is a sauce with a base of cooked berries, thanks to the amazing combination of sweet and tangy that it brings to the table. So if you’re thinking about branching out and trying to make your own version of this tasty sauce at home, here’s how you can do it!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup blackberries
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons water

Instructions

The first thing you’ll want to do is add all of the ingredients of your sauce to a medium saucepan on your stove. Once they’re all in and mixed together thoroughly, turn up the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. As the mixture is warming, constantly mix with a wooden spoon in order to ensure that things do not stick or burn to the saucepan.

Once the mix is simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to cook until it has reached a mildly runny but not completely liquid texture. Allow to cool and serve fresh on whatever food you would like! If you want to save this sauce or have some leftover, you can put it in a seal-tight jar and store refrigerated for up to a week. Enjoy!

Not quite as well-known as peanut butter, this spread can be used in a similar way and does offer a number of unique health benefits. Here are some that you are sure to appreciate!

Healthy Fats

Almond butter is a great source of healthy, unsaturated fats that are a key component in achieving heart health. Of the 8 grams of fat you’ll find in a tablespoon of almond butter, more than 7 of them are unsaturated, which will help you take control of your heart health.

Calcium

Surprisingly enough, almonds are a nut that is an unexpected source of calcium. You’ll get 10% of your recommended daily value of this bone-strengthening mineral with just two tablespoons of almond butter, easily plopped on a sandwich or oatmeal.

Vitamin E

The antioxidant Vitamin E is great for cell health and for eliminating toxic free radicals from your system. In just two tablespoons of almond butter, you will find nearly 30% of your recommended daily intake of this important health ally.

]]> One of the most authentically American classes of food is the humble barbecue. The tradition of slow-cooking meats and flavoring them with sauces is one that has been a constant in the United States ever since colonial days and continues to be so now.

The main attraction of American BBQs are always the meats, but did you know that there are also a ton of traditional side dishes which are served alongside them? Here are some of the favorites.

Hush Puppies

Cornmeal is combined with flour, eggs, salt, milk, water and seasonings and fried into delicious little balls in this classic Southern barbecue side dish. These are popular when flavored with onion and garlic, and many people enjoy dipping them into barbecue sauce.

Collared Greens

Collared greens are another common barbecue side dish that involves a sort of vegetable side dish made with a common American kale-like green. It’s stewed in chicken broth and also contains bacon and onions. Yum.

Cornbread

Corn reigns supreme once again as cornbread figures into the mix as a popular BBQ side dish. A sort of corn-meal-based bread that is slightly sweet and cut into small squares to serve, you’ll find this on American BBQ dishes all around the country topped with a dab of butter.

The food in the 1970s was rather odd as well, as these three wacky food trends that seemed perfectly normal back in the day demonstrate.

Watergate Salads

This bizarre sweet dish, whose name will undoubtedly evoke the 1970s for other reasons, contains pistachio pudding, canned pineapple, whipped cream, crushed pecans, and marshmallows. Chilled and served in a glass bowl, this was made popular at potlucks and social gatherings.

Savory Jell-O

The mid-20th century had an obsession with gelatin, and this was especially evident in the 1970s with the rampant popularity of savory recipes which included Jell-O. From gelatin-encased spaghetti to vegetables, no one is quite sure to this day why these dishes were so popular.

Hamburger Helper

The 1970s saw a lot of advancement towards “quick” and “easy” recipes, and Hamburger Helper was a brand that gained lots of popularity and notoriety. These boxes, which included seasonings to convert ground meat into different flavored dishes, were hugely popular in suburban households.

]]> When you look to prepare a recipe, what’s the first resource that you turn to? These days, there are plenty of ways to find cooking information all over the place, from the internet to television shows to books. Unfortunately, this has taken a lot of the glory and importance away from a tool that has long served as the most important way to pass down instructions for making food from generation to generation: the family cookbook.

A Time Old Tradition

Back in the day, recipes were hand-passed down from grandmothers to grandchildren and from aunts to nieces and nephews. Whether that was orally or written, what ended up happening was that these unique, original ways for preparing food often ended up in a cookbook that is often carefully conserved by families.

If you are lucky enough to find one of these cookbooks, you should take the time to discover what these decades-old recipes contain and what your ancestors and forefathers consumed. It might require a leap of faith, but there are certainly things worth looking at and learning from in these books. Do you have a family cookbook? If so, have you given its top recipes a try?

]]> When you look to prepare a recipe, what’s the first resource that you turn to? These days, there are plenty of ways to find cooking information all over the place, from the internet to television shows to books. Unfortunately, this has taken a lot of the glory and importance away from a tool that has long served as the most important way to pass down instructions for making food from generation to generation: the family cookbook.

Whether that was orally or written, what ended up happening was that these unique, original ways for preparing food often ended up in a cookbook that is often carefully conserved by families.

If you are lucky enough to find one of these cookbooks, you should take the time to discover what these decades-old recipes contain and what your ancestors and forefathers consumed. It might require a leap of faith, but there are certainly things worth looking at and learning from in these books. Do you have a family cookbook? If so, have you given its top recipes a try?
