If you are anywhere near Chicago, you must try Lou Malnati’s pizza. It is a Chicago deep dish pizza classic. If you are not anywhere near Chicago, try making it at home with Marc Malnati’s Chicago deep dish pizza recipe.

An Apple Pancake Original
As a general rule, when I go to a new restaurant I like to try their signature dish. This past weekend we were in Chicago, and across the street from our hotel was The Original Pancake House (or so the sign said). Their signature dish was an apple pancake, so I ordered it.

Birdie, Want a Wheat Cracker?
If you want a pan that can do just about anything, get a cast iron one. It can fry a steak, sauté veggies, simmer a stew and even bake a cake! It does especially well with pineapple upside down cake. It bakes the cake evenly inside and creates a nice crunchy outside. If it is well-seasoned, the pan will even let the cake slide hassle-free from it. Now if only the pan could clean up after itself.
Hello, Mr. Potato Bread!
I’m on a roll when it comes to making food for Saint Patrick’s Day. First there was the Irish soda bread and then the shamrock-shaped key lime bars. Now I’m making potato bread dinner rolls.
Has a song ever inspired you to bake? While debating with myself what to bake for my next post for Girl Meets Oven, the song “Coconut” suddenly popped into my head. If you are not familiar with it, the chorus goes, “She put the lime in the coconut; she drank ’em both up.” Then I thought instead of drinking lime and coconut, why not bake with them? Lime and coconut bars could make for a tasty and fun Saint Patrick’s Day treat.
Usually I am a green beer and shamrock shake kind of gal on Saint Patrick’s Day. It wouldn’t be Saint Patrick’s Day without green food coloring in my food or drink. However, this year I am not feeling quite myself. I am making something that is actually not green for the big day. Well, it’s not green yet anyway. I’m making Irish soda bread.
