You ever have one of those days where nothing seems to be going right? The day I discovered Queen Bee Cupcakes started off being one of those. The first sign that I was in trouble came from the weather. Since the farmer’s market is a good 45 minutes away I had to get up early and leave just after sunrise, yet when I was getting ready to go, it was still dark out. ...

Today is Food Geekery’s One Year Anniversary! Yep, one year ago today this site came online (though it wasn’t completely live for a couple of months) and over 70 articles later we’re still going strong! I really want to thank all my readers and twitter followers for being so great as I stumble around the world of food. I still have absolutely no idea...

Last weekend I was going through all the things I had leftover from the Farmer’s Market and decided to do my best to use ‘em all up. Among all the goodies I found a leftover Ghost Chile (Naga Jolokia) just sitting in my fridge, begging to be let loose on some poor sap’s tongue. Unlike it’s poor brother, who was eaten by a co-worker after signing...

To be fair, I must warn you that this cookie was a complete experiment. It probably could use some tweaking, but it isn’t half bad how it is. In fact, most of the people I’ve had taste it really have enjoyed it, so I’ve decided to share with the class, so to speak. If you make these, please let me know what you thought along with any alterations.
My...

I can tell that your mouth is already watering from just reading the title of this post, but let me make it a bit worse. The recipe today is for:
Candied Bacon & Chocolate Chip Cookies drizzled with a Maple Fondant Icing and sprinkled with a sweet and salty Candied Bacon Topping.
What’s even better is that I managed to procure some genuine Berkshire Bacon (this...

Another week in my CSA and another bunch of rhubarb… what was I to do? I already made pie and every recipe book pretty much told me to make a pie or jam. I needed something different. I needed…. I needed…. cake! Luckily the wonderful naked chef, Jamie Oliver, rode to my rescue with his Rhubarb Stir Cake. Doesn’t this look awesome?

This weekend I went to pick up my haul from my CSA as usual and I got an unexpected treat: a bundle of Rhubarb! So, being the resourceful person I am, I thought to myself, “what should I make with this?” Of course, by that time I already had a cart full of strawberries and ingredients for pie dough (apparently the rest of me had already decided). So, looks...

I celebrated my birthday this week and to celebrate I decided to make myself some strawberry shortcakes instead of the “traditional” birthday cake. I did this for a few reasons:
I am not a fan of store-bought cake. Can’t stand the frosting (always leave a metallic taste in my mouth), among other things.
It’s warm out and nothing says “Summer”...
