Biscotti is typically a sweet treat, but it's delicious when made with savory ingredients like Parmesan cheese and fresh-cracked black pepper. These crisp, cracker-like cookies make a delightful homemade gift.

Pepper Pop Quiz!
Last week I told you about the ESPN reporter who accidentally ate the world's hottest pepper.

Off to Market Recap: Pepper Grinder
Last night, the soup I made was a little off in the seasonings. I'm pretty sure it's because my new kitchen doesn't have a pepper grinder! My kitchen is far from being complete, but I can't function one more day without freshly ground black pepper.

How to Choose Eyeglasses by Your Hair Color
Recently, I made my yearly — OK, it's been more than a year — trip to the eye doctor.
