Classic Soft Pretzel

by Stephen on Sep 2, 2014 • No Comments

Hello hello! It’s me. Stephen. Long time no see, I know I know. I’m not going to lie, it was a busy summer and I feel like I’ve barely cooked in ages. Hopefully now that autumn is fast approaching, I’ll be able to spend more time in...

Lobster Flatbread with Artichokes

by Stephen on Oct 4, 2013 • 2 Comments

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)

by Stephen on Oct 2, 2013 • No Comments

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

by Stephen on Aug 27, 2013 • 1 Comment

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)

by Stephen on Aug 23, 2013 • No Comments

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

by Stephen on Aug 6, 2013 • 2 Comments

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)

by Stephen on Jul 31, 2013 • 4 Comments

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

by Stephen on Jul 26, 2013 • 1 Comment

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

by Stephen on Jul 22, 2013 • 4 Comments

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

by Stephen on Jul 12, 2013 • 5 Comments

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...

Raspberry Lemonade Ice Pops

by Stephen on Jul 8, 2013 • 1 Comment

Throughout my entire life, my mom has made huge pitchers of lemonade during the summer. Sometimes it’s from concentrate, other times it’s freshly squeezed, but no matter what it’s always chillin’ in our fridge. On the other hand, my dad stocks the freezer with ice pops when it’s hot outside. It’s the...
