I’m officially in the home stretch of my first year of business school. Yay! At this point I have a final and a take home final separating me from summertime. The past few weeks have been busy with visitors, weekend excursions and general lollygagging which means I’ve been super lazy about buying groceries. […]
In a previous post I wrote about making paneer from scratch. It was super easy and without a doubt I will only make my own paneer vs. buying it going forward (especially since I saw a pack of the stuff for $4.99 at No Frills!). Once I made the paneer I […]
After my recent ricotta-making success I decided to try my hand at making some other cheeses. I was planning on making mozzarella but I have to order cheese-making supplies and that is kind of expensive so I decided to make paneer. I love ordering Saag Paneer when I go out […]
I’m forever on the hunt for amazing macaroni and cheese recipes. Sure, macaroni and cheese is easy enough to make but I’m always looking to find the perfect ration of pasta to cheese to bechamel. My last attempt at mac and cheese was pretty lackluster so I wanted to step up […]
Part of my love for cooking comes from my thriftiness and desire to eat foods closer to the source. I started baking my own bread because I was tired of seeing High Fructose Corn Syrup or Glucose/Fructose in the supermarket stuff. Another candidate for tackling myself has been making […]

With all that in mind I decided to head over to the […]

When I saw that one of this month’s Barefoot Bloggers recipes (chosen by Kathy at All Things Considered) I was thrilled – I’ve actually made
Dear Baked Ziti,
You were only kind of delicious.
When I see a recipe in Cook’s Illustrated I expect it to be the best of the best. But alas the baked ziti didn’t hit a home run. Now don’t get me wrong, the baked ziti was yummy but it didn’t rival the baked […]
I feel like I tend to write mainly about my cooking successes. But sometimes things just don’t work out as planned. Case in point the “Classic Macaroni and Cheese” from Cooks Illustrated.
I had high expectations for this dish. Cooks Illustrated is known for testing the heck out of the recipes and being […]
Oh Giada, what a complicated affair we have!
When Giada first came onto the Food Network scene I ADORED her. I thought her recipes were delicious, simple and a good way of doing Italian without getting to fancy with it. But over the years things changed. The shirts got lower, the manicures […]
