After the folks @ SaintDelivery mentioned the amazing $1 Sliders at Marco Polo Cafe (102 St. Marks, near 1st Avenue) I decided that I had to try them out for myself.  Needless to say, I’ve been there 3 times in the last 4 days;[...]

Cherry Almond Bars

I wait in nervous anticipation for cherry season to arrive every year.  Sweet, deep, red cherries that are like little bursts of joy on my tongue.  Bright red, tart cherries that perfume the pies and cobblers of mid-summer.  The[...]

Maple Oatmeal Bread

I have a new favorite toasting bread...and it goes by the name of Maple Oatmeal.  The name is a bit misleading, though.  I mean sure...it has oats in it...it also has maple syrup in it...but it doesn't taste like oats OR maple[...]

These warm apricot-hued beauties have been hanging around just waited to be talked about for a little over a month now...and I think it's about time they received some praise.  A second round of praise.  While the fact that they are[...]

It's been quite a while since Giada and I hung out in the kitchen.  I think we were initially so busy with the holidays and family and cooking up a storm...in our own respective kitchens...that we just never found the time to[...]
