I’m a junkie. A fiend. I can’t stop, I always want it. I’m partaking now, as I write this column. LEMON. Lemon curd. Lemonade. Lemon coconut balls. Lemon drops. Lemon garlic butter. Lemon cream pie. Lemon sorbet. Lemon bacon grilled cheese. Lemon blueberry muffins. Lemon macarons. Lemon thyme chicken. Lemon bars… seriously, I could keep…
As a follow up to last week’s beer-candied orange peel recipe, I wanted to give you guys another chance to cook with the Southern Tier Choklat Oranj. While the candy is delicious on its own, I wanted to use it to enhance another recipe: orange fudge. I’ve been wanting to make a fudge recipe that uses beer as an…
When I started Bacon & Legs, I was more of a pun fan than a bacon fan. Sure, I loved it. Who doesn’t? ESPECIALLY recovering vegetarians. It was a remarkable treat. But the blog was more or less about fun comfort food with some wit. A few years later and bacon has woven itself into…
I am an unbalanced, quirky kind of girl. The more I learn about people, the less bad I feel about my eccentricities. I suffer from depression and many, many anxieties. I always kind of felt alone in this situation. But it turns out, a lot of you are just as fucked up as I am….
I will spoil all your show shit. Look away if you haven’t watched. A couple of weeks ago, I gave you some fun death-inspired recipes for Game of Thrones. Knowing how ruthless the show runners and Mr. R. R. are about killing off characters, I thought it only fitting to give them all one last…
Lots of show spoilers. Duh. Two years ago, I made Lord Varys’ No Bean Chili and Jon Snow Balls to gear up for Season 3 of Game of Thrones. Last year, I dedicated two columns to the Season 4 premiere: A Feast of Ice and A Feast of Fire. Season 5 is fast approaching and…
Hello, Sweetie, I baked for you. Here’s the thing. I love you all SO MUCH that, for Valentine’s Day, I baked you cookies. But not just any cookies, cookies from the heart. (Just the one though, I’m no Time Lord.) Here’s the other thing. As much as I love you, I love the Doctor more….
Archer is back and … back to normal. After last season’s complete departure (to mixed reviews) from the typical super spy plotlines to the crazy drug-selling, country music-singing Archer Vice, the team is back in the office. The office that has been painstakingly remodeled to look exactly like the old one (with the exception of…
We’re halfway through Hanukkah and on our way to Christmas. Living in a household that celebrates both holidays, I love combining them and making our own traditions. This year, I did just that by making some Gingerbread Challah. If there’s one thing that always disappoints about gingerbread, it’s that it’s not actual bread. If there’s…
I bake cookies for Christmas all the time. Occasionally I throw in some candy or nuts. But how much can you really do with nuts? I wanted to embody what I love about Christmas into one dessert. Every year, just after Thanksgiving… or lately, just before… the Starbucks red cups come out and every year……
