To my Kansas City readers, Kansas City Restaurant Week is almost here!! It starts Friday, which is just three short days away. I am so stoked I can barely sit still. For years I’ve heard my Boston and New York friends talk about Restaurant Week and all the amazing food they go eat at top,…
When you want a different flavor for your everyday burger, but don’t have a lot of time, make a BBQ Burger As far as Burger Week on unResolution Month goes, this recipe is going to be the most simple by leaps and bounds since it just doesn’t have that many toppings. I got the idea…
Next time you make burgers, make Pizza Burgers Pizza and hamburgers are two of the great American junk foods (well, we certainly co-opted them and made them our own anyway.) On one hand you have the gooey cheese, the spices of the tomato sauce, the earthy flavors of the meat, the complexity of the toppings,…
Sometimes an idea comes along that’s so radical, you can’t even it control it. It takes on a life of its own. I had an idea like this once, it was called Fluffernutter Cookie Pizza You see that monster over there. See it? I made it because I love two things in this world: pizza…
I’m hungry for Chocolate Whip Cream Cake So, when I was getting inspired for unResolution Month’s Dessert Week (which, sadly, is coming to an end tomorrow night) I was looking through some photo galleries for the most luxurious desserts, most fattening sweets, and the downright chocolatey-ist things I could find on the planet and I…

We’re 2 years away from the Mayan (Aztec?) apocalypse. Yep, this is an exciting time to be alive! In all seriousness,…
Last night’s foray into Boston cream pie got me thinking about other uses for pastry cream like, say, Banana Cream Pie You know, I like Boston cream pie a lot, but nothing, and people I’m being serious here, nothing beats a banana cream pie when it comes to members of the cream pie family. Plus, it’s…
Today’s unResolution Month post was inspired by Elle from Elle’s New England Kitchen. When asked what her favorite ooey, gooey dessert was, she told me: Boston Cream Pie Specifically, the Boston cream pie from Legal Seafood in Boston, which apparently is absolutely to die for. Since I’ve never had it, I can’t say for sure…
Ready for another unResolution Month-tastic (pretty sure that’s a word, I’ll look it up and get back to you) dessert? Something like Easy Strawberry Short Cakes So, as you know, I’m not much of a baker. It’s not that I don’t like to bake. In fact, there is a certain niceness to it and everyone…
