bella eats - sharing food + photography from charlottesville va We have a special category for certain types of meals in our house: BHubb meals. As in, 'that's a BHubb dinner', which tranlates to 'that's the kind of dish that makes Brian, aka BHubb, a happy man'. Typically a BHubb meal is rich and heavy, and most often has some sort of pork product involved. Examples of BHubb meals from the past include Slow-Cooked Carnitas, Pappardelle with Spicy Pork Ragu, and Bacon Garlic Marinara with Homemade Meatballs. You see, sometimes I get on a salad kick, or a soup kick, and there will be weeks where most of our meals are one or the other. I knew going in that this Orecchiette Carbonara would get such a nod. This is a dish that I feel certain will make a frequent appearance at our table.

Soul Warming Butternut Squash Soup for #SundaySupper (gluten free) — Cupcakes & Kale Chips The #SundaySupper Group is amazing! Isabel, aka Family Foodie, our fearless leader, is often asking us for theme suggestions. When it was suggested to do a #SundaySupper to help get the word out about relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy victims, the crew jumped in. Although my family and friends got through the storm safely, with only minimal losses (other than a loss of power, some for up to a week and a half), many of the places that I know and love have been devastated. There is actually a story as to why I chose this soup as my recipe for this Sunday Supper. By the next morning, we were hearing reports of it potentially taking days or weeks to get power back. I ATE THE SOUP! 24 hours later, the lights came back on. Because we were one of the quickest to have power restored, we were able to provide a place for family and friends to relax, stay warm, eat a good meal, take a hot shower, do laundry, and even a place for my grandpa to sleep for a couple nights. Recipe type: Soup Enjoy!

Grilled Cheese Social I've got to get this off of my chest. I care about bees. Like a lot. So much so, that when I have to write up the Links We Love at work each week I try to throw in one story about what's going on in the world of bees. It's gotten a little much though. I know. So to talk about bees without being a total drag, I've made a new sandwich to showcase their sweet, sweet nectar. So here's my spin... Ingredients: - about 4 slices fresh mozzarella - 2 hearty slices of a Bâtard - 5 slices of sopressata picante - 1 tbs of red pepper flaked butter (combine 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes with one tablespoon of real salted butter, MIX) - 1 tbs of basil infused honey (fresh basil leaves and tupelo honey Ok, so I'm totally obsessed with tupelo honey (and it doesn't have anything to do with my obsession for Van Morrison either.

How to Caramelize Onions, Caramelized Onions Recipe (with video) Caramelizing onions, by slowly cooking them in a little olive oil until they are richly browned, is a wonderful way to pull flavor out of the simplest of ingredients. Watch How to Make Caramelized Onions Onions are naturally sweet; and as caramel comes from the simple cooking of sugar when you slowly cook onions over an extended period of time, the natural sugars in the onions caramelize, making the result intensely and wonderfully flavorful. How to Use Caramelized Onions You can use onions prepared this way on top of steak, or for onion soup, tarts, pizza, or onion dip. By the way, I put together a time-lapse video of the caramelization process, to show how the onions cook down and caramelize over the course of an hour. Other Options for Deglazing the Onions In Step 3, there's a suggestion to deglaze the pan with wine (red or white) or balsamic vinegar.
