any ideas on what to substitute for nuts in recipes where nuts are an accent, like honey almond chicken? my husband hates nuts, but sometimes having that crunchy texture makes the dish more interesting. i've tried those crunch chinese noodles. any other ideas? thanks.
I really want to figure out how to make the grilled cheese with truffles. They had it on Gossip Girl and she oohed and ahhed. Do you think that would work as well as they claim?
I made some glogg. It called for Maidera. I asked the wine shop if there was anything that could be substituted and they said that Maidera is best. Is that true?
I learned about hot toddys from a book I have on massage. Each has a theme. The Sweet Dreams Massage focues on the hand. And includes a sweet dreams potion (the hot toddy) which is says is hot milk with almond extract, honey and cinnamon sprinkle.
I love grilled corn on the cob. I just brush it lightly with oil and stick it straight on the grill. Bknox has the right idea. Flavored butter is awesome. My favorite for corn is lime. It gives it a southwestern flavor.
