I don’t think I’ve ever used a banana recipe that called for the purchase of fresh bananas. I’m always looking for last-minute ideas to catch a banana mere moments before it joins the choir invisible. It’s not that I don’t respect bananas. It’s just that (a) we always seem to tire of them two or three breakfasts sooner than anticipated, …
I like wafers. I like Kit-Kats and Keebler Fudge Sticks and even the little boring generic ones that just have one layer of vanilla cream in between. I like wafers that are covered in chocolate, like the Mocha Cappuccino wafers above, just as I like wafers au naturale, like the Lemon Cream Cheese wafers below. I pretty much like wafers …
Booty like sunken treasure…not the other thing.
Silky-smooth, tart, and reminiscent of lemon candy, lemon curd is a sort of dessert condiment. (A dessert condiment that I totally eat for breakfast all the time.)
I rarely bake cookies, so when I do, I almost always choose a new, never-before-tried recipe, in the interest of adventure and an increased return on the laborious exercise of measuring things with measuring cups (ugh). The exception: McCall’s Old-Fashioned Sour Cream Cookies. Probably half the cookies I make—ever—are these. They’re the perfect cookie, and therefore the only recipe worth …
These trees are nothing but chocolate-covered ice cream cones filled with delicious ice cream of your choice.
You know what sucks about having a bread machine? Nothing! The only thing that could improve bread machine ownership is a greater abundance of trustworthy bread machine recipes. There are bread machine recipes to be had, but the sources are often dubious and reviews can be hard to come by, so it’s difficult to know whether you’ll end up with …
The holidays are on the horizon (they must be; craft stores have been crawling with Christmas trees for months), and that means we need drinks made of ice cream and booze! We need them because they’re simultaneously cold and warming; we need them because there’s an eggnog-shaped void in the lives of those of us unfortunate enough to have noticed …
Five ingredients. That’s it. Well, seven if you count lemon juice and a spoonful of sugar, but stop being so pedantic. It’s basically five. It’s like a whole-food dessert, more or less: lightly sweetened apples and nectarines, Greek yogurt with maple syrup mixed in, and some cereal on top. All right, you’ve got me there: once I said “throw cereal …
I made these cookies on Friday to welcome John home from a week-long training conference, but he was so tired he forgot to have one that night, and the next day we headed out to an awesome barbecue down in Macon. We were there to visit our friend Paul and his family, and early in the afternoon, Paul’s uncle asked …
This is an adaptation—and a huge improvement, in my opinion—of the classic microwave mug cake. You probably know about microwave mug cake. The Internet has been swooning over it for a while; I think I first read about it in 2007, the year of Dramatic Chipmunk, I Like Turtles, and the Rickroll. It may not be a flashy meme, but …
Congratulations! The simple fact that you’re sitting here reading this means you’re about to make a glorious, boozy contribution to science. You’re not part of the control group, by the way. You get the jello! I don’t play a lot of video games these days, but I love Portal, and most recently, Portal 2. They’re fantastic. Remember that time GLaDOS …
