In anticipation of the rich holiday meals we'll be enjoying over the next few months (and the subsequent leftovers), we're trying to get into the habit of taking salads for lunch. But we know ourselve...
We love bacon as much as the next omnivore, and we love using it in our cooking even more. A slice or two of slowly-rendered bacon is a great way to start off a soup or a braise. Recently, we've start...
We stumbled across this little doozy of a project at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories while researching croutons last week, and...wow. That's all we can say. Wow! This looks labor intensive, but imagin...
Done right, dishes featuring lentils are rich with flavor and oh-so-satisfying to put in our bellies. They're the kind of dishes you want to linger over and scoop up every last bite. Here are nine r...
