There's always plenty of green around here this time of year! Yesterday, I shared my Guinness Cake recipe. Last year, Keith had never had a Shamrock Shake from McDonalds.  So we went and introduced him to the glorious annual treat. ...

I am NO baker. I cook. I don't like math; I don't like measuring. It's why I prefer to cook, over baking. However, I put my baker's skills to the test to make a special St. Patrick's Day treat for Keith and I. (I have no idea why I'd do ANYTHING for him after this fiasco...

  One of my favorite guests is Buffalo-native Nikki Dinki, who competed on "Next Food Network Star" (Season 9) and who now cohosts The Cooking Channel's "Junk Food Flip".  I've had her on the Morning Rush three times now! Nikki's "culinary POV" (Point Of View) was "meat on the side", and focuses on healthier alternatives to some of our favorites.  Being t...

I make it every year. Every year people think I'm some kind of Willy Wonka magician or something.

If you are planning to fry a turkey this holiday, you need to watch this.
