Adventures in my Kitchen

I used to be terrified of cooking. I started cooking with my boyfriend and actually discovered how fun and relaxing it is. I love having people over and organizing parties, so hopefully you'll get to taste my "beginners" food someday :)

Shelby Hoffman This is actually VERY dangerous!

Melissa Carter tried it. my toaster shuts off automatically. safety feature. if yours doesn't shut off, i'd suggest changing toasters. just use the broil in your oven.

Picture of divya

Divya Silbermann (Bhaskaran) haha. ok. wont try this. Thanks all!

Picture of phinefish

sj it's actually not that bad if you use a not-runny cheese. I do it at work occasionally, where I have no broiler handy. I DO, however, have a fire extinguisher handy. And I would not do this on *much* older model toasters.

Divya Silbermann (Bhaskaran) i made this last night. amazingly delicious and really easy to make. Only correction - not very healthy. The bacon has some fat, the pasta is carbs and the sun-dried tomato has a lot of sodium. But the Kale is healthy and yummy!

Danae Faszer I love all these ingredients! WOW CARBS MMMMMM :O

Ben Silbermann So these were really really good. I think what's interesting is the high percentage of brown sugar in the recipe vs. tollhouse recipes. Tasty all around. Highly recommended.

Preserved Lemon's: On my list of things to make sometime. Maybe one week when i have lots of time.

Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Olives and Preserved Lemons : even though it's Halloween, i think i'm going to make some Moroccan chicken tonight- maybe over cilantro rice and raita. :)

Divya Silbermann (Bhaskaran) I made this last night. Delicious! I did not have Harissa, but added Garam masala instead. I added yellow peppers to the dish and fresh cubed lemon's since i did not have preserved lemon's. Side: Raita as usual :)
