Today was supposed to be an Everyday Food Challenge post. The one about the potato and ham bake. But you know, sometimes cravings just get in the way. There are few sweet treats that I love more than chocolate covered pretzels and good old-fashioned Rice Crispy Treats. How’s about if I combined them into one…

my top ten posts of 2010
It’s been quite a year. A little exposure over at marthastewart.com, and things really took off. I thought that I’d recap the last year with a summary of my top ten visited posts. Click on the links to be taken back to the original posts. I can’t thank you enough for taking a few minutes…
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. At the same time I remembered that Everyday Food magazine had featured this amazing juice back in its December 2006 issue in the “Have You Tried?” section. That’s were I found the…
white chocolate snowflakes
And here we are, the final few days before Christmas. I don’t know about you, but the list of things that I need to do keeps getting longer. These are times when a quick and simple recipe is really important. I ran across this three-ingredient holiday treat on Food52.com. My dear friends, may I introduce…
chocolate peppermint cookies
Oh the snow…the weather around these here parts has been pretty frightful the last couple of days. On Sunday, I decided it would be best to use my shut-in time to bake some cookies for the holidays. I made dad’s ginger cookies that I wrote about previously. I also baked white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies…
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…
5 days of sweets – mint-chocolate brownies
Day 4 of 5 Days of Sweets. I’m thinking that when this series is over I’m going to need to delve into 12 Days of Savories. We’re in sugar over-drive here on Made by Mike. Today, I present you with Everyday Food magazine’s Mint-Chocolate Brownie. It’s a winner. Earlier this week I rushed home from…

Welcome to my 5 Days of Sweets. Also known as, How Mike Will Gain Another 10 Pounds. For the next five days I’ll feature a dessert or cookie that would be just fantastic to serve around the upcoming holidays. To kick it off, we begin with the Chocolate Mousse Tart with Hazelnuts from Everyday Food…
cranberry velvet fluff
First, let’s start with what this isn’t. It’s not fancy or elegant. In fact, it’s way more Sandra Lee than Martha or Ina. And you know what? That’s ok once in a while. What this is is Cranberry Velvet Fluff. After reading local food writer, Jane Snow’s new cookbook, I found that this dish is…
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…
