It's been pretty cold in Denver for the last month or so, and when it's this cold I always think about roasting things. Chicken has been my food of choice recently, and this recipe makes a good roast chicken - flavorful and moist but not overly flavored, so you can either eat it as is, or use ...
Yep, we're going to need all the happy thoughts and support to get through the next four days. Mike and I are going to follow Whole Living's Whole Body Action Plan over the next month but, I figure once the four day detox is over, we're home free. No gloriously steaming cup of coffee to help ...
I have a big weakness for anything made with puff pastry. I'm not even sure the word weakness is strong enough, I really love the stuff. I also love appetizers/hors d'oeuvres, so this recipe is a favorite of mine. I made these on new year's eve to tide us over until dinner was done and they ...
Back before sushi was a household term, this was my only savior at the sushi bar (well that and salmon kama, another story). On a weekly basis, my parents had to drag me to the sushi bar for their craving fix. They were addicted, I was repulsed. Their sushi chef of choice ran a tight ship and ...
My Dad is not typically the baker in the family, but he made some interesting cookies the other day so I invited him to blog about them. - Laura

The other day I was intrigued when Emeril Lagasse prepared snickerdoodles with cayenne pepper on Good Morning ...
I had high hopes for this breakfast. Mike is so obsessed with eggs and I'm so not, it's tough to come up with new egg based breakfasts that we both like. Personally, give me a cranberry walnut muffin and a mug of steaming, milky coffee and I'm in heaven. But nutritionally at least, Mike's way ...
Firstly, this recipe is delicious and also cursed, at least when it comes to a decent picture for me to post. I've actually made it twice (which was fine by us, it's delicious) after reading about it on Pioneer Woman. Both times I added a few drops of sesame oil to the marinade, a sprinkle of ...
OK, last pumpkin post for the fall, I promise! I couldn't resist posting this because it was so tasty and fun. I got the recipe/inspiration from Dorie Greenspan's blog and modified it to fit what I had in the pantry at the time. This made a great side dish to a hearty chicken stew and is so ...
For anyone who hasn't heard of the no-knead bread, basically the idea is that by using less yeast, making the dough wetter, and letting it rise for up to 24 hours, the yeast does the work regularly done by kneading, which is breaking down the gluten and reorganizing it to make a nice bread dough. ...
That is the question these days, isn't it? I remember in my childhood, picking out a turkey was a relatively easy decision...based entirely on poundage. This was a crucial decision, don't get me wrong. You needed enough turkey to ensure that everyone could overdose on L-Tryptophan and still ...
