I recently discovered Christina Tosi and her #bakingclub on instagram. If you like to bake and aren’t following her yet, you are seriously missing out. Tosi is the creator of Milk Bar and pastry chef of Momofuko. She is best known for her famed “crack pie” and compost cookies, and her birthday cake truffles have reached cult status. If you haven’t tried compost cookies, I have a similar compost cookie…
It’s pretty clear that we love pimento cheese around here. I mean this is the second pimento cheese recipe I have posted in less than a year. Pimento cheese is a staple in most southern households and growing up, you usually could find pimento cheese or chicken salad in the fridge at my house. But I never really was a fan of pimento cheese until after I was pregnant. It…
Thanks to my friend Jill, your search for the best cookie on the planet can now end. This is the perfect cookie for the person that can’t decide on peanut butter vs. chocolate vs. oatmeal. NOW, you don’t have to! We didn’t even stop at one kind of chocolate chip because that would be way too boring. These treats have six, yes six kinds of chips. Butterscotch (trust me), white chocolate, dark chocolate, semisweet…
Whenever I am looking for a delicious dish, I always turn to Ina. Seriously, every single dish that I have tried of hers is always pretty amazing. I am so confident in the deliciousness of her food that I have actually made Ina recipes that I have never even tried before and served them to company. Isn’t that the number one rule for entertaining: NEVER serve something that you have not…
Well last week just wasn’t my week. On Tuesday, the AC died. Yep. The joys of home ownership. So while the repair people were quick to tell us that we needed an entirely new air conditioning system, they couldn’t replace the unit for an entire week. That’s right. No AC with a forecast in the mid-eighties (and one in the low nineties) for the next seven days. I know, I know. It could…
You should probably make this now. Why? Because it is delicious, obviously. Plus, it pleases both the man and the woman. It is healthy, but it tastes decadent. It is packed with all the flavors of chili then tossed with quinoa and baked with a little bit of cheese. The perfect comfort food. Yes, I went there. And if that wasn’t convincing enough, Andrew the H declared (and this is…
We’re making candy, y’all! Listen, I am not going to lie and pretend that making caramel is easy. Or that I didn’t accidentally burn the first batch. And that it wasn’t rock hard. I guess this is what optimists call brittle. Anyway, I love a good cooking challenge and had yet to cross candy off the list. So a little burnt caramel wasn’t going to deter me. The good news…
Happy New Year! We have all been struggling with a pretty serious cold at our house. First, Grace started feeling sick. On New Years Eve, after throwing up a few too many times, I took her to the doctor to find out that she had a bad cold that had settled in her chest and she had two ear infections. As soon as we left the parking lot, I started to…
