• Danny Seo Columns Offer Tips for Living an Annoyingly Green Lifestyle

    The Arizona Republic, desperate for something to squeeze between the ads as more reporters get laid off, started running a new, syndicated column today by greener-than-thou marketer Danny Seo. Seo's like a cross between Heloise, Martha Stewart and Al Gore -- he wants to save Earth by small acts of greenificence, such as using VCR tape for ribbons around presents. Embarrassingly, even for the Republic, a locally written puff piece accompanies Seo's introductory column that explains ho

• "Handmade Nation" at Modified Arts Crafty Antidote to "Prozac Nation"

  While some of us race to the SSRIs for serenity, others of us have decided that taking up a craft for comfort and creative expression is the way to go. Actually, some of us, like me, for instance, do both for balance. Blame it on either early 60's back-to-nature hippie culture or maybe Martha Stewart's elegant entertaining excess of the 80's (even I succumbed to the lure of her cheese-piped endive appetizers). Or perhaps it's the primordial human need to make beautiful and/or useful things t

• Monday Night Martha: Potato Skins

  We're cross-pollinating Martha Stewart with Rachael Ray tonight. The dish is called "Stuffed Potatoes with Ham, Thyme and Gruyere" AKA "I bought a flippin' huge bag of potatoes and now I don't know what to do with them." We uncovered the recipe in Ray's book 30 Minute Meals, a classic for any lazy cook. In typical Ray style, this couldn't be easier to make, and you don't really have to stick to the recipe that closely. Stuff the potatoes with blue cheese, mushrooms, bacon or anything th

• More Bianco Love From Gourmet and Food Wine

  In case you had any doubt that people are actually making pilgrimages to Phoenix for some Pizzeria Bianco action, get a load of the double-whammy of national media props for the restaurant -- which comes on the heels of Martha Stewart's six-page feature on Chris Bianco. This month, Gourmet features Chris Bianco's Pizza Philosophy, noting that Bianco "dispenses profane folk wisdom like a vending machine." And Food Wine's just-out June issue says Pizzeria Bianco has "arguably Amer

• Beach Bites: The King of Vodka

  Nothing says summer like vodka. OK, that's not true. Nothing says depressing, oppressive Russian winters like vodka. But, in any case, nothing says summer like a soap opera-like novel focused on an alcoholic drink. That's just what you'll find in Phoenix-born-and-raised author Linda Himelstein's new book: The King of Vodka. Just don't ask us how a girl from the Valley ended up writing the chronicles of Russian serf-turned-nobility Pyotr Smirnov. (Recognize the name? Substitute the "v" f

  It's too hot to cook, so just skip to dessert. That's our philosophy, anyway. Besides, most summertime desserts have the added benefit of being cold, and anything that helps beat the heat is a winner.

  Some like it hot. This time of year, though, there's a huge difference between a hot kitchen and a hot beach. Somehow the latter inevitably wins out. But that doesn't mean you can't plot your future kitchen adventures while soaking up some rays. In fact, the new Martha Stewart's Cupcakes book is such a drool-worthy read that you'll be eager to get yourself to an oven, pronto. Packed with 175 recipes and tons of those unbelievably pretty photos that we've come to e

  ​You know how little boys make fun of girls for having dolls, and then go and play with "action figures" themselves? A similar thing happened with the now famous KidRobot Munny figure, a cute, bulbous little vinyl doll that comes totally naked. (Remove head from gutter. It's blank so artists can customize it.) ​What started out as a Japanese toy trend and later moved into the American geek subculture has now remarkably found it's way into trendy toy stores, hip-hip shops and even -- ga

• No-bake Spiderweb Cheesecake

  ​ Halloween is nigh and we are busy getting ready. For this week's Monday Night Martha we decided to spin a web of artery clogging goodness and make Martha Stewart's No-bake Spiderweb Cheesecake. This recipe is not for the faint of heart as it calls for 32 oz. of cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to make the filling. Not to mention the stick and a half of butter in the crust. If you are trying to bulk up to fill out your Chewbacca costume, eating several servings of this cake co

• Skip the Hassle, Pre-Order Your Thanksgiving

  Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, giving thanks for all you have. And for slaving away at a hot stove for six hours -- basting and checking and basting and checking the turkey, peeling and mashing potatoes, cooking green beans, dicing onions and celery, stirring the gravy, etc. Whew. Hard work! http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtsang/ / CC BY 2.0​You could do that, if you're a Martha Stewart type with a cute white apron and a perky attitude that
