I got wind of this article that appeared in the New York Times this week titled, "Buy Me Some Sushi and Baby Back Ribs", about a culinary critic who visited a number of ballparks by a reader, Brendan Spiegel. The author of this piece, Peter Meehan, sampled food at 12 ballparks, including Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards and gave his opinion about what he devoured.Long story short, he does n

In the end... all things work out the way they do for a reason... I think that sums up our weekend trip. Friday morning came too soon after a long night of tornado warnings and getting our kids home in the middle of the raging storms, having extra children overnight, etc. but we were up, packed and on the road with 5 kids, luggage, gifts and 2 cakes. The thunderstorms let up enough for us to

Ok looks like I am 2 days behind the schedule, blame it on the foodies meet we had. I was so busy excited about it, that I didn't get enough time do the recap! And also not preparing few more entries that I planned for my own event! But I was so happy that we bloggers met. It gives so much personalization to this entire blogging! I was happy seeing some new entries coming in and sad to see few were not able to participate. But its all in the game. After all we have a life out there! I don't want all of us so glued to our monitors that we don't realize and even have enough time to enjoy the scene of a dusk kissing the earth! Yes the other day, I managed to leave early home by 6 and I was surprised to see a big balloon staring at me from far. For a moment, I was wondering what's that big bal

Filed under: Gaming Besides being infuriated with leaving over a billion dollars on the table this past holiday season, Nintendo of America is also "passionately upset about the lack of product relative to demand." Those words came straight from Mr. Reggie Fils-Aime himself, who noted that North America was the only Wii-serviced territory where supply and demand were still out of sync. Reportedly, some 40-percent of the 1.8 million Wii consoles manufactured each month are making their way over, but even after 17 months on the market, the average Wii sits around on retail shelves for "just an hour before [it is] purchased." Unfortunately, we're no closer to being able to clone the consoles in order to meet the insatiable appetite.Read | Permalink | Email this&#

Ah, crab cakes!  I first tried crab cakes during a childhood trip to Maine and was hooked from the first bite.  Just the thought of them brings to mind the dancing sweetness of tender crabmeat surrounded by a wonderful crunchy texture.  Over the years, after trying out a multitude of recipes, I eventually assembled my own humble version of this classic nosh.  I can't claim it's the best in the world but it works for me!Ingredients:

Kids Birthday Cakes are probably the most fun to make! The possibilities are endless and the results are often stunning. But, most importantly - Kids love them! Are you looking for ideas for your child's next birthday cake? or maybe you already have a character or theme cake in mind, but are just looking for instructions or ideas on how to make it. This section is the largest on our site. We have many popular character and theme cakes as well as some very unusual and hard to find ones.

California brought me the Jiffy Cornbread Muffin mix and said "Pwease? Pwease Mama?". I thought about it for a minute and decided to make it for lunch. If you have read the "Who Are We Anyway??" section, then you probably already know that we are vegetarians.I remember the days of when I grew up in the mid-south. We always had cornbread with a big ole pot of white beans or butter beans. So I decided to whip up a Southern California style lunch for my little veggie boys that included cornbread but a different kind of bean... It consisted of the following items:HEART CAKES! Made with Jiffy Cornbread mix, two tablespoons of organic sugar, 1/3 cup organic milk, One organic, cage - free, omega - 3 egg and approximately 3 ounces of fresh organic blueberries.Edamame (organic soybeans) and or

Consumers seem to be very easily fooled. As soon as “reduced-fat” appears on a product they seem to fly off the supermarket shelves. In fact: it doesn’t mean you’re being healthy- instead it means increased carbohydrates, and in worse cases- fat-free means increased sugar and chemicals. But this doesn’t stop consumers. A new report shows that, [...]

For a change instead of having something like a simple salmon fillet or chicken breast I thought I have heard of salmon cakes why not make tuna cakes.RECIPE:Grilled fragrant tuna cakes, combined with fresh chilli, butter beans and fresh breadcrumbs served with an assortment of colourful vegetables with a mixture of sweet potato mash and wedges.You will need:2 cans of tuna in spring waterFresh chilli1 can of butterbeans4 slice of wholemeal bread for bread crumbs3 sweet pototoesFresh vegetables of your choiceSalt and pepper for seasoningStart with the sweet potato…Take 1-2 potatoes and cut it up into wedges, season with salt and pepper and spray 1 calorie spray over the top bake in the oven for 30 minutesAfter 15 minutes take the remaining two potatoes peal, wash and boil in a sauce pan fo

My girls have been going through a bit of a vegetarian phase lately. Well, with the exception of sausage and deli ham, because they are cool like that! But I can't exactly feed them pig for the rest of eternity now, can I?I decided I would have to try some stealth cooking and sneak some super-healthy salmon into them. Like their Dad, they are mashed potato fiends, so I figured the only way to disguise the "pink meat" would be in a potato pancake. Sort of. I had leftover mashed potato, so this was a quick and easy dinner to throw together.I had mine with a green salad and some honey mustard dressing. You could add more vegetables to the patties and substitute any other flaky fish for the salmon. Indeed I would have enjoyed adding some red pepper and diced chillies to the patties, bu

Next to seafood, I'd have to say that artichokes are one of my favorite foods. It's interesting to me that they are because I never had an artichoke until I was about 30 years old! My family didn't grow up eating them in the 70's and 80's - partly I'm sure because we were in a tiny little town in the heartland of America where we were more likely to have roast and potatoes or steak or fries at every meal. Our little hometown grocers didn't even carry artichokes! But they are so much easier to find these days (even in itty bitty hometowns in the Midwest!) and I fell in love. Here is a different recipe; artichoke cakes. This one was sent to me in an email of recipes that had been forwarded to a thousand before me so maybe you've already got it in your files. If not? Add it! Yum!Art

Amazing cakes? It is too poor an expression. It is something out of the world. Stunning, breath taking and highly innovative cakes.

They reveal what is possible with him.A sample cake below:

Here's another tasty treat, my mom brought home from Taiwan, Fong Li Su, or pineapple cakes. It's another one of those goodies that are available here in the states but just don't taste as good. This one, I don't understand, because they are pre-packaged anyway. Just send them over, right?The Fong Li Su are usually rectangular (I cut it in half to show you the inside.) and are traditionally made with a pineapple filling. There are several variations now with strawberry, melon, etc. but the classic one is what my mom always buys. The ones from Taiwan just taste a lot fresher. The shortbread-like outside is light and crumbly and needs the dense pineapple jam to hold it together. It is an extremely densely caloric treat that accomplishes the illusion of barely feeling like you ate, if it's a

This is a pretty cheap recipe to make, just using up some things that we had in the cupboards. I have been working a lot this weekend on the computer, so have not had time to go out and get any shopping, but managed to rustle up this nice fish cake meal out of not very much! They are actually less complicated than I thought they would be to make. The addition of the cheese means that they are not as healthy as they could have been, but this sticks everything together rather well. You could use egg instead.Ingredients500 g potatoes - peeled, boiled and mashed.1/2 onion1 clove garlic1 chilli1 nob butter1 handful fresh coriander leaves1 tablespoon Thai 7 Spices50 g cheddar cheese - grated1 tin tuna fish in water (I prefer this to the ones in oil)Flour for dustingCooking sprayMelt the butt

One bowl. Simple. Goodness.These two cakes are fun, delicious, and super easy to make. They are simple, one bowl, one-layer cakes perfect for a quick evening dessert or last minute cupcakes.I made these cakes on Easter Sunday for dessert. I am very excited about these cakes. They are so simple and so delicious, it almost seems as easy pulling out an old box of Duncan Hines... except these cakes are much better and completely gluten free! The carrot cake is also naturally casein free, and the chocolate cake can easily be made casein free by using a rice or nut milk substitute.I wish I had been able to capture a shot of an individual serving of these cakes, as they are seriously moist, highly risen, and have a very tender crumb.The cakes were so delicious that both were demolished by our fam

Classic Egg Yolk Butter Cream2/3 cup sugar1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar1/3 cup water5 egg yolks1 cup soft butterCombine sugar, cream of tartar, and water in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Raise the heat and boil syrup without stirring until candy thermometer reads 238 degrees F, or a few drops form a soft ball in cold water.While syrup is cooking, beat egg yolks until they are fluffy. Pour hot syrup in a thin stream into yolks, beating constantly.As the mixture cools, it will become thick and light. Continue to beat for a few minutes and then set aside until entirely cooled. If the syrup has not been cooked sufficiently, no amount of beating will make the mixture thick enough. If the syrup has been cooked too long, it will not beat smoothly into the egg

Here's a delicious fish cake recipe - each small cake is only 1 point, because no oil is involved. (If you want, you can try frying them in oil, but the point value will increase.)You can also make these cakes bigger, and eat them as burgers.I personally don't like to eat spicy, but if you want to add some heat to these cakes, chop up some hot red chili peppers and add them to the salmon mixture.Weight Watchers Fresh Salmon and Lime Cakes recipeMakes 20 small cakesIngredients500 g salmon fillets, skin removed3 tablespoons fine cornflour1 egg white1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger3 kaffir lime leaves, shredded3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley1 teaspoon wasabiFor the lime dipping sauce1/4 cup lime juice1/4 cup soy sauce2 tablespoons brown sugarPreparation1.

You know you've been memorable when your husband lovingly refers to a dinner as those "cakes that looked like pressed cow turds." I countered with the fact that they didn't seem dark enough for that, so maybe sun-bleached ones. Sorry, moving on. :)When I get the cooties, all I can manage to eat is rice, so I make a lot of rice. Like, a lot. Usually brown, and since it takes so long to make, I tend to make way more than I need, because I def. don't want to mind a pot of rice for 50 minutes any more than I have to. Now, this has led to a herd of extra baggies of rice in my freezer. You'd think that when I get sick, I would just reach into the freezer for a bag, but I don't. I make more. You cannot argue with a sick person.This meal wasn't intended to use them up, because like I said, I pract

Back in the 70's, I remember eating at a little  outdoor cafe down by the water in St. Petersburg, Florida and having a wonderful corn cake appetizer.  Over the years, I've tried to recreate their wonderful Cuban flavor and finally settled on the following recipe.  These dandy corn cakes are a  cool item to add to a party menu if you're looking to prepare something off the beaten track.  "Say, what the heck are these things?"  "Why they're Babaloo Corn Cakes, you silly goose!"Ingredients:

For many the ski season is right now - it's spring break time! For us - we are already fearing the second week of April, when the ski season is officially over for this spring. But making it at least a little bit more fun - We are planning on having a End of Ski Season-party and inviting all our friends.Our house is a mess, mainly because we have been skiing every free hour of the winter. But I have made a promise that all the snowmen decorations (we've had since Christmas) will come down as soon as the ski resort closes. I know, I'm bad at this cleaning stuff. But what a better way to make yourself to clean the house, than having a party? (Sorry kids, you didn't have birthday parties this winter because mommy was too busy not to clean and embarrassed the snowmen are still up). Me and kids

A multi-tiered wedding cake beautifully decorated is an important part of any bride’s dream wedding, but the price tag can give you nightmares. Use these tips to take a bite out of the bill. Your cheap wedding cake will still look and taste fabulous.If your heart is set on a three tiered cake that feeds 100, order it with plain white frosting, no decorations, and then decorate at the reception with fresh flowers. Or you can wrap a length of lace around each layer, like you would a ribbon. Of course remove the lace before cutting. Your wedding cake will be cheap but gorgeous.Stick with basic flavors and fillings, exotic flavorings add to the cost of the cake.Rather than one huge multi-tiered cake, use a modest tiered cake and then several (as many as you need for your guests) sheet cakes.

When it comes to being a vegetarian, fish are a problem. Not only do a lot of folks think vegetarians eat fish (they aren't vegetables, people!) but when it comes to the issue of animal rights, rights for fish are a hard sell in the meat-eating world. For me, the decision to avoid eating fish is largely based on three things: The issue of the pain that the fish feels being caught and let die out of water, the fact that our oceans are being overfished and dredged to pieces, and the fact that fish can be loaded with toxins like mercury, due to our pollution of our waterways. For these reasons, it is easy for me to avoid eating fish, even though I used to like nothing better than a nice greasy plate of fish and chips. If overfishing of our oceans continues at the pace it is going today, it wo

I may not be in the Philippines anymore, but every once in a while I feel like I am at home when I get to cook some of the food I am accustomed to like "Puto"-steamed rice cake. My husband loves those steamed rice cakes. A good thing because normally he doesn't eat any Philippine food. So he likes puto, and other sweet confections. Our children eats with me, and would eat what I eat. That is nice, that I have them to share my food with. My husband can't stomach the dry fish though, so he is out. He is not so much into seafood. Well, anyway, here I included what I cooked-steamed rice cakes, only I didn't have the proper tools to be able to cook them like we do in the Philippines. I put them in the muffin pan for shaping them, and baked them for a while, then put them in the bamboo steamer i

If you are planning a birthday party, it is important that you pay extra attention to the birthday cake. Next to the birthday celebrator, the cake gets the most attention. It shares the spotlight with the celebrator when singing “Happy Birthday,” followed by a wish and blowing out the candles.Themed birthday cakes are gaining popularity for the extra excitement and surprise they create. Aside from the colorful icing and little sugar flowers, a lot of other decorations can be incorporated on the cake.
