We've scoured the web for our favorite food blog posts, and now we're bringing them right to your desktop. It’s hard work, but someone has to do it.

While there's something to be said for a good old-fashioned chocolate chip cookie or a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, sometimes you have to shake things up in the kitchen. Pour some bourbon into butterscotch pudding; infuse almond milk with spices like saffron, cardamom, and rosewater; or top popcorn with bacon, furikake, and Corn Pops. Want more creative takes on standard dishes? Just read these links.
