This is another classic candy that takes the form of a chocolate cup with a creamy marshmallow filling. I cannot help but compare it to its East Coast counterpart the Mallo cup, which is a candy I go ga-ga for, as Cup O Gold shares a few similar traits, like also having coconut bits in […]

Let’s check out the bars’ press release, shall we?
“Each bar combines whole-grain oats and roasted peanuts, with a chocolate coating on the bottom and a stripe on top.”
Compare that with what’s on the box and the bars’ wrappers: “Chewy Peanut Sweet & Salty Granola Bars.”

Notice the difference? The latter never mentions the chocolate (though it […]

Don’t you just want to dive into that? Without even hearing about it. The fluffy white cream on the top. The drizzle of maple syrup dripping down. That little piece in the front, flipped up and primed for a quick nibble. The fork at the ready. Mmmm…. It just says bite me. When it comes […]

When I first saw this box of Cheerios, I scoffed. We are living in a time when obesity is so rampant that clothing companies are beginning to cut their clothes more generously. That says something: companies are thinking that the shift in America’s weight is a permanent one. If we want to survive as a […]

A friend of mine recently moved to Chicago, and she’s feeling a little down about the transition. What makes you feel better when you’re in a new place? Care packages! So yesterday I pulled out a new recipe book that I hadn’t tried yet - Giada’s Kitchen by Giada De Laurentiis.

Ok, so astrologically Summer ended two weeks ago but I had a busy September. Besides, we’re still knocking out 90 degree days here in L.A. (Lower Alabama). The final book on my list is Michael Ruhlman’s landmark work The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute of America. Rulhman’s mission? Infiltrate the CIA.
The award-winning […]

As I write this post, I have two loaves of pumpkin bread nestled in my oven, baking at 350 degrees. Pumpkin, both canned and fresh, appears in September and usually makes a quiet exit sometime during the hullabaloo surrounding the December holidays (some people eat pumpkin pie at Christmas dinner but I’ve never heard of […]

This soup was created on one cold day in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. My Aunt Janet put together five simple ingredients and produced the most wonderful tasting soup, perfect for warming you up on a chilly fall or winter day. It’s really easy to prepare and can be modified with low fat ingredients by switching out the […]
