I love the combination of jalapeños and cheese. One of my first recipes I tried when I got my own place was these little fried wontons with a filling of cream cheese, cheddar cheese and jalapeños from Emril. Those were the days when my TV lived on the food network and I could barely cook […]
Strawberry Sugar Cookies + Video
My children are always asking me about my ‘favorites’. ‘What’s your favorite day of the week?’, ‘What’s your favorite movie?’, ‘Favorite song?’, and most popular, ‘What’s your favorite fruit?’. My answer is always, ‘Strawberries! I said that already.’ I guess they think one day it will change. I will admit though, it may not always […]
Chocolate Chip Brownie Cookies
If you gave me a choice between a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie and there was no way that I could have them both, the decision would be pretty difficult. With these chocolate chip brownie cookies, you really can have them both. They have the texture of a brownie and morsels of chocolate chips […]
Peach Upside Down Cake
Want me to let you in on a little secret? My favorite part of a pineapple upside down cake is NOT the pineapple. It’s the cake! I could actually do without the pineapple completely. I generally will eat the cake and let my children have the pineapple. Yes, it’s all about the cake for me. […]
Butternut Squash Chili
Chili just screams winter and cold weather, but this butternut squash chili is so good that you will crave it all year long. I love butternut squash. Like, really love it. I am always looking for ways to use it. As a sauce for my cauliflower pizza, as a substitute for pumpkin in the best […]
Zucchini Bread
Zucchini bread is easily number 2 on the list of my favorite quick breads (butternut squash bread being number 1 of course!). It is delicious, moist and loaded with zucchini which is so nutrient rich. Tons of vitamin C, Potassium (super important to consume in foods because this is a mineral that isn’t produced […]
Blueberry Hand Pies
Blueberry Hand Pies was the first bake along recipe that I tried and I am sure glad I did! I have been wanting to participate in King Arthur Flour’s Bake Along since they started it in 2016. I am sure this will be one of my favorites of the many bake alongs I plan to […]
Green Bean Casserole
Everyone needs a few good casseroles in their repertoire. Green Bean Casserole should definitely be one of them. This version is a little different than your traditional green bean casserole. Ok it’s a lot different, but it tastes so good. Red bell peppers add a pop of color and flavor to this dish while bread […]
Cauliflower Tacos
I love it when I know a recipe is going to be great before I even make it. That is how I felt when I decided to make cauliflower tacos. Because why not? I love cauliflower for so many reasons and one of those reasons is that you can pretty much make it taste like […]
Homemade Flour Tortillas
Making homemade flour tortillas is so incredibly easy and way better than anything you can buy in the store. By the time it takes you to read the list of ingedients in the shells you can buy, you would have already made your dough. You can do so many things with homemade flour tortillas. Burritos, […]
Peach Cream Tart with Raspberry Hearts
Peach Cream Tart was one of the first desserts I made as a young, aspiring home cook. There was a time when the only channel my TV knew was Food Network. I did a lot of recipe testing back then. Most of them resulting in failures. However, the more I tried, the more successes I […]
The Best Homemade Buns
I find bread making to be extremely rewarding. Therapeutic even. There is something about a finished bread recipe that comes out great that really puts a smile on my face. Homemade buns were one of the first yeast recipes I attempted. When I was finally able to make them without killing my yeast twice each […]
Cream of Wheat Bread + Video
Cream of Wheat bread was the first bread recipe I ever made and I still make it to this day. It’s amazing, especially with chili or navy bean soup. I found this recipe on a website that is no longer active, but I managed to save this recipe. I love Cream of Wheat. Growing up, […]
