Bon Appétit November Cook the Cover
Thanksgiving is two weeks away. Do you have plans? Do you celebrate with the same people each year or do you try to do something new each year? Do you try new recipes or serve the same green bean casserole year…after year…after year? I received the new issue of Bon Appétit and was thrilled with …
Bon Appétit Cook the Cover October
When I received this month’s Bon Appétit, I was so excited to see a pizza on the cover. It was going to be a breeze to knock this cover out and keep my resolution of cooking every cover this year. (And I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared at what the holiday …

April Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
Eeeeek!!! Another month has flown by and I ALMOST didn’t keep my resolution to cook every cover this year of Bon Appétit. I will admit I was lulled into a false sense of security when I first looked at April’s cover. The theme of this issue was “Cook like a pro…How to Make Amazing Restaurant …
Happy Pi Day: Bon Appétit’s March Cook the Cover
Is it irrational for me to celebrate Pi Day this year? Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14). Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. (Do you remember this from school?) The approximation to 3 digits …
