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 ...
I suppose this would be a far more impressive post had I made the hummus or the pita from scratch. But, well...I didn't. HOWEVER, I did cut up lots of veggies and toss the greens with sea salt, lemon juice and olive oil. So that's almost like making something from scratch, right? Right! And I ...
This salad is a direct imitation of a tasty salad we had in Princeton, minus the roasted red peppers (blgh!). Super easy to make and pretty healthy to boot. Mike and I are completely addicted to heart of palm and salmon so this is our dream salad, hope you enjoy it as ...
