Homemade Bailey's and Other Yummy St. Pat's Recipes


YUM would like to offer a little encouragement for staying warm on this blustery holiday with a recipe for DIY Bailey’s. It’s so delicious and can be tweaked by adding a little more or a little less of your favorite ingredients. You also have the option of upping the ante by using very high-quality ingredients; for example, I prefer to incorporate a gourmet chocolate syrup and a top-shelf whiskey. Either way, homemade is almost always better and in this case, it most definitely is. Enjoy!
Homemade Bailey's Irish Cream
1 cup light cream ∙ 1 can sweetened condensed milk ∙ 1 tsp instant coffee (or 1 shot of very strong espresso) ∙ 2 tbsp. chocolate syrup ∙ 1 tsp vanilla extract ∙ 1 tsp almond extract ∙ 10 oz. Irish Whiskey
Combine all ingredients in a blender and refrigerate. Mix or shake before using. Serve chilled over ice or in hot coffee or cocoa.

**Don't forget that today we'll be hanging out at the Wintermarket from about 12:30 -1:30 chatting about food in Buffalo and our region's bounty. Stop by to enjoy some of Chef Bill Metzgar's delicious samples prepared with local ingredients!

Sunday Suppers is a Buffalo Rising series that encourages readers to enjoy an evening with good friends and family, while preparing and eating a simple one-dish supper. Ingredients should include fresh produce and local food products. As my picky-eater daughter was preparing for her first year at college, I started thinking about her opportunity to start a Sunday Supper tradition in the dorm. A tasty, nutritious meal made together with roommates and friends could establish a routi …
You know how sometimes you have a conversation with someone and come away with the impression that things are good, and everything is as it should be? After I spoke with the Cichocki Brothers at Camellia Foods, a 3rd generation Polish Sausage and Ham producer in Buffalo, I came away knowing that at the center of everything they do is Family Tradition—as it should be.
The Cichocki brothers, Peter, Patrick and Eric, are at the helm of their Grandfather Edmund’s business that h …
Last month, when I asked readers to list five places they couldn’t live without, several folks mentioned Amy’s Place. A few of them specifically recommended the Margie Meal. So it was with great anticipation that I recently made my first visit to this very cool establishment. Why it took me so long to try this place, I’ll never know. Suffice to say that I’m already looking forward to my next meal there.
I liked the vibe right away when I noticed a sign on the wall that sa …

Thanks to the many of you that stopped down to the Wintermarket today. I was pleased with the number of you that turned out!
