Apple, Chocolate + Salted Pecan Bundt

This weekend, the resident jew is, in fact, home alone for the holidays—and in the presence of far too many apples for just one person. The problem is I just don’t love pies and crumbles. The doughs are tricky (emotional melt-downs imminent), the crumbles are too crumbly and dry, and the apples usually end up

Cake Batter Rice Krispies

Hello from Hurricane Sandy aftermath in NYC — or rather, from Brooklyn. Our apartment weathered the storm pretty well except for losing power, so all in all I would consider us pretty lucky.

Canned Soup: from Blah to Voila!

This is the enemy… Canned soup takes about 5 minutes to cook. The hardest part is probably opening the can. Just open, pour and heat. You don’t even need to add water anymore. The convenience of the soup in a can is extraordinary. Even for clean up- you just have to wash one dish. However,

Easier Than Pie: Early Mornin’ Spit in the Eye

This morning I woke up hungry. During the school year, I usually grab a luna bar or toast up a quick bagel. But today I wanted something special. Whitney and I have decided that having a more substantial breakfast with help us jump-start our day.  I went to my local grocery and picked up some
