I am a reasonable human being. I know the holidays can lead to overindulgence. But I'm not one of those lame-os out there telling you to "take it easy at the holiday party" and "really think about how many cookies you're eating." No sir, I will not ask you to think how many cookies you're eating. I will however tell you to make this lower fat guacamole so that you can eat even MORE cookies if you so choose.

One of my earliest memories of Christmas is the majestic gingerbead house that my aunt always made. There it was; proudly in the center of the table, a fantastic mixture of cookie house and candy decor. As a three-year old there was nothing you could do to keep me away from that holiday creation. The whole day my brother and I would stealthily return to the dinning room, using our ninja skills to snatch the candy decorations. All the while our aunt watched us with her hawk eyes to minimze the...

The holiday season is in full swing and the time for festive parties has arrived. One of the best things at festive events, other than libations, is the wonderful food that appears. The holidays bring out the creativity in everyone. The only problem with creativity is that it takes time and might leave you frazzled wondering how you’ll ever get everything together. That’s why you need a party snack that’s easy to make in advance and is ready right when you are.

My two greatest fears are fire and getting hit by a car, which is why I avoid deep frying and the Houston/Bowery intersection.Due to my fear of becoming engulfed in flames, I've always been wary of making popcorn on the stove because I thought it involved lots of hot oil and skills. But it really doesn't! It's not that hard! You won't burn the house down!*

If you love cheesecake and pumpkin pie, this recipe is for you!Pumpkin swirl cheesecake has been my go to dessert recipe for Thanksgiving for the past three years. The first year I made it everyone in my family was so hung over on Thanksgiving that no one wanted a rich dessert. Crushed that no one ate my cheesecake I took it over to a good friend’s parent’s house. There it was met with appreciation and devoured as it should have been.

Do you know Thanksgiving is tomorrow? Do you know what you're making for dessert? Do you know how packed the grocery stores are right now? Do you know you probably have most of the ingredients for this apple crumble in your kitchen right now? Do you know that this apple crumble is really delicious? Did you ever know that you're my hero?

There’s only one week left until Thanksgiving so it’s time to get the turkey and game plan thawing. In my family whoever is hosting Thanksgiving makes the Turkey. This is mostly logistics as Turkey takes hours and hours to make. This makes me an expert in one thing, and it’s not Turkey. It is gut busting sides.

Here's the deal, I'm giving you the recipe to make this from scratch, but nothing is stopping you from buying a pound of pizza dough from your grocery store and using that as the foundation for your focaccia. Just skip right down to the oven preheating part and go from there. I'll never tell!Ingredients2 cups bread flour

For this week’s spotlight on Thanksgiving sides we’re talking potatoes. Mashed potatoes grace dinner tables year round as they are probably one of the greatest inventions of mankind. They go with everything and they’re simple.Even the simplest of things require a little work. I will freely admit I have screwed up mashed potatoes before. There are two easy ways to ruin mashed potatoes; not cooking the potatoes long enough or adding the wrong amount of liquid. Perfect mashed potatoes sho...
