Inspired by booze-infused baked goods, I thought I'd share some recent baking shenanigans. While this features a gluten-rich chocolate whoopie pie adapted recipe, I'm also including a gluten-free chocolate cake recipe that you… |

UnRecipe: An Egg-splosion of Flavor!Don't give me that look of, "...but Easter was, like, FOREVER ago."

OMG a Recipe: This Drink Will Go Straight to Your RosehipsSo what does rosehip-infused gin taste like? Basically tart, floral gin; definitely a mixer, not something you'd just sip. I wouldn't say it's sweet, but it's got that zesty freshness of spring to it, and the color is gorgeous, perfect for making a beautiful cocktail, no artificial food dyes required. I could see myself making a gin… |

UnRecipe: What Up Shorty - Asian Cooking ShortcutsCutting corners on making traditional Asian cuisine?!!! All the Tiger Moms out there want to beat me with a bamboo cane for daring to suggest such a thing. They already lament my not being a doctor, or marrying a doctor, or not having six overachieving children who are on their way to becoming a doctor. Hell, I don't even hold… |

UnRecipe: Cook Whatcha GotA new year often prompts a bit of reflection. I'll keep my reflective thoughts specific to this blog, but I realized how much my personal cooking behavior has changed since starting the blog many years ago (2008/2009 - whew, that's a lot of posts).

OMG a Recipe: Holiday Eats and Treats on the Move!I admit, I'm remiss on the holiday hoopla on the blog this year, not that we haven't decorated the house or put up a tree -- the house is festooned with festive-ness! I just haven't had a chance to take proper photos and post accordingly, but feel free to peek at our holiday shenanigans on my Instagram feed. I will share some of the… |

FoodTrek: Get Whisked Awhay to Whistler for a Wheekend!Whistler for a weekend?! Don't forget Wil Wheaton and Wheat Thins! It's rare that I get to use the so-often underused letter "W," so pardon my enthusiasm. Last week, I tantalized with a recap of this year's Cornucopia food/wine festival in Whistler BC, but, as promised, I wanted to share some truly wonderful dining experiences that… |
