Caramel Apple Bread Pudding
‘Tis apple season. You can literally feel it in the autumn air. There’s a mix of crispness and warmth…which is coincidentally a great combo for fall food. In fact, everything I’ve been cooking lately has included at least one apple. Seasonal fruit is just so darn tasty! I have a few recipes...
Lobster Flatbread with Artichokes
Two posted recipes in one week?! Am I slowly getting back to normal? No promises yet, but I’m definitely trying my best to keep in touch with you guys more often. Like I said on Wednesday, some settling-into-the-new-job pains have subsided and I’m slowly getting used to the schedule. It’s an adjustment and...
Drunken Date Bars (with nuts)
I totally laughed out loud when I came up with the name of this recipe. Drunken date bars. With nuts. Too awesome for words. Anywaayy (getting my mind out of the gutter) – it’s important to note that these bars are tasty, healthy, and definitely provide a slight buzz for an after...
Ginger Carrot Soup
Happy first day of fall everyone! The weather has been gorgeous lately…just sunny enough to feel like summer, but with a slight cool breeze to keep you from sweating nonstop throughout the day. It’s awesome. I’m trying to enjoy it as much as possible even though I’ve been incredibly busy. I don’t...
Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Roasted Red Pepper Basil Sauce
So apparently mahi mahi is the “poor man’s” lobster…at least that’s what my dad says every time I order off a menu or make it at home. I think someone at a restaurant in Hawaii said that line to him 20 or 30 years ago, and since Hawaii is a haven for...
Oreo Cookie Butter (Spreadable Oreos)
I have something to confess: I gotz cookies on me mind! Ever since I wrote about cookie butter at the end of July, I can’t get the concept out of my head…or mouth. I literally want to slather everything with a delicious dessert dip. But it’s not only the spreadable variety that’s consuming my...
Crab Pot Pie
Sorry for my mini blogging hiatus this past week (does a week even count as a hiatus?); I went on vacation to Atlantic Beach, NC for a couple days. Seems like it would be a great place to unwind, but it was a weird trip. The perfect word for it would be...
Peach and Plum Puffed Pastry Napoleons
I’ve always thought that true summertime desserts were hard to find. Often they are heavy, super sweet, and don’t really blend well with the light and fresh feeling of the season. Don’t get me wrong, I love pigging out, but why can’t dessert FEEL like summer? Well, with this recipe it can. Last year...
Sautéed Zucchini and Peppers (My Go-To Veggies)
I’m known as a vegetable pusher within my family. With every meal I bluntly ask if they’ve had any veggies. If the answer is no, I give a not-so-subtle disapproving glance in their direction that sometimes creates an argument. Is it the most effective way to endorce nutrition? Proooobably not. But what...
Speculoos: Cookie Butter
Um yeah…. So apparently I haven’t posted a Food Find since October 2012. It’s safe to say that I’m slacking on that front. Big time. But rest assured, I haven’t stopped finding cool, tasty, and unique food products and restaurants over the last nine months! I just get sidetracked with life and recipes and all...
White Chocolate Strawberry Cookies
Omg. THIS recipe. I came up with this white chocolate strawberry cookie recipe last summer and after my dad tried one, he practically forced me to make batch after batch. Continuously. I’m not kidding. He would come home from work with bags of white chocolate and buckets of strawberries and be like...
Jalapeño Watermelon Margarita
It’s finally Friday! Did anyone else have an excruciatingly slow week? Seems like that’s the norm after a holiday…the next 7 days just drag on and on. But never fear; only a few hours left until all of us can kick off our shoes, take off silly work clothes, and unwind with...
