extra crispy

Holidays are tough when you're broke.

For fans of Laguna Beach and The Hills, Lo Bosworth was a household name.

Every holiday season, the rich people of the world look around and ask: What can you get the person who has everything? What if the Goop gift guide offers no clues, and the ultra-luxury cabins of Emirates Airlines are sold out? The Super-Hamptons are boring this time of year, and the leather Champagne case simply will not do two years in a row. Never fear, my friends. Again I am here to solve a problem I will absolutely never have.

I am a fifth generation Chicagoan, and my husband’s family has been in Kentucky at least that long.

For real cereal-heads, it’s truly the most wonderful time of the year.

I love a Granny Smith smeared with almond butter, but sometimes I like to get more creative with my apples. Obviously they do well in 

If you had to pick two substances to define the lifestyle of Coloradans, there’s a good chance you’d go with marijuana (duh) and granola. So it’s only fitting that a drug task force cop in Colorado is out of a job because of an unfortunate connection between the two.

Bacon! It is delicious. We can't get enough of it. And yet you may be making some sub-par bacon at home. Why, you ask, is your bacon flabby rather than perfectly crisp? Why is it a little burned on the outside, but the fat hasn't really rendered? What is up? Does the universe just hate you and not wish your bacon to be cooked properly?

One of the most interesting parts of going to a culinary program is noticing how often we use certain tools. During each class I'm guaranteed to go through a dozen metal bowls and at least four side towels. We deploy a chef's knife almost every class, a paring knife only sometimes. I use my whisk a lot, but I have yet to break out my spatula, a tool I use all the time at home.

As a website focused on breakfast, it’s no secret that we love egg iconography. Rarely do eggs in art ever only symbolize the breakfast food. They’re used to talk about life and the loss of innocence and, in some cultures, they signify luck or wealth.
