Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'

I tried making a chocolate tart back in college and it never set and ended up being chocolate soup. Regardless, we all ate it :P

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'

A simple pasta dish is what I turn to when I want a real meal but am cooking for just me - olive oil, garlic, herbs, spinach, squash, and pine nuts.

Cook the Book: '100 Best Vegetarian Recipes'

Being a vegetarian it's hard to pick my favorite meatless dish. But I guess that roasted vegetable anything (salad, rice, pasta) is up there.

Top Chef Calendar Giveaway: What's Your Favorite Sugar-free Dessert?

Dessert without sugar?!? I'm not understanding....

But I guess berries are always good

Cook the Book: 'The Bon Appétit Fast Easy Fresh Cookbook'

Simple pasta with olive oil, garlic, and herbs. And maybe veggies if I'm feeling healthy :P

Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything, Revised Tenth Anniversary Edition'

I guess the No-Knead Bread is the only thing I've made from him. Letting the bread for a really long time makes for excellent, easy flavor!

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Wine Snob's Dictionary'

"pencil shavings" is not too appealing.

I also saw a white wine with a description of "melon and straw" and the disturbing thing is that's exactly what it tasted like. Ugh.

54-Inch Delivery Pizza in Los Angeles, Going for World Record

I've had their pizza before and it was woefully disappointing. With all the places in LA, this is the last one I'd go to, regardless of how big the pizza is.

I'm a big fan of simply olive oil, garlic, herbs, and red pepper flakes.

Who doesn't want a cupcake to ease the pain of a world falling apart?

From A Hamburger Today

Hamburger Mary's, a Gay-Friendly Burger Franchise

I used to live down the street from the one in West Hollywood and loved it! The fries were crispy, the veggie burger was tasty, and the mimosas during brunch were very generous. And, of course, drag queen bingo - one of my favorite things in the world!

http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ is one of my favorites (along with SE, of course!) - her entire blog receives several visits a day from me as I check to see if there is anything new - I discovered this delightful site this summer - I've tried several of her recipes, and am smitten - I'd really love to win her cookbook!
