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

Regards

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. These are essentially coconut-oat-fruit cookies, but have a delicious twist to them. I actually varied ...

Pizza Bagels

You've seen the advertisements on TV. Maybe. If you were lucky. The ads had a catchy little jingle that went something like, "Pizza Bagels, eat them all the time, even dinner time!" We're gonna take the idea and run with it. Why spend a ton of money on a Djorno Pizza, ...

Fresh Fruit Bagel

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 ...

Lemon Madeleines

Making these delicious french cookies is an art in itself. Is it a cookie? Is it a cake? They fall somewhere between. So you have to delicately cook madeleines knowing that you can't treat them like cakes nor cookies. They truly are in a league of their own. Seemingly ...

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 ...
