Baked Sunday Mornings: Speculoos Buckeyes
It’s been several weeks since I participated in Baked Sunday Mornings, but I couldn’t pass this one up. I’ve baked thousands of Christmas cookies and experimented with various candies of a December, but have but have never attempted buckeyes despite how much I like them. I have some friends who make buckeyes every Christmas, and [...]

I’m not one to make resolutions (and I realize that we’re at the point in our cultural evolution that it’s totally cliche to say you don’t make resolutions), but I read this a couple of weeks [...]

Pasta e fagioli
This one comes from the current issue of Everyday Food; it jumped out at me as I was planning this week’s menu with an eye toward alternating meatless dinners (this week we’ve had white bean and kale soup, parmesan-crusted chicken tenders, spinach frittata, and turkey meatballs with pasta). Pasta e fagioli is a traditional meatless [...]

Sesame baked tofu
My current dissertation chapter deals with veganism and the ways in which certain subcultures politicize it as a way to represent their particular “communities of meaning.” While I will never, ever give up cheese and ice cream, I do agree that meat consumption — especially that of beef — is unethical in terms of its [...]
