It's my birthday today!
I begged my husband to "surprise" me with Butterflyfood's Doughnut French Toast (click the link for the recipe) and hot chai tea.
Oh, what a perfect Sunday morning this will be!
What's your perfect Sunday morning?

If there were an award for "Most Awesome Recipe Ever," it might just have to go to this one for Oreo Balls—for three reasons. First, it calls for the three most delicious ingredients in the world: chocolate, cheese, and Oreos. Second, this quick, no-bake recipe is so simple to make. And, finally, it's completely kid- and adult-proof. I mean, who doesn't like Oreos? (I'm serious, is there anyone out there?)
My sister's been bringing this sweet treat to family Halloween parties for years. I always thought this was a top-secret recipe that only we knew about, but I Googled it today, and it looks like everyone has been enjoying Oreo Balls since the beginning of time. Oh, and if you want to get fancy about it, apparently, the appropriate terminology for these sweets are "Oreo Truffles." Who knew?

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died yesterday at the age of 50, but he was always a kid at heart. Take a look at this food fight he organized with Macaulay Culkin after filming his video Black and White. It looks like everyone, except maybe the director (John Landis), had a lot of fun. Thanks to Serious Eats for the lead.
Do you let your kids have food fights?

To me, Memorial Day conjures up heavenly images and aromas of meat sizzling on the barbecue, potato salad, baked beans, and ice cream. But many of us would rather spend the day with our families than standing at the grill. For this reason, I'm posting this recipe for BBQ Ribs. You make in the crock pot, letting 'em slow cook all day long while you attend to business that's a little more, well, fun!
