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

  • This double chocolate zucchini bread is a the best of both worlds: healthy thanks to zucchini and a true chocoholic cure thanks to a double dose of cocoa and chocolate chips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *RECIPE TIPS* • Don’t be tempted to use milk chocolate chips over semi-sweet chocolate chips in this recipe or you’ll miss out on the more pronounced chocolate flavor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • You’ll know it’s done when the edges start to pull away from the pan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • For high altitude bakers, like me, decrease the sugar by 2 tablespoons and reduce the baking powder and baking soda to 3/4 teaspoon each. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe left to get the ingredient list then tap the bookmark tab below to save for later and get the whole recipe w/ the link in my profile https://www.foodiecrush.com/chocolate-zucchini-bread-recipe/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #foodiecrush #zucchinibread #chocolatelover #dessertforbreakfast #quickbread #eeeeeeats #huffposttaste #thekitchn #thefeedfeed #baking #rslove
