Blueberry( Coffee Cake Muffins )!!!

Posted by Gianna Elizabeth Ianos on Thursday, July 21, 2011, In : Coffee Cake!!!! 
They say, who they is I guess the experts, but of course since I am a Diva I would follow my stomach first anywhere!
Anyway the opinion is that muffins are now the new Cake!
Cupcakes were all the fad a few months ago, but the old time favorite is pushing that sweet little thing aside and taking it's dominance over it once more!
So taking my lead from what YOU want my customer,This is my new favorite for my final muffin in the July series.

This Blueberry cream muffin taste like a coffee ca...

Gourmet Pumpkin Muffins!

Posted by Gianna Elizabeth Ianos on Monday, July 18, 2011, In : Jumbo's 
Pumpkin Spice and everything nice! 
Creating new flavors for morning muffins is always exciting.
This muffin was no exception.

Here is what I did to make it a little more spectacular.
I took my spice bread recipe + my muffin recipe added some Libby's gourmet pumpkin mix and a touch more pumpkin spice.
Then added a little extra cream to make everything a little more rich.
Combined all the above, blended to creamy and baked in jumbo cupcake liners for 
app. 16 minutes @ 350' 
The result was m...

I love these. Sometimes not being able to sleep can create something new & wonderful!
I created these on Thursday of this week, as I wanted to sample them with a new client I was meeting.
You never know what will come out of your brain @ 3:00Am,, well (3) new flavors of muffins did.
I am very pleased with the results and so were my new clients. 

Now to describe these I would say this.

Like the Greeks say this one does come bearing gifts, and it's gift is deliciousness!

Summer Salads

Posted by Gianna Elizabeth Ianos on Saturday, July 9, 2011,

Divadish Kitchens loves to make salads.
They are simple, do not heat up the kitchen and are a satisfying meal.

The pictured salad is a Pear & Blue cheese with Sweet Bell peppers.
I sometimes will add crumbled lean bacon crisps to it for extra protein, or sliced hard boiled eggs.

The dressing I make with this is a dry ground mustard, Italian wine vinegar, dark green olive oil, and sugar to taste. Shake all together all ingredients in a glass jar, and refrigerate any leftovers.

Red, White & Blue!

Posted by Gianna Elizabeth Ianos on Monday, July 4, 2011, In : July 4th, 2011 
Today is Independence Day....! We all know what that means.... Food....(:) (:) 
So to continue in this honered tradition I am going to throw my culinary caution to the wind and give you my July 4th's picks....!

Red: My choice a rich Marina sauce simmering slowly for 2-3 days, add lots of Parmesan cheese, feta, and mozzrella.
Serve over  angel hair pasta, add a large italian salad and crusty bread.
Open a bottle of semi sweet red wine, and let the evening unfold perhaps in someones embrace...
