UnRecipe: Tackling Pizza the Hut and Wishing the Schwartz Was With Me

UnRecipe: Tackling Pizza the Hut and Wishing the Schwartz Was With Me by Denise Sakaki

We try to eat mindfully. We try to make good choices when it comes to meals. But sometimes you just have to say the hell with it all: I want deep dish, ooey-gooey pizza. I became literally possessed with the Pizza Demon, more specifically, Deep Dish…

OMG a Recipe: Ho-Ho-Holiday Home Stretch

OMG a Recipe: Ho-Ho-Holiday Home Stretch by Denise Sakaki

Can you believe we're almost through the holidays? Through the YEAR, even? Thanksgiving flashed by before our eyes. Christmas -- here and gone in a flash. And New Years Eve...?! Sure, you can go out, but many gatherings are with family and friends, so you're expected to bring something else a little more festive than a sixer of High…

OMG a Recipe: Ho-Ho-Holiday Gift Emergency? Don't Panic, Have a Cheese Cracker

OMG a Recipe: Ho-Ho-Holiday Gift Emergency? Don't Panic, Have a Cheese Cracker by Denise Sakaki

I'm interrupting my Germany/France posts for a couple of weeks because I realized, holy crap, it's the holidays! And I'm sure you've been like me, doing all the frenzied last-minute buying, baking, wrapping of gifts. Or maybe not. Maybe you, too, are…

FoodTrek: Cruise Cuisine, aka, "Cruisine"

FoodTrek: Cruise Cuisine, aka, "Cruisine" by Denise Sakaki

You probably already saw a bit of the whirlwind trip we took in early November over Twitter -- we literally hopped aboard a river ship and cruised our way along the Rhine River, through Germany and France. Incredible, right? We were long overdue for a big vacation, and it was a reminder of why a bit of an adventure, even an easy,…

OMG a Recipe: Pledge Yourself to Produce!

OMG a Recipe: Pledge Yourself to Produce! by Denise Sakaki

We are entering the season of stewed meats, creamy soups and anything you can melt cheese on, which means the thought of a plate of fresh greens seems to dissipate like a summer breeze. True, it's much more appealing to think of having chilled salads for meals when it's a sweltering hot day, but there's no reason the refrigerator…

Mixed Plate: Eggs-actly the Book You've Been Waiting For

Mixed Plate: Eggs-actly the Book You've Been Waiting For by Denise Sakaki

There's a Sriracha-themed cookbook, there's likely more than one bacon cookbook, so it was only a matter of time before someone not only did an all-egg cookbook, but one that took advantage of the meme-riff on Portlandia's "Put a Bird on it" skit. I give you, Lara Ferroni's "Put an Egg On It." Pasta carbonara "nests" inspired by Lara…

Mixed Plate: An Oh-Fishally All-Seafood Post

Mixed Plate: An Oh-Fishally All-Seafood Post by Denise Sakaki

Back to my own personal battle with seafood -- Ivar's was one of the many Washington eateries that got me initiated into eating more seafood. I still don't eat as much as I should, according to whatever Food Pyramid we're supposed to be following these days, but I always liked their Puget Sound White Clam Chowder. Buttery, creamy,…

OMG a Recipe: Mixing Things Up at the Hobbit Ultralounge

OMG a Recipe: Mixing Things Up at the Hobbit Ultralounge by Denise Sakaki

It's a oft-said saying that Nature abhors a vacuum, and that's true for many things, even with food and drink. If you stick with a narrow menu of items, even if they're your favorite things to eat or drink, you're missing out on a world of possibilities. I'm the most guilty of this vacuum, settling into Hobbit-like comfort zones and…
