I've always loved food. The taste, texture, smell...you get the idea. Since I've been tall enough to reach the stove, I've been cooking. One thing I never did as a kid was bake bread. As a science geek, baking bread
A twist on classic macaroni salad - I toss the pasta with a creamy sauce made from sauteed green onions, then add lots of black pepper, arugula, diced apple, and lemon juice to the bowl.
A pastry that's French-inspired, party-perfect and dead easy. Serve it as a warm meatless appetizer, or have a slice with a warm bowl of soup for a simple lunch or dinner.
These are rich, yummy layered squares that require no bowl or mixing. They are very easy to make and come out wonderful. (I have no idea where the name came from...got these out of a 30 year old women's club cookbook.) 12/23/08: Butter amount changed to reflect the advice and opinions in reviews. Thanks!

I love a challenge. When I was urged to create a recipe for homemade pizza rolls for a Super Bowl snack, I knew it'd be an interesting project. But first I had to sample the pizza rolls...
A simple bowl of white bean soup graces my table. It has a garlicky broth with little specks of oregano floating among the beans, and a beautiful reddish tint from tomato paste. Finally, in contrast to the beans, I find
An elegant, comforting bowl of pho usually requires blanching beef bones and then simmering them with spices for hours Andrea Nguyen, a cookbook author who lives in drought-plagued California, wanted the same effect but in a recipe that used less water and less energy This broth can be put together in less than an hour
It's peach season here, which means it's time for me to whip up a big batch of Crunchy Granola. A bowl of fresh, juicy peach slices, topped with granola and drizzled in cream is out of this world. (This recipe...

I'm not sure if it is popular or in anymore (I'm not sure if anything I do is popular or in anymore...) but I love and adore oatmeal. In fact, the only thing I'd rather have for breakfast than a creamy bowl of oatmeal is one of Mama's ham and cheese omelets like she used to make me.

This is a fabulous potato soup recipe. I have been making this for years. It is an recipe from a restaurant called The Machine Shed. I am always asked to make it by my family as well as for big gatherings. We also have it on Halloween every year before the kids go Trick-O-Treating.

This easy recipe — a grownup take on a childhood classic — falls on the delightfully relaxed end of things. Sliced peaches are tossed in a toasted brown butter sauce and finished off with a crown of barely whipped cream. To me it feels like summer in a bowl.
