My parents found out about Luzianne at a restaurant, and now it's my addiction. I load up when I'm in Virginia and now I've got my yankee husband addicted too. My family's seafood stuffed mushroom...

I saw on his website that some commenters had just used chicken parts rather than a whole chicken. if I were to just use thighs, how long do you suppose I should cook it? Might make for an easy, f...

www.eightoclockranch.com/ is in upstate New York, has great prices, humane treatment, amazingly delicious meat. They even have a CSA program. I've been using them for a little over a year now.

On Martha Stewart today she sort of combined the method by boogaloobaby and the one in the video. She scored the skin into quarters, leading out from top. Then she split it from the top, broke it...

I'm going really easy. I'm making chocolate chip cookies with reese's cups in them. My mom used to make them for every bake sale when I was a kid. I thought it'd be a good cookie plus candy trea...

My husband and I went with some friends last weekend. I was surprised to find how different the red delicious apples are off the trees compared to the frightening ones in grocery stores. I made a...

I like a good strong irish breakfast tea with a good deal of milk, sweetened with brown sugar.

I'm not sure what frugality has to do with philanthropy. Sounds like a better plan for me than ordering take out as much as I do. I wish there was something like this in New York City.

I actually took the tips of the cold rest and the dark chocolate chips and just applied them to my standard recipe, the almost-mrs.fields cookies. Since everyone is always blown away by that reci...

I recently traveled to Alaska, via Vancouver and cruise ship. We kept having to declare food because we had dry veggies and fruit to snack on for the flight and, naturally, we brought smoked salmo...

I bought the soda club middle-range model after the profile and give-away done on here a few months ago. It's great, takes up about as much space as a two liter bottle on my counter top. One of t...

mint, basil, rosemary, that about covers it.

My mom got me one of these: http://www.cheftools.com/prodinfo.asp?number=06-0144 It's basically a shot glass me...

Hershey's Cocoa gives the perfect brownie recipe for me, hitting the right combination of fudgy-cakey for my tastes. I've tried so many other fancy recipes, but I always come back to that one.

Grenadine or just straight pomegrante juice are two of my favorite adds, though I also love plain seltzer. If this was mine, i'd make super spicy homemade ginger ale with a shot of Jim Beam thrown...

We use a meat CSA formed by a few farms in upstate New York. They deliver free to a pretty large surrounding area of northeastern states. Grassfed lamb and beef and pork. The meat is amazing, th...
