There’s something about trashy and low-end that’s appealing. Especially when it comes to good. Curly fries anyone? So one of the more interesting food trends of the first decade of the new millennium—as I get closer and closer to two decades old, using all-encompassing time periods becomes more appealing—is the high/low-end mixture of food. And [...]

Lemon Pucker.
One of the best Christmas presents of the year was, of course, not necessarily one of my own. Not to be ungrateful or trite, it’s just honestly hard to beat the over three hundred glossy—oh so glossy—wide and satisfying pages in Thomas Keller’s newest book Ad Hoc. For anyone even vaguely interested in food, so [...]

Rainbow Cookies.
This post is being written in secret. It wouldn’t have to be a stealth mission, but something bad happened. Something really awful has struck this kitchen in these times of holiday glow and glory. All the Rainbow Cookies are gone. For the holidays we’ve gone east, to that big noisy place that sometimes goes as [...]

Peanut Butter Caramel Brownies.
Sorry for the delay, but I’ve been away from the oven for a while. School and such, you know, it’s a little time consuming. During my little break from baking and cooking, I began to experience what I think may be signs of addiction. After a couple days I began to have vivid and slightly [...]

Lemon Bars.
There are very few desserts I like that do not contain chocolate. When I eat vanilla cake with some kind of pale, lackluster frosting I immediately think ‘oh! This would be sooo much better with a little sixty-two percent bittersweet.’ White chocolate macadamia nut cookies? Man, would they be more delicious if there was a [...]

Someone once told me that ‘the almond is the Cadillac of all nuts.’ Out of context, yes, it makes absolutely no sense that an almond is the nutty equivalent of a Caddie. But as a well behaved little food blogger—schooled in the house of proper explanation etiquette—most if not all the goodies come with a [...]

Peanut Butter Krispie Bars.
“They’re magic,” said my sister after her afternoon Peanut Butter Krispie Bar, possibly the first of a few afternoon-bars. My reaction was similar after first tasting one of these chocolate and peanut butter topped caramel rice krispie miracles from a neighborhood bakery near my school in Evanston, IL. One bite into a three-by-four-inch bar, my [...]

Handpies.
If there were a most perfect food, it would be some form of finger food. In all aspects, finger food is perfect. While with silverware one avoids a little mess here like stained fingers and surprise stains found later long after that laundry detergent or aggressive super bleach can do anything about it, and maybe [...]

Oh Almond.
First there were marzipan chocolates. Then there were Seven-Layer Rainbow Cookies and frangipane tarts. But now, now there are Almond Butter Bars. The faint lingering of almond delight left behind by the others pale in comparison to the inch and a half stack, unadulterated pure goodness of these bars. What’s that, you like those others? [...]
