Recipes To Use Up Leftover Egg Whites
Often bakers and ice cream-lovers will find themselves with a few too many egg whites leftover. So what to do with all of them? It seems I always have a container in the refrigerator and more often than not, I make a big batch of Chocolate-Coconut Macaroons. One batch gets baked (and eaten) right away and I freeze the other half in a freezer bag, which is great to have on hand for emergencies. Liquid egg whites can be frozen just as they are.

I’m sorry for doing this to you. I really am. But see, last Friday while I was on a 10-hour road trip heading for vacation, I received this recipe from a reader named Liz. Liz, I love you.
Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes
“Scalloped” is an attractive word, isn’t it? When I hear it I think of several things: first, there’s scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious. Then there’s the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman’s blouse—always pretty and dainty. And of course scalloped potatoes also comes to mind, which carries my imagination to a land of crispy potato skins drenched in a sea of cheese and cream.

Two posts in one day? It probably hasn’t happened since the first year I started blogging. Anyway, I had a little bit of fun after shooting some naturally-dyed sugar crystals and turning them into pretty sprinkles for a cool baker‘s upcoming book project.
a food blog: Egg White Cake Recipe
Have you been making ice cream or perhaps zabaglione recently? If yes, then you're left with lots of egg whites. Last weekend we had blackberries with zabaglione at friends' place, and were left with 6 egg whites after that. K. had already made the most beautiful macarons for the New Year's Eve party (see Flickr photo set here), so I had to come up with another idea.
» Tangy Lemon Curd The Endless Meal
As I write this post today I sit here with my wooliest sweater on, a steaming mug of hot lemon ginger tea by my side, and my faux fur lined aviator style toque on my head. I’m not outside. I’m sitting in my favourite coffeeshop/restaurant/art gallery that I’ve come to think of as an extension of my living room. It’s freezing in here, ridiculously freezing outside. When it gets cold here on the west coast, which it doesn’t often, us locals tend to complain about it, while the rest of the country laughs at our whimpiness. So now you know, I’m a complete whimp when it comes to the cold.
A brownie by any other name…
Love brownies. Love their shiny, flaky top that shatters into micro-thin shards that shower onto your fingers as you eat. Love their dark, gooey center. Their “chocolate nirvana” flavor. Sometimes can’t deal with the bake, wait to cool, cutting into squares messiness and fuss of brownies.
Broccoli Cheese Soup: Panera Bread Copycat Recipe
On Wednesday my sister and I volunteered to make the soup supper to go with the Advent service at church. Before you go thinking I'm some kind of charitable, goodhearted soul, I must tell you that the only reason that I do it is because I LOVE COOKING. In case you hadn't figured that out yet. Okay, so I was like, "Whadaya think, Nemo? Will two huge pots of soup, a crockpot full of barbequed meatballs, five trillion chicken salad sandwiches, fifty thousand and two loaves of bread, and a couple bazillion desserts cover it?" Well, it would have, except everybody had to try a huge bowl of BOTH kinds of soup AND meatballs.

I needed a big wood scoop for a job, so I ran to Etsy and into Kim Kelly’s Woodward Gardens Botanicals. I ended up purchasing far more spoons than one person needs. Hooray, self-control. But look at the curves! The different types of woods! Dear Santa: If there truly is such a thing as reincarnation, sign me up for a career as a skilled wood carver and/or ceramicist so that I can make pretty things like these and stare at them all day.
