Cracker Cracker!

I was looking for cupcake recipes this past weekend (Seth and Mia's wedding is coming up! Cupcakes for all!) and stumbled upon dear Nigella's Irish Blue Cheese Crackers.

Dear Nigella does seem to have a tiny issue with being a little, ah, forthcoming. But by gum the lady does know how to make a mean cracker.

Unchartered Territory: Vegan Doughnuts

Sounds like a damn horrible idea, right? Let's be honest, most of our ideas about vegan food include the word horrible and often hit the metaphorical nail right on it's head.

No eggs? Ridiculous.

No dairy? Blasphemous.

No animal, no FUN.

Tomatoes and Potatoes

It's less boring than it sounds. My trusty associates and I decided to embark on an adventure of epic proportions for this week's culinary delight: Gnocchi.

Topped with Tomato-Cream sauce and Arugula. Major noms!

Rice is nice...

...but liquor is quicker! Today, you get the best of both worlds with some tasty Saffron and Squash Risotto. A touch above easy but nothing too complicated, with a very comforting and creamy result:

I had this all by itself (a horrid thought to you raging carnivores out there) with a lovely glass of wine. Beringer Pinot Noir, if you must know. I don't know if you're supposed to have risotto with red, white, or grappa, but this sounded tasty.

Ides of March Calls for...Caesar!

Salad, that is. I know the Ides have passed, but that doesn't make this salad any less tasty. Plus, it's another easy recipe that is sure to impress even the most mentally-deficient of your friends. After all, we Italians are always impressive.
