Prosciutto, Brie and Apple Panini with Scallion Butterfeatured
Todays post comes from LMS contributor Adam Carr. I was particularly excited when I came across this recipe in Food & Wine Magazine because it is from one of my favorite little gems in Providence, RI — Olga’s Cup & Saucer. As some of you know, Provi was my old stomping grounds and I have much love for all the tasty student-budget-friendly local joints. Olga’s was one of my favorites. Homey, inviting, and purveyors of delightful things like this Prosciutto, Brie and Apple Panini with Scallion Butter. Take it away, Adam…

Baguette and brie, doesn’t that sound perfect? I thought so too, but by definition you cannot improve on perfection, and Prosciutto, Brie and Apple Panini with Scallion Butter is a definite improvement on one of my favorite snacks. This sandwich is so good that if PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk took one bite she’d make an exception for cured pork and dairy products.

Project Food Blog Challenge #3: Luxury Dinner Partyfeatured
Thanks to all of you rock star readers, we’ve now made it to Project Food Blog’s Challenge #3: throw a ridiculous foodie’s paradise dinner party. Well, we all know, this girl loves a good party 🙂
After pushing my culinary boundaries with homemade Cha Siu Bao, I was inspired to keep at my quest to master the art of Dim Sum. Literally translated, “dim sum” means “touch the heart”. Poetically translated, it means “heart’s delight.” So, for my third challenge, what better way to delight the hearts of my guests than to present them with a luxurious feast of mouthwatering, bite-sized morsels of varying textures, preparations, and succulent flavors.
Going to yum cha (this is what we call going out for tea and dim sum in Chinese) is one of my favorite pastimes, so coming up with my dream menu was easy. The key to a well-balanced dim sum meal is making sure you have a mix of flavors and textures. I wanted something steamed, something baked, and something fried. And definitely shrimp and pork would be two major ingredients. I decided to build a menu consisting of 8* of my favorite classic dim sum dishes:
* 8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture, and I figured I would need all the luck I could get if I was going to pull off this epic menu!

Souffléed Strawberry Jam Omeletsfeatured
Today’s post comes from LMS contributer Adam Carr. Adam is a recent UC Berkeley graduate and social media intern living in Berkeley, California. In his perfect world, Wonka-vision would exist.

Soufflés always reminds me of that episode of… what’s that? I already did a post introduction mentioning a childhood TV show? Crap…. Alright, starting over.
A soufflé is rather daunting in nature. It’s basically dessert on steroids, since soon after it leaves the oven/gym/clubhouse it will lose its fluffiness/gained muscle/home run hitting abilities. When making Souffled Strawberry Jam Omelets, your breakfast/brunch/dessert will taste delicious, regardless of whether or not it sinks.
