All summer long, we've been eating loads of fresh fruit with yogurt for breakfast. But now that mornings are starting to get chilly, we're feeling the need for change. This past weekend, we finished o...
Did you know that you can toast nuts in the microwave? Neither did we! Harold McGee mentions it in passing in the section about cooking with nuts in On Food and Cooking, and we thought we'd put it to ...
For such an elegant little dish, eggs en cocotte are remarkably simple to make. We can even do it half-awake on a Saturday morning while we're waiting for the coffee to brew. Oh, and then the absolute...
The way we see it, if you drive out to an orchard and spend a wholesome afternoon picking apples, you've earned a doughnut at the end of the day. Besides apple cider doughnuts are as seasonal as the a...
It's time for Greek yogurt to stop hogging all the attention. This yogurt from Montreal is our new favorite for breakfast. It's outrageously delicious, and we could eat four or five containers at a ti...
It feels like fall is sending us subliminal messages: "It might be the slightest bit chilly outside. Better huddle up and eat sugary carbs. You know you want to." And yes. Yes, we want to very much. F...
Gianduja (jhe-yan doo yah), noun - A smooth spread made of chocolate and ground hazelnuts, from the Piedmont region in Italy. (Variation: Gianduia) Before Nutella, there was gianduja! Do you love thi...
In a much-loved episode of Reading Rainbow (now getting canceled, so sad!), LeVar Burton visits a diner and gets completely bamboozled by the colorful and confusing line cook lingo. We think of this s...
A fried egg over a simple salad or a bowl of grains and veggies is one of the best quick meals we can think of. It follows that frying a good egg is one of the best basic techniques you can know! Here...
Whether we're headed across campus for class or into the office for work, chances are that most of us have a travel mug of something caffeinated in our hands. Chances are even better that your beverag...
No, I don't mean caviar and chocolate covered strawberries, at least not necessarily. The Fancy Food show is a bi-annual event sponsored by the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade and it...
We're not ones for elaborate breakfasts (which is why we've devoted quite a bit of space to grab-and-go recipes and things you can make ahead of time). This is even more true when the weather turns wa...

Do you like granola? We do. We always think about making it ourselves, but never seem to get around to it, sadly. So we jumped at the chance to try out a new online product: MixMyGranola, which lets y...
We've been daydreaming about bagels ever since our discussion of chewy versus soft last week. A good bagel is really a blank slate for so many delicious toppings. What's your favorite?...

Have you ever tried making scrambled eggs in the microwave? They won't win any awards over those cooked on the stove top (or over an open fire!), but these eggs will certainly do a in a pinch. Here's ...
Good morning! We're getting into the swing of things this morning with a bowl of yogurt and a mug of chai tea, though we're craving steel-cut oats after seeing the image above. What did you have for b...
Somewhere along the road to adulthood, Cream of Wheat got pushed aside for steel-cut oatmeal, tricked-out granola, or other fancy things in a bowl. But there are times (like a snowy morning in March) ...
This seems like a truly bizarre combination to us. And yet when we were looking for pictures of waffles a while back, every other picture had fried chicken on the plate. Can anyone enlighten us?...
Many recipes for batter foods like crêpes and our very own Big Pancakes say to let the mixture rest briefly before proceeding to cooking. This may seem like a strange step, but there's more goin...
Here's another great idea for those of us who have to eat breakfast on the go. Flickr member S0mebody 3lse had the great idea to make pancakes in bar form and we're anxious to give it a try......
