Sometimes you take a risk on a cookbook and it really pays off. I had seen bloggers around the internet talking about Aida Mollenkamp’s Keys to the Kitchen, but beyond that I knew nothing about her or the book. I was buying books at The Good Cook (where I might as well be an investor…
Salted Browned Butter Honey and Oat Cookies
When I was growing up, my grandparents lived within easy driving distance of my home. My maternal grandpa and grandma, whom I have written about here before, lived 45 minutes away in the country. My dad’s parents lived around the outer belt in a different suburb of Columbus. I was very close to both of my grandmothers,…
Cream Cheese Chocolate Cookies
I have a fantastic cookie to share with you this week. It’s simple, not too sweet, not too rich and downright addictive. Frankly I am beginning to think anything Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito (of Baked Bakery fame) come up with is delicious and addictive. Goodness knows their cookbooks as a whole are!
Bundh Gobhi, Palak aur Laal Aalu (Stir Fried Cabbage with Spinach and Baby Potatoes): Review of 1,000 Indian Recipes
As most of you know, I have a definite preference for one pot meals. I would not say I am incapable of multi-tasking, but when it comes to making dinner I like to avoid it when possible. Because we love homey, rustic cooking like stews, curries and casseroles, I am often able to convert my…
Mixed Greens with Apples, Dates and Gorgonzola: OXO Salad Dressing Shaker Review
I cannot remember the last time I was so excited over a relatively small, uni-tasking kitchen gadget. OXO contacted me all the way back in the spring about receiving one of their new Salad Dressing Shakers, to review and give away as part of their Blogger Outreach Program, but there was a snafu somewhere in…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sandwich Cookies: The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook
I don’t think of myself as a particularly spacey. Yet the older I get, the spacier I get. Just this week I showed up at the wrong time for my daughter’s hair cut. Apparently I had it confused it with my hair appointment 2 days later. Sigh. Can I blame being a mom?
Lemon Basil Bundt Cake
John and I were squabbling the other day, a run of the mill dumb fight–the kind we do have in front of the kids because I think it is healthier for them to see us fight and make up than always get along perfectly.
Sun-Dried Tomato and Mushroom Bean Stew
I was mourning our nice weather, because I had just acquired Crescent Dragonwagon’s Bean By Bean: A Cookbook: More than 175 Recipes for Fresh Beans, Dried Beans, Cool Beans, Hot Beans, Savory Beans, Even Sweet Beans! and felt like nothing in it was weather appropriate. It is not yet fresh bean season,but it was unseasonably…
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Wacky Cake and A Review of Piece of Cake!
Full disclosure: my mom does not make cake from scratch; I did not grow up in a family where cakes were baked, aside from the occasional boxed mix. My maternal grandma did, but my mother never. Even pancakes, waffles and shortcakes are made with Bisquick. Now this is the same woman who, as far as…
