Lunchtime Poll: Favorite Comfort Food

I just ordered pizza…again for the third time this week. I might have a problem, well plenty of them. I just get too tired after work to cook. With my wife working later lately, it seems easier to order take out than cook a nice meal for us. I had taken fish out and was […]

Spicy Comfort Food of the Pinto Variety

I have had a can of pinto beans sitting in my pantry. In true apartment-living style, my pantry is a large cabinet above my microwave, but “pantry” sounds much nicer, though, upon further reflection, I am not sure that a sentence about a can of beans really merits much dressing up. Anyway, I have had […]

Winter Tomato Soup

It’s getting colder and darker out, so of course grilled cheese and tomato soup is an old standby for comfort food. Here’s a really good recipe for tomato soup that will be more comforting than the mundane stuff out of the can.  Trust me!

Comfort Food

I have to write about food. Last week was the Jewish New Year, I’m from New “Yawk,” therefore, I have to “tawk” about food. I’m not going to write about the countless ways food and fat are related or the countless ways they are not. I am not going to write about the gross misconception […]

Winter Food to Warm You Up

It’s winter and where I am, that means it’s cold and snowy. This makes me want to curl up and eat what I deem “winter food”–generally something that’s rich, yummy, filling, and frequently cheesy. Things like soups, stews, biscuits, and pasta with beans. The kinds of food that make you feel all warm inside. This […]

LTP: 10/17/11

It’s Monday, so that means it’s my turn at the LTP wheel. I made it an easy one, because Monday already requires enough deep thoughts and hard choices.

Lasagna For Breakfast?

Man, it has been a hell of a week for me. I have been under an incredible amount of stress; I’m surprised I haven’t already run screaming from the house tearing out my hair and kicking in people’s car windows. To put it in the tinest of nutshells, the following has happened to me this […]

Shepherd’s Pie for the Low-Carb Veghead

As if I don’t impose enough dietary restrictions on myself being a vegetarian, I recently decided to go on a low-carb “diet.” I put the word diet in quotes because it isn’t just your run of the mill eating plan to try and lose weight (though that has been a bonus). I’m trying to make […]

It’s Brownie Time!

Today, I want to share with you the only brownie recipe you will ever need in your life. None of this light and fluffy cakey nonsense. These are hardcore fudgy brownies worthy of a whole glass of milk (provided, you know, that you’re not lactose intolerant). The best and worst thing about this recipe is […]

Little Sausage-y Nuggets of Joy

Bisquick sausage balls are a wonderful thing.  They are cheesy enough to make great comfort food, they reheat very well so they make a great appetizer to take along to a party, and they are easy enough to be a good “kid’s cooking” project.

Hometown Favorites: Buñuelos

I’m home on spring break. What happens when I am home for my breaks, you may ask? I fill up on foods that make me so deliriously happy, angels start to weep. The food that I am currently craving at the moment? Buñuelos.

Lunchtime Poll 11/24

I’ve been thinking of food all damned day.  So obviously this will be a food themed lunchtime poll.  I keep dodging the copout of asking whether you all are team cake or pie, but since food is clearly the biggest word in our tag cloud (down and to the right for people who don’t scroll) […]
