I’m not talking about a hastily purchased bottle of Ouzo from the airport or a bag of smashed up biscotti lurking in the bottom of the suitcase. What I’m getting at is the memory of new and unusual tastes, the experience of playing menu roulette and waiting to see what the waiter brings to the table. Jen Evans Wed, 16 May 2012 13:00:00 GMT Home 3953 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/jim-beam-honey-cocktail-recipes.html A few years ago, on a flight to Edinburgh I heard a rather distinguished chap ask the flight attendant for a ginger ale with whiskey - and ever since then, I've been hooked. Whiskeys and bourbons are actually quite versatile and mix fabulously with ingredients you might not initially think of, which is precisely why I'm so in love with Jim Beam Honey.

Cate Sevilla Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:44:33 GMT Home 3942 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/vegan-nibbles-asparagus-and-pea-risotto.html You must have heard the wise advice "don't go shopping when you're hungry." Well I would like to add to that advice by saying do not go grocery shopping after an extra long mind numbing day at work. Why? Because last week I went to do a big shop after work and ended up at home with a bag of veggie chips and a box of arborio rice. That's it.

Carrot cake can be airy, moist and delightful if done right.The key is don't over-mix when you add the dry ingredients to the wet. So if you go easy with your wooden spoons you might have all the neighborhood bunnies knocking down your door begging for a slice.

A few weeks ago I wrote about stovetop popcorn, but since then I've gotten even lazier when it comes to making snacks.Not wanting to have to wash a big pot, I set off on a microwave popcorn adventure. I read about the paper bag microwave method, but ...

Over the weekend, I opened my cupboards and stared for a while. Nothing. Cabinets chock full of food and I could think of nothing to make.So, I took a walk around the block and asked myself a very important question, "When was the last time I had lentils?" I couldn't answer that easily, therefore it had been too long.  Yvonne Penzakov Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:57:05 GMT Home 3921 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/vegan-nibbles-some-tasty-juice-ideas.html I love juice. This isn't news to you if you've spent more than 5 minutes with me at any point in my life. Juice is awesome, and now that I've finally got my own juicer, it's exponentially more awesome because I can create any combination I choose in the comfort of my own kitchen like a tiny juice god. I've been experimenting with all sort of stuff, and below are three of my favorites so far.  Yvonne Penzakov Thu, 08 Mar 2012 13:03:00 GMT Home 3913 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/vegan-nibbles-cherry-farro-porridge.html There are so many interesting grains out there to experiment with! In the past, I've made mornings more exciting with rice and quinoa, but I thought farro would be a fun thing to try after seeing it on the breakfast menu at Le Pain Quotidien. Hearty and nutty, farro will keep you full until lunch, and cherries and walnuts are one of nature's best combos! Yvonne Penzakov Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:00:05 GMT Home 3906 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/nomtastic-red-velvet-cupcakes.html Sometimes when life gets you down you need something special to brighten your day.  Nothing can put a smile on my face quite like a cupcake. Cakes are awesome, but they require things like cutlery and plates. Cupcakes require only a hand.  Plus there is something truly special knowing that that little cupcake is yours and yours alone.

You can tell me, "Oh, no, I know this place where you can get a real bagel..." I hate to break it to you, but you are wrong. So, in an effort to jazz up what you call a "bagel" why don't you try out one of the ideas below? Each recipe starts with a base of Tof... Yvonne Penzakov Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:02:22 GMT Home 3895 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/vegan-nibbles-eggplant-chickpea-stew.html I have a love/hate relationship with eggplant. Some days it's the best thing ever and other days it's like I've committed a crime and the punishment is eating slimy sponge for lunch. Recently, eggplant and I were back in love, buying each other presents and whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears.

I unabashedly love Valentine's Day with the passion of a thousand first kisses. Is there a better way to tell someone you love them than through food? I do not know of any better way, friends. So why not make a batch of these sugar cookies, decorate them all fancy pants and give them to your crush/partner/best friend/best dog/best stranger?

Sometimes, though, there is a recipe that requires leftovers. Fried rice is one of those recipes.  I’d made fried rice in the past using freshly made rice and it just gums up and gets nasty.  With some simple planning, fried rice is now one of my favorite meals of the week. Jenessa Hooper Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:00:33 GMT Home 3875 http://home.bitchbuzz.com/vegan-nibbles-banana-blueberry-muffins.html Muffins make me so happy. With a muffin, you get to walk around like you've got your life together. You're one of those healthy people that maybe bikes to work and always has extra safety pins in her bag in case a hem goes rogue. You whip out that muffin from your immaculately organized bag to fuel you through your morning meeting where you'll use your very large brain to impress many people. You're very important.

That desire to eat something different, something that you’ve never done before but you’re willing to try to make.  One night when my mom was bored with plain old broiled/grilled chicken she decided to make her own teriyaki marinade. It was a hit and we’ve been making it ever since.
