Is it a muffin or is it a doughnut?

Is it a muffin or is it a doughnut? by Erin Berdan

Now that I've adjusted (more or less) to rising in the wee hours when our wee one is hungry, I find that the early morning is a fabulous time to cook. My husband also seems pretty happy about it. Last weekend, Saturday morning found me up at 5:30. With the sun just rising and cool temperatures, it seemed like the perfect time to make…

Cilantro Lime Shrimp

Cilantro Lime Shrimp by Erin Berdan

To me, shrimp and chicken are like blank slates - they adapt to so many flavors and cooking styles. Both make frequent appearances in my house since they're easy to keep in the freezer and they're relatively inexpensive. Needless to say, I'm always on the lookout for new recipes for both - especially ones that will work on the grill.…

Olive and goat cheese tart

Olive and goat cheese tart by Erin Berdan

Lately I've been seeing a lot of fabulous recipes on other blogs - I've been bookmarking them like mad and have actually found time to try a few. The ingredients in this one should leave no guesses as to why I decided to give it a try: olives, goat cheese and rosemary. Need I say more?? Oh and it's also from Todd English. Several…

Salted caramel walnut brownies

Salted caramel walnut brownies by Erin Berdan

I was all set to make coconut swirl brownies. The recipe was on the counter, and I'd noted the two things I needed from the grocery store. It was a done deal - and then I saw a post from Brown Eyed Baker for salted caramel brownies. Bye-bye coconut, hello salted caramel. I love the combination of salty and sweet - the way the salt…

Triple chocolate toffee walnut cookies

Triple chocolate toffee walnut cookies by Erin Berdan

In my kitchen, I have two cabinets dedicated to baking - one side has mixing bowls and such and the other is jam-packed with nuts, chips, sprinkles, extracts, etc. Over time, I end up with small amounts of numerous different things: a half cup or so each of a bunch of different things. Thus, these cookies! I use a basic cookie recipe…

The perfect little "e-Claire" plus Mediterranean lamb burgers by Erin Berdan

So I've been missing for almost a month now. But I've had a little something in the works that required my full attention. I was perfecting my little "e-Claire". This little cream puff was born on July 20th. I can't really call her little since she…

Chicken cutlets with white wine and garlic over angel hair

Chicken cutlets with white wine and garlic over angel hair by Erin Berdan

Tonight's dinner is one of my husband's favorite, which is fortunate for me because it's easy! Fresh parsley makes it taste the best, but use dried if it's all you have. During the summer (like today) I cut it fresh from my herb garden...Put flour in plastic bag and add some salt and fresh ground pepper. Shake chicken to coat. Heat…

So here you go Tracy, you guys should be pulling into Petrolia right about now!Cinnamon Almond granola(or really whatever…

Eggs Flamenco

Eggs Flamenco by Erin Berdan

I'm a Food Network junkie. I admit it. I love those shows - some of them at least. My new favorite is Chef Anne Burrell's Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. I first became familiar with Burrell in her role a sous chef to Mario Batali on Iron Chef America. On Secrets, she makes a wide range of restaurant dishes at home. Her energy is great…

Lamb and Cucumber Kebabs with Feta Sauce

Lamb and Cucumber Kebabs with Feta Sauce by Erin Berdan

I always feel a certain sense of accomplishment when I make a recipe from one of my magazines. It's most likely because I read through stacks of magazines, tear out countless recipes and then do nothing with the vast majority of them. They end up in all corners of my house: on tables, in the office, folded in cookbooks... But few of…
