5 apple recipes to fall for
By EatingWell Magazine, on Fri Sep 5, 2008 7:52am PDTMaybe it’s just me, but I think one of the most perfect dates is apple picking. It combines a few of my favorite things: being outside, doing something active (OK, maybe I’m not burning as many calories as I would on the elliptical machine, but still better than watching Sex & the City reruns) and immersing myself in food.
The first fall Dan and I dated, we went apple picking. I plan to continue that tradition this year. We’re trying to eat more local food, so we’re going to pick loads of apples and I'm going to cook up some delicious apple recipes.

Get fresh with mint
By EatingWell Magazine, on Thu Aug 28, 2008 8:09am PDTDoes this sound familiar? You decided you were going to garden (go, you!) and you thought, hey, I like mint, so you planted mint in your garden. Little did you know it spreads like a weed and would take over your basil (no pesto!) and your cilantro (sorry, guacamole…). Your mint crop was so successful, you could harvest several pounds of it if you liked. (Tip for next year: grow it in a pot!)
Quit stressing. First of all, mint dries extremely well. Mint is also delicious fresh, in a variety of recipes. Here are a few to help you make a dent in your mint crop:

Cheesecake at Baltimore's Inner Harbor
By Heather King, on Wed Aug 27, 2008 2:56pm PDT
Recently my boyfriend and I went to Baltimore for the weekend. It was sort of a mini-vacation trek back in time to the 80's. In the 80's we both played in bands, hung out at the mall and were convinced we'd be rock stars when we grew up. Well, I'm no rock star, but my job is just...

Project Recipe: Strawberry Shortcake with Mint and Whipped Cream
By Project Recipe, bon appetit, on Wed Aug 20, 2008 10:03am PDT
THE RECIPE: Strawberry Shortcakes with Mint and Whipped Cream (See Bridget's version HERE)
It's safe to say I'll be using this recipe as my standard from now on.
Next to apple pie (and mom, of course), is there anything more American than strawberry shortcake? In the pantheon of comfort-food desserts (there is one, you know), strawberry shortcake, rice pudding, and the aforementioned apple pie are the yummy trinity, capable of bringing cheer to the most dire of circumstances.

Koo-Ki Sushi - Candy Sushi
By Allison, SushiDay, on Fri Aug 15, 2008 4:58pm PDT
When you get deep into the sushi world, something that begins to come up is candy sushi. Often, people use Hostess Twinkies or Rice Crispy Treats as the sumeshi, with Fruit Roll-Ups for the nori. However, many have heard of Suedy's Koo-Ki Sushi. These also use a rice crispy base, but use various types of chocolate, caramel, and gummy candies for their nori and sushi fillings. Often I have lusted over the delicious-sounding descriptions and beautiful pictures on their website, but I never believed I would actually try their candy sushi. At prices from $10 for a pair of chocolate chopsticks, to $65 for an entire bento box of candy sushi, the prices have always been a bit out of my range.
A couple of weeks ago, my mom called me. "You have a package coming tomorrow, will you be home?" I assured her I would be, curious about this unexpected package. "You're going to love it," she promised.
The next day, a delivery man came to my door with a light package. While I was signing for the box, he glanced at the return address, then looked at me with question in his eyes. "Sushi?" I smiled and nodded, not entirely sure what he was talking about. When I turned back into my apartment and took a look at the return address, my face lit up like a kid who just found out she gets to go to Disneyland. The name on the return address: Koo-Ki Sushi.

By Anne Fitzgerald, Elastic Waist, on Fri Aug 15, 2008 8:35am PDTThey say, oh, it's a very long title for a recipe and of course you are snoozing before you get three words in, but I say no, new best friends who came up with this recipe, you had me at "drunken strawberry." And then when I got to the part about the dark chocolate, well, I knew I wasn't just some loose floozy--it was totally meant to be, our love.
