Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
When I was a grad student in Urbana IL, there was a bakery that had the best baklava.
The first time I bought one piece. I moved up to 2 pieces and by the time I graduated I was buying a box every week.

Mixed Review: Stonewall Kitchen Chocolate Whoopie Pie Mix
They look great. My mom used to make whoppie pies for us when we were kids but I haven't had them in a while.
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 59: How Much Should I Weigh?
I think talking to your dr about what makes sense for you is a good idea. You also want to find a weight that you can maintain without being obsessed with dieting.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
spaghetti carbonara with just few pieces of crumbled bacon
Cook the Book: Baked Hot Chocolate
This sounds delicious. I really like the presentation, too.
Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
A flourless chocolate cake I had this weekend. It was moist and almost like a pudding.
Mixed Review: Betty Crocker's Oatmeal Caramel Bars
I don't do mixes too often but this sounds good.
Dinner Tonight: Eggplant Parmesan
I've made eggplant Parmesan a few times and this looks like a good recipe.
I usually bake the eggplant with olive oil instead of frying.
Mixed Review: Brownies Made from Fat Witch Bakery's Snow Witch Mix
I am not usually a mix person but these sounds great.
Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'
I was making oatmeal cookies in grad school one night. I put them in the oven, set the timer, and sat down to watch TV. I must have been tired because I fell asleep for about an hr. I woke up and took the cookies out of the oven. They had basically turned into charcoal.
Super Bowl Snacks: Loaded Baked Potato Potato Chip Nachos
This sounds amazing! I can't wait to try it.
'Top Chef' Season 5, Episode 9: 'It Amused My Bouche'
I agree that Jamie and Stefan are the favorites.
I like Carla and think she was trying to have a good attitude but her defense was horrible. It was so disappointing because her desserts usually seem to do well.
Dinner Tonight: Paprika Roast Chicken
I love roast chicken and I love paprika so this seems like a great combo!
Dinner Tonight: Skirt Steak with Red Wine Sauce
Thanks for the deglazing tips. This sounds like a great week night dinner.
Cook the Book: 'The Great Wings Book'
Chips and onion dip!
Dinner Tonight: Ricotta Pancakes with Lemon Curd
This sounds amazing!
Cook the Book: Castilian Garlic Soup
I love garlic soup although I usually skip the poached eggs. I think I will give this version a try.
Meat Lite: Warm Winter Salad
I have Brussels Sprouts that I wasn't sure what to so with. I am inspired now.
Serious Cheese: Artisanal's 'Cheese Clock'
This is so cool! I like the wine recommendations, too. I never know what wine to serve.
Dinner Tonight: Eggplant Parmesan
I made this a couple of nights ago, but because I was really busy I just made the eggplant as instructed (salted it, drained it, breaded and fried it) and put half a jar of spicy tomato basil sauce on the bottom of my casserole dish, the eggplant on top, provolone slices on top of that, and the rest of the jar of sauce. I baked it as instructed for 20 mins., and voila! For a quick weeknight dinner, it was brilliant. The eggplant was crispy and flavorful, I'll make this again and again.
Sunday Brunch: Pan de Mallorca
I tried making this recipe twice, and both times my dough didn't rise. What am i doing wrong? I followed the instructions carefully and the active dry yeast wasn't expired. PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm so craving this mallorcas.

Once I had the oppurtunity to obtain some fresh road kill.Cant say what kind it was for fear of offending dog lovers,but i cleaned the meat up,removed any obvious road debris,boned it out.Ground it up with a coarse blade,mixed some fine pig fat in with it for moistness and flavor,then proceeded to make the worlds best onion burger,on a toasted sesame seed bun with pickles an special sauce. MMMMM

My nephew made up a burger that he calls a Squeezal Burger. I know it is not "good" for you. It is delishous. I don't know exactly what is in it. I know I saw him grinding the beef with a pound of bacon and adding loads of spices. I know that one of his secret ingredients is morel mushrooms dried and then ground into a powder.

My all time favorite burger is a quarter pound all beef bacon cheeseburger with hot sauce and blue cheese--buffalo bacon cheeseburger.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
Traditional favorite would have to be mushoom and swiss. However, a restaurant near me has a taco burger that is to die for.
Thank you for the entry.

I love the Rincon Burger at Islands!

My favorite burger is a turkey burger with shredded apples, minced onions and poultry seasoning added. I top it with a savory chocolate barbecue sauce and it's delicious!

This is a tough one! There have been many "best " burgers but they would always have to have been juicy rare with oozing cheese, S+P, sauteed onions, and friends around the table laughing and having a great time.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
medium-rare beef burger, tomato, blue cheese, bacon. Maybe some onion too.

The best burger I had was the one made by my daughter-in-law at a family cookout...it had swiss cheese (my favorite) and a big slice of grilled onion on top!

I love a juicy burger with bacon and cheese.

I love a burger with bacon, pepper jack cheese, a bold, rich bbq sauce and that's it. Simple, spicy, and oh so right.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
I love burgers topped with Montreal Steak Seasoning, red onion, lettuce, tomato, gourmet mustard, and either ketchup or bbq sauce. I also love ot add cheese, usually cheddar.

We actually made our favorite burger recipe for the 4th of July. It is a simple Blue Cheese Burger Recipe. We season the ground beef and add chopped onions and green pepper to the mixture. We sprinkle in some breadcrumbs and add an egg. We grill the patties and top them with blue cheese crumbles and bacon.

If I'm not at home and making hamburgers from scratch, In-N-Out Burgers are great, especially with their available off-menu options.
