Americana Kitchen: Food and American Culture: A Celebration Dinner
http://americanakitchen.blogspot.com/2009/04/celebration-dinner.html
Sunday, April 26, 2009. The recipe, poppyseed chicken, is from a very good friend of mine who actually works within our honors program here at my school. She had touted it to me as a "great (EASY) dish to serve when your boss is coming to dinner"; having no real boss, at least one that I would be inviting to dinner, I figured our Friday dinner could be reason enough to try out the yummy-sounding recipe. 3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and torn/cut into pieces. 1 can cream of chicken soup. AUTHOR'S NOTE* This...

Americana Kitchen: Food and American Culture: August 2008
http://americanakitchen.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. Cooking in College, Year Two. I'm making a concerted effort to use the myriad of food resources at my fingertips, and so yesterday I made a list of all the dishes I've read or heard about that I want to make this semester. It's a long list of hopefully blog-worthy food. And I can officially check this one off, quite tasty enough to be a keeper. Tandoori chicken with red potato and green bean saute. 6 oz plain yogurt (or a similarly small container; I use non-fat). Remove the mari...

Americana Kitchen: Food and American Culture: June 2008
http://americanakitchen.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2008. The Joy of Random Cookbooks. Take, for example, a shelf full of cookbooks like Rachel Ray's 30-Minute Meals. And Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade. What do those books say about the cook? Probably that he or she wants to put full, tasty meals on the table without a ton of prep work and kitchen time. What do they say about the times? Alcatraz Women's Club Cook Book. Dewey or Don't We? How to Gorge George Without Fattening Fanny. Cookbook shelf say about me? Sunday, June 22, 2008. It's no s...

Americana Kitchen: Food and American Culture: January 2009
http://americanakitchen.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. I'm starting to realize that, unintentionally, a lot of the foods I cook and then choose to blog on this site are rather bland in color (like this. Case in point: this cake I made for my dad's birthday. Yes, color-wise it doesn't look that interesting. But I've tasted all the constituent parts (various shades of white to taupe), and they are yummy. The color does not make the cake, the flavors do. And this one is a winner. Adapted from Sky High: Irresistible Triple-Layer Cakes.

Americana Kitchen: Food and American Culture: February 2009
http://americanakitchen.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2009. Jamie Oliver's English Onion Soup with Cheddar. Go ahead, accuse me of cookbook monotony. I know what you're thinking: Another Jamie Oliver recipe? After you just gave us one last week? Goodness gracious, woman, you haven't been blogging long enough to start so blatantly cooking from a single cookbook. What's the deal? The deal, I tell you, is twofold:. 1) There's only so much time a girl can spare for sifting for new recipes when the big thesis is due in T-minus 6 weeks. Sweat...

Americana Kitchen: Food and American Culture: What I've Been Up To
http://americanakitchen.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-ive-been-up-to.html
Sunday, April 5, 2009. What I've Been Up To. Due to a variety of circumstances including returning from spring break, attending an Easter egg hunt, and turning in my thesis (! I have not been cooking anything new lately. Oh, I've been cooking, all right, because I can only buy meals to a certain point before I feel badly about myself. But everything I've been cooking I've already posted. But things are looking up. My thesis defense is Thursday, and then I'm done done done. She must be a stress baker!

Americana Kitchen: Food and American Culture: December 2008
http://americanakitchen.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. The New Christmas Potatoes. The thing about holiday meals, it seems to me, is that it is so easy to fall into a food rut. In the name of tradition, we decide not to venture from the dishes we're used to making for any given holiday. Case in point: my first Thanksgiving. The end result, I must say, was fantastic. Not too much of a change from mashed potatoes to wreak holiday havoc, but different enough in execution, taste, and texture to keep things interesting. I wholeh...Prehe...

Americana Kitchen: Food and American Culture: The Fiftieth Post: Breakfast for Dinner
http://americanakitchen.blogspot.com/2009/04/fiftieth-post-breakfast-for-dinner.html
Monday, April 20, 2009. The Fiftieth Post: Breakfast for Dinner. Welcome, all, to my fiftieth post here at Americana Kitchen! I've enjoyed what's been the beginning of this food blog, and I hope you have, too. Seems like I've been chatting about food for quite some time already. And goodness! It's just dawned on me that I should start thinking about a blogiversary post. After all, May 25 is really just around the corner. Yikes. Whatever.) Try it! Potatoes, Eggs, Bacon, and Cheese. When the potatoes are p...
