Chewy Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies Once I started my blog, and pretty much had a running stock of treats lingering in my apartment I made a vow to stop buying desserts when out and about in the city. You see, I used to be that girl that would seek out every new bakery and spend my days walking around the city with a cupcake/cookie/brownie from here or there. I’m not saying that I never eat treats when I’m out, but eating my own sweet creations at home seems to satisfy my sweet tooth for now. Anyway, back in my pre-blog days, I had a mild obsession with the Lemon White Chocolate Chip cookie from Whole Foods. I’d find excuses to end up in Union Square only to peek in and see if they had any of these delicious cookies left. Like other drop cookies these are easy as can be and are made and out of the oven in 20 minutes. Chewy Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients Instructions Preheat oven to 375° F.
Blueberry, Brie and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese Recipe Blueberry, Brie and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese Blueberry, Brie and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese-a sweet and decadent grilled cheese sandwich that is perfect for dessert! It’s no secret that grilled cheese sandwiches have been my ultimate pregnancy craving this time around. The ingredients are simple-bread, cheese, and butter. You really can’t go wrong when those ingredients are involved. I am fine with a classic grilled cheese sandwich, but sometimes it’s fun to spice things up. I love a good savory grilled cheese, but my new favorite is a sweet grilled cheese sandwich, Blueberry, Brie and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese. The other day we were out running errands and got home later than we anticipated. I looked in the fridge and spotted a wedge of President Cheese Brie. Josh agreed, but I started to feel like a bad mother, so I got out some veggies, crackers, fruit and spreadable President Gourmet Cheese for us to snack on while we made our dessert grilled cheese sandwiches.

The Comfort of Eggs in a Basket Eggs in a basket was the first meal I ever cooked. I was in 5th grade, and it was a Sunday morning at my best friend's house after a sleepover. We woke up hungry, and for some reason his parents weren't home. This confused me--my parents would never do that--but more important than confusion was the fact that I was terribly hungry, and I didn't see how that problem was going to be solved, since his house never had any cereal in it. "We'll make eggs in a basket," my friend said, pulling out a loaf of bread, a jug of oil, and a carton of eggs. The resulting breakfast was awesome: runny yolk and crisp bread dripping with oil (we filled the skillet so much oil it was basically deep-fried). Ideally, make this with slices of toast cut thick. I guess I have a fondness for very fast and simple eggs + bread dishes, my love of "eggy bread" evidence of this, which is basically French toast without sweetness or spices. What are your go-to quick meals when hunger looms? Eggs in the Basket
CHAI! Oh sweet! I'm totally going to use this, thanks. if you go to middle eastern stores, or even indian stores cardamon is waaay waaaaay cheaper. stop buying ethnic ingredients at chain grocery stores- they over charge!! same goes with pomegranate juice... or figs... or dates. I love it when your comics take a turn to the psychedelic side... Holy cow I'm doing this the second I get home from work. Ok, yeah, definitely making a bigger batch next time. I used to get the best Chai tea from the cafe at Borders when I worked there, for some reason I've never had better! Yeah, they had great Chai...then their cafes became Seattle's Best and the good Chai could never be had again. are you planning to publish a book of the various comic recipes you've been making? Twinings had a nice Indian Spice Chai in tea bags, which is nice. Oh wow this is the coolest recipe ever! Cardamom is a lovely, lovely spice, and makes a fabulous spiced sweetened bread. I can't WAIT to try this recipe now. try Oregon Chai.
Cinnamon Apple Crisp (and other Dinner Club recipes!) By Lisa, on November 19th, 2013 I’ve got a great little dessert recipe to share with you that is both cute and easy. Trust me, it’s almost impossible to mess this one up. We served this Cinnamon Apple Crisp dessert to our Dinner Club guests last weekend. I usually only serve guests recipes that I know will turn out well, but lately I’ve been more lax in that department for some reason. The rest of our evening was (thankfully) a lot less spontaneous. Boiled Peanuts: I previously thought this might be a complicated recipe when in fact it’s just peanuts that have been boiled! Are you part of a “Dinner Club” as well? Cinnamon Apple Crisp Serves: 8 Individual Servings Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In the same mixing bowl combine the crumble ingredients including the oats, flour, walnuts, melted butter, honey, and salt. *To make this recipe Peanut/Tree Nut Free, omit the walnuts/pine nuts from the crumble topping. We recommend organic ingredients when feasible. You may also like:

How To Make Coffee: Turkish Coffee February 13th, 2014 Although Kasey and I both enjoy espresso, we rarely make it at home. When we want a strong and deep bite of coffee at home we brew a pot of Turkish coffee instead. The deep, earthy flavors of Turkish coffee are good anytime, but we particularly enjoy it following a meal. To make Turkish coffee in your home you’ll need an ibrik (also known as a kanaka, cezve, or briki). It’s a special wide-bottom pot that narrows at the neck before widening slightly at the top and which is attached to a long wood handle. Here is how you can make Turkish Coffee at home: 1. It’s important to use the proper grind when preparing Turkish coffee. 2. Add enough cold water to reach just beneath the neck of your ibrik. 3. We often don’t add sugar to Turkish coffee in our home. 4. Use a small spoon to stir the coffee into the water. 5. Heat the coffee over medium heat. 6. Once the foam has settled, return the ibrik to the heat. 7. 8.
