Breakfast for dinner: Easy crustless quiche recipe
Since I can’t afford to go out to brunch every day, where I’d be able to fill my maw with eggcellent dishes (I’m sorry, you know I had to), I decided to learn how to make quiche myself. This is the easiest, quickest, and most affordable crustless quiche recipe…
The Korean take-out-inspired, coconut pumpkin soup recipe that taught me how to embrace cooking
After watching the Food Network, I got inspired. I did some digging in my parents’ kitchen, and I found some pureed pumpkin, a can of coconut milk, and some carrots. And then I discovered their mother-effing VITAMIX with a “hot soup” setting.
I took a few deep breaths, put on some music, and decided to wing it.
When I finally tasted my soup, everything made sense. This is why my husband loves cooking so much. It was FUN. I made a restaurant quality soup. All by myself. A soup that completely embraces the non-official start of fall; deliciously fatty, with a stunning orange color and perfect creamy texture. An artistic masterpiece…
Strange pantry cooking: Creative culinary concoctions from someone else’s kitchen
Cooking in another person’s kitchen awkward and daunting. However, once you get the hang of it, the opportunity for creativity abounds! Vacation rental kitchens are great for this.

I buy them for friends as housewarming or wedding gifts, and I sing their praises to people who probably are sick of hearing about them (until they get one too and then they can’t shut up either). At first glance, it seems like it’s just an electric pressure cooker… And it is! Which is great even alone. But [in my Billy Mays voice] that’s not all, friends. That’s not all…
What are your favorite easy-to-throw-together meals in a bowl?
A couple months ago, I was gifted this book. It’s basically a collection of easy-to-throw-together breakfast bowl recipes. So my question for you guys is this… What are your favorite STUPID-EASY to throw together meal in a bowl? (That doesn’t require making your own yogurt, or having some rare healthy grain?)
What if cookery writers told the truth? My honest recipe for “exploding rhubarb soda”
Cooking is important to me, and I’d like a bit more honesty please. I want Jamie Oliver to tell me that the first time he made the chia pudding it tasted like cold snot, for Gordon Ramsey to confess that one time his mixer broke down and it was a total shambles.
Things are difficult to make, and no one should feel like the failed because their galantine was a huge meaty mess. Scoop that s**t up and call it burgers.
