January 19, 2010Minty Chocolate Crackle Cookiesby SporkorFoonI love chocolate crackle cookies. These festive cookies, with their craggly white tops and paths of chocolate peeking through, are the ultimate Christmas cookie to me. I decided that I wanted to change it up a bit, though, and add some mint to the mix. I've been loving chocolate and peppermint this season

January 11, 2009 My First Attempt at Fondant! by Teanna DiMicco of SporkorFoon A friend of mine asked me to make her daughter's first birthday cake. She sent me a photo of the dress her little girl would be wearing and asked if I could design a cake that reflected the dress. It was a whimsical purple dress with green tulle and purple roses around the waistline. I

Chocolate Pumpkin Pie by Teanna DiMicco of SporkorFoon.com First thing is first. I am IN LOVE with this chocolate tart recipe. Sweet,tender, with hints of spice, it is topped off beautifully with a layer of melted bittersweet chocolate that adds the perfect, unexpected layer of chocolate delight. The tart is a perfect vessel for the creamy, spicy pumpkin pie, the

Pumpkin Challaaaaaaaaaah! by Sporkorfoon In college, my roommates and I would always yell out "Challaaaaaaaaaaaah!" (Like, Holla! but with the "ch" sound). I graduated college in 2003 and to this day, I still do that. Since I would like to impress my future in-laws (who are Jewish), I made some pumpkin Challah like a good little shiksa would. Sure, they live 250 miles

Butternut Squash Rigatoni with Prawns by SporkorFoon This is one of my favorite recipes ever. And healthy (zing!). You see, the creaminess of the butternut squash tricks your mind into thinking you are eating something laden with cream and cheese, but you're really not. Genius. The sweet addition of basil and the sharp bite of the parmesan cheese really amps this dish

Poulet Roti- Roast Chicken by Spork or Foon Inspired by Shari of Whisk: A Food Blog, I joined Whisk Wednesdays, a group made up of several fantastically wonderful, passionate women, cooking their way through Le Cordon Bleu at Home in order to save, oh, I guess $27,000 - roughly the cost of attending culinary school. So, for $20 (@$#%! I paid $50! Stupid sales that

Sauteed Shrimp with Leeks and Bacon with a Cauliflower Puree by Spork or Foon First of all, I just want to say I love sunlight. It makes pictures pretty, even with bad cameras. Secondly (second of all?), I just want to say I love this dish. It is easy. It is very tasty. Cauliflower puree is a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes and tastes just as good.

Green Lentil "Pate" Bruschetta by SporkorFoon ...With a Poached Egg and Honey Balsamic Sprouts. What a mouthful. Literally. (Ba-dum-chhhh) This was inspired by a recipe that I saw on Chow, but I gave it my own twist. To be honest, I wouldn't use the sprouts again, but they do add a nice variation on the texture. If you like sprouts, then definitely keep them
