Everyone Loves a Lemon Layer Cake

Agreed, where's the pic? I'm way more a visual person in that sense!

Double Chocolate Walnut Biscotti

I always end my meal with a take home goodie bag of my double chocolate walnut biscotti, HANDS DOWN! I could make burgers for the main meal, but once they see my biscotti ... well that's what makes the crowd go wild!

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

When I use my food processor for a quick whirl of a few ingredients that I don't need to use the feed tube for, I stretch a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl and the lid so I only have to clean the bowl and the blade when I'm finished. It works like a CHARM!

Forget Cupcakes: Whoopie Pies Are Gonna Be Big

I made whoopie pies only once and they took a lot of time, but boy were they delish! Chocolate are my fav!

I never knew ____ could be so complicated!

I struggle with making a stir fry. I end up making a mess and it looks nothing like what I order in a restaurant. Probably need to learn to plate my foods better. I'm a bad plater!

Immersion blender recommendations

I have a cheap Braun. Works just great. Yeah, sure it's stained ... but it's kept in a drawer in my kitchen and I only take it out when I use it and then wash it and put it away. No need for the expensive - stainless models unless you have gobs of money to throw away. It's just a wonderful kitchen gadget which I've had for 10+ years. The little food processor accessory is wonderful as well for salad dressing and grinding small amounts of herbs or nuts.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet Week 5: Can 'Start Living, Stop Dieting' Work for a Food Writer?

Been a LIFETIME Weight Watcher who's way over goal weight for 11 years! I know what to do, been back and forth to meetings too many times to count over the years...just can't get my act together! WW is the only program to follow! It's a lifestyle! (oh how I hate that word!)

Ellie Krieger- Hype or the Real Deal?

Not too sure, but I do like her "look" also the look of the kitchen she cooks in. All very squeaky clean. Not that it makes her foods taste any better -- but for me it's all visual.

I just splurged on Dorie Greenspan's BAKING cookbook and I feel like copying the Julia/Julie thing by baking in order EVERY recipe from the book. I've already baked up 3 recipes and loved them ALL!
