What do you do when a neighbor kindly gifts you a 3 pound zucchini? You make zucchini bread. Lots of zucchini bread. And if you’re me, where is the first place you look for a zucchini bread recipe? Smitten Kitchen, of course.

Waste Management

Buying items just because they are on sale is only a bargain if you use them. Otherwise they’re a huge waste of money. Impulse grocery shopping usually comes back and bites me in the butt. My most recent example? Those cherries on sale at The Fresh Market were a great price. I was expecting cherries [...]

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Not only is that some commercial tag line, it’s also the God’s honest truth. Sometimes, bad first impressions can’t be overcome. Other times, if you look past them, you find that you were totally wrong. Like that time in middle school when both Kristen [...]
On Call

The moment I picked those berries, the clock started ticking. One reason the strawberries you buy at the grocery store taste so blah is because they’ve been in suspended animation. They get cold stored which prolongs their shelf life. Fresh picked berries, however, have essentially been removed from their life support system. The morning after [...]
Berry Good

The notion of eating fresh relies heavily on eating what’s in season. Those strawberries you see at the market in the dead of winter…not so much in season. But the ones I just picked at Baugher’s Farm? Most definitely so.
What do you think a strawberry is supposed to taste like? After eating so [...]

What’s that? You say that you want more chocolate?
If that Chocolate Souffle didn’t satisfy your dark cravings, try this Molten Chocolate Magic. Personally, I’m looking for an excuse to make this. Does Saturday count as a special occasion?

The ultimate Hallmark Holiday is nearly upon us. Why not whip up a little happiness courtesy of The Minimalist’s Chocolate Souffle? The souffle doesn’t care if you are alone on Valentine’s Day and savoring its chocolaty goodness all by yourself or if you’re sharing it with someone special. C’mon, desserts don’t discriminate. Remember the black [...]
Sugar and Spice Part Deux
Posted in Cooking, Food, Smitten Kitchen, Sweets, tagged Smitten Kitchen, Spiced Nuts on 12 January 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The holiday season finds many of us making the same things. And I’m always interested to see a different approach to a recipe that I’ve coaxed out of my kitchen. Like those Spiced Nuts I made before Christmas.
They had all been packaged and shipped and I’d already moved on to the next recipe on my [...]
Sugar and Spice
Posted in Cooking, Food, Photo, Recipe, Sweets, tagged Emeril Lagasse, Food Network, Spiced Nuts on 4 December 2008 | 1 Comment »
Sugar and spice…quick, what’s the first thing you think of? Cinnamon sugar, perhaps? There’s nothing wrong with cinnamon sugar but sometimes I think it’s more interesting to pair up flavors that don’t usually get to hang out together. Like cayenne pepper and brown sugar. And cumin. And paprika. And chipotle.
