My friends introduced me to Lara. Well, to her bars at least. While I was getting stomach aches between classes from my Cliff bars (a personal issue, not trying to defame Cliff bars here), I never could have imagined a health bar with only natural ingredients (a personal preference, this is NOT a Lara Bar …
Chag Sameach! Happy Passover! If you’re Ashkenazi, I’m sorry that this recipe will likely make you sad. Cheer up, you can always enjoy it next week when Passover ends. If you’re Sephardic, WAHOO! You’ll LOVE this recipe while you’re missing all your leavened goodies this week. This is kind of like a two-in-one deal. The …
If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I hate breakfast. I like brunch, and I suppose I like breakfast on the weekend (which truthfully ends up being more like brunch) but getting my act together in the morning is HARD. I’m one of those people that can eat the same thing for breakfast …
So, this is basically amazing. If you’re bored of your typical vegetable side dishes, this is a really delicious dish to shake things up. You definitely won’t have any leftovers, and if you find yourself standing above the dish at 10 p.m., picking at the crisp edges stuck to the pan, your fingers dripping in …
Note to self: Cooking with butter is WAY better than cooking without butter. This is probably the best thing I have ever made. And this is one of the most delicious vegetarian dishes I have ever eaten. Anywhere. Make this THIS week. Or NOW. And it’s remarkably easy to put together for how good it …
I’ve been waiting till I thought you could think about food again. I hope you all had delicious Thanksgivings, ate over 3000 calories, and were shocked when you woke up hungry. This was one of the appetizers that I brought to our Thanksgiving dinner, and although not so much pull-apart ish as the first loaf …
Shame on me. I’ve been a little tardy with my posting this week. As an apology, I’m posting two recipes that I’m calling “cheaters,” because you can put them together in NO time and together they almost amount to the time of making one meal. Chocolate bark is, like, the easiest thing ever. You can’t …
If I think it’s yummy, please don’t call it yucky. I know I’m sounding childish right now, but there’s something about the topic of brussels sprouts that just makes me wanna throw a tantrum and suck my thumb. You know that question philosophy professors always ask, “If a tree falls in a forest and no …
Okay, so last week was the “sophisticated chicken nugget,” and this week is, I guess, the sophisticated latke, made with chickpea flour, parsley, feta cheese, red onion and sumac. I found this recipe on Mark Bittman’s “The Minimalist,” and he calls it a “tortillita”—a Spanish pancake that he cooks with different fishes. Being deathly …
Friday after Friday after Friday, I became used to a consistent routine: an hour at the market, a few hours for the challah, a few more hours for cooking & setting up Shabbat dinner followed by 25 minutes of scarfing down food. Great. Done. See you guys next week. Adam cleans up. A couple of …
