Stone Bowl Recipe

I definitely have a thing for textures when it comes to food. Contrasting textures, especially in the same dish, really do it for me. When something crunchy is next to something soft, or smooth, the crunchiness is just so…

Potato Pizza Recipe

I visited Rome for the first time last November. As excited as I was to see the Colosseum, Pantheon and Sistine Chapel, I was even more excited to try real Roman food. We had sit-down dinners every night, but…

Pulled Pork Pancakes with Bourbon Syrup Recipe

I have an obsession with breakfasts foods, and by extension, brunch. I love eating breakfast foods anytime and all the time. This makes brunch an especially exciting meal for me–seeing people devour breakfast foods after 12 pm makes me…

Pulled Pork Recipe

This has got to be the easiest pulled pork recipe ever. Honestly, it’s no fuss, no muss, it’s almost not even a recipe at all. I wasn’t really a big fan of pulled pork until I tasted this one.…

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I love bacon and I love chocolate chip cookies. With this cookie, two of my favourite childhood treats are combined into one salty, chocolate-y cookie for the ultimate indulgence. If these cookies existed when I was a kid I’m…

Does it ever seem like every good/fun recipe these days needs cream of tartar? What does it even do? Is there a good substitute? What do you do if you …

Flat-Iron Carne Asada Recipe

Growing up, I didn’t eat a lot of Mexican food. In our house it was all Chinese food all the time thanks to the unadventurous palate of my father. My dad’s the kind of man who’ll insist on eating…

No-Knead Pizza Dough Recipe

If you’ve tasted the breads at Sullivan Street Bakery, I think you’d agree: Jim Lahey is a genius. And the best part is that he isn’t one of those crazy secret-keeping geniuses. In fact, I’d say he’s pretty much…

Bacon Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

I heart oatmeal raisin cookies. They’re sweet, chewy and oat-y enough to feel a bit healthy. But, my love for oatmeal raisin cookies isn’t steadfast; I’m a picky oatmeal raisin cookie lover. I strongly dislike crunchy oatmeal…

Skillet Fried Chicken Recipe
