Tequila and Lime Turkey Chili
OK everyone, put on your game hat and pull out the tequila ’cause it’s game time! What could possibly be better fare for the Super Bowl than this tequila and lime turkey chili? It’s hearty, it’s meaty, it’s easy, it’s boozy, and it is Deeelicious with a capital D (and some extra “e”s apparently). I […]

Eye of the Dragon (Lychee Martini)
Happy Lunar New Year! The lunar new year may have started on Monday, but the Chinese celebrate for 15 days, so why shouldn’t you? You have plenty of time to kick off the year of the dragon with this lychee martini appropriately named Eye of the Dragon. When a rep from Bulldog Gin sent me this […]

Lightened Up Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Ok, with that streak of six straight cookie/bar recipes interrupted only by a cocktail recipe still weighing on my conscience, I figured maybe it was about time for something, I don’t know, with a little less butter and sugar. First up was the wild mushroom, zucchini and goat cheese frittata, and now, broccoli cheddar soup. […]

Wild Mushroom, Zucchini, and Goat Cheese Frittata (and a Giveaway!)
I woke up this morning with a mission: make a frittata. Even though I’ve eaten many a frittata ordered at a restaurant, I’ve never actually made one at home before. And what with all the cookies, holiday parties (you’d think those would be over by now, but my office just got around to our party […]

Chocolate Turtle Cookies
I hope you’ve saved room for one last cookie recipe, because these were my favorites of the season! When Steph, the social media manager from America’s Test Kitchen, sent me a copy of America’s Test Kitchen Holiday Cookies 2010 Special Issue I had a hard time deciding which cookies to make. I asked Joseph if he […]

Marvelous Chocolate Mint Cookies
I know, I know. It’s the first week of January. The holidays are over and you’re cookied out. But we haven’t had the full 12 days of Christmas so the holidays aren’t really over yet, are they? Plus, it’s not too late to celebrate the new year! Because I still have two more cookie recipes […]

Cranberry Ginger Cocktail
Between the scent of fresh pine in the air, festive lights everywhere, lots of time with family, and spectacular food, this is just about my favorite time of year. This year has been especially fun because we spent Christmas with my two nieces: Amelia, who is 3, and Sophie, who is just a couple of months old. This […]

Black and White Holiday Bark With Cranberries
The second cookie (well, not really cookie, but work with me here) that I chose from the America’s Test Kitchen Holiday Cookies 2010 Special Issue was this black and white holiday bark. The second I saw it I knew I had to make it. America’s Test Kitchen calls it a bark and I suppose therefore […]

Jubilee Jumbles (aka Fruitcake Cookies)
Steph, the awesome social media manager at America’s Test Kitchen, sent me the ATK Holiday Cookies 2010 Special Issue and just a week after I got it in the mail, it looks like I’ve had it for over a year. Steph said it’s her favorite and I can see why. As I flipped through the […]

Cranberry Turtle Bars
I was all set to make the cranberry crunch bars from Moosewood Desserts for a potluck at work, but then I saw these cranberry turtle bars on Beantown Baker and I just couldn’t get them out of my head. I had to make them. I was a little nervous about making caramel since I’m always […]

Cherry Pecan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (and a Giveaway from America’s Test Kitchen!!)
Ok, so maybe I did just make oatmeal cookies, but I got some dried sour cherries and pecans from Oh Nuts and then I happened to notice that my Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook has a recipe for cherry pecan oatmeal chocolate cookies. It was fate. I had to make them! It’s no secret that I’m a […]

Holiday Gift Guide: Kitchen Essentials
I just can’t believe that’s we’re already almost halfway through December. On top of the usual business of the season, work is starting to get a little crazy (not to mention the fact that we just moved to a new office building!). Joseph and I are pretty behind on our Christmas shopping and cookie baking, […]

Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts
I had never heard of cider doughnuts until my first visit to my in-laws in central Massachusetts, but it became clear from the very first utterance that they were something very special. Joseph and his brother, Mark, were talking about cider doughnuts like they were just about the best thing on Earth. I nodded and […]

Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies (and a Giveaway!!)
If you’ve been reading Pixelated Crumb back since the beginning, you’ll know that I don’t really like raisins in most baked goods. I don’t like the texture or flavor that they add. I guess when it comes right down to it, I’m just not a raisin fan. When I get trail mix I find myself […]

Ginger-Garlic Tofu
Phew! I can’t believe it’s only been a week since Thanksgiving. I don’t know about you, but I’m still reveling in the memory of all that great food. Since we left all the leftovers (or what remained of them!) back in DC on Monday, Joseph and I have had to fend for ourselves again back […]

Bourbon Baked Apple Sorbet
Since my sister and brother-in-law were driving all the way from Philadelphia to Boston just for Apple Day, I figured I may as well get the celebration started early and I decided the best way to do that was with a recipe from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home. Jessica and Adam were the ones […]

Apple and Quince Tarte Tatin
A little over a year ago, Joseph and I began a new tradition that my sister and brother-in-law started years ago: Apple Day. You can get the full description of Apple Day straight from my sister in this post from last year (please pardon the photos, we were still working things out), but basically it’s […]

Sweet Potato and Kale Pizza
Remember my sweet potato and kale craving and my accidental overabundance of kale? Well, when I saw this pizza on Two Peas and Their Pod, I knew I had to have it. I counted the days and minutes until I could have it and we finally got to make it last weekend. And again this […]

Pasta With Sweet Potatoes, Tomatoes, Garlicky Kale, and Bacon
I woke up one morning a few weeks ago craving sweet potatoes and kale. It just felt like the perfect fall veggie combo and even though it may seem like all I eat around here in the fall are pumpkiny baked goods, I do in fact still eat vegetables (well, vegetables that aren’t baked up […]

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies
These chocolate chip pumpkin cookies have long been a favorite of mine. They’re a soft, cakey, pumpkin spiced cookie made even better with bittersweet chocolate chips. I made them once for a potluck when I was in college and a boy that I may or may not have had a huge crush on informed me […]
