I don't know what the weather's like where you are, but in Santa Barbara we're having an actual winter! Rain! Temperatures in the 50s! I know that sounds mild to lots of people, but I swear I've never been so…

I'm loving bloggers this week. Yesterday, of course, was a heart-attack recipe from SOT, and today I have to draw your attention once again to the Ridiculous Food Society of Upstate New York. Mr. Dave constantly cracks me up, and…

By far the most popular post we've ever done was Bacon Wrapped Eggs. I don't know what it was about that recipe that made everyone's mouth water so, but we got lots of great feedback and alternative recipe suggestions. Since…

When I was a kid, I tried countless times to make potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes. My problem was that there was no internet or Food Network when I was a kid, and I never found a real recipe.…

I'm only a recent convert to the Cobb Salad. I grew up in a time and place where salads consisted of iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers with any variety of gloopy dressings available, preferably something mayo based in my household.…

That Mr. Dave at the Ridiculous Food Society just keeps wowing me! You may remember that in October he made sausage entirely out of bacon, a feat heretofore unheard of. So of course I have to check in on him…

My friend Christine sent me this recipe months ago, but I decided it really had to be saved for Thanksgiving. And now that November is here, the recipe sharing can commence. This pie is unique in many ways. First off,…

Over the past few years, I've been building my soup repetoire. I've got everything from mulligatawny to chicken & dumplings to albondigas in the line-up, and each fall I start seeking out new recipes to add to the list.…

It's that time of year when the weather is crisp and so are the apples. My neighbors brought me a big bag of them last week and I've been enjoying them to no end. You just can't get apples this…

Ah, the ingenuity of bacon-lovers. Always out finding new ways to incorporate bacon into their daily lives by wrapping, stuffing or infusing a favorite dish with smoky goodness. And while I think many of us have made great strides in…

I'm about to make a confession of which I am not proud: I love TV. I don't think I loved TV before TiVo and DVRs, but now, like Depeche Mode, I just can't get enough. And with the Discovery Channel,…
