Autumn Celeriac (Celery Root) Puree sounds like a tasty, seasonal alternative to mashed potatoes, which can be a little old, dry, heavy.

eat more fish! Asian recipes like this one for fish are some of the easiest and tastiest.

good lord, brownies!!

Andy Nelson's in Baltimore!

an omelette with whatever veggies and cheese are on hand in the fridge, over perfect rice made in 20 min. in the rice cooker.

Bittman always provides alternate ingredients! It's made it SO easy to cook from the book, even if you don't have 1/4 c. of heavy whipping cream or some such.

corniest corn muffins! I can use all of my leftover buttermilk from cake-baking last weekend.

in Baltimore, you can find morning buns, and also teacakes (my favorite), and croissants, and pain au chocolat, and maple sticks, the list goes on and on (!!), at the weekend farmer's markets in Waverly and under the JFX. Bonjour Bakery also has them too! The farmer's market also has great coffee (Zeke's)!!

in D.C., I love the pain aux raisins from Marvelous Market for breakfast!

I love Martha's coconut cake! it's my bday cake every year!

Biggest baking success: homemade croissants and pain de chocolat from Epicurious.com. it was a weeklong project, but they were amazingly delicious!!
