We Can Do It Better: Glazed Pineapple Cookies
So, I fully intended to remake these cookies a lot sooner than this. However between Christmas, a string of birthdays, and then Easter it’s kind of been dessert overload over here for the past few months. Only now that most of the dessert baking occasions have passed did I really feel inspired to give these cookies another go.
If you remember from the original Test the Recipe post, following that recipe the cookies came out fine, but weren’t really very pineapple-y and the glaze was kind of a disaster. So my mission was to bring more pineapple to the cookies while also improving the glaze. Luckily this was kind of a two birds with one stone type situation. So, what changes did I make?
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Is Bullshit OR How I Stopped Getting Canker Sores
Musings is an off-topic column featured on PCFG that touches on things that are tangentially related to eating or food or wellness, but don’t fit into the rest of the site. If you’re looking for creative writing, straight blogging, and general musings, then you’ve come to the right place! For all of our food coverage, click basically any other link on the site.
Food is awesome. Eating food is awesomer. Eating delicious food is awesomest. Know what’s not awesome? Frigging canker sores. Holy shit are they awful. There’s not many conditions out there which can bring you to tears just by chewing, but these mouth ulcers are more than capable of doing so. And when eating food becomes literally painful, you have a real problem.
Anything that stands between me and my burritos is pure evil.
The Snack Report: Quaker’s Safari Animals Oatmeal
In Meg and I’s ongoing quest to pretend we’re adults, we continue to fail in glorious, brilliant, new ways, ranging from tickle fights that lead to broken noses, to cookies ending up in someone’s underwear. This last week however we had another sterling display of why we’re both mentally 8 years old. While preparing for a party we were throwing, we ended up running late. In the process of buying some last minute groceries for said party, we walked into a store and told ourselves “Okay. We’re gonna be late for our own party. Let’s make this quick; we can’t get distracted.”
About two minutes in, we ended up sidetracked in the cereal aisle marveling at Batman VS Superman cereals, and then were stopped dead in our tracks mesmerized because there’s a new version of that dinosaur oatmeal, now featuring safari animals.

Cheat Code: Egg-less Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies
I realize this is now our third chocolate chip cookie recipe on the blog, but well, we really like chocolate chip cookies. While the chocolate chip cookie recipe using cream cheese instead of eggs came about out of necessity, this recipe was developed strictly out of curiosity. I remembered from an old episode of Good Eats that Alton Brown said that avocados are actually kind of similar to eggs in terms of fat content so that got me to wondering if avocado could also replace eggs in cookies. And I was right! The cookies ended up with a slightly different flavor than regular chocolate chip cookies, but nothing that can really be pin-pointed to avocado. Even skeptics will enjoy these cookies. They’re also some of the most cakey chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had, so if that’s your favorite type of cookie, then these are for you.
Food 101: How To Make A Roast Chicken
Everyone likes chicken. That’s a fact of life. Even vegetarians like chicken, they’re just morally opposed the consumption of it (and even then it seems like most will admit chicken is the least morally objectionable of meats to consume). As far as I can tell there’s no religions specifically forbidding its consumption either. So yeah, chicken is like totally the best. And there’s a billion different ways to prepare it. We’ve talked about at least a hundred and fifty thousand of those ways, but today we’re gonna go back to where it all began and discuss the classic, basic dish of a simple roast chicken.
