Wacky cupcake. I made this recipe sometime last week and, clearly, was so unimpressed with it that it took me this long to post about it. (And then, only do a cursory review.) Cake Pros:Ridiculously easy to makeVeganEasily adaptable (I threw in mini chocolate chips and replaced the water with strong brewed coffee Silly Name […]

Cookbook Spotlight #3 — Old Fashion Apple Cake
About a month ago, I was thrilled to get an invitation from Breadchick and Sara inviting me to participate in Cookbook Spotlight #3. After Breadchick posted a recipe from Ships of the Great Lakes Cookbooks: Discover Their Culinary Legends for Weekend Cookbook Challenge #13, the book’s publisher, Paula McKenna, contacted her and asked to be […]
Weekend Cookbook Challenge #14 Submission: Midinette
Of all cookbooks I have, a plain, black binder from Peter Kump’s Cooking School is my favorite. It’s stuffed with class recipes, and its pages retain scribbled notes, oil splashes, and traces of ancient flour. Though it’s an amazing book, it usually lies untouched on the bookshelf. When I think of its recipes, I remember […]

Bittman’s Quick Bread
The last time Mark Bittman published a bread recipe, there was a largely positive response from the food blogging community. So, when a new recipe for whole wheat and molasses quick bread appeared in the NYT yesterday, I thought I’d take a crack at it. Unlike most quick breads, this is a savory loaf. Extolling […]
One Year Old
In the beginning, there were cupcakes. And they were good. It’s hard for me to believe, but this blog was started a year ago today. I’m going to try and get a new recipe up today but, until I do, I just wanted to express how grateful I am to the people who visit and […]
5 Things About Me meme
The lovely and inventive Rachel of Coconut & Lime, Food Maven, and Cupcake Supernova tagged me for a 5 Things About Me meme, and being a blogger, I am only too happy to divulge. #1. I have an MA in Media Ecology (New York University) and a BA in Communication Arts (Marymount Manhattan College). This […]
Chicken, Corn & Black Bean Stew
This is an adapted Everyday Food recipe and, I must say, it’s a very nice winter meal that comes together fairly quickly. (It’s also the first recipe I cooked using my new toy — a non-enameled Chefmate Dutch Oven. Only $25!) The recipe calls for lima beans (yeeccch) and Worcestershire sauce (none in the house) […]
Dark Chocolate Chunk Banana Cake
This is a community recipe from the WW recipe board (“From the kitchen of JOANNA_K”) and is one of the few that doesn’t use margarine, cool whip, or instant sugar free pudding. (Margarine, cool whip, or instant sugar free pudding: sounds like a Sandra Lee recipe, doesn’t it?) The only problem was that the recipe […]
