Sometimes all you want is one egg. Even the fast food joints haven’t (yet?) invented the Double Egg McMuffin. There’s a reason Mother Nature made the egg a perfectly reasonable single sized serving. I don’t know what that reason would be as you can’t really make an omelet out of just one egg, but so be it; sometimes one egg at a time is OK.

One of the many good things about dried pasta is that it offers something for everybody. With an almost endless variety of shapes and styles, a pasta aficionado can quickly amass quite a collection. When it comes time to reach into the pantry and cook up a batch, chances are choosing can become a difficult decision—especially considering everyone has their own personal faves. But there is a way for everyone to have the pasta they want without boiling pot after pot of water.

When one thinks “moistâ€, one normally doesn’t think of the oven. But that’s exactly what Moistly Roasted Oven Humidifier looks to overcome. The slim pan measures 19.5-inches by 14.75 inches, but most importantly measures .75-inches tall. Why is that important? Because the enclosed interior is where one would pour juice, wine, beer, or even plain ol’ water so as to add moisture to the oven while cooking.
Thanks to four steam vents that release steam into the oven, the accessory provides an interesting way to add flavor to foods. Designed primarily for turkey, roasts and the like, the flavor-enhancing pan is designed to provide tender and moist results without the need to baste the food. One large vent assures easy refilling during the cooking process, so just remember to pace yourself.
Kind of like a burrito (at least a San Francisco burrito), but wrapped in a pepper instead of a tortilla, stuffed peppers provide an amalgamation of ingredients that become something more when placed together. Rice, meat, spices, cheese, tomato (or salsa): put it all together in a pepper and you have a complete meal. Top with sour cream, maybe some hot sauce, add slices of avocado on the side and suddenly the humble stuffed pepper is transformed into a meal that offers something for every taste palate. (Well, except for those that have some weird aversion to bell peppers, that is.)

Sure, the real season doesn’t start for weeks, but considering the Hall of Fame Game was on TV last night, we might as well kick off a little early. Besides, we all need time to get those snack trays ready.
Perhaps this year is the year – no not for your lousy team to make the playoffs, but to step up the game in the kitchen. Naturally, football-shaped food is key. The Wilton Mini Football Silicone Mold
Nobody wants to be faced with choices when they are presented with cake (or brownies). The answer to any and all cake-related questions should be a simple ‘yes’. Now it can be. Whether you have a thing for yellow, strawberry or chocolate, the Dividable Brownie/Cake Pan can provide. Featuring three dividers that can be used (or not) to separate different batters, the customizable pan can bake up to four different varieties of cake or brownies at a time.
Most cake recipes don’t usually come in sizes made for a fourth of a 13 x 9 pan, so it might be prudent to pick up four pans for four cakes. Of course, then that would negate the need for the dividers, but hey, then you would have four big cakes instead of four little cakes. Yes.
