My latest food blog post...
Quoted: During my 30 days of cooking from scratch, people kept telling me they could never do what I was doing. So I feel like I need to confess that this wasn’t exactly a piece of cake for me. There was more than one chocolate meltdown, and a few sushi cravings that almost turned violent.

Kebabs!
Quoted: During my one month of eating from scratch, I had mastered the simplest of kebabs — that is, skewering and grilling whole chunks of meat and/or veggies on a stick. But now that I have more time on my hands (since I’m not busy churning butter and curdling cheese), we decided to take on a more complex kebab by (*gasp*) grinding our own meat.

My latest cooking from scratch endeavor!
Quoted: Making pasta from scratch is a little like being a mad scientist — there’s a lot of room for experimentation, you get to play with cool equipment, and you’re guaranteed to make a mess (which, of course, is half the fun).

My latest blog post...
Quoted: I know — you’re never supposed to say never, and there’s a chance I’ll eat my words. But this cooking from scratch experiment taught me about certain foods that I’ll probably always buy readymade, and other foods that I’ll *probably* never buy again. Strong words, eh?

The end of my 30 days!!
Quoted: Once a month, I get cranky and depressed … when I get my credit card bill, that is. A few happy hours here, a couple sushi dinners there, and next thing you know you’re signing away your first born to Citibank. But lo and behold, my monthly bill was $300 cheaper than my average this time.

My latest blog post...
Quoted: If you think the title of this post sounds vaguely like the end of a game of Clue, well, you’re right. So why would I reference a murder mystery game when I’m writing about plum cobbler? Well, because I somehow managed to convince myself that the plums might kill me, obviously…

I trussed chicken!
Quoted: I guess it’s easy to forget where your meat comes from when you buy it in neatly trimmed, plastic-wrapped portions. So, I decided it was time to overcome my meat fears and hypocrisy … with the help of a roast chicken.

Quoted: Tonight, I want to devote my attention to pasta’s less popular but equally talented step-sibling — polenta.

Quoted: Coq au vin – French for, “Holy crap, I didn’t know chicken could taste this good.”

My latest blog post...
Quoted: Warning: I know that I’m about to sound like Kirstie Alley doing a Jenny Craig commercial. But since I started this experiment, I’ve been eating WELL. We’re talking strawberry shortcake, real butter, whole milk cheese and yogurt, fresh bread, rice, and lots of other treats — and I’ve still solidly lost 6-7 pounds in the last 3 weeks. So what gives?
