Red, White, and Blue Turkey Burger Sliders Recipe for Memorial Day
I’m a pretty all-American girl, I like to think. I love running around barefoot in the summer, classic rock ‘n roll, a hot grill, and cool drinks. Summer is my season and I, admittedly, love to eat and drink my way through it. I also, admittedly, like to remain relatively close to the same size at the end of the summer as I am at the start of the summer.
Calling All Cheesecake Lovers and Cookie Monsters
What's your favorite dessert? I have spent enough time on Food Gawker to know the top desserts that people love: anything with chocolate, Oreos, Red Velvet, cheesecake and chocolate chip cookies.

It's not overly rich and not too sweet. It doesn't make you feel sick after eating it.
Earl Grey Tea Cookies, Take Two « I'll Have What She's Having
First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who left a comment on my last post.

Menus, Methods and Musings: Desserts: Salted Caramel Cheesecake (Updated with A Note on Salt)
N.B. It was brought to my attention that if this recipe is made with regular salt, it is WAY too salty. I always use kosher salt. Don't use table salt or this will be truly inedible. My apologies to anyone who may have tried it already without that caveat! Here it is at last.
Two Tarts: Homemade Mayonnaise
Sarah and I have been talking about doing homemade mayo for what feels like forever. Now we're experiencing summer temperatures in Colorado, and our thoughts are on picnic baskets, baguette sandwiches, and potato salads. I am not a huge mayo fan, and I have always used it sparingly on sandwiches, if at all. It was a great point of contention when I discovered that my husband's family dips their artichoke leaves in mayonnaise. (Melted butter, am I right?) But homemade mayo is a whole different creature than the supermarket stuff.

Shrimp with Garlic and Parsley - The Best Sizzling Spicy Appetizer at Cooking Melangery
Appetizers are purely for fun. Hors d'oeuvres the French call them: "outside of the works." They are likely to have a wicked lot of calories but most people have come to expect them with cocktails. The French picked up the habit of pre-dinner snacking from the Russians, who call such tidbits zakuskis.
