A lot of vegetarians I know miss the flavor of bacon and it is one of the hardest tastes to replicate when cooking. Unfortunately, for the most part, fake bacon just doesn’t pass muster; the texture, taste, and saltiness just don’t match. Now Quorn, maker of assorted imitation meats, has thrown its hat into the […]
This customizable recipe is perfect cold weather food.
I have to admit that I like canned soups and stews. It’s all kinds of wrong, but the enormous (and not particularly healthy) amounts of salt that go in them are a guilty pleasure for me. Still, as much as I like canned Fasolka (Polish bean stew), I can honestly say that my husband’s homemade […]
Yesterday we had pancakes and waffles, today we’re serving up some bacon. Not the food, mind you, the trend.
Bacon, the Official Food of the Internet (meat division) is in trouble – and it’s not alone! This week saw several news stories about the potential impacts of climate change and increased carbon dioxide emissions on the foods we eat.

I asked the hostess, who is one of my favorite people ever, if she already had someone bringing baked beans. She made a concerned face and said, “You […]

Granted, it’s probably the most artery-cloggingest thing (possibly tied with the Savory Meat Loaf) I have made so far. I have outlined my reasoning for this statement in the form of a short […]
Today’s Morbid Curiosity recipe comes from one of my cookbooks… in a round-about way: it was actually printed on a Campbell’s soup recipe brochure that was stuck inside one of my grandmother’s old cookbooks.
Many people are freaked out by the idea of hosting a brunch, thinking it too big or too complicated or requiring too much effort, but once you stop trying to be Ina Garten and just be yourself, you’ll love throwing brunches, too.
This week, I decided to go for the gusto and make something called “Bacon Wands”. What? No! That is not a bizarre euphemism for a part of the male anatomy! Get your filthy mind out of the gutter!
