Roasted Garlic, Three Ways
If they’re reading this, my close friends are probably laughing.
“Oh garlic, of course!!” they’ll say to each other. “After all, the Mouse has vampires on the brain lately.”
They would be right.
I probably shouldn’t admit this publicly, I know. But…I...

Mini Meat Loaves
I’ll spare you my standard speech about miniature food. Suffice it to say: If it’s small, I’m all over it. These mini meat loaves are no exception.
Based on Ina Garten’s fabulous recipe, these meat loaves pack huge comfort-food goodness in a small package. They’re a great...

Chocolate Cream Pie
Nom nom nom.
Oh, I’m sorry! Didn’t see you there! How embarrassing. I seem to be covered in pie.
Seriously, though: Be still my heart. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but this has got to be one of the best desserts I’ve made in a long time.
Cookie crust, chocolate filling,...

Roasted Blue Potato Wedges with Fresh Herbs
I have to tell you: I’m a sucker for blue food. Especially food that you don’t always expect to be blue. (You know what I’m talking about. Anything blue raspberry flavored, etc. And bonus points if it makes your tongue change color.)
Call it a weakness.
So, you can imagine that I’m...

What Are the Five Mother Sauces?
I get a ton of questions about cooking and food. In person. On Facebook. On Twitter. By e-mail. So many, in fact, that I decided to start publishing them in a column.
So! Have a question in the kitchen? Can’t quite figure something out? Ask the mouse! I’ll answer as many questions as I can.
Since...

Cauliflower Gratin with Toasted Walnuts
Here’s your proof, folks. I do eat my veggies.
Granted, I prefer my veggies covered in cheese. (OK, I’ll admit it: I’d probably eat a newspaper if you put enough cheese on it.)
But still.
So, a while ago, I was talking to a friend at work about eating vegetables. Specifically, cauliflower.
Now,...

Chocolate Caramel Tartlettes
Hope you all had a fabulous holiday and new years!
The Angry Chef and I spent New Year’s Eve nestled in with the good folks from The Salem Insider and Rippin Kitten.
The company was outstanding. There was a roaring fire in the hearth. We had a handful of toasty cocktails. Honestly, I couldn’t...

Boozy Italian Coffee Infused with Chocolate Whipped Cream
So, say I was *actually* mouse-sized. (I’m not saying that I’m NOT, just imagine if I were.) This would be the best hot tub ever.
Hot tub?
Yep, hot tub.
As in, freshly brewed dark roast with a generous, nutty drizzle of amaretto and frangelico, topped off with homemade whipped cream that’s...

Christmas Dinner at Salem’s Hawthorne Hotel
If you live anywhere in New England and you don’t know about the Hawthorne Hotel, you should. And if you’re ever in Salem, Massachusetts, you have no excuse not to stop in. Tell them The Hungry Mouse sent you to have a nibble. You won’t be sorry.
So The Hawthorne is one of those grand...
