Cocoa with a Side of Spice


Posted by Cate O’Malley on A Nice Cuppa.
I am very particular about hot drinks.  More to the point, I don’t drink them.  Despise coffee and tea, but in the dead of winter, I can handle hot chocolate.  Although I do drink it through a tightly clenched straw, I can do it. 
In a recent issue of […]

Pastrami Jalapeno Appetizer


Posted by Larry Gaian on Get Your Grill On.

I just love a good Pastrami and Jalapeno Jack Cheese sandwich. And after discovering that pastrami was just a corned beef brisket smoked I set out to create the perfect homemade pastrami. I’m still searching for the perfect blend of seasonings and just the right amount of […]

Smart Carbs - Dining Out


Posted by Rachel Baumgartel on Fit Fare.

Dining out while using the principles of smart carbohydrate eating can be difficult. Breads, rice, and pasta are all readily available to accompany most meals at most restaurants. But three major things have changed since I first started watching my carb intake three years ago:

Leeks and Gruyère Soufflé, Step-By-Step


Posted by Warda Bouguettaya on Just Baking

When I was thirteen, I started writing recipes in an agenda that my father had given me. The agenda wasn’t my favorite. When I think about it, I should have chosen a prettier one, a real recipe notebook; yet I’ve decided to go with this one. A small blue […]

Big Green Egg Table


Posted by Todd M. Johns on Get Your Grill On.
I’ve been mentioning the new Big Green Egg in my posts recently, but I’ve not done a story on it yet. The weekend before Christmas, we visited a hardware store going out of business. They had a new, large Egg priced as a medium, AND 30% […]

Galaxy Smooth Dark


Posted by Rosa Li on Sugar Savvy.
When I was told that a sample Galaxy dark bar was on its way to me in the mail, I never expected the 125 g (4.4 oz) behemoth that finally arrived. It was ginormous!
The bar’s wrapper reminded me of Dove chocolates. A quick Googling revealed that Galaxy and Dove […]

Savoury Muffins with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Cottage Cheese


Posted by Mansi Desai on Just Baking.
When we think about comfort foods, we tend to give in a bit more towards chocolate or desserts, but for some of us, savoury dishes go more towards comforting our palates than sweet ones. I am one of those with a huge sweet tooth, and almost always give in […]

A Lambrusco for Wine Lovers


Posted by Alfonso Cevola on Wine Sediments.
You cannot have a better match with a plate of salumi than with this wine. Chill it up a little bit, and start your engines. From the Grasparossa grape, I took a bottle over to a chef from Emilia-Romagna the other day. He has known me for years, but has rarely if ever acknowledged […]

Bobby Flay Kitchen Products Line


Posted by Madeline Miller on Edible TV.
After recently eating at his Mesa Grill Restaurant in Las Vegas, I am officially a Bobby Flay fan. Sure, I love his cookbooks (especially Boy Gets Grill), but I have officially recognized the genius of the guy and decided if he is a little cocky, that’s just fine because […]
