In Praise Of Penquins
In Praise of Penguins These funny birds in fancy clothesmay waddle in the snow,but when they reach the icy seajust watch how fast they go!

The Cinnamon Quill » Blog Archive » Necessity: Granola Bars (kind of)
Even if you aren’t eating oats (which sometimes includes me) granola bars don’t have to be a forgotten pleasure of the past. This bar is a fusion between a ‘classic’ chewy granola bar and KIND bars , which are undoubtedly my favorite gluten-free bars available. This recipe replicates KIND bars nicely if the ingredients aren’t ground as finely as I’ve done here.
Mexican Pulled Chicken Stuffed Peppers

Mozzarella Sticks
When I told my friends I was planning on making homemade mozzarella sticks for a guy’s weekend out of town the idea was met with a profound lack of enthusiasm. Everybody knows that I like to experiment in the kitchen, but somehow the idea of making a bar food staple like mozzarella sticks from scratch seemed like a complete waste of time to the group. After being lectured about the innumerable brands available in the freezer section at the grocery store and a heated debate about whether marinara or ranch is the better dipping accompaniment, I decided to risk further heckling and see if I couldn’t one-up T.G.I.
Making Miniature Stuffed Pizzas in Springforms
Stuffed pizzas are a Chicagoan delicacy consisting of layers of cheese and fillings above– and below– a thin pizza crust. One of the best ways to bake them is in a springform pan, so that the sides come out in perfect cylinders and come out easily. Taken to the small extreme, individual-sized stuffed pizzas are the ideal portable food to take to work for lunch. Made in miniature springform pans, they are compact, cute, tasty, filling, and are almost guaranteed to make your co-workers jealous.
