When you hear the phrase “drinking vinegar,” what comes to mind? Weird old-timey medicine? Something gross you’d drink if you were doing some sort of “cleanse”? It’...
So as some of you may know, I have but one sworn food enemy. That sweaty-tasting, eye-stinging, vile orb of slimy-yet-crunchy layers: The Onion. My dislike of onions has existed for as long as I can ...
Few things make me happier than the arrival of rhubarb season. Once I see it making an appearance at farmers’ markets and on store shelves, I know that winter really, truly is over. But even mo...
Lately, I’ve been feeling very, very lucky that I don’t experience spring allergies. This season seems to be especially hard on everyone in the Northeast, thanks to the mild winter. The b...
So unless you’ve been living under a rock as of late, you probably know that it’s grilled cheese month. And if you think I’d pass up an opportunity to get in on the cheesy madness, ...
So I really wish I could start off this post by telling you about my love of finger foods. And then give some serious props to Laura and her Chile Rellenos Casserole, which — with its two astounding ...
Spring, for me, brings craziness. Every year. Without fail. My attention span plummets to 5 minutes. I walk to the kitchen and then stand there trying to remember why I did. I drink lots more super c...
Uh, need I say more? It’s dessert. Made with booze. This thing pretty much sells itself. If ever there was a testament to my obsessive need to bring food ideas to fruition, this is it. I was ha...
Hi, I’m maple cream. A.K.A. maple butter. A.K.A. spreadable maple sugar crack. A.K.A. the cause of at least one of Carey’s high school cavities. Oh hello, maple cream. I’ve missed y...
Do you ever take a moment to ponder which of your possessions you would never, ever, ever want to live without? Say you’re starting from scratch (with basic necessities for day-to-day functioni...
Last week, I happened upon Sandee’s homemade sugar cubes. My first thought: “Whoa, adorable.” My second: “What would I do with them?” I don’t have people over for ...
Hi everyone! No food-related post today——just letting everyone know that I’m in the midst of a design overhaul (as you can clearly see). I spent the better part of the weekend basking in the gl...
The other day, my brother and I were talking about fish sandwiches. (Weird opening sentence, I know.) He informed me that the café where he works serves a sandwich called the Son of Salmon, to which ...
Ha! Look at these silly things. (They’re pretty adorable, aren’t they?) Cutsey-wootsy relationship stuff—usually not my thing. Pet names? Ick. Public affection? No way. (One of my boyfri...
Happy 2012, my friends! So, I have never been much for new year’s resolutions. I’ve made my fair share of personal resolutions, but those just kind of happen when they happen. I’ve ...
If you’re a semi-competent human being, this is probably the way that you make marshmallows. If you’re me, it goes something like this: Wait to do this until you’re at your parents&...
Congratulations to the three randomly-chosen winners of the Homemade Peppermint Patties & Cow Tales giveaway! Comment #1 | shana : “Homemade turtles. And I would *love* to win your treats!&...
This is one of those years when I wonder why I even bother to make cookies around the holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I love cookies. And I love to give people treats. The problem is my inability...
Ah, December—the month of cookies and candy! Before I roll up my sleeves and get down to serious treat-making business, I’d like to focus the other, equally-tasty part of the holidays: drinks! ...
Fact: This is one of the first dishes to spark my interest in cooking. Actually, the first first thing that set me on the path (other than my mother and all of her awesome home-cooked meals and treat...
That’s right—ravioli without cheese! You’re skeptical, aren’t you? I understand. (I ♥ cheese too.) When it comes to vegan cooking and baking, cheese substitution is one of those thi...
A couple weeks ago I mentioned the headache I get from recipes that yield leftover egg yolks, as it pits my inability to multitask against my desire to waste nothing. I’ve found ways to deal wi...
I hope everyone had a wonderful, disaster-free Thanksgiving! Our turkey turned out awesome (Alton Brown’s roasted turkey recipe never fails), I only burnt myself once, and my only mishap involv...
Super last-minute Thanksgiving idea, right here! Unless you procrastinate as much as I do, these probably won’t make it onto your Thanksgiving table on Thursday. Despite hosting again this year...
Prior to this, I had never made an apple pie. I don’t know why, but the mood just never struck me. That was until I came across these little guys on Alexandra’s Kitchen, anyway. I’m...
Do you want to know what keeps me from going on perpetual meringue benders? It’s not the thought of a rapidly expanding waist line, nor a fear of all my teeth rotting away to nothing. Oh no, no...
I finally did it. I put pumpkin in something that isn’t a cookie. Or a muffin. Or a cinnamon roll. It’s taken over a year, but can you blame me? With so many other dinner-friendly varieti...
I’d like to take a moment to talk to you about a serious addiction I had many, many years ago. Absurd amounts of money went towards supporting my habit. I would indulge at least once—and someti...
Have you ever had an idea that you wanted to work so badly, you managed to drown out all the very logical reasons it might go wrong with one single thought: Man, this is going to be awesome! Allow me...
I think it’s a widely agreed-upon fact that the typical “office-job” environment fosters terrible eating habits. The four years I spent working in an office could serve as a prime e...
