This week marks the end of what we call “Birthday Month” in my family. We celebrate five birthdays in the month of March! It’s kind of nuts but we try to have fun with it and I try to make special foods or bake favorite cakes for each person. Some years I do better than […]
It’s official – the first week of spring is upon us, and what better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than with food. In the southern U.S. where I grew up, springtime came right on schedule. By the time Easter rolled around daffodils were blooming and bright green shoots were beginning to burst […]
It started as a side project experiment five years ago. Elijah Myers and his wife Antonia got into baking through the restaurant industry and discovered they both love to bake…so much so, that in 2018 they decided to see what happened if they sold some of their baked goods at the Northwest Crossing Farmers Market […]
Corned Beef and Cabbage is a traditional American St. Patrick’s Day dish and it’s likely that culinary custom came from back in the day when Irish immigrants substituted beef for pork and cabbage for potatoes because of cost. Yep, it was less expensive to eat corned beef with cabbage than it was to prepare pork […]
I used to be freaked out about cooking fish so for years I simply avoided doing it. If I ate fish, someone else prepared it. I finally faced my fear (that’s what we’re supposed to be doing, right?!). If I can do it, so can you. Don’t be intimidated to cook this salmon. It doesn’t take […]
He’s worked in famous kitchens on both coasts, including Daniel Boulud’s namesake in Manhattan and Michel Richard’s Citrus in West Hollywood. He was the sous chef when the French brasserie Balthazar opened in SoHo in the Spring of 1997. But Sascha Lyon, the new executive chef/co-proprietor of 5 Fusion & Sushi Bar in downtown Bend […]
I call this recipe Family Chicken Cacciatore because it makes enough to feed the whole family plus extra and it’s one of those meals that can be made and served in the same pot. That means whoever’s doing kitchen clean-up gets a break too! It’s delicious on its own but is also very good served with […]
Since the Source Weekly’s Central Oregon Pets Issue comes out this week, it only made sense to feature a recipe for our furry friends. This one is specifically for our four-legged canine friends (sorry cats, rabbits, ponies, etc.). Dogs do make up the majority of pet ownership in the U.S. with 69 million households having […]
My last meal would likely be a taco, some guacamole and chips and a margarita to wash it down. I rarely eat any Mexican food that I don’t absolutely love, so I am biased, no doubt. However, I’m doing my best to be neutral and honest about my recent Papi Chulo’s experience. Papi Chulo’s Jalisco […]
A Taste of Bend is now open on Galveston Avenue right next door to Brother Jon’s Public House. Calling themselves Bend’s one stop taste shop, the quaint café offers locally baked confections, tea and coffee. Cookies, doughnuts, cupcakes, pies, scones, bagels and more baked goodies are all made locally by small and home-based entrepreneurs in […]
