After several miserable attempts at publishing a gift guide of my own on this blog like last year, I surrendered to the gift giving gods and instead submitted my selections to the 2014 Chicago Food Bloggers Holiday Gift Guide. Believe me, […]

Friday Find | Garrett Chocolate Covered CaramelCrisp®

by Lizzy 11 April 2014 Friday Find

I do not like caramel corn. Caramel popcorn to be more precise. I never have, and I thought I never would. Even as a kid I only wanted CRACKER JACK® for the prize. I’d fish that paper packet out and promptly hand over the candy-coated treat box to my little brother. All that changed with Garrett popcorn. I […]

Friday Find | Crio Brü

by Lizzy 14 March 2014 Friday Find

My love of chocolate rivals only my obsession with Adam Levine…and bacon. (Yes, of course I now he’s Jewish. Insert joke here.)   Chocolate has formed a part of my morning routine since I was a child. As a kid, I drank Quik chocolate milk every morning, and I wouldn’t go to bed without a […]

Friday Find | Graze Snack Box

by Lizzy 28 February 2014 Friday Find

Subscription boxes have been around for a bit, but it seemed to me that last year snack boxes popped up everywhere. Because it’s food, I was eager to try one of these services. However, I needed an invitation and couldn’t score one for the life of me. The universe must’ve heard my call because when […]

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. Christina Tosi is a freaking genius! If you don’t know who she is, allow me to make the introduction.

Friday Find | OXO Fat Separator

by Lizzy 22 November 2013 Friday Find

I waxed poetic about potatoes earlier this week, but let me supplement by saying I love a good sauce. As one of my best friends noted, I like a little food with my sauce. You can probably guess I’m a big fan of gravy as it fuels my Thanksgiving love affair. I’ve made a lot […]

Friday Find | Chipotle Pumpkin Salsa

by Lizzy 15 November 2013 Friday Find

Rick Bayless is nothing short of genius. This isn’t breaking news, people. Not only are his restaurants some of my favorites in Chicago and O’Hare International Airport, he has a wonderful PBS show and critically acclaimed cookbooks in case you’re not convinced. Now he’s created a perfectly smoky pumpkin salsa. I’m officially head over heels […]

Friday Find | Charlie Trotter: The Kitchen Sessions

by Lizzy 8 November 2013 Friday Find

I grew up most of my life without cable television. During my formative years living in Germany, there was exactly one American channel run by the Armed Forces Network. When I watched from the late 1970s through the mid 1990s, it made CSPAN look like primetime TV. My friends and I eagerly awaited VHS tapes […]
