A cookie, and a heck of a lot easier to make than a homemade pop-tart. Each issue of Everyday Food magazine ends with a cookie recipe. This month features the Mexican Hot-Chocolate Cookie. A simple chocolate batter that’s formed into balls then rolled in a bowl of sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of chili powder….

don’t try this at home: pop-tart edition
So, I’m flipping through my new issue of Bon Appetit magazine this week and I come across a recipe that I had to make. Homemade “Pop-tarts”. I love a good pop-tart. A cherry iced pop-tart ranks right up there with a really great steak, in my book. Ok, maybe not that high, but I do…
sure sign of spring & something green
I found the healthiest and heartiest looking asparagus at the grocery yesterday. A sure sign that winter’s on its way out and spring is arriving.
more granola…this time in bar form
It’s certainly no secret that I’ve been on a bit of a granola kick of late. A couple of weeks ago, the wonderful cooking blog Smitten Kitchen featured a chewy granola bar recipe. Yes, please. Yesterday after we got back from our day in Cleveland, I went right to work. The foundation of the recipe is…
happy birthday Greg

It’s nice that they’re right next to each other on the Tallmadge Circle. We’re heading up to Lakewood later today for lunch at Melt. It’s one of Greg’s favorite places to eat…

The cupcakes have the zest from oranges, lemons and limes in the batter. I divided the glaze in three dishes and made one for each citrus. And I have to…
candy making
I’ve had one of the best weekends ever. A weekend where we had no obligations. Just had two days of do-whatever-we-want. Yesterday, I made homemade chicken noodle soup. Today, I made a new granola recipe. It was ok. Not as good as my favorite, the maple-nut granola. Also today, I ventured into candy making. Last…
soup’s on the way
My first attempt at homemade chicken noodle soup. It’s all packed up and ready to be delivered to a dear friend that’s under the weather this weekend.
the list: an update
I thought that it might be a good time for a “list” update. In the last couple of weeks I finished two more items. I made Ina Garten’s Lemon Chicken with Croutons and I read an entire book in a day. The chicken was great and the book was short. Just eighty pages. But hey,…
