Buda, a toaster oven is not necessarily the same as a toaster - mine is shaped like a tiny oven and has both toast and bake settings, I find it great for things like roasting asparagus but kind of ...
I think chilling the dough makes a big difference, the butter seems to hold the cookie together better when it is cold - when I skip the chilling step my cookies generally turn out much flatter. I ...
I remember these - we didn't have central heating when I was a kid, just one big vent in the middle of the living room. There are a lot of pictures of me and all my sisters standing in a row over i...
Any hobby is expensive when you first start, but you're not going to have to rebuild the whole thing every year! Don't judge by the first year's yield, keep trying!
Thanks so much for all the help, it looks like I've got plenty of options! The allergist specified tree nuts, as well as peanuts, soy and peas (I thought that was interesting). I do carry an Epi-pe...
I have an antique one I inherited from my father, I am scared of it but he uses it whenever he is here and we do a big roast of any kind. I swear he gets so much more meat off of a turkey than I ca...
We never buy beef and very rarely pork (bacon is the exception, and usually only if we are having somebody over for brunch). We do eat a lot of poultry, and I am trying to eat less of it but it is ...
I cook a lot and have a decent amount of counter space so the stuff that gets used most gets to live on the counter: big wood cutting board gets left out, as does the electric kettle and the big te...
Roast turkey breast with asparagus and cauliflower (also roasted) and for dessert, another of smitten kitchen's triumphs - her easy chocolate pudding (with toffee crumbles and raspberries). And a n...
I just refilled my jar of cinnamon at my local co-op from the bulk jars - it was organic, and cost me all of $0.35. It's worth checking if you have SOMEWHERE to get bulk spices, they are a screamin...
Dana, I assumed they were an English thing - my husband's mom is English so they have one and we have one and whenever we go visit the relatives in England they ALL have them. We use ours several t...
Last time I made ice cream we just made vanilla but I tossed in some crushed peppermint sticks I happened to have on hand and it made the perfect peppermint ice cream. No peppermint extract or anyt...
Mmm. After a trip to the UK I learned a. what the heck these were and b. that they are awesome. I like them roasted with just a little olive oil and garlic.
I like to make a nice frittata, it doesn't need meat to be hearty. I will often do something like zucchini and mushrooms in it with a mix of parmesan and cheddar on top.
Those on a health kick will be getting homemade granola. Those not on a health kick will be getting homemade peppermint bark (so easy to make, and have you SEEN how much it sells for at Willams Son...

How funny I was just inviting people over so I could make crepes this weekend and this popped up! We must be on the same wavelength...

Wha? That looks like a fruiting lemon tree, not one in full bloom! Still, gorgeous color!
