Is it just me, or do desserts in Japanese anime/manga always look amazing? Whether it’s cake, pie or ice cream, everything is always so sparkly and elaborate, surprisingly realistic-looking, and just positively oozing with goodness. My stomach pretty much growls constantly when I’m reading food/dessert-themed manga. I’m a nerd, I know. Anyway. I’d always assumed…read more »
Peanut Butter Cup Bars
A lot of people love chocolate and peanut butter, but my friend Emily really loves it. Like, “possibly bordering on an unhealthy addiction” kind of love. She actually refers to Reese’s peanut butter cups as “crack,” and goes out of her way to avoid the stuff because if there’s any of it around the house, she’ll keep eating…read more »
Hanbagu (Japanese Hamburger Steak)
So, my friend Spike and I have been having intense gchat conversations about what we can do with all the ground beef we’ve got on our hands. We each saw family-sized packs of ground beef on sale at the grocery store a couple weeks ago and couldn’t resist getting in on the deal. Seemed like…read more »
Classic Lemonade
Man, it was hot today! The weatherman predicted thunderstorms all week, but there was nary a raindrop or storm cloud in sight. By the time I got home it was 88 and sunny. And just a little muggy, ‘cuz you know, it’s summer in Virginia. Basically, it was the perfect day for an icy cold pitcher of…read more »
Turtle Cheesecake Truffles
I meant to make these for Dan’s mom on Mother’s Day, since turtle chocolate is one of her favorite candy treats. But, things got busy and I didn’t have time to whip up a batch of truffles before our trip to Boston last weekend. I ended up buying her some Godiva chocolates, but I really…read more »
Baked Taquitos al Pastor
There is so much al pastor in my fridge right now, I almost don’t know what to do with it. Almost. I’m toying with the idea of combining it in some form with kimchi, but I haven’t quite decided which direction to go with that yet. For now, I’ll have to settle for taquitos. Why…read more »
Egg Salad Sandwich
When I was a kid, my grandmother made me eat a hard boiled egg for breakfast every morning. Every. Single. Morning. She’d get up, boil the egg, get me ready for school, and then feed it to me as we walked to the local day care center. The egg was never seasoned in any way…read more »
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Dan thinks I’m crazy because, sometimes, I get overwhelmed by an intense desire to bake cookies at 10:30pm on a Sunday. “You didn’t feel like cooking dinner just a few hours ago,” he says in puzzlement, “So why the hell are you suddenly in the mood to bake cookies? We’re going to bed in an…read more »
Kale and Lemon-Pepper Chicken Pizza
(I got a new camera! Can you tell?) Both the Pioneer Woman and the Crumbly Cookie assured me that their favorite pizza dough is at its best the longer it’s kept in the fridge, so I took their advice and let the second half of my dough chill for a few days. I didn’t have…read more »
Homemade Pasta with Mushroom Cream Sauce
I’ve been on kind of a cook/bake/serve-ware binge lately. In the last 3 weeks I’ve purchased a set of 12 stemless wine glasses, a matching 90oz pitcher, a crust cutter, a cupcake corer (you know, for all those cupcakes that need stuffing), and a pasta machine. The wine glasses/pitcher haven’t arrived yet, the pasta machine…read more »
