Today we are going to have a little conversation. A Kitchen Conversation. Last month I had the opportunity to sit in on a webinar hosted by Land O’Lakes. This Kitchen Conversation  featured a panel of bloggers talking about trends in food and how they are incorporating them into their cooking and was hosted by the lovely Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman. Some of these trends included:

  • Comfort Food Gone Global
  • Creative Popcorn Snacks
  • Cauliflower (it’s the new asparagus)
  • Playing With Ancient Grains

Kitchen Conversations

Are you currently working with any of these trends? I’m calling roasted red peppers one of the trends that I’m using in my cooking. I love them in almost any dish and they add such a unique flavor.  Using the Land O’Lakes Half Sticks with Olive Oil & Sea Salt I managed to craft a delicious pasta dish. I melted 1 Half Stick in a saucepan and sautéed some garlic, onion and roasted red pepper. I then tossed in some campanelle pasta and fresh basil and served this with a delicious grilled chicken breast. Easy peasy!
