Zoku Popsicle Maker: Nutella Fudgesicles

New gadgets are fun. I was leafing through (more like studying) the latest issue of Donna Hay magazine and saw this Zoku Quick Pop Maker that makes popsicles in less than 10 minutes. It's been out for awhile and reviewed in a bunch of places -- here's theKitchn's take -- but I'd just missed it somehow. Sure, you could just use some Dixie cups and popsicle sticks, but oooh, a new gadget! Ten minutes, not two hours! And yeah, it's $50, but oooh, new gadget!

Cooking from the Pantry: Israeli Couscous

If you're not already sitting in your car on your way to your Memorial Day weekend destination, you're probably making your weekend grill plan.

Chilled Banana & Pistachio Rice Pudding

There’s no meal that rice is excluded from at my house – breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, appetizer, entrée, dess--errrr-–no. I’ve never been a big fan of rice for dessert. I didn’t like Botan Rice Candy growing up, but its got its own Facebook page, so apparently a lot of people do (at least 1,955 as…

Outrageous Pretzel Bars

I love chocolate covered pretzels. Earlier this week Adam Roberts, the @amateurgourmet, retweeted @JustinChapple's Outrageous Pretzel Bars in Food and Wine magazine. Cookie layer + fudge layer+ pretzels = straight into my recipe file and off to the grocery to buy 2 bags of chocolate chips. Three notes: 1. Even spreading is important for the layers. From…
