But between me and you, I HATE frying bacon. Ugh. So messy. I usually bake my bacon in the oven because it’s much tidier but that takes some planning ahead and these burgers needed to go down ASAP because I was feeling that summer vibe this past weekend. So here’s what I did instead: I added chopped raw bacon to the ground meat (I used bison from Pederson’s Natural Farms but you could use grass-fed beef, too)....

Our trip ended where it started, in Florence. We flew in and out of the tiny airport, which, aside from the delayed luggage (we lived out of our carry-on for 2 days) was much more pleasant than I’m sure some of the larger airports were. Especially at 7am when we left. The Duomo in Florence is one of the most incredible buildings I have ever seen. The beautiful white and green marble facade and massive dome cupola are truly a sight to be seen....

The cats wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas. All three of them: Sgt. Pepper, Desmond, and even Kalypso. Here’s to a day full of friends, family, love, laughter, and delicious things. And being a good sport no matter what: even if someone plops you on a sheepskin blanket and forces you to wear a wee Santa hat. Because that’s what the holidays are all about, right?...

I’ve been testing these cookies on and off for months now, trying to get the perfect chewy and gooey texture, one that melts in your mouth and tickles your palette, the perfect balance of chewy and gooey and crispy and melty, served warm right out of the oven. Easier said than done (isn’t it always?) but after a dozen or so batches I dare say I’ve finally got it. And Taylor has never been happier....

Who doesn’t love s’mores? I mean, really. I’ve been hit by multiple severe s’mores cravings lately, only to be thwarted by stale graham crackers. That’s the quickest way to ruin a good s’more, I tell you. These little tarts are addicting. When I realized how many tarts the recipe was going to give me, I thought, I’ll surely share these. We’ll give a bunch away to neighbors, because we surely can’t eat them all....

Suitable for vegetarian, low carb and gluten free diets. Post includes Weight Watchers points.

This is a poor-man’s lobster roll. Not that we’re poor, and not that shrimp is really all that cheap, but it’s a heckofa lot cheaper than lobster and much easier to prepare too. So maybe it’s more of a lazy-man’s lobster roll than anything. Poor and lazy aside, what makes this shrimp roll spectacular is the brown butter mayo, which truly is a revelation. Part mayonnaise, part hollandaise, if hollandaise were cold and made with toasted brown butter instead of just melted....
