The Buzz Log What’s hot on Yahoo! Buzz™ (and why)...

It's a question that most of us are confronted with every evening: What's for dinner? Hungry surfers are setting their searches to yum.

… Hold the meat, please. Searches for "macrobiotic diet" surged 1001%, likely on the news that Christina Applegate, who just declared herself breast cancer-free, is turning to the diet as part of her recovery. Salon.com describes the meal plan as "following a healthy diet of fish, grains, beans and vegetables, and avoiding processed foods."

… The salad days. Maybe the warm weather is the reason for the 758% spike on the easy-to-prepare meals in a bowl. Searches on related links are also impressive. Everything from "salad recipes" and "salad dressing recipes" to the tasty "taco salad," "chicken salad," and "fruit salad" is garnering lookups. 

…Just add carbs. Nothing beats a plate of noodles. Web foodies clearly agree — searches for "pasta" are up 1,563%. The perennial dinner stand-by "pizza" (+84%) is also a top choice, along with "lasagna" (+111%).

…Food fight. Better duck if you're looking for an after-dinner mini-treat. The trendy cupcake bakery Sprinkles Cupcakes (+704%) has slapped a lawsuit on its competitor, Famous Cupcakes, accusing the rival of swiping its trademarked "Modern Dot" cake design. Oh, just let them all eat cake.
