I wanted to share with you my favorite apple pie recipe. I use a refrigerated pie crust (because I’m lazy), and having an apple peeler/corer/slicer makes life super easy. This is the perfect pie if you like both the apples and the crust to be crispy and not mushy. Continue reading
Tight budgets are no fun around Christmas time (or ever), but with some creativity you can find your way around them and give your friends and family something better than the cheapest thing you could find at Walgreens. My budget for Christmas gifts this year pretty much tops out at twenty bucks– and since that includes shipping to environs as far north as Wisconsin and Glasgow, we’re probably talking closer to ten bucks on materials.

With that in mind, I am turning to you culinary geniuses here at Crasstalk and asking you to post your quickest, easiest dessert recipe. I’ll get things started with my mint chocolate peppermint bark.
Hi kids! Know where I am today? If you said “sitting at your desk at home like you are every other day,” you are incorrect!

Last weekend I bought a bag of almonds to start pre-gaming Christmas gifts. I thought that spiced almonds might be a fun thing to put in our friend’s food baskets. But I was out straight the last 2 days and I didn’t have a chance to practice with them. Then this evening I went out for a bottle of wine and when I was standing in line at the store, something caught my eye. Continue reading
The problem with corporations is that they never think of you. They get you hooked on their damn products, desperate for their damn products, and then — poof! — in the most nefarious of fashions, they make it difficult to get their product.
Such is the case with Diet Coke and its new imposter, regular Coca-Cola Classic.

I stumbled upon the best Banana Bread I’ve ever tasted, and thought you guys might want to try it. The original recipe is located here. I hope you like it, I can’t stop eating it. I’m going to maybe give the second loaf to my neighbors. Maybe.
