Once again, it’s confession time at made by mike. I love a runny egg yolk. At breakfast I like to dip my toast into the yolk of an over-easy fried egg. I enjoy a piping hot bowl of pasta Carbonaro with its yolky sauce. I was very happy when I came across the recipe for…

The latest edition of Everyday Food Magazine is all about “Fast Food.” Not the drive-thru type, but the kind of great tasting food you can make at home in no time. To make things even more interesting, this was the first edition of the magazine available for the iPad. And let me tell you, the…
pasta salad with roasted broccoli – everyday food challenge
Something pretty amazing happens when you roast vegetables. I love roasting garlic, asparagus, potatoes and peppers. This was my first time roasting broccoli, and I’m a huge fan. The sweetness you get from the caramelization is a great flavor booster in this Pasta Salad with Roasted Broccoli from Everyday Food Magazine. Another one of the…

Happy Valentine’s Day. I have three presents for you today. As you know, all great things come in threes. First, this is the last recipe that will star dried cherries…for a while.

Three ingredients, fifteen minutes prep time, an amazingly great snack: the Chocolate-Cherry Cluster. From the January/February 2011 issue of Everyday Food Magazine.

lighter sesame chicken – everyday food challenge

There’s something about the sweet and savory glaze that the honey and soy sauce create. The Everyday Food magazine recipe calls for broccoli as the added vegetable. I’ve been using fresh greens and love…
penne frittata with basil and ricotta & roasted fingerling potatoes with seasoned salt
Ladies and gentlemen, my longest blog title yet. Sorry about that. Well, not really because these two recipes from Martha Stewart Living magazine are pretty great. It all started when I was at the grocery store and came across a big bag of multi-colored perfect little fingerling potatoes. There’s just something about them, that I…

And again, it’s another very simple recipe. Just five ingredients! The most complicated step was being patient as the chocolate melted and then…
chewy chocolate chunk-cherry cookies
As you are reading today’s post, I am in a car with three of my favorite people (ok, I really like you too, but there wasn’t enough room in the car for anyone else) traveling through America’s heartland from Akron, Ohio to St. Louis, Missouri. No road trip is complete with out a great selection…
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…
