Highly HIGHLY recommend that stuffed pumpkin recipe. I made it a few days ago, and it was absolutely delicious. I used gruyere, 7-grain bread, garlic, thyme and heavey cream. The proportions in the...

Southern Tier's Pumpking has a really really strong pumpkin taste-- just like pumpkin pie. But still not too sweet. I highly recommend if you can find it.

There's a recipe for a great ribollita stew on here that I've made before, and it calls for a parm rind. It's an absolutely divine recipe.

Small batches... Dill pickles, tomatoes, golden beets and peach butter. Can't wait to try them all!

Not digging things made from real feathers... Especially those hideous red lamps. But Using the shapes of feathers on decals, rugs, fabrics, etc is pretty cool.

Delish, delish, delish. Almonds instead of pistachios, half the apricots and extra dried cherries and golden raisins. My oh my! If you're a granola fan, you MUST make this recipe. Yields a LOT, so ...

what's the brand of your couch? it looks quite comfy.

Magic Hat - Wacko! It's a light-tasting beer, but the color is pink (enhanced by beets). Really fun to drink, but you gotta pour it into a glass. And, I like having [more than a couple] Miche...

Don't forget to personalize your space... Whether it's framing art a friend has made or showing off your book collection, personal touches really make a difference in modern spaces-- to make it loo...

Looks nice in a magazine, but not in a real home. everything is so sterile and not comfy/cozy. Plus, that prison toilet makes me want to barf.

I'm a pescatarian, and my boyfriend is vegetarian. When I have friends over for dinner, I usually just serve vegetarian meals, making sure there is plenty of food so people don't feel deprived. If ...

My parents were antique dealers when I was little, and had a lot of cool furniture. Some of it did get messed up by us kids, and they had to live with that. (My mom became very skilled at repairs)....

For spices, Penzey's is totally reasonably priced. It's better quality than what I'd find at my local supermarket, and priced the same or sometimes cheaper. And for many spices they have smaller co...

make your own croutons when you have leftover bread and herbs... save them in a tupperware and use them in your soup. delish!

Some people have suggested busts of Lincoln... I personally really dig the artwork of Justin Richel, and his prints can be purchased for $10 each on Etsy. He's got a series of presidential-looking ...

Definitely recommend the skinny microplane. I use it for lots of stuff-- zesting, nutmeg, cinnamon, grating garlic, parm, whatever. Very glad I got it. And I also highly recommend the Le Creuset sp...

I use a recipe from 101cookbooks that I've modified. Slice them in half, throw some olive oil in a pan, then but the sprouts in, cut side down. Spray some olive oil on top, and sprinkle salt & pepp...
