Tupelo Honey: July 2009
http://tupelohoneycatering.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. It's a rather simple salad, but needs the freshest ingredients possible. The feta need to come straight from the brine and the olives can't be out of the jar; it's also worth pitting them yourself if you have the time. I have my own little mint plant, which isn't essential, but just adds to that fresh taste. The dressing is created by the watermelon juice and the lime. Nothing fancy! Watermelon, Feta and Olive Salad. 3 cups loosely packed arugula. Rind removed, cut into 1" cubes.

Tupelo Honey: September 2009
http://tupelohoneycatering.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 10, 2009. What could be better than an abundance of corn muffins . . . with jam? Using a pastry bag to make them! These little bites of heaven don't come out dry (so long as you don't over mix) and have a little burst of raspberry in the center. Which comes from that pastry bag. I usually use Polaner Raspberry Jam when I make these. Of course, you can just eat them as plain corn muffins and they're still a treat. But why would you want to do that? 3 cups all-purpose flour.

Tupelo Honey: May 2011
http://tupelohoneycatering.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 20, 2011. Farmers Market to Table. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. By Barbara Kingsolver the family has been very excited about growing and making our own food items. Obviously, we are not perfect, but we do make our effort. Not only is it ecologically responsible and what not, but it's fun. Not to mention, often times cheaper. I gave Ma a cheesemaking kit from New England Cheesemaking for Mother's Day. So, when Sister came home last weekend we made cheese! Pear and Cheddar Salad. Subscribe to: P...

Tupelo Honey: March 2011
http://tupelohoneycatering.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 7, 2011. I used Bosc Pears because those are my favorite. They also don't fall apart during baking. I also found that the pears I bought were big enough that I only really needed two. It's never tragic to have leftover pears though. I added a splash of pear brandy to the frangipane. You can make the tart shell and fill it with the frangipane the day before and refrigerate this overnight. I wish I had known that when I was making it! 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature.

Tupelo Honey: November 2009
http://tupelohoneycatering.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! In my family, nothing says holidays like pears. We always seem to find a new recipe each year. Last year was pear upside down cake. This year we're having pear butter. Now get out that food mill! Admittedly, this recipe can get a bit pricey, depending on the stock of your spice cabinet. But, you get at least a couple jars of pear butter! Makes about 4 cups. 4 pounds Bartlett pears (unpeeled), cored, cut into 1-inch chunks. 1/2 cup dry white wine.
