Bacon Garlic Knots
I know a lot of you participate in Meatless Mondays, but this recipe is too good not to post right away…so just read it today, enjoy the rest of your Meatless Monday, and then make these knots tomorrow haha. So yeah, this recipe is an amped up version of one of my...

Baked Banana Chips
You know when you grab a handful of tropical trail mix from the store? They always have those crunchy little banana chips scattered throughout all the other dried fruits and nuts. Now, I dunno about you, but I often pick through the bag to pluck out the individual ingredients. There was a...

Spinach, Artichoke, & Asparagus Dip
Another Super Bowl recipe! Watching a football game is great for two reasons – the actual game and the food. Whether you’re tailgating or viewing it from your couch, football is definitely an American past time. Growing up, we watched football all the time, then it died away for a bit until...

Cheesy Crab Toasts
Late night post? Say whattttt? Well…I was clearing out the leftover pics on my camera and found one I randomly took when I made crab stuffed tilapia earlier this month. When I first made that recipe, I had way more stuffing than tilapia filets, so I plopped the rest of the crab...

Grilled Vegetable Tart with Olives
Puffed pasty – you delicious flaky son of a bitch. That’s right, I’ll say what everyone else is thinking. Mr Puff, you are so freakin’ good. Okay, now that I got that out of my system I can think clearly again. So… Cooking with puffed pastry is such a simple way to...

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Whoops, looks like I spent the week slacking off on blog responsibilities…which stinks because I had just gotten into a great posting routine. Sometimes I just don’t want to measure stuff when I cook. But honestly, I guess my lackadaisical effort has mainly been a mix of being moody all week and...

Bagel Chips
Oh my god, could I get any fatter this week? I swear, Hurricane Sandy completely ruined my diet last week and it’s thrown me off my game this week too! To top it off, NJ is being hit by a Nor’easter right now, which has left the roads around me kind of...

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Geez it’s a blusterous day today! Sandy is wailing away at our house and evacuations are going on everywhere, so what do I decide to do? Spend the day cooking and eating! I’m totally in the mood for something simple and seasonal…after all, Halloween is in a couple of days. Since I...

Herb Focaccia with Tomatoes
Bread makes me lose all self control…no way around it. It’s always been a vice of mine that can’t be satisfied until I gorge on a freshly baked loaf (and might I add, it’s a vice I indulge as frequently as I can!). What can I say? I just love the crisp...

Rosemary Popcorn
My mom really likes popcorn. And I mean really likes popcorn. For as long as I can remember, we’ve had tubs of kernels stocked our pantry as well as those microwaveable packets. Heck, we occasionally even have bagged cheesy popcorn around the house. And who didn’t have a tin can filled with...

Apple Chips
What do you do when you have around 18 lbs of apples laying around the house? You cook…duh! After the great apple picking adventure of 2012, I had more apples laying around than I knew what to do with. Lately I’ve been trying to eat healthier, so I didn’t want to make...
