Pecan Toffee Popcorn.
Sorry for the delay, but the weather here over the past week in Chicago has really put a cramp in my cooking and baking. It’s just too nice to stay inside and do either. The past couple days have been a lovely blur of seltzer water, iced drinks and freezes, and slurpees. Things you can savor [...]

Everybody should love to ski, even betches. If you don’t love skiing because of the actual sport, the downhill rush, the swish as you cut through powder, wiping out because oops! skiing backwards is not as easy as it looks, then you should love skiing because of everything else that comes with. Après ski for [...]

Goat Cheese Brownies.
There are some truly irresistible combinations, pairs that are stronger than the sum of their parts. These pair are replicated both in actually life amongst people, communities, and organizations. But, more relevant to this blog and as such a little bit less serious, perfect partnerships happen frequently in food. And if you live in the [...]

Georgetown (Baked and Wired).
If last week’s testimony to Georgetown coffee shop and bakery Baked and Wired didn’t convince you to visit, if the idea of banana cupcakes topped with peanut butter frosting and chocolate drizzle somehow didn’t justify a leisurely stroll, Metro ride, drive, train trip, plane flight, sail…let me try again. Yes, it may takes upwards of [...]

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 [...]
