Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. That pretty much sums up my holidays. Every year, I say I’m going to get everything done in advance, so that the days leading up to Christmas can just be filled with one (or more than one) of those cheesy Christmas movies that is my guilty pleasure. It’s crazy how…
American Recipes
Chili, cornbread, a proper baked potato, BBQ chicken pizza — American cooking is comfort food with a capital C, and it's perfectly at home in a tiny kitchen. These are the classics done right, built for one or two people.
Chick-fil-A Inspired Orange Chicken
I have always been a huge Chick-fil-A fan! From the time I was a kid growing up in Houston, I used to love to go to the mall because Chick-fil-A would pass out samples of their amazing, perfectly crispy chicken. It was deliciously different! My folks and I would, of course, grab a sample on…
Chinese Chicken Salad
I am in love with this Chinese Chicken Salad. That was true the first time I had my first bite of my first Chinese Chicken Salad when I began waiting tables at Stanley’s Restaurant in Sherman Oaks. If you read my blog for the Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette, you know that the Chinese Chicken Salad that…
Roasted Cauliflower Steaks
Around the holidays, a lot of the food is heavy and not always the healthiest. So, I am always looking to create a recipe or two that can help lighten up this time of year. This Christmas Cauliflower Steak recipe is just perfect to serve as a vegetarian entréeor as a side dish with your…
Brie Phyllo Cups
“Just hear those sleigh bells ringin’ and a jing-jing-jinglin’ too. It’s lovely weather to make Brie Phyllo Cups together with you!” That seems like a lot of extra syllables there, but I’m pretty sure that’s how the song goes. I’m definitely in the holiday spirit this year and I’m just so happy to have Alexis…

We’re kicking off the month with a rich…
Avocado Baked Eggs
Admittedly, I am one who, more often than not, skips breakfast. It’s not good. I know. I know. And…actually, I notice a difference on the days when I’ve had a good breakfast versus those where I don’t have anything…or I think I’ll get by with a cup of coffee and a protein bar. Never seems…
4th of July Fruit Skewers
Happy 4th of July! Here in America, we are truly blessed to have so many things to be thankful for this Independence Day. With all the fun celebrations comes great food and a need to figure out what to bring to the BBQ. These 4th of July Fruit Skewers are a great addition to any…
Captain America Pancakes
Hey! It’s Tax Day here in the USA!!! Yay! But who wants to talk about that? Not me…I’d rather talk food and Superheroes and make Captain America Pancakes! How bout you? Less than a week from today (April 23rd to be exact), Avengers: Infinity War, the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is…
Chicken and Artichokes
My Mom’s Chicken and Artichokes ranks right near the top of my most favorite meals as a kid. As soon as she got out the 1980’s dark brown West Bend Electric Skillet with the cream-colored top, I knew the Fucci family was in store for most likely one of two dishes: Chop Suey or Chicken…
Bourbon Street Glazed Carrots
It’s Fat Tuesday in TinyKitchenland and we’re making Bourbon Street Glazed Carrots! Mardi Gras has begun! The funny thing is that for the longest time I didn’t realize that Mardi Gras is actually French for…you guessed it…Fat Tuesday. (Hey, we’re a multi-faceted operation here at Tiny Kitchen Big Taste…offering the best in great food and…
