The first week of the new year is a challenging one for me. While most of the world seems eager to get the holidays packed away by the first of the year, and to make resolutions about their diet, I am still celebrating. On the secular calendar the holiday season ends on January 1st but, traditionally, January 1st is only the midpoint of the Christmas season. On the liturgical calendar the Christmas season doesn’t end until January 6, the twelfth day of Christmas, which is also known as EpiphaTried & Trues
If you know me, or if you've ever read my blog According to Kelly, you know that I'm the first to admit that I'm not a gourmet chef. To be perfectly honest, when it comes to cooking, I'm not exactly the "adventurous" type. I'm definitely not the type of gal who can throw a few ingredients together (without a recipe), & have it come out tasting great. & since I'm confessing all of my kitchen secrets, I'm pretty much intimidated by cookbooks - words on a page just aren't enough for me to imagine hMy First Blogiversary (w/a givaway)
A year ago I started this blog after being an avid reader/lurker of other food and parenting blogs. It's been a fun year of recording favorite recipes, new experiments and thoughts but what I love most is the variety of great, creative people I've met through blogging.

This is a similar type of cake as the chocolate pudding cakes of new years eve, in the sense that you make a cake batter, sprinkle it with a sugar mixture, dot with butter, and then pour boiling water over it. It's the type of cake that doesn't make any sense, yet is so delicious and magical when it's done. I make this cake every year for Christmas, and a few times in between, because I love caramel, it is a forgiving recipe, and this is a fairly easy cake to whip up. It doesn't require anything
I’d never heard of Monkey Bread until a few weeks ago. The name immediately caught my attention. The image of monkeys picking at a loaf of bread as they would nits off each other’s backs came to mind. Charming, I thought. I wanted to know more about it.Not that there’s much to know.The etymology is vague. The term “Monkey Bread” has several possible origins: some people believe that the bread resembles the shape of a monkey puzzle tree, but I feel that these people are out of their heads, perhapGluten Free Food - Cooking Tips For Coeliac Disease

photo by roboppy Canned fruit often goes on sale. While you prefer fresh, the low price and convenience are hard to beat. Open your pantry, and you might find you’ve got quite a few cans. Instead of opening it and simply dumping it into a bowl, you can use that fruit in delicious dessert recipes. Don’t toss out the leftover juice or syrup. Use it in gelatin (replacing some of the water), muffin and cake mixes, pour over meats, mix into your own homemade icing or freeze into cubes and use wheTop Chef New York Episode Seven - When The Booze Is Gone, It's Time To Move On
Welcome back!! After what seemed like an eternity, Top Chef finally returned last night. Now is usually when I mention what happened during the previous episode – but the last episode was so lame that I’m not going to talk about it. It was so pitiful that Bravo didn’t even repeat it before the new episode last night. And if BRAVO won’t repeat it, you just know that is some lame stankness. Bravo is still repeating Step It Up and Dance, for goodness sake.It’s morning in Brooklyn, and the CheftestaIt's a 2009 HiP-HOp!!!!

Bonnie over at Nap Time News sent me this recipe for a 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake. I don’t like chocolate but I thought it would be fun to make for Chad and Vince so I had to try it just to be sure it was edible. What sounds too good to be true usually is, you know? Not this time! Instead of using 2 T. cocoa, I used just one and I didn’t put any chocolate chips in there but I did pour in a little cherry syrup.

Language scholar and philosopher Paul Grice developed a theory of communication in 1975 that linguists use today. It is such a simple, elegant theory that it goes beyond the realm of scientists and teachers, and truly enlightens the daily communication activities of everyday communicators. Grice describes one common underlying principle—what he calls the cooperative principle and four conversational maxims. He suggests that all communication can be understood by understanding this principle and Mini Sacher

It started with a conversation about a cake "like my mother made," and when you have a friend whose mother last made this cake before 1970, you're actually interested in seeing if you can recreate it. Pineapple upside-down cake with red maraschino cherries? Sure, it's the perfect 1950's dessert -- lots of butter, sugar and rum. Sounds like a perfect choice for the first cake of the new year.(This cake isn't remotely vegan, and our friend isn't either. But we love him anyway.)A lot of 50's recipeAre You There, Emmy?

Blame it on us in the US for pushing aside the fairycake, the traditional British staple at birthday parties in favor of the new darling, well not so new here in America, the cupcake. Or so says Zoe Williams in The rise of the cupcake (Guardian, January 8, 2009). She notes that "when Pearl Lowe got married a few weeks ago, it was with cupcakes and canapes. Kate Moss was there. So there's a possibility, albeit a slim one, that Moss has eaten one." It all goes back she writes to the 1996 opening |
