Sweet Baked Battle

Don’t let your food coma from yesterday’s feasting festivities dampen your desire for delicious, because that’s exactly what we’re serving up this week! We round out our month-long look at one of our favorite tubers with a sweet potato throw down sure to leave you scratching your head. How can one pick a winner with these two yummy options?

In one corner, Sarah’s throwing a right hook with waffles made with the sweet and nutritious stuff, taken to the next level with some honey pecan butter. And in the other corner, Amy’s serving up a sure T.K.O. with pecan-dotted, meringue-iced sweet potato cinnamon rolls.

Needless to say: There’s so much to be grateful for this week on We The Eaters! So, c’mon morning glory (did you know sweet potatoes are actually of the same family?), let’s do the thing

Making Beer Batter … I Mean, Cake Better!

It may be December 26th, but we’re still in the spirit (or spirits!) here at We The Eaters. And lest we forget one of our faves after raiding the liqour and wine cabinets all month … today we’re focusing on beer.

These two cake recipes both use dark, rich beers. But Adam travels to Ireland and includes some tasty Guinness in his chocolate cake recipe, while April brings in a smoky rauchbier for her delicious take.

Cheers!

Oh, The Horror Of It All

Both cooking and eating can be fraught with peril. We touched on this last week in looking at why food is a treacherous thing, but this week is the masters course.

In one corner, the kitchen disasters we’ve all experienced. In the other, the foods we tried — or saw — we wish we hadn’t (though some would eat again!) From kitchen horror stories … to equally chilling encounters with foods so strange, they’ll make you never want to eat again. (At least not tonight!)

Caveat emptor, and happy reading. Don’t forget to share YOUR story in the comment section!
