Let me introduce you to Rice Krispies treats on crack. Or steroids. Pick your poison. These are insanely, dangerously addictive. There aren’t even any Rice Krispies in them.

While I was doing some research for the jambalaya that I made earlier this week, I also came to find out that Moon Pies are a very traditional part of Mardi Gras. Having never been in New Orleans for the celebration, I had no idea. As it turns out, Moon Pies are typically thrown from [...]

When it’s the middle of January and it’s icy, snowy and dreary, the most natural thing to do is make a dessert that reminds you of summer. Long, sunny days and warm evenings. Bonfires and fireflies.

Rocky road ice cream, well, rocks. I fell in love with it last year after my slew of allergy problems were finally behind me. My Chief Culinary Consultant lives, literally, across the street from Marble Slab, which can be both awesome and dangerous. Our ice cream cravings know no time or season. We’ve bolted across [...]
