Before Shane and I got engaged and I moved Upstate, I used to eat Chinese take-out at least twice a month, sometimes more. It was cheap, it was flavorful, it was everywhere. But Shane isn’t a big fan of Chinese food, and I haven’t found any Chinese restaurants I really like, so now I eat […]

KJ’s Honeycomb Candy for Taste & Create
From left to right: honeycomb clusters, plain honeycomb candy, chocolate-covered honeycomb candy. Taste & Create is a wonderful event where food bloggers are paired up and asked to choose a recipe from their partner’s blog, cook/bake it up, and post the results. The only problem occurs if one partner totally drops the ball, doesn’t see […]
All-in-the-Pan Chewy Chocolate cake with Chocolate Butter icing
Another day, another cake but from the same cookbook: In the Sweet Kitchen by Reagan Daley . Last week, we were invited to a “Thanksgiving dinner in February” at Carolyn’s house. She provided the turkey (21 lbs!), mashed potatoes, mashed turnips, stuffing and gravy and all I needed to bring was dessert. Given that there […]
Carmelized Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
To be honest, I was initially disappointed with this cake. The day I made it — Valentines’ Day, a Thursday — the topping struck me as too bitter, despite all the caramel encapsulating the pineapple. But by Saturday, the bitterness had given way to a gentle tartness, pairing well with the dense and lovely vanilla-flavored […]
Baked Spaghetti Romanoff
I am so sick of winter. I’m tired of the snow. I’m tired of being cold. I’m tired of it getting dark before dinner time. And just when I thought that we were out of the woods (“Hey! There are buds on those trees!”), we get hit with a snow storm. The only thing to […]
Honey-Roasted Lamb with Fresh Arugula
Here I am, finally posting about our Valentines Day dinner. We (well, me) decided to stay in as we’ve had bad luck with restaurants lately, with our spending a lot of money on less-than-spectacular dishes. So, I figured that we could save some money by cooking at home, and still have a great meal. I […]
Something Exciting …
If you’re lucky enough, you have an Edible publication covering the area in which you live. And now I’M pretty lucky, because Edible Finger Lakes will launching in April, celebrat[ing] the abundance of local foods in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.” But then, I’m biased because I’m writing an article for their […]
Chicken Tikka Masala
Photo courtesy of CooksIllustrated.com I really love chicken tikka masala, mainly because my favorite Indian restaurant, Thali of Inda, makes it so well. (But all of their food is amazing — mmmm.) Admittedly, this version from Cook’s Illustrated is not as divine as Thali’s. But it’s still delicious, and I’m thrilled to have found a […]
Happy Valentines Day
Moist, chewy brownies can be made – and eaten – without throwing one’s healthy diet under an oncoming bus. I made the recipe two ways – first using dutch processed cocoa, and then with traditional baking cocoa. The traditional cocoa yielded a reddish brownie with a detectable coffee flavor, while the dutch-processed turned out a […]
