Snack On That

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

Fresh Fruit Bagel

Are Bagels Healthy?

Like anything you eat or cook, the nutritional side of the equation will always come up. Most studies and "believe it or not" articles unfairly place bagels as an unhealthy breakfast, and even go as far as to call doughnuts for breakfast more healthy. This is me, calling them ...

Toasted Roast Beef and Cheese Bagel

Most people don't associate regular old cheese with a bagel, mainly because the rude cousin cream cheese is always the favorite, butting in when people really need a taste of something different. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good old classic cream cheese bagel myself, but there is ...

Eggy in the Basket: French Toast Edition

Eggy in the Basket, an egg fried in the middle of a piece of bread, is a genius idea that has persistently stayed in pop culture to this day (with it's most recent appearance in the 2005 movie V for Vendetta). This morning I cooked up my special variation of this ...

My friend Emily emailed me last night to pass along a new recipe for some cookies she had invented recently. The cookies are called "Regards", so you can literally "send your regards" to someone.
