Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain
vegan blueberry banana pancakes made with whole wheat pastry flour, garbanzo flour, almond meal and a bit of cornmeal for crunchy goodness. Drowned in pure maple syrup, of course!
What Does Your Fridge Say About You?
I had my coworkers over for dinner the other day. Many opened my fridge to chill the beverages they brought and when they saw the interior were shocked at how it didn't look like their refrigerators. Mine is chock full of local organic produce. One guy opened the door and said "WHOA, all natural!!"

As a kid, I used to make a honey white bread. The smell of that bread was so wonderful, and I loved having a big, thick slice, slathered with honey.

What Is Superman Ice Cream?
Growing up in Michigan, I almost always got superman ice cream when I had ice cream as a kid. There is something about the flavor and the visual appeal.
My tastes may have gravitated more towards chocolate in general now, however whenever I visit Michigan I always get a scoop of superman with a scoop of brownie nut fudge. I call it "The Tammy", named after a friend who was the first to try this daring (yet delicious!) combination.

Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
At a cafe in Michigan which tragically is closed now, they would periodically have a dessert called "Unbelievable Chocolate Cake." I always looked at it with skepticism, but when I finally tried it I was shocked that it lived up to it's name. It was fluffy upon first entering my mouth, and after a brief moment it melted away into an incredibly smooth cream. Additionally it was a bitter dark chocolate taste with minimal sugar... truly a cake for grown-up chocolate lovers! Not only was it "Unbelievable", it was unforgettable!!!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates
My favorite chocolate dessert is the Raspberry Chomato Cake I make every fall. It's a rich chocolate cake with a blended yellow tomatoes in the batter. You can't taste the tomatoes, but the depth of flavor of ripe, in-season, local tomatoes I think enhances the depth of flavor of the dark chocolate. Topped off with fresh raspberry sauce, dark chocolate tofu mousse, fresh whipped cream, fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings, it is my favorite rendition of chocolate.
Is a Small Kitchen an Excuse for Bad Cooking or Not Cooking at All?
I cook all kind of stuff in my small kitchen and the only problem is that the lack of counter space makes for bigger messes and and more difficulty in the timing.
Jonas Trampedach's Tea Bag Coffin
That is a cool and useful design, but I don't think calling it a "coffin" would be very marketable.

Jello Cook and Serve Chocolate Pudding. Yes, I've outgrown it. Something about artificial cocoa flavor that doesn't cut it anymore.
Favorite Fictional Cooks in Movies and TV Shows
All about the swedish chef... but missing from that list I like Bender from Futurama.
Serious Cheese: Counting Money? No, Counting Sheep
I certainly have fantasized about it plenty, but I think it would take some finacial security to actually do it. I wouldn't want to be at risk of going under because of the start up expenses.
I especially like to imagine running a farm to table restaurant where I would serve up farm fresh eats once a week.

I always brought my own lunch, but I remember that everyone thought the burgers were made of horse meat.
Why Don't Recipes Include Salt Amounts?
Even when a recipe specifies, I tend to ignore it. I fell like I'm especially sensitive to salt and when there is too much, it can really ruin a meal. Best to wait and taste before adding any salt!
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
I spotted this flavor offering at an ice cream store in Annapolis, MD. SUPERtasty, though that was the first time.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
I love Superman Ice Cream and my boyfriend from New York thought it sounded disgusting. He went for a walk one time while in Michigan and stopped at Strohl's for an ice cream and decided to give Super Rainbow (named changed because of copyrights) a try and loved it. BTW Strohl's flavors are SUPER RAINBOW—Blue moon, red pop, and lemon ice creams swirled together. A gallon that I bought stated Blue moon, Banana, and Raspberry. So I think it depends on where you buy it and they do taste slightly different. Though I think the Blue moon is the key flavor and over powers the others a little, so the difference is not that noticable. I will post any other flavors I see posted on the ice creams. And for those who never had it you do not realize what you are missing.
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
All of my friends in NC think I am absolutely CRAZY! There is a sweet shop in Boone/Blowing Rock (the mountains) that sells it and no matter what I have to have it when I visit there! I walked down the street when it was snowing with a waffle cone filled with it! I haven't lived in MI in years and nobody anywhere else I have been seems to know about it. My friends in NC also think it is disgusting- but they didn't like Faygo Redpop either so what do yhry know? Ha, they just don't have the refined taste buds that those of us who were born/lived in MI have :)
What Is Superman Ice Cream?
I'm from southern california and they used to sell it everywhere in the 1990s but I recently tried to find it but no one has it and there also used to be a loony tunes brand knock off of the superman icecream but I still can't find either

What Is Superman Ice Cream?
You can get Superman Ice Cream at Kilwins in Asheville, NC as well as Gatlinburg, TN. It is awesome. MY neice picked it out for herself - she is 4. When I saw it I knew I had to try it - I am 36. It was fantastic! This is my new favorite.

Buttermilk pancakes and lots of syrup, of course! And some bacon on the side for dipping into the syrup!
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain
pancakes made with a combo of cornmeal, whole wheat, and white flour have the best texture and flavor. I also use buttermilk and baking soda for maximum fluffiness.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain
Pancakes with sour cream for moisture, and some cornmeal for flavor and texture (not too much, though). Never fails to please.

I'm an old fashioned gal who likes her pancakes the old fashioned way: a plain cake and maple syrup...heavy on the syrup.
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain
The best pancake dish in the entire world would be bacon pancakes at the Original House of Pancakes in Atlanta, GA. Tender, fluffy pancake studded with savory, chewy bites of bacon... drizzled in maple syrup to soften the whole thing... mmmmm!!!!
Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Pancake Mountain
I had a fabulous sort of enormous deep-dish buttermilk pancake a while ago, served with deeply carmelized apples (to the point where my teeth kept gluing together). Sadly, the local place that served it stopped doing brunch and went dinner only. Alas.
