Serious Eats: cafire's Profile

I just did a pork shoulder in the crock pot for the first time this past weekend. It was amazing! Will definitely do it this way from now on. Best part was - I set it up before I went to bed and I woke up to delicious smells wafting from the kitchen!!

Low-Fat Brownies: Applesauce vs. Yogurt

Thanks for doing this series on low fat mixes! I understand that some of us would rather eat a real brownie, or a full fat one but eat a smaller piece, but there are others of us who would like to lose weight and enjoy dessert while STILL sticking to a low calorie diet. So thanks for the tip! Looking forward to more articles on this!!

The Meat and Chocolate Trend

I've made chocolate covered bacon for a party and it was an overwhelming hit. I'd say 90% of the people loved it. I used center cut bacon (less fat), cooked it on a rack over a tray so it wasn't greasy, and then dipped it in semisweet chocolate. Incredible!!!

Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'

I love really good petit fours. Not the ones that only taste like marzipan - the kind where you can really taste the cake and the frosting in that perfect bite!

Gadgets: The Aebelskiver Pan

I have one of these pans, after taking a visit to Solvang and eating some of Arne's aebelskivers. Delicious! My favorite fillings are a tsp of apricot jam, or of course nutella.
