Brownies

Making good brownies is not about the recipe you use, but the technique. My baker once overcooked the brownies and my client called and said they were dry. I knew exactly what happened. I baked again, being careful not to over bake and the client was happy.

I love a chewy brownie with a smooth ganache icing. It’s a marriage made in heaven! Enjoy

    Pumpkin Bars- An Easy Fall Dessert

    Two of my first mentors were Jane Noland and Miriam King. They both taught courses that included a vegetable lab. Each lab dish included a vegetable- even the dessert. Pumpkin Bars were an easy favorite that called for canned pumpkin. The use of vegetable oil and baking on an ungreased jelly roll pan furthermore made the recipe fast and easily manageable in a one hour lab. The recipe results in a moist cake topped with cream cheese frosting and topped with a sprinkling of pecans. Enjoy!

    Candied Jalapenos

    My youngest daughter was working at a local antique store that sold canned food for gifts. One was candied jalapenos. My daughter loved them so much she was eating a jar a day. So in self defense, I started work on developing a recipe. That was more than 25 years ago and the recipe is still a hit. We love it on a cracker with cream cheese then topped with one or more slices of jalapenos. You can also serve on a log of cream cheese with crackers or crisp bread. Enjoy!

      Sandwich Spreads

      When we served sandwich trays at Stevens Catering, we never put out mayonnaise or mustard for spreads. Mayo Spread and Mustard Mayo Sauce made sandwiches so much better than those with plain mayonnaise and mustard. We often served them in hollowed out cabbages placed in the center of a tray with rolls of ham and turkey placed around the edge of the cabbages and garnished with cherry tomatoes. Enjoy!

        Thai Ribbons

        Here is another recipe at Stevens Catering that you cannot make enough of. I once saw a teenage girl with a plate full of only Thai Ribbons. It was the first time we served them and I knew we would not have enough to serve everyone the 2 per person serving the recipe allowed. It is one of the joys of catering and I love it when people enjoy food.

        This recipe calls for Mr. Yoshida’s Original Gourmet Sauce which I haven’t found lately in local stores, but you can order online. Teriyaki Sauce is a good substitute . I served it as an appetizer but it would be great as a meal served with stir-fried rice. Enjoy!
