2020 Wrap Up

December 18, 2020 by Nicole Coudal 6 Comments

My first blog post of 2020 highlighted no-crust Honeybell pie; my last post was all about raisin pie.   I didn’t plan it, but I think it reveals how much I love pie. . . Even when I felt like I was moving through quicksand due to the heaviness of this pandemic-filled year, being in…

Almond-Cranberry Granola

July 3, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

Remember years ago when granola was the stuff eaten only by Birkenstock-wearing, long-haired, herbal tea-drinking folks, or those uber-healthy mountain climbers?  They all seemed to really like the stuff that looked like bird food to the rest of us. But, in reality, those healthy specimens were onto something back then, and granola has now (rightly)…

Face Masks by Delicious Dry Goods!

May 1, 2020 by Nicole Coudal

You know that phrase “Necessity is the mother of invention“?  It’s a concept that has resulted in some pretty amazing inventions, and it’s also a concept that sparked a new product offering in my business! As I sat with my artist hubby in our studio recently, discussing our small business challenges, we remembered a friend’s…

A Picnic in the Sky

November 7, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

If you’ve traveled by plane recently, you’ve surely experienced the limited array of snacks offered by some airlines. . . In spite of these limited options, why do we still look forward to seeing that beverage cart?  Maybe it’s because we’re bored and the anticipated visit from a friendly flight attendant is welcome.  Maybe the…

Yes, it’s time to think about Fall dishes like warm soups, cocoa, roasted root veggies and, of course, all-things-pumpkin!

Podcast with Eating Cake by the Ocean

June 5, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Recently I was interviewed for a podcast called Eating Cake by the Ocean – fun chats with folks doing interesting things.   Mandy Wanzz is the gal who created it and she’s one of the coolest chicks I’ve met, with a wicked sense of humor that I just “get.”  She’s also from Massachusetts, which makes her…

8 Recipes for Flavored Butter

April 11, 2019 by Nicole Coudal

Compound Butters

Butter adds richness and deliciousness to just about anything, right?  Julia Child surely thought so, as evidenced by her statement “With enough butter, anything is good.” Yes, butter is awesome on its own, but why not jazz it up, especially for that holiday dinner where you’ll be serving your warm, homemade rolls? Flavored (a.k.a. compound)…

Towel Cover Page

Remember the scene in the movie The Jerk when Navin Johnson (Steve Martin) gets a delivery of phone books?  He grabs one from the delivery man, frantically flips through it to find his name, then shouts joyously “The new phone book’s here!  The new phone book’s here!” That’s how I feel about my kitchen towels….

The Poetry of Food

October 5, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

radishes

I love the inspiration for this blog post, which was originally published October, 2015.  It’s a fitting time to re-circulate it, since southwest Florida is coming into its growing/harvesting season after a long, hot summer, and farmer’s markets are in full swing.  So, I’m looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things growers are harvesting…

5 Uses for Fresh Lemongrass

September 28, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Lemongrass in garden

Lemongrass is a lovely, citrus scented herb in the grass family – it has a very pleasing lemon scent, and cooking with it offers none of the bitterness of the actual lemon, so it’s versatile in sweet or savory dishes, spicy or mild.  But do you find yourself with lots of lemongrass and don’t know…
