Cook the Book: 'A Bird in the Oven and Then Some'

I just roasted my first chicken the other week! All I managed to do was put it in the dutch oven and throw it in the oven ... but it was good! (It wasn't pretty, but it was good.)

Cook the Book: 'The Sriracha Cookbook'

I eat sriracha on EVERYTHING ... but I probably like it best on eggs.

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

I just made the Trader Joe's cornbread last night! We liked it, but I was surprised by how sweet it was.

Cook the Book: Ad Hoc at Home

There was a Thai place around the corner from where my best friend used to live in Chicago's Lakeview when I used to crash with her all the time: TAC Quick Thai. Sooo good, so cheap, and BYO.

Taste Test: Veggie Burgers

@ Claudia K -- I never had the Morningstar corndogs, so I don't know how this stacks up in comparison, but last week my Trader Joe's was handing out samples of TJ-brand soy corndogs, and I thought it was pretty tasty. You might want to check it out, if you're so inclined.

Taste Test: Veggie Burgers

I am a dedicated veggie burger consumer -- I eat them probably about three times a week. (I love them atop salad greens for lunch.) Sunshine Burgers are far and away my favorite! I also enjoy Morningstar's Black Bean Burgers and Garden Veggie Patties, as well as Gardenburger's Chipotle Burgers. (I've never been cared much for the Dr. Praegger's California Burger or the Trader Joe's Masala Burger that others have mentioned; both of them fall apart on me.)

Cook the Book: America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book

I created a recipe for peanut butter & cayenne cookies -- and, oh, were they good! Unfortunately, I can't remember/locate the recipe anymore ...

Cook the Book Party Planner: La Cucina

It's not fancy, but my mom always used to make these little ham sandwiches with a mustardy-poppy-seed dressing for Christmas, and I loved them.

Cook the Book: 'Nigella Christmas'

I made those candy cane cookies -- the ones where you twist together the red dough and the white dough. It's harder than it looks to get them to look right!

Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Candied Pepitas and Cider Vinegar! I love brussels sprouts and I love new ways to eat them!

Critic-Turned-Cook Finds Critical Eating Habit Hard to Break

I don't usually give a second chance. I live in NYC; I don't have enough time to give all the places that I want to eat a FIRST chance! (I'll make an exception if it's a veg*n friendly place, though ... )

If I have a bad experience, I do post it on Yelp. I'm not malicious; I just state what my problem was with the meal. I figure my one review won't stop someone from going there, but it might steer them in the direction of a different entree ... one that might be better.

Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'

I love to read Pioneer Woman ... but I also like Smitten Kitchen and Bitchin Camero.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies from the Vegan with a Vengeance cook book ... they are incredibly good
