After finding this post on Brown Sugar Bacon Buttermilk Waffles, I immediately ordered a waffle maker so I could make them. Brown Eyed Baker has some of the tastiest recipes I’ve ever made, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite blogs.

Every now and then I decide that I want a waffle iron and then talk myself out of it because I don’t even really like waffles, I just like the way that they look/smell. Waffleizer might be changing that for me, though. It’s a collection that will eventually contain 30 different recipes for things that you can make in/on a waffle iron which aren’t necessarily waffles. Looks fun and potentially useful!

This is one of those occasions where I can’t do a better job of explaining the purpose of a site than their About section. “Tasty Planner is here to help you create, plan and share recipes, menus, grocery lists and more. Browse, create, and share delicious recipes. Add them to your personal Recipe Box. Plan meals with your weekly planner and we’ll automatically generate your shopping list. You can print or have your shopping list emailed to you. You can even access it at the grocery store on your iPhone.”

The design is killer too.

File this away in your “things to do on a rainy day” file. And may a rainy day soon find you, because this looks very, very yummy.

Apparently all you have to do to make killer caramel is boil an unopened can of sweetened, condensed milk. So your ingredients list looks like this: can, water, pot. The only part that bothers me is the possibility of explosion: “If you were to remove it immediately, the heat inside the can would overpower the air pressure surrounding it, and it would explode.” Yikes! But I think we can all agree that this is simply a risk we will have to take.

Thanks to beautiful Jenn for sharing, and may I bill you when I join Weight Watchers?

I found this site today (via Lifehacker I think) and was pleasantly surprised how fun and easy to use it was right off the bat. The theory is that you just type in a bunch of keywords that sound good to you right now. Could be ingredients, your mood, a dish, or a type of cuisine. Then Cookthink takes a stab at what you are “craving” and presents a recipe. If you haven’t given it quite enough keywords, you get a nice looking tag cloud to pick a few more keywords.

The site looks great, has tons of nice content (a blog, tips, reference, tips…), and is snappy. And they are still in Beta!

Between me and my 10 closest friends, I bet there are 6 copies of this cookbook. It’s kind of like the bible of vegetarian cooking. I’m not even a vegetarian, mind you, but I find that vegetarian cooking is often more inventive and just as delicious. And of course, altering the recipes to meat them up is usually a fairly simple matter (add meat).

The whole book has a nice casual tone which is emphasized by the fact that it is completely handwritten. It is written by Mollie Katzen and is available from Amazon for a reasonable $13.57 right now.

ed: Sorry about the lack of posts this weekend. I’m moving to a new place and the internet at my old place got cut off a few days early, unexpectedly. In any event, we’re back now!

Bacon. If you like to eat meat, chances are pretty good that you like bacon. The problem with bacon, however is that it’s mostly fat, packs in the calories, and if you’re a vegetarian you probably couldn’t enjoy the awesome taste of bacon at all… until now.

The creation of a couple of friends from Seattle, Bacon Salt was created to make all kinds of other foods taste like bacon… because they believe that “Everything Should Taste Like Bacon”. Now I don’t know if I love bacon that much, but I do love my bacon! Bacon salt is kosher, vegetarian, has zero calories, and lets you bring the magic of bacon to any dish.

On their blog, I read accounts of people putting it in their fried chicken recipes, on watermelons, steak, eggs, Bloody Marys, and even ice cream. Crazy. So far, my girlfriend and I have put it on scrambled and boiled eggs, beef roast, and several other things, and what do you know? It’s actually pretty good. There are 3 different flavors: Original, Hickory and Peppered. I prefer Original and she prefers Peppered.

Bacon Salt is available for $4.49 per bottle.

Also, the trailer for Beowulf is out. It seems like some sort of new hybrid live action/computer animation is going on here. It really has a unique look and highly detailed models of real people, much like The Polar Express.

Copy and Taste is an ongoing experiment by Zach Klein and Courtney Lewis. People submit recipes, and they try them out, documenting the results, including photos and video (which is hosted on Vimeo, of course, a video sharing site that Zach co-owns). I’m definitely going to try the Blueberry Crisp Pie recipe myself!

Rouxbe is a great site that’s shown up on my radar lately. Basically, it’s the next step in online recipe sites. Sort of a hybrid between a cookbook and a cooking show, Rouxbe is chock-full of well produced videos of great food and the process behind making it.

From the Rouxbe site:

Rouxbe connects professional chefs with home cooks: people like you, who love food and are looking to expand their culinary repertoire and improve their skills in the kitchen. We offer online instructional cooking videos that walk you step by step through each delicious recipe. And our video recipes provide what no cookbook can: audio and visual cues that professional chefs use as their guides to preparing great recipes. It’s like having a private cooking school in your home, with professional chefs at your service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Right now you can sign up and use the site for free for 30 days. If you send an invite to someone and they accept, you get another 10 days free. Memberships range from $50 annually to $100 for a lifetime.
