Woah! Is this blatant sponsorship of a product that you’re reading?
Yes, it sure is. It’s not often that I get the opportunity to talk about something I absolutely love, use nearly every day and have written about for free AND get paid to do it. This is one of those cases and I couldn’t be happier to take a moment out of my day and plug 
So lets start out this entry with some initial reactions to the new contestants of top chef:
Jennifer Carroll – “I’ve made many boys cry” = soon to be top chef winner.
Jesse Sandlin – This is one bad mama. The first thing she said to the camera was that people who come out of culinary school [...]
Even if you don’t like cauliflower, I recommend trying this recipe. Roasted cauliflower tastes very differently from boiled, steamed or even sauteed cauliflower - the concentrated cauliflower flavor really makes this dish irresistible.
You can use your roasted cauliflower to make cauliflower soup, or you can just serve it as a side dish. Both are great.

I used to look down upon the Twitter craze because there are few people that I deem interesting enough to want to know about their whereabouts every five minutes. But this social network proved me wrong as soon as the “food cart” phenomenon popped up. An individual or a few people get together with [...]
I have the world’s coolest neighbor. His yard is well kept, he doesn’t throw loud parties and he pretty much stays to his own devices… Unless he has tomatoes. At that point he’s my favorite guy in the world, because he doesn’t like tomatoes so he gives them to me, and I adore them.
It also happened that the last time he got a box, I had picked up a…
Hi
Just wanted you to know about the new cookbook review section of www.CookingNook.com. I was approached by a few cookbook publishers to see if I wanted to receive cookbooks for review. Well sure! I LOVE cookbooks, as I guess anyone who has a cooking website and blog does. So of course I said yes.

If you’re wondering why I would take the time to post a recipe for a simple salami sandwich, I assure you that there is a very valid point behind this entry.

What do you do when you find yourself with a ton of stale bread? Normally I would have made dressing, but since I’m trying to be a bit more adventurous while my wife is away, I thought that a savory bread pudding sounded like a good idea.
When I started looking around for recipes, I realized that bread puddings are as varied and free-form as most dressings. I found asparagus,…
I have fallen so in love with Kiwi that strawberries are jealous. Kiwi are as delicious as any fruit and very versatile. From a health and fitness standpoint, 2 kiwis have more fiber than 1 cup of blueberries or 1 cup of strawberries. That surprised me a little.

If there’s one food a kid can’t resist, it’s pizza. of course, ordering pizza for two kids with different tastes can cost a small fortune, so making your own is much more budget friendly. (I think these cost me a total of 6 dollars.)
On a normal day I would have simply made a batch of pizza dough, some marinara sauce and topped the pizza as desired. Unfortunately I haven’t…
All of the kids in my cooking camp love visiting our local Farmer’s Market.

As I sit here, beaming with afterthoughts of Julie and Julia, I am going to quote Anthony Bourdain. I wouldn’t normally describe him as enlightening, yet he is quite eloquent… at times.

Just about every family has their own recipe for French toast, but aside from a few who might make the mixture the same way each and every time, there really is no need for a recipe. (Did I just hear Escoffier rolling in his grave? Perhaps, but it’s a true statement.) The basic foundation is nothing more than bread, eggs and milk. From there any flavor combinations that suit your…

I’ve been loving the Sargento Reduced Fat Pepper Jack cheese in paninis, on cold sandwiches, and (of course) on Ritz Crackers. I’ve also found it to be outstanding in omelettes and shredded up in scrambled eggs.

Olive salad is a thing of beauty. Often it’s comes in jars as bits and pieces of olives and pickled veg, the very thing to gild a Muffaletta (a large round sandwich piled with ham, provolone, salami, mortadella, and Swiss, topped with chopped olive salad).
