Here’s how she made it, in her own words: “Hi Ladies: Thanks for your “cooking along” week for soups.  I didn’t cook each day, but I was VERY inspired by your chili …

~~posted by Jen It’s almost Turkey Day! What better time for the boys to decide we need to remodel my kitchen? I got home from Baltimore on Monday night to find the whole house in utter chaos. My camera is nowhere to be found, and I haven’t been able to get in my kitchen to cook all. week. long. This …

~by Nikki So…corndog bites. Why for, right? Well, if you’ve read this blog for a while, and have seen my forays with Thai Chicken and Banana Bon-Bons, you know that I have a certain affection for food on a stick. Well I’d been thinking lately that I need to add to my collection of stick food offerings on the blog …

~~posted by Jen First, a shout out to everyone who cooked along during Soup Week a couple weeks ago and sent in their pictures and recipe modifications. We’ll be sharing the submissions all week.

~by Nikki We’ve gotten great reviews of our decision to start doing recipe remixes. And we’ve even got a reader submission–from our friend Jane! Now Jane totally saved my butt his week. I was scheduled to do a restaurant remix this week, but unfortunately life got in the way. You may not know this, but during the day I work …

I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it! I’m about to lose control…and I think I like it! (Dear Nik: the Pointer Sisters called and said, “cease and desist.” That is all.) So, if you are our fan on Facebook, you saw that I posted yesterday that I received my shipment of P-28 bread. After Jen’s review and delicious …

~~posted by Jen Mini Meatloaf ready to eat! I was torturing y’all a couple weeks ago about my discovery of a non-carb binder for meatloaf, remember? I promised to tell you what it was, then Soup Week came along, and the meatloaf recipe got back-burnered. Well, it was pretty rude of me to leave y’all hanging like that, so I …
