Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything, Revised Tenth Anniversary Edition'
Oh gosh. Just the very idea of simplicity.
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.
Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa
Ooh, I've never seen this steaming method of finishing quinoa before. That looks great!
Win Tix to the SWEETest Event Ever at the New York City Wine & Food Fest

Oh but now I'm so curious...
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.
Cook the Book: 'Chocolate Epiphany'
Flourless chocolate cake, pref with a molten center.
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.

That sounds hella good.

Strawberries. Word up.
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.
Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine
Cheesecake. A meal unto itself.
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!
Cook the Book: 'My Last Supper'
Oh my god, so much pizza. And gelato.
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.
Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
The internet! Okay, and my mom.
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.
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."
