I love these and have eaten them literally from birth. They were my grandmother's signature dish (besides the dreaded Jello mold) along with her Passover sponge cake. My fam makes them every Than...

When I was young, I remember making hot cocoa with the recipe from the back of the Hershey's Cocoa box (cocoa, sugar, hot milk) and then toasting up some bakery fresh rye bread (with seeds) and lig...

I would stuff each one with an almond and then roll them in some melted dark chocolate and maybe give a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Chill and serve! Nancy

I'm on a budget and cooking for 2. Using a basket USUALLY ensures that I leave with a bill of under 30 bucks! Nancy http://testkit...

Can't wait to make the vanilla and give out as presents!

I've been having a love affair with harissa paste (I believe Moroccan red pepper paste). I use it on and in everything that needs some heat. It's great when you forget to purchase chile peppers b...

Drained (save syrup), chopped, and mixed into chocolate truffles. Then mix syrup with a bit of champagne and a splash of pure cherry juice. Eat and drink together!

Oh no, I missed the cutoff for the vote! I hope that you win! You have been a great source of inspiration! Love the group of readers too!

I roasted a butternut sqash and a mess of onions with some olive oil and s and p. I also made up a black bean saute with some s and p and cumin. I piled it all on a sprouted whole wheat tortilla ...

Real pumpernickel bread toasted with a thin spreading of cream cheese or farmers cheese, some Russ and Daughters smoked salmon, slivers of red onion, and some slices of a red juicy tomato.

I'd like to clear my cabinets and pantry of everything by supplementing with fresh produce. I'd like to slash my grocery bill to about $30 or less a week. I'd also like to find somewhere in my co...

I love 101 cookbooks, the pioneer woman cooks, the rhodey girls tests, foodie at fifteen, bittersweet, among many others. I am also going to toot my own horn and vote for myself (I k...

I also cut in into quarters and then submerge in water. It really is a minimal mess that is created, mostly occasional pom juices squirting when I accidentally lift it out of the water.

I thought Padma was going to pounce of the "tzatziki" though but she didn't.

These are so funny! When my sister was studying in Rome a few years ago, my parents went to visit her. My dad had some kind of fascination with the much smaller size manholes and he attempted to ...

I just made a version of this myself with some lingering arborio rice in my cabinet. Looking forward to trying this recipe. I used a tiny squash I'd never seen before, a golden nugget squash; it ...

I come from a long line of fab pie bakers (no soggy crusts). I have turned vegan so I have begun to experiment making crusts using coconut oil and making raw crusts as well. Check out some of my ...

I love Greek yogurt. I first came across it when I was taking a jewelry class on the UWS and found it in Fairway. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I had already been straining my regular...
