I can’t wait to see the First Man movie with Ryan Gosling playing Neil Armstrong. These Tiny Kitchen Big Taste First Man Moon Pies are a tribute to NASA, manned space flight, the first man to walk on the moon….and my dad, who is portrayed in the movie! Here are templates for getting your Edible…
Oven-Only Recipes
Set it, let it do its thing, and come back to something great. These recipes use the oven as the sole heat source — no stovetop juggling required. Sheet pans, baking dishes, a single rack. Simple setup, real results.
Tuscan Kale Salad
I am always in the mood for a hearty salad…one that will fill me up…even though there is no meat. This Tuscan Kale Salad fits the bill with layers of rustic Lacinato Kale, sweet peppers, radishes and strawberries. Top that with some feta cheese, crushed pistachio nuts, lemon zest and our homemade Tiny Kitchen crunchy…
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,…
Calzone
I woke up this morning to the announcement that one of my best friends and his wife just had their new baby, so this Tuesday morning is definitely starting off on the right foot. I am so happy for them and their new 7 lb., 9 oz. bouncing baby girl!! Congratulations! And with me being…
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…
Red, White and Blue Velvet Cupcakes
On July 4th, we celebrate America and the signing of the Declaration of Independence 242 years ago on July 4, 1776. I just love America and everything that goes along with this National holiday, like parades and fireworks and picnics and flags and, of course, all the great 4th of July themed foods. Hopefully these…
Homemade Croutons
A crouton is the type of thing that I think most people overlook. I did. Sure, croutons are supposed to add a little crunch to a salad, but in my experience, they’re usually a little stale or soggy, way too garlicky or just taste overly-processed. And so, I think people generally don’t think much about…

The Best Roasted Potatoes Ever!
(Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary, Garlic and Pine Nuts)
When I create recipes for Tiny Kitchen Big Taste, many of them go through a lot of testing. This was one of them. You might be thinking, “They’re roasted potatoes…what’s to test?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Actually, you didn’t…I just suggested you did so that I could tell you about all the different ways…
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…
Candied Pecans
When I say Candied Pecans, the first thing that pops into my mind is “THEY’RE SO ADDICTIVE!” I promise myself that I’ll only have one or two…or maybe three. Another three won’t hurt. OK, one more…but that’s it. You get the gist. These things are so tasty and good that sometimes it’s hard to control…
Indoor BBQ Chicken Grill
I have been traveling a bit this winter and my adventures have taken me to places where the temperature has dropped to almost single digits. One word: Brrrrrr. Truth be told, though, I love stepping outside the comforts of home and the not-so-chilly 72°F weather we have here in LA in December and January (and…
