For four years I was in a shopping coma. Each week I drove to the nearest grocery store and wandered the aisles, filling my shopping cart with the same items as the week before. Milk, yogurt, iceberg, ground turkey log, etc. Boring.
Then I started the Global Table project. In just over a month I [...]

This week I decided to attempt the impossible. I know what you’re thinking “But Molly, you already attempted the impossible when you made macarons”. I know, I know. This is partly true. Macarons are a pass or fail creation. Either you do them the right way or they’re a complete disaster. There’s no such thing [...]

Plenty of meals are ruined by cooks trying too hard. In a fit of “inspiration” they put together weird ingredients, hoping to win their customers over with novelty and excitement. Unfortunately, at the end of the meal the customer is just left feeling confused, even cheated. Garlic ice cream, anyone?
There are rare instances, however, when [...]

Albanian food is both simple and mild, perfect for picky eaters and people with the flu.
Picky eaters will love that Albanian dishes rely on just a few ingredients. There are no strange “chunks” swimming in “sliminess.” Of course, you do have to be open minded enough to try the ingredients that they do use (such [...]

It’s sitting in the mailbox. You know it’s been on its way for awhile, yet you secretly hoped it wasn’t going to pan out. Maybe it will got lost, and that would be a good excuse. Wrong. Oh how wrong you were this time. You take it to the bowl on the table which is [...]

Here is a little something from BombFood.com, a website dedicated to over the top, outrageously delicious food. The Polish pizza below was an amazing fit to the description. What foods do you consider as “Bomb” or explosive?
This Polish Sausage Pizza is a mix of two BOMB types of food. You have the Polish [...]

I have two great loves, cheese and sweets. Of course, that’s not counting Jeff Martin, my baby animal-loving husband. There’s also Woody Allen and J. Crew. Okay, let’s just say I have two great food-related loves. Somehow, and I’m not sure of the reason, I fell in love with the two worst things for you. [...]

Not that long ago I was watching Larry King Live. This is not something I ever try to make a habit of, but on this rare occasion I found myself watching an episode with Jack Hannah and baby animals. My husband has this obsession with baby animals that I find precious and somewhat bizarre at [...]

One thing I love about making soup is that it always ends up being special.  I will never forget the story that one of my elementary teachers told me about Stone Soup.  As you may know, the story is about a soup that started off with simply water and stones and as people passed by [...]

This ain’t no ordinary pizza! The best ingredient by far is the Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce (available at http://www.countrybobs.com ). Marinating the chicken in the sauce mixture (Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce + Country Bob’s BBQ Sauce) overnight was the most important step in this process. We decided to use the [...]

This homemade ooey-gooey breakfast sandwich exceeds the McGriddle by far!  Cinnamon rolls made into French toast creates the foundation of this unique beauty.  The middle consists of Crisp applewood bacon drizzled in thick maple syrup atop a layer of pecan halves and fresh strawberries.  All ingredients were purchased at Tulsa’s own Reasor’s grocery paradise.  Mmmmmm….

Do [...]
