Pretty much every time I go to the grocery store, I see the bananas and think, “Maybe if I get these bananas, I will eat one of those for breakfast instead of a monster cookie.” Then I buy them, and the following happens: There are many things you can do with brown bananas. Banana-coconut muffins […]
My brother calls beer “liquid bread.” So I guess you could call these “bread biscuits.” But that just doesn’t have the same ring to it. We are always stocked up on beer in the EatSwimShop house, courtesy of our Heineken mini-keg and the Beer of the Month club. The specimen above is from the ATL […]
OMG. I was just reading a very serious and important story in the Baltimore Sun… and then I saw this. Duff Goldman, of “Ace of Cakes” fame, now has a line of cake-making supplies. Truthfully, some of them sound a little shady. And I wish the website had some ingredients listed so I could decide […]
This dessert is amazing. It doesn’t take a ton of actual work, but you do have to start making it about 24 hours before you want to serve it. And it is soooo worth it. Imagine cherry pie filling floating on a magical cloud of meringue, whipped cream and marshmallows. If you love sugar (and […]
I was originally going to make barbecue chicken the other day when our friends came over. But then I remembered I had a ton of pork tenderloins and a package of bacon in my freezer that I needed to use. What does that mean? Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, obviously. I learned this recipe in a cooking […]
I love sugar cookies. Love them. There is this family story that involves an elementary-school-age me spending hours arranging individual sprinkles on these miniature Christmas cookies so they would all be perfect (i.e. two blue sprinkles for eyes on an angel cookie, a few yellow sprinkles on her head for a halo). I am a […]
Happy Fourth of July, y’all! We actually kind of had our holiday dinner yesterday, because Toby had to work both days and Hilary’s husband has to work today. So Matt and Hilary came over yesterday. When I was deciding what to make for dinner, this was the only thing I was sure I would make. […]
As most of you probably know, I am not a huge fan of meat but I am also no vegan. Cheese is one of my main food groups. But when I first bought a Crockpot (back in the day), I was looking around on the Internet for recipes and stumbled across this one. It is […]
Last week I went into the Pa. Dutch Farmer’s Market for the first time. O.M.G. I had no idea it was so amazing. But I didn’t have a lot of time, so I just got a smoothie and left. The smoothie (fresh peaches, fresh pineapple and ice) was ridiculously good and I planned to go […]
Key lime pie is probably my favorite thing ever. Good key lime pie — not nasty, green, gelatinous, sorry-excuse-for-key-lime pie. As such, I also love other stuff with key lime juice. And I am actually allowed to eat small amounts of sherbet on this diet. So when my friend Isabel mentioned that she was making […]
