We’ve been following Yummy Supper for a while here at foodwhirl, watching the exotic travels they’ve been up to… This recipe certainly looks tropical and delicious!

Looking for something impressive to serve the next time you’re entertaining?  Look no further than Mădălina’s Baked Brie with Caramelized Onions, over at Duhlicious.

I was flipping through an old issue of Real Simple, and came across this recipe for Microwave Lasagna.  Now we’ve posted several lasagna recipes here, but this was a new twist.  I was initially skeptical, as my microwave is usually used for heating things up, not actual cooking of meals. But I figured this would […]

The Novice Chef makes an attempt I have tried before and failed at.  (yes, I ended that sentence in a preposition, sue me.)  How to use cauliflower as a substitute for mashed potatoes and have it taste actually tasty.  Unlike Jessica, I actually like cauliflower, but although it has been claimed that you can make […]

I’m about to make my Black Eyed Peas for tomorrow, so I’m passing on my super easy recipe.  It only takes about an hour or so to cook, so you can pull it together on New Years Day morning, if you’re not too bleary eyed–or cook it today and just reheat tomorrow– I think it’s […]

Wendy at Wisdom of the Moon claims this is the best bread pudding ever… And who are we to disagree–Although we’d like to point you to one of ours, too: Irish Car Bomb Bread Pudding from Niki! (Got one you think is just as good?  Leave a comment!) I do have to admit, this looks […]
