I fall asleep listening to audiobooks. I have a really hard time falling asleep without them because of my anxiety issues and the voice telling me a story keeps my mind from wandering as I fall asl...

I've done this on pyrex baking dishes and bowls so I always get mine returned after pot lucks etc. For some reason, glass bakeware from Ikea doesn't etch

I have something similar mounted on the inside of a cupboard door, so it's handy and hidden. It holds tin foil, cling film, and waxed paper. I'd like it to hold parchment as well, but I don't use i...

I do one every year. It started when I was 15 and wanted to try to make one, and it's become a tradition. I fill mine with chocolate mousse (chocolate, cooked meringue, and whipped cream, no yolks)...

I was just part of a gingerbread-making extravaganza that put together a village for the lobby of a large hotel in CA and all I can say is I don't even want to think about gingerbread houses until ...

My loaf didn't taste very sour at all, and I wonder if anyone else had similar results

The Fruity Pebble butterfly reminds me of "cakes" my mom used to make out of rice cereal treats. Peanut butter rice cereal treats covered with chocolate ganache, yum!

I use this maker too and it's fantastic. I store the bowl in a plastic bag in the freezer so it's always ready when we want to make ice cream or slushy drinks. I picked mine up at a thrift store fo...

When I was little I was taught to clean wooden utensils by hand and was taught to clean dough off rolling pins and spoons (and pulp off citrus reamers) by making a paste. In one hand I put a teaspo...

and no, I don't alphabetize my spices.......... I sort them according to use (baking spices, herbs, ethnic spices, etc)

I have these spice racks, also from Ikea, mounted on the wall above the counter top I most frequently mix/chop things on. My dad la...

They look like something out of Alton's kitchen, although he would probably use actual lab glass

When I want a lemony treat or have too many lemons I make: Lemon Ice Cream 3½ C sugar 1 C fresh lemon juice 2 tbsp lemon zest 1 quart whipping cream

Okonomiyaki sauce isn't the same as tonkatsu sauce, but tonkatsu sauce is good when you don't have okonomiyaki sauce. I personally like a sprinkle of light soy sauce on mine, no fancy sauces or may...
