Do you ever see a recipe online and immediately think “OMG I MUST EAT THIS RIGHT NOW. GIMME GIMME GIMME”? I feel that way a lot. Too often, really. My bookmarked recipes on FoodGawker alone is going on 20 pages long. It’s getting kind of ridiculous. So many delicious things to cook…so little time and…read more »
Apple Pie Pancakes
Breakfast is not a meal that gets eaten a lot in my house. Dan and I both wake up early for work, and neither of us has the energy, motivation or appetite to cook or eat anything so early in the morning. The only time we really have a chance to sit down and make/enjoy…read more »
Gingerbread Mug Cake (Egg-less)
[Psst…check out my new Gingerbread Mug Cake post!} On the 10th day of Christmas, I ran out of eggs. I had planned to make gingerbread whoopie pies and/or egg nog cupcakes, but the no-egg situation proved devastating to my plans. Luckily a quick Google search revealed a number of fun egg-free dessert ideas, including a…read more »
Cranberry Egg Nog
For this month’s Improv Cooking Challenge, the two key ingredients are egg nog and cranberries. I was planning to make egg nog cupcakes with a cranberry-based buttercream, but…I ran out of sugar. I know. A good food blogger never runs out of staples like sugar/butter/flour, but somehow it happened. And it was tragic. But, while I…read more »
Panettone Muffins
When I think of Christmas foods, a lot of things come to mind — sugar cookies, ham, egg nog, mulled cider, etc. But, one thing that really sticks out as being quintessentially Christmas-y is Panettone. When I was a kid, my parents would always buy a big loaf of Panettone a week or two before…read more »
Strawberry Cake
You know what blows? Unemployment. Rain. Crappy day time television. Job applications. Extreme boredom. Put those things together, let it marinate for two weeks, and you’ll have yourself a big mess of complete and utter, “get-me-out-of-this-house-before-I-kill-the-cats” stir craziness. You know what doesn’t suck, though? Light, fluffy vanilla cake stuffed with fat, juicy strawberries. A perfectly…read more »
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
(All pictures in this post were taken by Alex Hsu.) A few weeks ago, right after my Japanese-Style Strawberry Shortcake post, I got a message from my friend Alex asking if I would cook him delicious food for his birthday. He lives in Jersey City and I live in VA, so my first instinct was…read more »
Dulce de Leche
So, Dan and I just got back from a week in Costa Rica. We’re a little more tan, a little more relaxed, and approximately $1200 poorer. No, that’s not how much our trip cost…it’s the combined value of all the stuff that got stolen from us on the beach at Playa Grande, Montezuma. Yeah. Don’t…read more »
Strawberry Mille Feuille
As soon as I said I was going sit on my ass all day and do nothing, I got the urge to bake. And, of course, the more I thought about baking, the stronger the urge got, until it could no longer be resisted. Sigh. What can you do, right? Lets just chalk it up…read more »
Chicken Salad Sandwich
I secretly look forward to the days when we run out of deli turkey. Why? Because it gives me an excuse to make chicken salad. I mean, I could probably just make chicken salad whenever, but turkey goes bad so quickly that I feel like I have to eat it for lunch everyday when it’s around…read more »
