Alexandra's kitchen — seasonal recipes for everyone. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cups. People tend to have this idea that everything in my kitchen turns out perfectly… That couldn’t be further from the truth! I’ve noticed lately that a lot of my friends are hesitant to cook for me. They’re afraid that the food won’t turn out perfectly or that I will hate what they choose to make.
I wish they didn’t feel that way… I love sharing food with my friends and family, and I don’t want anyone to be intimidated! So, today I thought I’d share one of my recipes that turned out slightly less than perfect. It’s not a miserable failure, but I don’t think it’s one of my best, either. I’ve had Easter on the brain the last few days… Normally I make a half dozen different cookies and candies for Easter, but this year I’ve been pretty busy, and it just hasn’t happened. So, as I was thinking on the fly, it occurred to me that it might be better to make smaller peanut butter cup sized candies instead of giant Easter eggs.

The meaning of pie. Bacon + Chocolate = World Peace? December 29, 2009 at 1:47 pm When I was in 5th grade, my class went on an overnight trip to a pioneer farm. We took a tour of the farm, learned about the equipment and tools, and slept that evening in a real pioneer cabin. The next morning after breakfast, we were given our authentic pioneer chores. Mine was cleaning up after the farm’s pig, Susan Bacon Anthony. I was not amused. While some of my friends pressed apples into cider, and other classmates tried out the tools at the blacksmith house, I trudged through the mud towards the barn.
By the time my parents arrived to pick me up, I had an announcement to make – I was becoming a vegetarian so that I never had to eat a Susan Bacon Anthony, or any of her friends, ever again. My parents seemed complacent enough throughout the drive home. As a child I was passionate about bacon. As the pan sizzled and the house filled with the smell of bacon, I ended up going outside. I’m not fooling anybody. My friend M- is very conservative about food. David Lebovitz. Tartelette.
