Recipes from the Archives on June 5, 2013

Around this time of year, I start craving sandwiches.  Specifically, BLTs.  I have no idea why.  So color me excited when I saw Food Network’s recipe for BLTs with Blue Cheese-Buffalo Aioli.  It blends two of my favorite things – BLTs and Buffalo Wings.

As a side note, they also had a recipe for BLT Hot Dogs which upon inspection looked really GROSS.

I was very intrigued by Swedish Doughnuts recipe from Taste of Home.  These cinnamon and sugar sprinkled donuts have Mashed Potatoes in them.  Mashed Potatoes?  I don’t know how I feel about it, but if anyone either makes them or has tried them, let me know.

Yes, I am alive.  My business that brings me money has exploded, so between that and the Chicago Blackhawks… well I’ve been swamped.  One thing I know for sure is that it is grillin’ season!  I’m more than excited to pull out the grill, marinade some beef, chicken, pork and seafood, and do some outdoor cooking.  There are some intriguing recipes in this collection: some cute desserts from Betty Crocker and baby food recipes from Parents Magazine.  However, I was most attracted to the Baltimore-Style Crab Cakes from Food and Wine Magazine.  I used to live near Philadelphia and used to drive down to Baltimore only to eat crab.  When I visit the region, I try to eat my weight in crab (and usually succeed).

I hope you enjoy!

I’ve got about 5000 recipes sitting in my InBox from as long ago as May of 2012.  As I clear out my e-mail, I’m posting the ones that I’m interested in trying! 

Some of these use the grill.  If you live in the Midwest, you may have to dig yours out from under, oh let’s say, 10-inches of snow.  Still, I know people who have grilled in snowstorms before, so I’ve decided to send these along anyway.
