Sweet & Salty Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip CookiesThis is my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe, despite my complete willingness to flirt with other recipes. Based on King Arthur's Triple Play Peanut Butter Cookies, it is seriously peanutty, which I appreciate, and the sprinkled grey sea salt on top elevates it to new heights. Thick and chewy and just downright delicious. |

Family Recipes: Butter Crunch 2 WaysWhen John and I first moved in together, he made it clear to me that the holidays were not the holidays without his mom’s special holiday Butter Crunch. He backed this assertion up by making it himself, a fact which is only shocking in light of the fact that he never bakes or makes sweets, he only cooks alone when I am absent, and he… |

Lemon Sour Cream Bundt CakeThis past week marked the beginning of Alex’s birthday celebrations. Plural because I have decided as she gets older and has more friends, it is better to celebrate with friends separately from family, and honestly my in laws separately from my family, just because they live farther away in D.C. and my family lives relatively nearby… |

Bengali Mahi Mahi with Mustard SeedsYou’ve probably noticed the dearth of desserts around The Spiced Life lately. That is partially because we’ve made some tried and true favorites lately, but it is also because I have 2 different recipes that I am determined to not share until I get them right!

Indian Style Wok Cooked Shrimp Curry (Kadhai Jhinga)I hope I translated the name of this dish accurately! It is from a pretty intimidating cookbook that John got me, called Prashad: Cooking with Indian Masters, by J Inder Singh Kalra, who is (was?) an Indian food writer. First published in 1986, the book is intended for an international audience, but either because it is dated or… |

Clinton St. WafflesI have an incorrigible sweet tooth which must be appeased first thing in the morning. So it will not surprise you to learn that I always eat my French toast and waffles dripping with maple syrup–and sometimes slathered in whipped cream.

Shrimp ClemenceauNew Orleans is one of my top 2 favorite food cities of all time (if you’re wondering, Boston is the other). Not a unique choice, I realize, but I have family down there and have spent some time in the city–plus, let’s face it popular foodie destinations are usually popular for a reason. And the best part is that you have an amazing… |
