If you spot the new limited edition Candy Cane Oreos, you may want to buy two bags — one for eating. and another for baking. They taste much better than I imagined (like Girl Scout Thin Mints in Oreo form) and have so many potential uses in baked goods. I couldn’t decide whether to chunk [...]

My stepfather was Sicilian American and knew a thing or two about food. I sometimes take for granted how lucky I was to have him in my life. He would have never called himself a foodie, but he could cook anything and he would drive all over town to find the best Italian meats, cheeses [...]
