The Saucy Lady: The 7th Annual 2011 Vendy Awards
http://thesaucylady-denise.blogspot.com/2011/09/7th-annual-2011-vendy-awards.html
Sunday, September 25, 2011. The 7th Annual 2011 Vendy Awards. Would New York be the same if there weren’t “dirty water dogs” or perhaps you might recall several trips to SoHo or the Lower East Side, many drinks later and A MUCH needed stop for Halal meat at 3am. Would Breakfast at Tiffany’s be BREAKFAST without Holly Golightly’s coffee cup? So, for the Street Vendor Project, The Vendy Awards is the celebration of the best food that these sidewalk chefs and street vendors can offer. Man, was I excited!

The Saucy Lady: Ode to Vinaigrette
http://thesaucylady-denise.blogspot.com/2011/10/ode-to-vinaigrette.html
Saturday, October 15, 2011. I have a confession. I don’t buy commercial salad dressings or vinaigrettes. Not because they are expensive because when they go on sale, they are like 99 cents but because once I started making my own vinaigrettes and salad dressings, I couldn’t stop! AND sure, if you do a comparison, 99 cents versus the pennies it costs to make a vinaigrette, it really is a no brainer. IT’S SCIENCE, IT’S DELICIOUS! Some people will also add a bit of honey or sugar to sweeten the vinaigrette,...

Tuesday, July 19, 2011. I’ve tried to embrace the Meatless Monday movement, really I have and I’ve found that it’s actually relatively easy to make the switch from serving meat focused dishes to going vegetarian or meat free one day a week. In fact, I’m probably going meatless more than one day a week. So, if you haven’t heard of the Meatless Monday movement, I encourage you to visit the website,. Http:/ www.meatlessmonday.com. What started as a local movement by a non for profit with. Preheat oven to 350.

The Saucy Lady: Trader Joe(NESING)
http://thesaucylady-denise.blogspot.com/2011/10/trader-joenesing.html
Saturday, October 8, 2011. Since getting back from Europe I’ve yet to adjust to the time difference, as usual. Depressingly I woke up at 5:30am this morning and after sitting in the dark drinking my coffee, petting my cats and catching up on a few days of missed television shows, I decided to be productive and do my grocery shopping early, so as not to fill my WHOLE weekend with chores. The first outpost of the national chain grocery store, Trader Joe’s opened up in Staten Island yesterday. Frozen falafe...

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Those Delicious Biscuits from that Place You Get Seafood. Which shall not be named. You know those delicious cheddar biscuits from that seafood chain restaurant that you don’t admit going to? That place where you go to devour massive amounts of mediocre seafood, but in truth really get most excited about the prospect of devouring several of those cheddar biscuits? That these cheddar biscuits are an experience onto themselves. Warm, cheesy, bacony- delicious! Well, now you can!

Saturday, March 26, 2011. Feel Better Brown Butter Brownies. 8221; asking “are you okay? 8221; Eh…. So yeah, I needed something to make me feel better. That something is chocolate or to be more specific, one of the best brownie recipes I’ve ever tried. A foolproof delicious, moist, chocolaty, bit of fudgy perfection with walnuts. The first time I tried this recipe I wondered to myself “why the HELL do people use boxed brownies? Browned Butter Brownies with Walnuts. Prep Time: 20 Minutes. 1 1/4 cups sugar.

The Saucy Lady: In Bruges Part II
http://thesaucylady-denise.blogspot.com/2011/11/in-bruges-part-ii.html
Saturday, November 12, 2011. In Bruges Part II. Amsterdam, an hour and a half outside of Belgium via the high speed Thaylis train which meant that by 10:30 am, I was touring the famed canals! If there’s one thing that I love about Europe it’s the close proximity of the neighboring countries. An hour and a half and I could have also visited Paris! I left Amsterdam with souvenirs and CHEESE, is there anything better than that? With my dinner I had a glass of a local Flanders red ale, Duchesse de Bourgogne,...

http://thesaucylady-denise.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 17, 2011. Mmmm Fall, so many great foods in season to be excited about- squashes; acorn, butternut, spaghetti, hubbard, root vegetables; beets, turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, celery root, carrots, potatoes. Things like leeks (yum) apples, pears, pomegranates, cranberries- if your summer tan is officially gone, it’s time to get working on that winter fat! How easy is that? 1/2 pound carrots, halved lengthwise. 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges. 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.

The Saucy Lady: August 2011
http://thesaucylady-denise.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 27, 2011. Seasonal Salads and Sides. It’s the end of August people! We are in the summer season home stretch, so I don’t know about you, but I’m trying to squeeze every last drop out of the summer that I possibly can! I feel like I’m not eating a tomato, I’m eating a piece of cardboard! SO, now is the time to take advantage of beautiful, ripe, juicy tomatoes, bright in flavor and color that are fragrant and taste EXACTLY how a tomato should taste! Just slice, arrange, drizzle, enjoy!
