I agree with all the responses, turn your temperature down! I use Calphalon One hard anodized pans most often and have never gone above a 7 (out of 10) on our range to reach smoking, ...

I love sweet potatoes in all forms, simply baked with butter and salt, or with brown sugar and topped with nuts, or marshmallows. (I love a salty, sweet combo, that's why "we American's massacre" o...

If only we had tomatoes to look at! Our plants aren't producing nearly as much as they were this time last year, and tomatoes are yet to be found in our farmer's market. It's got me in a tomato dep...

That is fantastic. I actually think weighing my ingredients saves time because you can just scoop right from the containers into the bowl on the scale, no need for dipping and sweepin...

I don't always grate the cheese, sometimes those American cheese slices are the way to go, but I definitely butter the bread. I am always reminded of my surgery/bedbound times when my ...

Another one for mayo based salads with pickle juice. My secret ingredient is Tony Packo's Sweet Hot pickles, and their juice. A hint of spice makes for awesome potato, egg, and tuna salads. ...

Erm, since I don't drink coffee I'm pretty good with my Ohio State Stainless Steel travel mug for my carnation instant breakfasts. But I wanted to say thanks for this post because my ...

I adore Dorie Greenspan's La Palette's Strawberry Tart if you're looking for something really simple. You bake the tart shell, then assemble each piece as you eat it, makes it easy if you ar...

Oh boy, I can see lots of money being spent there! Love muffin cup liners, so many to choose from.

I tested a Pear and Cranberry chopped salad for CI that is now one of our favorites. I believe it's the July issue of Cooks Illustrated that has recipes for several versions. I also ...

Made a great meal with my dad, Individual Beef Wellington's with Madeira Mushroom sauce--incredible. Grilled Balsamic vegetables, Boursin mashed potatoes, and cheese straws. Getting r...

Just looking at that picture of the grilled artichoke with dip makes me so jealous! That's a festival I would certainly enjoy! Fried artichokes sound pretty tasty too.

We use flour sack towels as a base in some cabinets to keep things from sliding around. Then we use paper towels to separate larger pans or lids and pans, and coffee filters between the 10" and sma...

Add some red pepper flakes to the garlic, olive oil, s & p, and you've got one of my favorite side dishes.

I definitely like all of TJ's pasta, and Whole Foods 365 is good too. Kind of surprised Barilla was so low, but I only use their no-boil lasagna noodles.

Our kitchen is surely larger than that house, but I will say I love the IKEA kitchen rails for kitchens of any size. The variety of hanging items is great, from hooks, to small spice ...

I get to Columbus once every 2-3 months and thanks to Faith's raving Jeni's has become a favorite stop! My 3 favorites are Gravel Road--salty caramel with almonds, Thai Chili, and Queen City Cayenn...

A few things, I roasted my first chicken Sunday and it was incredible--yes I realize I'm one of few on the planet who didn't grow up on roasted chicken! I will be doing it again, and again. ...

Another recommendation for the OXO pictured on the far right. Great for pancakes, cookies, even keeps fish together pretty well.

I want to thank you for posts like this. My kitchen has become a place of not only happiness, but health for me, and appreciating the small things is what I must do every single day. I...
