I always laugh thinking that a few short years ago I did not like fish….at all. Although, the funny thing really is that there are actually a lot of foods (and I mean a LOT of food) that I didn’t like growing up. Most of the food I didn’t like…was because I didn’t like them. …
French Recipes
French cooking has a reputation for being intimidating. It isn't — it's just technique, and once you understand why the technique works, it's some of the most satisfying cooking you'll ever do. From a proper French onion soup to a roasted chicken with thyme, fennel, and carrots that fills the whole kitchen with something incredible, these recipes bring real French flavor home without the fuss.
Classic French Mussels
Mussels have a sweet spot in my heart. From the first time I had them in Paris with my buddy Kross, I was not prepared for my lifelong love of these humble bivalve mollusks. The funny thing is that I had them by happenstance when I was in France. I was traveling there after my…
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…
Chocolate Truffles
It’s the holiday season! Well, it’s November 27th and, frankly, that’s good enough for me. To be perfectly honest with you, I was ready pretty-much around Halloween this year because I made it a point to get the holidays kicked off early. (Thank you Hallmark Channel for starting Christmas on October 26th and fitting perfectly…
French Fries Two Ways:
Baked and Fried
Who doesn’t love French Fries? I have not met a single person in my whole life who doesn’t love French Fries. So in support for the food that everyone loves, we’re making them not one, but two ways. First, we’re going to fry up a batch. And second, for those looking for a healthier option,…
TKBT On Location:
Sparkling Cocktails (Morning Mimosa,
TK Bay Berry Fizz, Classic Champagne Cocktail)
A few years back, I started having a real appreciation for Champagne. Before that, I never really considered it as an option because, frankly, I didn’t really like it. Of course, we had Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider growing up on holidays and I loved that. But then, I remember tasting Champagne for the first time when…

Easy Chocolate Ganache
I’m going to be completely honest with you — I’ve always thought ganache was one of those fancy pastry-chef things that required culinary school, a double boiler, and probably a French accent. Turns out? It’s two ingredients… well, four if you count the butter and a little secret weapon I sneak in there… one glass…
Mom’s Vegetable Soup
New Year! New You! Yes, it is one of those cheesy clichés that is associated with every diet commercial and gym membership advertisement out there….so why not a food blog and YouTube Channel. (Haha…literally, as I am writing this, I just got a notification on my phone from the store Target, saying: New year, new…
Baked Brie
I have always loved cheese. Admittedly, as a kid, I probably liked it too much. I remember going to Pizza Hut and I would always get a salad from the salad bar. How does that relate to cheese, you ask? Well, my Pizza Hut salad consisted of three small leaves of iceberg lettuce, alfalfa sprouts,…

Puffy, crispy, cheesy, yum! This Green Bean Tart is a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
