Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip

11 Comments May 16, 2013
I happen to think sweet dips-slash-appetizers are brilliant. I mean, salsas and bean dips and spinach artichoke dips are everywhere, right? Every party. Always the same. But sweet dips?

What’s the plan for Mother’s Day? Hmm? If you are a mother, do you cook for yourself or are there little Mother’s Day elves around your house to do the cooking for you? We’ve lived away from family for so long that the idea of spending Mother’s Day with our actual mothers (whom we love [...]

Yeah, yeah, I know yesterday was the big holiday wherein many of you got your fill of Mexican food and here I am posting a Mexican-type recipe today but don’t worry, I’m pretty sure this layered cornbread salad can be found absolutely nowhere in the actual country of Mexico and therefore probably shouldn’t be eaten [...]

25 Comments May 3, 2013
Whether or not this Thai-inspired dish is truly authentic or not, just know that these Asian-whatever-Thai-thingie-noodles are delicious. And simple. How’s that for two 20-minute meals in a week?
