The Food We Like to Talk About vs. The Food We Actually Make

We get it, America. You're not making gourmet meals at home every night. You're probably making this creamy, cheesy sludge.

Apparently in the kitchen, we're all talk and no action.

Slate reporter Nicholas Hune-Brown recently wrote about the huge gap between the ultra-foodie recipes we like to talk about and the actual recipes we're searching for on sites like Allrecipes.com, the most popular English-language food website in the world.

"What’s remarkable isn’t so much Allrecipes’ dominance but how distant the site feels from the food conversation in the media," Hune-Brown writes.

So it's time for confessions. Listeners call in with their guilty pleasure, totally down-scale recipes. And feel free to keep tweeting recipes at @BrianLehrer.

Dan Pashman, host of The Sporkful, joins to talk about our foodie vs. lazy nature.
