Oatmeal Is Starbucks' Most Popular Food Launch

Amen to all of that. The toppings Sbux offers are neat, but instant oatmeal is SO CHEAP. They're making a freaking killing.

From Recipes

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa

Ooh, I've never seen this steaming method of finishing quinoa before. That looks great!

Pumpkin Spice Bread with Maple Cheesecake Layer

Oh wow. Two of my favorite foods in the world, smooshed together. Forget the gorgeous photo. I want to eat that so bad.

Cook the Book: 'A16 Food + Wine'

At a German bar on the Lower East Side, on a bad date... the second white on the list, which I stupidly failed to write down or remember. But DAMN that wine was good.

Dippin' Dots: Still Whimsical, Still Delicious

I *love* Dippin Dots. I actually like how they taste, and really enjoy the process of eating them, the cold crunch at the beginning, the way they melt in the corners of the bowl by the end. They're practically my favorite part of going to baseball games. The ice cream of the future! And the future is now.

Cook the Book: The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper

Adam Roberts. But I'd just want to hang out. Friend crush!

Cook the Book: 'Top Chef'

Stir-fried veggies. Perfectly cooked, hot and crisp, they're great. And the closest I come to impressive.

How to Reduce Your Food Costs in 60 Minutes a Week

I don't find coupons for produce, but following deals and sales, whether by circular or careful signage-reading, definitely helps. Some weeks green peppers are 99 cents/lb, some weeks it's more than twice that. That's an important sort of thing to know.

Serious Easter Artisanal Chocolate Egg Giveaway

Charoset. I always ask my mom to make extra, and then I take home a bowl and live off it for a week. Apples, walnuts, dates, wine - I think that's all the food groups, no?

Cook the Book: 'Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking'

I would say noodle kugle (and how the hell do you spell that?), but the latkes on the book cover look so darn good. Oh, and charoset. Mmmm. A Hilel sandwich (matzah, charoset, and horseradish)... almost time!

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles'

"You would make a good lawyer," which just made me laugh, because, growing up a smart, assertive know-it-all girl, I used to get that ALL the time.

Oatmeal Is Starbucks' Most Popular Food Launch

I like to get it if I am hungry and don't want to eat something with 500+ calories and tons of fat. I like their tall latte and oatmeal combo.

From Recipes

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa

Quinoa is one of the healthiest foods. I recently was introduced to it, and I love its flavor. I also learned it has many health benefits. For instance, it aids in cardiovascular, protects against gallstones, helps eliminate migraines, and more. You can learn more by visiting my site and searching for "quinoa."
