Fall is in the air and everyone is dressed in their team colors (any other fellow Hawkeyes out there?)- that can only mean one thing… Tailgate! No, don’t fight the crowds down at Paul Brown- it’s the perfect time to hold a pigskin party in your own house! What’s that?- you don’t have any ideas on what to make- no problem! Our popular What’s Cookin’? class is back and full of ideas. With a menu of homemade pretzels, hoagies, salad (yes, we threw in something green) and dessert. Everything is covered! And best of all- it is healthy, easy and inexpensive!
Are you still a little hesitant to try a cooking class? Jay and I both know our way around a kitchen and have a lot of fun teaching the classes. We try out new products, wrangle over the recipes, and fist fights are quite common…well, that is just in our practice sessions. Jay does everything by the book, while I cook off-the-cuff- pretty entertaining combination and the result is some really good food. Plus you will learn about my love of infomercials (shamWOW anyone?) and Jay’s crush on Martha Stewart. So throw some measuring cups to the wind and give us a try! Sign-ups are going on now- stop by the front desk or call 346-3910.
Do you have some late-season tomatoes and not quite sure what to do with them? Try my favorite fresh salsa recipe:
Salsa Fresca
Ingredients:
2 medium size ripe tomatoes
ΒΌ medium size onion
4 sprigs cilantro
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp garlic salt
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 jalapeno (1/3 for mild, 2/3 for medium, all for hot and spicy)
Chop tomatoes, onion, cilantro and garlic, place in a bowl. Add chopped jalapeno if desired. Sprinkle garlic salt and lemon juice. Toss and serve with tortilla chips. Store in refrigerator in airtight container.
