Get In My Belly Now: Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwich from Peter Pan Bakery

Shut up! That is off the hook crazy. I'm a devoted doughnut lover (I'm Canadian) but I can't go there.

But, if you can, you might want to make some homemade doughnuts and I have a good recipe (did I mention that I'm Canadian?):

Taste Test: Milks Not From a Cow

I like the Silk brand as well. I also did a goat milk taste test (many people who can't digest cow milk find it goes down just fine) and I have to say that if I had to choose between soy, rice or almond based 'milk' I'd do goat for sure.

Should Junk Food Help Pay for Health Care?

I say yes if only to make it seem less attractive economically to people making food choices. I'm amazed at how cheaply you can buy a burger and fries. If taxes made these combo deals more expensive then (hopefully) more people would buy healthier foods.

Make Your Own Monkey Bread

Yummy! Too yummy in fact - how can you resist picking away at this kind of thing until it's almost gone?

I haven't made monkey bread in ages but for those considering it, remember, it's as satisfying to eat as cinnamon buns but less fussy to shape. Well worth the minimal effort.

Cook the Book: Perfect Burger

Burgers are a true pleasure of summertime but it's important to know how to check for doneness (unless you grind meat at home) so that you can avoid making people sick. So many people insert their instant read thermometers into the top of a burger (or chop or steak for that matter) when the probe should be inserted into the side:

Snapshots from Scotland: Deep-Fried Mars Bars

Seriously gross! But, it makes me feel better about eating donuts and french fries once in a while.

Although, I don't mean to pass judgement, after all, I posted about once liking squeeze cheese today so I'm hardly beyond reproach in the gross food department.
