Now that the Super Bowl is over, crunchy and salty are out for me. This Valentine’s Day, I’m craving something really sweet. I want creamy and crumbly and sugary! This year, I won’t be spending tons of money at a fancy restaurant. I’m staying in with my boyfriend and cooking up a romantic meal that I know we’ll both enjoy.

Nutella has spread (pun intended) all over the world, and has become so popular that there is actually a day devoted to it. In 2007, two American food bloggers in Italy created World Nutella Day. This year the holiday lands on Feb. 5. So here we are, three years later, continuing to celebrate the worldwide domination of Nutella. And why shouldn’t we? It’s creamy, chocolate-y and completely addictive.

A couple years ago we wrote about a great cause called Drop In & Decorate where bakers and non-bakers alike get together to decorate cookies for donation. Already in its eighth year, this tax-exempt nonprofit organization founded by food writer Lydia Walshin of The Perfect Pantry is still going strong. And this year, they have added an extra incentive!
But who better to tell you about the event than the founder herself? Take it away Lydia…

Jeez, Purim completely snuck up on me. Usually I try and find time to make my own hamantaschen but this year, no time and no warning prevented me from doing so. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other drool-worthy photos of hamantaschen circulating the Internet. Let’s all take a look at some of the best looking renditions of the most delicious part of Purim: the hamantaschen.

…make lemon ricotta cookies! You’re probably thinking hey, shouldn’t it be “when life gives you lemons…”? Well not in this case. You see, the night before, I put together my spinach and mushroom lasagna and wound up with a ton of extra ricotta mixture (ricotta cheese mixed with eggs). Had it not been for a sudden stroke of genius to use this mixture in a dessert with some meyer lemons I had in the house, the ricotta would have gone to waste. But nevertheless, YOU MUST MAKE THESE COOKIES and I’ll tell you why.

After I found out that a New York baker was selling chocolate cookies he called “drunken Negro heads,” I thought long and hard about whether or not to blog about this disgusting story. You see, negative publicity is still publicity and with a racist cookie like this, I wouldn’t want to inadvertently send anyone to this guy’s bakery. But, these cookies are such an over-the-top racist expression that I thought you should know they exist.
Video and interviews with this baker after the jump.
