My local grocery had cans of pumpkin in their "featured sale" aisle and there was plenty. I also picked up three cans of organic pumpkin puree at Trader Joe's and while the shelf was about half emp...

My problem is, I want to make ahead RIGHT NOW. But what is the point of buying fresh ingredients for say, a cake, and then freezing it? I plan to make my desserts and boil/bake potatoes on Tuesday ...

I volunteered to make Thanksgiving dinner for my family this year too -- four adults and one child. I would like to try some non-traditional dishes but my dad would flip out! We're having all the b...

This is such a cute idea! I'm definitely giving them as gifts this year.

baba yaga, how are you oh so positive that your odor is not offensive to others? I smoke, and if I go to a party where smoking is not allowed or only allowed outside or in the garage, ...

My apartment has an office nook just like this, adjacent to the hallway and dining room. I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year and have been thinking of hanging a curtain over the "home office" -- if ...

I have taken to rinsing my steel-cut oats thoroughly before cooking them, and it really helps cut down on the lumps. The one time I made them in the slow cooker, I didn't like the skin or lumps so ...

I have painted, swapped out cabinet hardware, and hung new light fixtures (which I took with me when I moved out). I really couldn't justify the expense of doing much more... with as much as I pay ...

I enjoy them best raw and dipped in ranch or bleu cheese dressing. Crispy, creamy... yummy!

Really? I was looking at these dutch processed cocoa posts because of those gluten-free cookies. What do you recommend instead?

I tried the 101 Cookbooks recipe last night. :( They are so pretty, I really really wanted to like them!! Mine were browned and tender so I don't think I cooked them wrong, but they were bitter. I ...

Yow. I thought the after picture was the before.
