The one food you are SICK of this summer....

I hate to sound like a party pooper but I am not sick of anything other than canning stuff. I am totally sick of canning tomatoes. Other than that- summer vegetables and fruit- rock on.

The Crisper Whisperer: Zucchini Pancakes

I have my own version of these, they are called Mock Crab Cakes. I have them on my blog, Loris Lipsmacking Goodness. Honestly I have them about once a week, along with some great corn cakes that I make. Love summers bounty. I will give this recipe a go as well. Thanks!

Dinner Tonight: Calabazas Horneadas (Baked Squash, Chiles, and Corn Tacos)

I just made it tonight! Have been wanting to make something like this for a while. This looked the best of all the recipes I have seen. It was excellent.

OIAJ: Oatmeal in a (Peanut Butter) Jar

I dont eat anything hot out of plastic- I am always concerned about the potential for more chemicals in my food.

I do use a spatula to clear away every precious spec of peanut butter.

Now, I need to try peanut butter with oatmeal!

MacGyver cooking tips?

Its much easier to pit cherries using a sturdy straw. Poke cherry in from bottom and pit will poke out through the top of the cherry. Works like a charm.

Cook the Book: Radish Salad

I am growing arugula in a pot right outside my patio door. Cant wait to use it in salad. I have been stealing bites once in a while. Oh its so tender and delicious.

This sounds like a nice recipe as I have an addicition with radishes.

Greek-American Lamb Gyros

After attending a Greek Festival last weekend and eating gyros, I was on the lookout for a recipe. I have tried making it in the past but nothing great ever happened. So I had resigned myself to only having it when we went out for Greek. Thank you for doing such an outstanding job here. The results look amazing.

Having said all that what do you mean you rigorously sampled women and found gyros to be the more attractive portion of that poster? ; )

The Nasty Bits: Testicles, Grilled and Fried

Grilling: Pineapple Salsa

Doesn't salsa mean sauce anyhow. I love fruit salsas and I have to say that my favorite is a cranberry salsa that I make. Everyone thinks its a crazy thing but then they love it.

I am quite sure I would like this pineapple one.

Cook the Book: 'Ready for Dessert'

All time favorite would have to be an Opera cake. NEver would have said that five years ago. After trying it though there is no turning back.

Cook the Book: 'Rose's Heavenly Cakes'

Honestly, all humility aside. The best slice of cake was the Daring Bakers Opera Cake I made. All those components were totally worth the final result.

Shamrock Shake Returns to Select McDonald's, But Disappoints This Year

I must say that I have always loved their Shamrock shakes, even though the rest of the menu is an absolute non interest for me. After trying one this year, I can put them on the side of I am no longer interested. Why? Because it tasted way more lemony then minty. My four year old noticed it first, then I tried a sip and I definitely agreed. What the heck did they do?

Seriously Italian: Cardoons

In the Spring you see them all over the Rochester area (NY). We have a rather large Italian population here. I heard they are far better picked wild than bought at the supermarket. I also heard they lack flavor. After your article, maybe I will give them a go.

Mixed Review: Duncan Hines Angel Food Cake

You know what is a very tastey treat. Take a box of the angel food mix, stir in one can of crushed pineapple. Pour into a 13 x 9 pan and bake at 350. No hanging involved. And wow what a tastey low fat treat.

The Nasty Bits: Cod Milt

I am not sure whether I should laugh or throw up here. I just did a noticable shiver. Part of me would like to try it. But I guess my Victorian sensibilities would rule it out. Maybe after a couple margaritas.

I guess if I can eat Rocky Mountain Oysters... can you see that I am trying to convince myself here.

Your articles always fascinate me, maybe disgust me as well, but always fascinate me.

Cook the Book: 'Jamie's Food Revolution'

I am a sucker for some soup. Broth, either my frozen variety or canned with some noodles and whatever veggies I have on hand. Put a sandwich together and voila, a satisfying dinner.

Serious Cheese: What Happens When a Curd Nerd Becomes Lactose Intolerant?

I dont know if anyone already said this but if you eat dairy in the morning, it will have less of an effect. The enzymes diminish as the day goes on. I use to have it, when I got pregnant it went away. A dietician I worked with said you get a boost of enzymes when you are pregnant but I would need to keep up my dairy consumption to keep them there. So far so good, three years later. I felt like I was reborn.

I certainly can empathize. My husband has it and there is no denying it. It comes with certain "elements" that have nothing to do with urinary conditions as a previous poster stated.
