Seasoned Cooking: 25 March 2016 Announcements

Pasta doesn't have to spend all of its time with tomato sauce. Grab some Louisiana fun and toss it with the great flavors you've come to love in jambalaya and have dinner on the table in less than a half an hour. Now there's a reason to celebrate!

Sometimes a weekend still doesn't leave time for a long, luxurious breakfast. However, that doesn't mean you need to settle for a bagel with a schmear of cream cheese. Give yourself less than a half hour and you can have a fantastic fluffy oven pancake!

Order an old fashioned cocktail just about anywhere in the country and the bartender is likely to grab whiskey from the shelf. However, in Wisconsin, that will be brandy, thank you very much. The Brandy Old Fashioned is a state tradition and one of my favorite drinks … but I'm not above tweaking it a bit!

Adding a splash of tangy fruit takes classic magic bars to an entirely new level: one that will have you making sure they make an appearance in your home more often! That will be particularly true when you realize you can have them cooling on the counter in less than an hour.

Enjoyable as a nightcap or in your favorite cocktail, bourbon can also bring its smoothness to your dinner table. Get a great recipe for Sweet Bourbon Pork that boasts a complex sauce in an easy vessel: your slow cooker!
