Share the Love…and Pass a Plate

I like Valentine’s Day.  I know it’s a somewhat controversial holiday (which ones aren’t, these days?) but I personally appreciate it, for about the same base reason that I like Halloween: you just can’t go wrong with a holiday where a major focus is candy. The second best part of V-Day is the silly cards [...]

Friday Foodie Finds: Jan 14

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a links post, but I’ve been finding so much interesting stuff lately that I figured I should revive the tradition.  Have a cookie and read on for some of the fascinating things the intarwebs have to pique your gastronomical interest. A map of all 50 states with the foods [...]

Friday Foodie Finds: the Ypsilanti edition

So normally on Fridays, I post links to interesting things I’ve found throughout the week.  This Friday, though, I decided to post a slightly different set of links.  Inspired by conversation in the comments section of an article by Nicole, of simmer down! fame, about a day spent hanging out and performing in Ann Arbor, [...]

Friday Foodie Finds: the Brownie Edition

The weather in Michigan has once again turned against me.  Rain, 40 degrees, cloudy.  Spring is definitely here.  It’s enough to make a girl reach for a giant stack of chocolate.  It’s a good thing for me that I have entire shelf in my pantry devoted to chocolate.  Really, I do.  Milk chocolate, semisweet, dark [...]

Friday Foodie Finds: the Who Thought of That? Edition

This week’s fun finds from the internet: You can now get gluten free, vegan apple pie…from Etsy.  For pretty cheap, too.  I don’t know how you make pie without gluten or some sort of animal fat, but apparently somebody does.  Know what else you can get from Etsy?  Marshmallows. Chocolate goat’s milk ice cream.  Because [...]

Friday Foodie Finds: the great one

I’m going to be doing a lot of cooking this weekend, so I need to prepare myself.  I need to get into the “Cooking is Awesome!” frame of mind.  How do that I do that?  I eat some bon-bons and I watch Julie Child make an omelette:

Friday Foodie Finds: the Asian edition

My favorite finds from the internet this week seem to have a predominantly Asian-centric theme. Just Bento’s archive–I don’t know what it is about bento boxes that appeal to me, but they’re fantastic.  I have one of my own; I’ll probably make a post about it soon.  I love planning out my lunches!  It’s fun [...]

Friday Foodie Finds: The Movie

There’s only one link this week…a recipe movie posted by author Karin Slaughter, which was just full of good old-timey WIN.  As a film major and a foodie, I got a kick out of it. Cathy’s Coke Roast

Friday Foodie Finds: Here’s a Tip

This week’s good finds: I found this slideshow from Cooking Light on 25 common cooking mistakes pretty interesting and I’m willing to admit that I commit numbers 2, 9, 10 and 17 on a regular basis and that I’ve done numbers 5 and 23 a couple of times when in a hurry.  But darnit, I [...]

Friday Foodie Finds: What Can Chocolate Do For You?

So here are some good links I’ve stumbled upon recently: This article by Tamara Wilson details the Science Behind the Love of Chocolate. Now that is a research topic I can get behind.  One part in particular I think you will all enjoy, and commit to memory, is this: “Many people may be surprised to [...]
