Carrot Cake Rice Pudding
Before you make your judgements. And I know you will. And I know you’re probably also the same person that thinks red velvet is “Just the best thing ever!” Carrot Cake Rice Pudding is all the rage.

Bread Baking 101
My assistant Gilberto wanted to learn how to bake bread. We all know I have zero patience so I wouldn’t be his best teacher. We needed to find someplace and someone who would be nice to him. Luckily we found Le Pain Quotidien. Fun Fact: If you’re visiting New York City. Ask five different people on the street how to find a Le Pain Quotidien. All five people will correct the way you say it and all five will say it a different way. I signed my assistant and I up for Baking 101 at Le Pain Quotidien down on Bleeker Street. I’ve always been familiar with Le Pain Quotidien as a great place to grab a coffee and light lunch.

But I’m Oprah!” We had so much in common that it only made sense that this month I decided to give away one of my favorite things. ONE of my favorite …
