And there is something about beechwood aging. But have you ever wondered what malt and hops are? And what does beechwood have to do with beer? Let's take a look at how beer works by going through the entire brewing process. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338349.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338349.html Tue, 13 May 2008 02:11 CDT Princess Tea Party http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338351.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338351.html Tue, 13 May 2008 02:11 CDT Every spring it happens. You think you're ready to venture into salad entrees, but Mother Nature -- at least the Midwestern Mama version -- decides otherwise. Baby, it's (still) chilly and wet outside. Because salsa and avocado evoke warm, sunshiney days, their presence in this soup makes up for the lack of swimsuit weather. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338352.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338352.html Tue, 13 May 2008 02:11 CDT Among newspapers, magazines, television and the Internet, you'll find plenty of advice on how to save money in these difficult economic times. Automobile experts say you can save bucks and up your mileage by avoiding jack-rabbit starts and hard stops. But there's not much we can do about the price of a gallon of gas. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338353.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338353.html Wed, 14 May 2008 05:35 CDT By Kathy Manweiler http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338354.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338354.html Tue, 13 May 2008 02:11 CDT Here's a sweet activity to brighten up a rainy day: bake a batch of these cookie pops, then decorate them with a rainbow of frosting colors. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338368.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338368.html Wed, 14 May 2008 05:33 CDT Here is a selection of dessert recipes from Audrey Janiece Neely's cookbook, "Cooking Without Mom." http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338369.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338369.html Wed, 14 May 2008 05:45 CDT -- http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338370.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338370.html Tue, 13 May 2008 02:11 CDT J.M. HIRSCH http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338372.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338372.html Tue, 13 May 2008 02:11 CDT Unlike crab cakes, which taste best when you limit the cracker or bread filler, these fish cakes benefit from such additions to add texture. My fish cakes also always include diced onion, green pepper and celery. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338371.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/338371.html Tue, 13 May 2008 02:11 CDT Cookbook author and Food Network TV maven Paula Deen says this meatloaf cooks in a mild barbecue-like sauce. Use a large enough pan so the sauce doesn't come up too high around the meat. If you are salt-sensitive, choose no-salt tomato sauce. You'll still get sodium from the other ingredients. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/337765.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/337765.html Mon, 12 May 2008 18:48 CDT Forced to pay for once-free sandwich toppings and twice as much for some steak cuts, shoppers are wondering whether higher grocery bills and restaurant tabs truly reflect the trickle down of a global rise in food prices. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/337425.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/337425.html Mon, 12 May 2008 12:55 CDT Cheeseheads don't need to be bleu: Experts say predictions that California will soon overtake Wisconsin as the nation's top cheese producer are unlikely to come true. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/333113.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/333113.html Wed, 07 May 2008 12:36 CDT I love entertaining on Friday nights. The pressure is off because guests, bless their little hearts, expect a no-fuss meal. Trust me, that is what I give them after a full work week. http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/333086.html http://www.bnd.com/living/food/story/333086.html Wed, 07 May 2008 12:36 CDT "Margarita Mama: Mocktails for Moms-to-Be"
