Basil and Buttercream: A Love Affair with Food. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. I can't believe that I have neglected this blog for so long. Things have been a little busy here, traveling every which way. but I am back, with photos of our pasta adventure! I accidentally threw away the recipe . oops.). We started with the mushroom filling. Isn't that just gorgeous? Maybe not the most flattering picture of me ever. First you make this little mountain of flour, and make a valley and put some eggs in it. After you...

Basil and Buttercream: A Love Affair with Food: An adventure in firsts:
http://basilandbuttercream.blogspot.com/2010/10/adventure-in-firsts.html
Basil and Buttercream: A Love Affair with Food. Saturday, October 30, 2010. An adventure in firsts:. A few weeks ago, I got some apples in my CSA box. My initial reaction was to buy caramel sauce, and make a lovely snack to take to work with me. Sadly, I couldn't find any caramel sauce in stores whose first ingredient WASN'T high fructose corn syrup, which I try to avoid. So, I bought some brown sugar and went home to find a recipe. It's pretty simple. Water, sugar, cream, and butter. So then I ate my li...

Basil and Buttercream: A Love Affair with Food. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Strawberry Cake with Cream Cheese Icing. As I write this, I'm eating a. Piece of this cake. It is good.

Basil and Buttercream: A Love Affair with Food. Saturday, October 16, 2010. Pudding is good to make when you're stressed. I'm a terrible food blogger.

So instead of sweet potato ravioli, I'm doing pudding today. 2 Tbsp. cornstarch. 1/8 tsp. salt. 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten. 2 Tbsp. butter, softened. 2 tsp vanilla (I always tend to "spill" the vanilla and add more than the recipe calls for.). Mix sugar, cor...

http://basilandbuttercream.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Basil and Buttercream: A Love Affair with Food. Wednesday, August 11, 2010. This is the perfect summer side dish (or you can do like we did, and use these as the main course.) SO YUMMY! I never used to like squash much - mainly because the only way I ever ate it (unwillingly) was boiled to a mushy nothingness by my grandma. (Whose only method of cooking vegetables, apparently, was boiling. She missed out on SO MUCH GOODNESS.). First, you get some squash. And cut it up in chunks. Once that's done, you're ...
