Honey roasted almond and walnut oatmeal chocolate chip cookies Fall is here and baking season has officially started for me. Well, it is actually more of a  pre-season as I try to get my bearings in the kitchen again but almost everything is where I left it.  I had an oatmeal cookie jones tonight and [...]

Since Cinco de Mayo is around the corner I was messing around with something to celebrate Mexican cooking.  I made fajitas but they didn’t feel authentic and did not get me excited enough to write an article about them.  I did happen to be flipping the channels one day and came across a show on PBS hosted [...]

The first time I cooked a scallop I was hooked.  The knowledge that they were good for you was important to me and that, along with their sweet taste, placed this item on my list of regular home cooked menu items.  Scallops, after all, contain a lot of protein, Omega-3’s, Vitamin B12, tryptophan and a [...]

While perusing the bulk containers during my latest pilgrimage to the Lexington Co-op I came across Quinoa.  I have been dying to get my hands on some but the on-line prices are a little ridiculous since you have to buy 100+ ounce bundled packages.  The price is still a little high in bulk but it [...]

Most of you probably have tried these once or maybe twice and quickly decided that they were too bland and dry to be part of your mealtime repertoire.  Why turkey burgers then?  Well, they are really good for you and if you prepare them right they are really tasty.  In fact, by following a few of my simple [...]

Pastry Hearts can be found in every buffalo bakery and pastry shop.   If you dissect the pastry heart you find that it is constructed of strips of puff pastry laid on edge to the shape of a heart.  I don’t think this is the most efficient use of puff pastry sine this limits the puff [...]

I had the urge to melt some chocolate to pour over the double chocolate cookies I made. I call it Tongues of Fire because of a single ingredient.  It is also the perfect title for a Valentine’s Day treat. The food experience for a lot of people is more complex than they probably realize.  Most [...]

I love waffles.  I mean I really love waffles.  I love baking too so it was only a matter of time before I would take on the waffle.  Now, you may think that wafflin’ is easy but you will find that it is just as hard as pimpin’ if you want good results.  Good results mean a shatteringly crispy [...]

When I think of Buffalo I think Vegan.  Not really, but this recipe takes its inspiration from a recipe I found on the post punk kitchen web site hence the name.   All day I was jonesing to make something with oat flour and this afternoon, out of curiosity, I brought home a half-gallon of vanilla soy milk.   Everything [...]
