My husband found a recipe for boiling down like 2 cups of water with chopped up: 1 onion, a few cloves of garlic and 2 jalapeno peppers. You let it boil on the stove for a bit (Its surprisingly pun...

I never have liked the taste of beer but the bars we always go to have a cider on tap and I love cider! You can drink like the beer drinkers but its much more pleasing to my palate. Ive had Woodchu...

Sheesh. This irks me a little with ALL spice systems, not just these. I LOVE her idea and the storage system looks great, but the reason I dont use Ikea spice storage or the magnetic ones from Bed ...

And the cracking 9 times out of ten on any cheesecake is from it cooking just a bit too fast or cooling too fast. Stirring and adding same temperature ingredients is good practices, but no special ...

ABSOLUTELY. And its a million times easier! I used to do waterbaths and struggled with sealing the springform and soggy ruined cheesecakes when that failed. The water in a waterbath slows the outsi...

Such a cute idea! I'm good at folding paper cranes but honestly don't know about it with wonton wrappers. That sounds tough.

Our Krogers right now (in Michigan at least) have all sorts of bagged nuts on sale. I think 4 bucks a big bag. I got a few pecans and the had sugar cinnamon covered toasted almonds. Figured I could...

Oh I love the leaves behind the bed. I'd love a tutorial for how to do transparent looking leaves like that.

I have an old wood one that was my great-grandfather's from his old pharmacy (and yes I use it all the time!) I just got the exact one pictured though (the LeCreuset) 2 weeks ago as a wedding gift....

I always add almond to my baked goods. Always. Frostings, cakes, cookies, you name it. I buy huge bottles of it I use it so much. Its way underrated in my opinion.

If you don't give candy, you will be made fun of and not liked. Period. I'm sorry, but it would be like expecting to get a Christmas toy and someone hands you a pencil instead (or something equally...

I have a teensy tiny rental kitchen with almost no counter space yet I have on the counters: -a crock of utensils -a Mickey Mouse cookie jar -a lava lamp (I know...) ...

Ha! Before I saw what the answer was I knew it would be ladle! I have a few and use them a lot (I make lots of soups and chili) But can totally see how they can be a nuisance. I just cram them in t...

OH wow I read this then JUST read this post...microwave them! I would have never thought of that but it looks good! Great instructions here:

Looks kinda yummy. True Olive Salad is a mix of big green olives and kalamata olives crushed and some REALLY Good olive oil. Thats most of what you taste so pop for good stuff. I'd ma...

I think it works to some point. My room, I got a really fun printed throw pillow I put center on my bed and got a big canvas and painted the same exact pattern on it to hang above my bed. I think w...

I see where you're going with the dutch baby pancake but it definitely looks more tart like- I agree with the editor. This looks (and your description sounds) like a thin tart shell with a lemon pu...

Absolutely I need my shears. Yes, I use them as everyday scissors if I get a package to open or something like that, but like you said, they're more heavy duty. Why would I bother using regular sci...

My pans recommend for the black burned gunk in pans to put just enough water to cover the pan and sprinkle a good bit of powdered dishwasher detergent (Not liquid soap like Dawn, I'm talking like C...

Real Mexican vanilla in bean or extract form is totally fine- and I'm sure quite yummy. Just hard to come by. No health risks or anything like that.
