Had oatmeal this morning! The quick-cooking version of McCann's Irish oats is really good and easy, 5 minutes or less. I like it pretty runny so it doesn't get gluey when it cools, so I do a slight...
That's exactly what we had for dinner last night! We sometimes have this as a "light" dinner before making what we really want for dinner--a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. :)
I'm ashamed to say I didn't know aluminum foil was recyclable... Does anyone know if it's accepted in NYC recycling? Like can we put it in the same bag as the metal cans, plastics, and glass?
Is adding cheese to the top NOT traditional? My Irish husband would be very disappointed if the cheese were left out... (Not that we go all traditional--I like to top mine with a mix of regular and...
The thing about French toast, and the reason I don't make it more often, is that it works best when the bread is stale. Which means I have to plan ahead time to buy the right kind of bread (prefera...
Oh, I love polenta SO much. Don't make it nearly often enough because my husband isn't crazy about it...but that photo looks amazing. I will definitely be trying this dish next time he's out of tow...
Flat-leaf parsley is my go-to, goes-in-everything herb. Mainly because it keeps so well, so I always have a bunch in the refrigerator. Plus, because it's not too bold it just seems to go with every...
I'm with kimmyt--possibly my single favorite kitchen item is my magnetic measuring spoon set. LOVE them. Highly recommend. (Although recently, when I thought I'd lost the Tbsp. and wanted to buy a ...
Yum. I scarf down deviled eggs at parties/BBQs, don't know why I never think to make them at home. Probably because I don't usually have mayo in the house--but I think this will inspire me to buy a...
In the wintertime when there's no good fruit in season, I make smoothies in the blender with frozen bananas, peanut butter, milk, and a squirt of chocolate syrup. I've always been amazed at how the...
This sounds great, I'm always looking for more blueberry recipes this time of year. Will wait to hear on the butter/oil question though... I would probably also add lemon zest, which I think always...
Oh, oh, and the Chocolate Room! There are two now: One in Park Slope on 5th Ave. near Bergen, and one in Cobble Hill on Court St. near...can't remember the cross street, but next to the movie theat...

Oh, excellent! Just bought an acorn squash for the firs time at the farmers market yesterday and was wondering what to do with it. Dinner tomorrow!
Ooooh, I haven't made these in years. Now I know what's for brunch this weekend!

You know, I really really hate waste, esp. with food. I do my best to avoid it. But life is too short to eat something that just tastes icky.
When I was a kid I wanted nothing more than to discover trapdoors and secret passageways in my house. I would have *died* for this...
