20-Minute Berry Jam

Use up your almost over-the-hill berries for the sweetest homemade jam that cooks in just 20 minutes.15-Minute Berry Jam | foodiecrush.com

Who else finds themselves guilty of the best of healthy intentions and buys too many berries that then start to look like Yoda as they ripen faster than you can eat them? It’s okay, not to worry, there’s a remedy for that: Homemade jam.

The thing is, homemade jam is the perfect remedy for those fresh berries that are at, or have just passed the point, of being perfectly ripe for snacking. Just because they may not be picture perfect is no reason for tossing them out.

The berries may not look the same the day they went into the fridge—with a few more dimples and their skin beginning to look a bit withered—but that’s my signal that their sweetness just leveled up, making them perfectly ready for crunchy sourdough toast and this easy to make, sweet berry jam. continue to the recipe… about 20-Minute Berry Jam

How to Make Caramelized Onions

Caramelized onions add a whole lot of flavor with very few ingredients and even less effort, so long as you know the secrets. Here’s how to do it.

How to Make Caramelized Onions | foodiecrush.com

Chopped onion is the foundation to oh-so many recipes. But as everyone knows, raw and sometimes even sautéed onions can be intense or overpowering.

But when sliced onions are cooked low and slow in a bit of butter and oil, they become savory bites of sweet candy that are nearly jam-like, transforming everything from burgers to pizza to pastas, and definitely chips in dips, with their deep, rich, and nutty sweetness.

Don’t even get me started on soup. French Onion Soup without caramelized onions would simply be tepid broth, and who’s craving that?

Baked Salmon with Spicy Plum Preserves and a GIVEAWAY

Baked Salmon with Spicy Plum Preserves from foodiecrush.com

You’ve been there, we all have in one form or another. You’ve invited friends over for a weeknight bite and a sip, but the bossman says, “You know that campaign you were working on for Friday? Guess what? Times change and you will too. It’s due tomorrow.” Sucks to be you is what you’re thinking and then you realize, oh wait, he’s got his coat and his cute little lunchbox his wife packed for him and HE’S the one walking out the door.

But wait! I have friends coming over and I still need to stop by the grocery store for the main dishalish. I still need to grab some vino at the wine store and vacuum the top layer of dog hair off the floor.

What’s a hostess to do?

Sweet Pear and Rosemary Honey with Havarti Grilled Cheese

Foodie Crush Pear Havarti Grilled Cheese

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. They’re not just for lunch anymore…and National Grilled Cheese Month continues.

This past weekend was a rainy one, where the clouds hugged the mountains and raindrops fell in sideways sheaths thanks to the whipping wind and fast moving storm. There is pretty much nothing I like better than a rainstorm, except for a thunderstorm. Or an epic snowstorm. Cocooning. That’s my idea of a good day.

With Smudge’s soccer game cancelled we had an unexpected opportunity to slow down from our regular weekend schedule filled with postponed errands, playdates and soccer games. Yep, the life of a parent is rarely your own. But its pretty damn awesome.

It was too wet to wander out for brunch, so we were definitely eating at home. And what did Smudge request? Grilled cheese. I don’t know why I was surprised—what kid doesn’t request grilled cheese as their go-to meal? But for breakfast?continue to the recipe… about Sweet Pear and Rosemary Honey with Havarti Grilled Cheese

  • Wet or dry? For the juiciest turkey on the block, brining the bird with salt results in a plump, moist, and flavorful turkey every time. But is a wet brine or a dry turkey brine better? I tested both, and when you tap the link in my profile, you'll get my recipes and results. Brine on! https://www.foodiecrush.com/easy-turkey-brine-wet-dry/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #foodiecrush #turkey #thanksgiving #brine #turkeybrine #foodiecrusheats #juicyturkey #recipes #huffposttaste #thefeedfeed #feedfeed #eeeeeeats #eeeeeats #onthetable #beautifulcuisines #instayum #thanksgivingdinner #bhgfood #onmyplate #f52grams #rslove
  • These super simple, one-pan chilaquiles use nearly the same ingredients as enchiladas but won’t weight you down because we’re skipping the melted gooey cheese in favor of a sprinkling of salty queso fresco or cotija instead. Eat em for brunch, lunch, and for sure brinner.

  • All you need is five simple ingredients and time for the cream to reduce with savory Parmesan cheese for a creamy but not cloying, fresh instead of stringy, restaurant-style creamed spinach cooked right on the stovetop.

  • Ahhh, 'tis the season for cooking the perfectly juicy turkey bird. I've been testing wet v. dry turkey brines for the past three days. Dedicated I am. But for those times when you don't have 3 days to spend on a bird (ahem, always?) this oven-roasted turkey breast comes out perfectly juicy every time with a perfectly crispy skin too. And even better? It cooks in just 30 minutes. Bring on the gobblers!

  • When roasted in the oven, baked sweet potatoes become so sweet and flavorful there’s not much need for adding anything else to them. But when special occasions like Thanksgiving (or any fall potluck party) come around, dressing up the humble sweet potato with maple syrup, white cheddar cheese and brown sugar-laced bacon bits, then baking them up twice, is exactly what’s called for.
