Healthy & Delicious: Jicama and Watermelon Salad

August 9, 2010 – 11:31 am | by admin

From Recipes Editor’s note: On Mondays, Kristen Swensson of Cheap, Healthy, Good swings by these parts to share healthy and delicious recipes with us. Take it away, Kristen! [Photograph: Kristen Swensson] It’s rare you can use the word “refreshing” to describe a non-beverage recipe, but man, does Jicama and Watermelon Salad ever fit the bill. A juicy, citrusy, virtually fat-free Bobby Flay recipe, it could replace ice water as your go-to revitalizer on warm summer days . The dish’s two main ingredients are watermelon and jicama, the latter of which may be unfamiliar to many. Shaped like a large, flatter onion, the jicama has a rough, potato-like skin and sweet, crunchy flesh, texturally similar to that of a radish. Nutritionally speaking, it’s a solid source of fiber and Vitamin C, and very low in calories. I’ve only eaten jicamas raw, as crudité or as part of a salad, but the internet assures me they can be cooked, as well. Here, it provides a crisp counterpoint to the watermelon, which eventually becomes a tad squishy in the juices. One word of caution: For this particular recipe, the jicama has to be julienned, meaning the time it takes to prepare depends entirely on your knife skills. I’m fairly handy with a chef’s blade, and it was still a …

Cook the Book: Watermelon Margaritas

June 7, 2010 – 9:25 pm | by admin

From Recipes [Photograph: Caroline Russock] High temperatures aren’t the best motivator for cooking, but somehow my kitchen still saw a lot of action over the weekend. The blender was buzzing, mixing up all kinds of frozen cocktails. I was also busy with the mortar and pestle grinding up mint and sugar for mojitos. The food processor even got a workout making cucumber purée for a cucumber and gin concoction. But eventually cocktail hour was over and I opted for delivery tacos. Seeking out something cool and refreshing to pair with the assortment of al pastor and carnitas tacos, I thumbed through Robb Walsh ’s The Tex-Mex Grill and Backyard Barbacoa Cookbook for inspiration. The Tex-Mex Grill and Backyard Barbacoa Cookbook has no shortage of Texas-style cocktails, but these Watermelon Margaritas seemed refreshing enough to cool us down even when the AC wasn’t doing the trick. Instead of throwing all of the ingredients into the blender, Walsh uses the watermelon in two ways. First the melon is cut into cubes and gently juiced through a colander to make smooth, entirely seedless, and virtually …

Dolly Wants to Play…

April 23, 2010 – 1:30 pm | by admin

There really is nothing more terrifying than a creepy baby doll. I’m serious. They freaked me out as a kid and still manage to scare the pants off me today, what with their static staring eyes and little outstretched zombie arms and all. Thankfully, there’s a new baking trend that makes these dolls waaaaaay less creepy. (I’m lying; these are terrifying. Proceed with caution.) Don’t… make… eye contact… All tucked in, and ready to kill. “Ooh! I’ll take that corner piece…” “…and an arm. But that’s it . I’m dieting.” Note: This cake is not to scale. Usually the pacifier is much larger. Is it impolite to suck frosting off the baby’s legs? It is? Poor taste, huh? … Ok, what about its head? … No? Fine. I’ll just collect my watermelon and show myself out. Thanks, Valentina, Liz C., Carrie J., and Dana S.! Ya know, these cakes started out as creepy , but now they’re looking kinda DELICIOUS. Mmmm…. babies…. grlslgrsagagagle….. – Related Wreckage: Come On Barbie, Let’s Go Party
