Food Combinations 062413

This is the weekly food combinations segment for our blog. Every week I will reveal one combination that I find tasty. It is a combination that is delicious by itself as a snack but will also make a recipe one of your favorites. This segment is now on Mondays.

The combo this week are cheddar cheese and tomatoes. Cheddar cheese is my favorite of all the cheeses and mild is fine most of the time. The tomato is so versatile and is a healthy stable to have on hand. There is something very satisfying of taking a bite of tomato with cheddar cheese on it. They both retain their flavor whether they are cooked or raw. 

One recipe which marries the two together brilliantly are Cheddar-Baked Tomatoes. One delicious recipe can be found at grandmaskitchen.com:

The combo this week are milk chocolate and butterscotch. These two go back to my childhood as two of my favorites. For years they tried to battle it out to which was my favorite. Then I figured why choose when they both can join forces to delight me together. It is sweet tooth heaven.Two distinct flavors that are all that much better together. The simplest way to enjoy the two are just to sit with a bag of chips of each and start tossing a few of each in to make the taste buds happy.

Taking the chips to the next step in a cookie is the logical leap. One fun cookie which is at bakerella.com is the Triple Chip Cookie:

The two joining forces this week are the peanut and raisins. Often the base of a good granola mix these two are fine together. They give the traditional sweet and salty one-two punch although I prefer my peanuts roasted and unsalted. There is also the crunch factor countered by the soft raisin. Plus they are good for you.

Both can also be found in most broccoli salad recipes. Below you will find a Broccoli Salad recipe at cooks.com:

The food combo this week is avocado and red onions. I like onions and the top of that list are the red. Avocado does a great job taming the natural bite of the onion. They go well together on a burger, taco  or a salad.

They also go well with chicken. Here is a recipe for Pan Grilled Chicken with Avocado and Red Onion Salsa at food.com:
