Pumpernickel bread is my absolute favorite. It makes the best toast, in my opinion. I've never actually made a loaf - I can't wait to hear the results!

Roasted for sure... it's like candy. Vegetable candy. Yum!

I just discovered this recipe for making brown rice - it turns out perfectly every time: htt...

I've been putting roasted squash in my salad recently. The warm squash wilts the greens just a bit, cucumber for crunch, sunflower seeds for a little nuttiness, and some dried cranberries. It taste...

I think the paint was called almond sugar. We started off by painting it a really pale yellow, but the florescent light picked up the yellow and made it way too intense. Our kitchen is really small...

I pretty much always want salad when I come home from traveling. Arugula, toasted pine nuts, and whatever other green stuff is in season. Though the first night back, sashimi and seaweed salad are ...

A gas stove and a full size oven are definitely on my list of kitchen prerequisites.

I really like my bagels toasted with hummus. So tasty...

I use the Fanny Farmer cookbook that belonged to my mother. It's the cookbook I grew up with - ours naturally creases at the brownie recipes and it smells like vanilla extract. So good.

I couldn't digest any dairy or soy products as a baby. That seemed to go away until my early twenties, although the family always teased me about my "nervous stomach". Looking back now, I was alway...

I love the fettuccini with Brussels sprouts and pine nuts recipe from Gourmet (November 2007) that Applezest mentioned above. I toast the pine nuts separately, and add some crushed red pepper for a...

Since I'm lactose intolerant, I regularly substitute coconut milk for cream in most recipes with excellent results. It doesn't really work well for the whipping (nor does it really cut down on fat ...
