Microwave Iced Tea

July 20, 2017 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

“My cousin Cindy is an avid iced tea fan who insists on making it fresh every day. This is her neat trick that’s so easy you may never go back to your tea kettle. You will need a microwave-safe container like a Pyrex® 2-cup liquid measuring cup. We combine teas, including black, green, white, flavored,…

Iced Tea (and Sun Tea)

July 17, 2017 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

It’s summertime, which means it’s also iced tea time! Actually, in the South, iced tea is served year round, so wherever you live, or whatever the time of year, how about a tall, cold glass of tea? You can brew this indoors or make it outdoors (aka sun tea). Be advised that there is a…

Polenta Vegetable Bake

July 13, 2017 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

This is one of our favorite vegetarian meals. It’s a filling dish that you can easily assemble ahead of time, then bake in the oven when you’re ready. Don’t want to use your oven? Check out the stovetop version too.

Polenta and Vegetables (Stovetop version)

July 13, 2017 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

We had planned to make Polenta Vegetable Bake one weekend when we were staying in a lake cabin. However, when we got there, we discovered there was no oven—only a portable, 2-burner cooktop! This is how we made it work, and now we often follow this version instead of baking it, especially if we need…

Apple, Cabbage, and Fennel Slaw

July 10, 2017 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

I have to thank my cousin Cindy for the recipe that inspired this salad. She’s a big fan of apples, and they find their way into many of her recipes. When Cindy lived in Nevada, she had a neighbor with apple trees who would bring them bags and bags of apples, so she added them…

Poached Eggs over Sweet Potato Fries

June 27, 2017 by Finite Foodie Leave a Comment

In Spain, we were served a dish of fried matchstick potatoes, with fried eggs on top and a generous drizzle of paprika-infused olive oil. I have to admit, it was delicious–even if it did have a million calories! This is our healthier take on that scrumptious dish. To save time, we use frozen sweet potato…

HOW TO SET UP YOUR FIRST KITCHEN (Click on photo to read more.)

KITCHEN ESSENTIALS

Our concept for the Finite Foodie® has these simple goals in mind —

1. To provide simple, clear steps for setting up your first, probably small kitchen with a minimal amount of equipment and investment.

2. To teach you cooking basics,  terminology and terms, and common conversions and equivalents.

3. To inspire you with healthful, easy recipes.

When we simmer a chicken in water (see our recipe for Slow Cooked Chicken) we end up with a pot full of rather bland chicken broth. No problem! Once we’ve removed the meat, we add the carcass back to the broth, throw in some vegetables and make a rich and complex bone broth. You can…
