Sam is hosting a wonderful event to inspire us to “surprise” someone with a vegan meal. Given my appreciation of the creativity of vegan cooking I quickly used this opportunity to kick around one of my favorite fussy cookbooks, the Artful Vegan.
I’ve had fun springing tofu surprises on my co-workers (who [...]

Sweets and I have a fun game we play when we meet for lunch on campus. We chew over our lunch and ponder like greedy kids in a candy store: what other food place needs to open on campus? Indian, Chinese, Koren, Pub, Mediterranean, Italian, Hawaiian, Starbuckian… we have so many cuisine styles to choose [...]

Leftover mashed potatoes is in itself a rarely uttered phrase in our house. We love mashed potatoes, don’t get us wrong… and there is your answer.
I made Sweets a birthday steak dinner with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes with full on butter! It was good eats. I went ahead [...]
Do you have a sweet cookie in your life? Ok, how about a sweet and spicy cookie with a touch of bite? Look no further but I think we’ve got your stocking stuffer (errr, um, that wasn’t a euphamism) right here!
