Filed under: Snacks, Recipes, Trends, America, Summer I am all about pickles. One of my favorite eating sensations is when you chomp into a kosher dill and the sweet-salty brine makes your cheeks cave in. Yeah, that's good stuff. Y'know what else I like? Kool-Aid. Because even hyperexaggerated interpretations of fruit deserve their own flavor ...

Filed under: Lunch, Breakfast, Snacks, Recipes, Trends, America, Vegetarian/Vegan A diet that consists solely of raw food can be intimidating and a little jarring if you're not used to it. But despite its associations with body ''cleanses'' and hippy-dippy living, it's really a welcomed change from the overly-cooked, overly-fussed with food many ...

Filed under: Pop Food, Recipes, Trends, Comfort Food, Holidays I've learned three things about making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches over the years: 1. Creamy and chunky are both great. 2. They taste terrible with a Diet Coke. 2. Never use Wonder Bread. It tears too easily. November is National Peanut Butter Lover's Month. Here's a bunch of ...

Filed under: Recipes, Trends, Shellfish, Holidays Now here's something I just can't do: bring myself to think about fried clams on November 1. November is the time for apples and Thanksgiving and football. Fried clams belong in July or August, the months of humidity, beaches, and sides of cole slaw.

Hello National Pasta Day! I could spend the entire day just doing posts for pasta, it's such a versatile food, but I can't do that. Instead, here are ...

Filed under: Recipes, Trends, Holidays One of my great food memories is getting together with my best friend and making tacos. We'd get all the fixings - beef, lettuce, shredded cheese, tomatoes, etc - and really make an event of it. Tacos is one of those meals you probably don't have as much when you become an adult - unless you're rushing ...

Filed under: Recipes, Baking, Trends, Holidays There are very few activities that you can do that are as good as making cookies. Maybe playing a favorite sport or listening to your favorite CD or maybe even sex. But there's just something special about making homemade cookies. Today is Homemade Cookies Day, which means if you go to the store ...

Filed under: Beef, Recipes, Trends, Holidays I've had corn beef exactly one time in my life, about 20 years ago. I was over a good friend's house and his wife made it, and I thought I was going to be sick. Nothing wrong with the way that she made it, I just don't like corned beef (which I quickly discovered that night). The entire meal was a ...

Filed under: Breakfast, Recipes, Trends, Holidays Finally. After a couple of days of food holidays like National Crab Newburg Day and National Cherries Jubilee Day, here's something I can really sink my teeth (and fork) into. Not that I do that often, actually. The only time I seem to eat pancakes is if I go out for breakfast, which isn't ...
