I hate them too, and have had no better luck with or without cooking spray, even though I've read they are supposed to be nonstick. I've used them once to bake red velvet cupcakes too, and not onl...

thanks for the sage ideas -- I have a plant that's going great guns, and haven't been able to use it up fast enough. I'm intrigued to try frying sage in tempura batter; I usually just fry it in bu...

I love marinated carrots (what my grandmother always called these)! Her recipe, which adds onion and celery, also has enough sugar in it they're probably not really low-calorie anymore (though I'm...

I do this too -- but there's an easier way to pull up all the tagged stuff. If you scroll down to the bottom of the "subscriptions" section on the left sidebar, all your tags will be listed there,...

I love Bon Ami or Barkeeper's Friend. It's great for stuck on grease, or for that ring that seems to appear around my sink no matter how hard I try to keep it clean.

I have a granite mortar and pestle that came from Crate and Barrel. I use it fairly regularly, especially to make a garlic/salt paste (I worry that the garlic smell will get into the stone, but so...

You really should get going on the Korova cookies -- they are AMAZING!

I love these cheese date biscuits . The combination of sweet-savory-spicy makes them one of my favorite munchies.
