pomegranate-glazed chicken – everyday food challenge
About a month or so ago, I received an email from POM Wonderful, asking if I’d like to sample their 100% pomegranate juice.

5 days of sweets – pumpkin doughnut muffins
Sugar and spice and everything nice. That’s one way to describe these doughnuts disguised as muffins disguised again as doughnuts. I don’t think there’s a better way to end 5 Days of Sweets than with a baked treat bathed in butter then rolled in cinnamon sugar. So there you have it, the Pumpkin Doughnut Muffin…

slow-cooker bacon jam – everyday food challenge
I have an important introduction to make. That, up there in the photo, is slow-cooker bacon jam. Intrigued? I was. You see, I love all things bacon. Well except for canadian bacon, that’s just ham with really good public relations. The newest edition of Everyday Food, on news stands now, devotes an entire section to…

sweet & spicy almonds – everyday food challenge bonus recipe
One of the things that I look forward to at the end of each week is a simple twitter message from Everyday Food Magazine called “Cocktail O’Clock.” It features a link to a special libation-of-the-week. And one of these weeks I may actually make one instead of just salivating at the photo. Last week’s feature,…
