Today’s Fresh Air featured journalist Michael Pollan discussing his new book “The Ominivore’s Dilemma.” In the interview, Pollan talks about the global costs involved in producing food. For example, corn — found in a number of processed foods in the form of corn syrup — is produced using an unbelievable amount of fossil fuel (meaning, […]

Baked French Toast (aka Pain Perdu Cuit Au Four*)
Garnished with a bit of powdered sugar and glazed pecans. Another recipe from Gourmet’s “Everyday Meals.” Theirs did not include cinnamon but I added it anyway – it seemed like a good idea. I used two 9-inch pie plates instead of a 13×9 baking dish (my 13×9 was on a 6 month sabbatical at a […]
Hoisin and Honey Glazed Pork Chops with Three Pea Stir-Fry
These recipes come from Gourmet’s “Everyday Meals,” a cookbook that accompanies a Gourmet subscription. I don’t usually think of myself as ditzy, yet lately, all evidence points to the contrary. There were supposed to be scallions — diagonally cut for maximum effect — with the pork chops and, although I know I put them in […]
Patate Douce Casserole Avec Peeps
Sissy William’s recipe for Sweet Potato aux Peeps sparked the idea for both this recipe and its French title* (food sounds so much better in French). I love the caramel-like sweetness baking releases in sweet potatoes, so to play that up, I added good amounts of brown sugar (3/4 cup) and butter (6 Tbsp.) to […]
BBQ Chicken Casserole
This recipe comes from the back of a package of Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. It’s listed on the site and yet, when you click on the link, it just takes you to an all-purpose recipe page. Very wonky. I’m posting it here (slightly adapted) because it’s very easy to make and very tasty to […]
Magnolia Bakery’s Famous Banana Pudding
My attempt at food styling & photography. I love potlucks, if for no other reason than they give me an excuse to try out recipes. (The massive quantities of food don’t hurt either. Of course, for every well-made Italian Wedding Soup, there’s a hot dog helper being forced down unsuspecting throats. ) For today’s lunch, […]
A Food Tour In Camera-Phone-O-Vision
Yesterday, I picked up the red Peeps exclusive to Target. While there, I took some photos before making my way to Kmart. (I went to Pier 1 as well but there was very little food to photograph.) Resting comfortably at home. At Target: the Peeps shrine. Plush Peeps: now you can play with them without […]
Peeps on the Lawn Dessert Salad
A petite Peeps serving. A plethora of Peeps. WARNING: If you don’t like your sweets super-sweet and neon-colored, don’t make this. Instead, have some melba toast and a cup of sugarless tea while looking at some other recipes. Doug over at Cooking With Peeps suggested his Peeps on the Lawn dessert salad to use up […]
