I love easy recipes that taste great. Hummus is one of those. And it’s funny, think about it, when is the last time you thought to make hummus at home? What? Never? Hey, I totally get it…that was me! Hummus just seemed to be one of those items that’s easier to pick up at the…
Vegetable Recipes
Vegetables aren't a side thought here — they're the main event. From roasted Brussels sprouts that'll convert the skeptics to a Greek frittata packed with summer vegetables, these recipes prove that produce, done properly, is some of the most satisfying food you can make.
Italian Chopped Salad
I love Italian Chopped Salads! There is something about them that is so substantial and satisfying. Just makes me happy!! Several years ago, a friend of mine and I would frequently head to this old school Italian joint, Antonio’s Pizzeria, in our neighborhood to get an Italian Chopped Salad. Actually, we would always order the Italian…
Tabouli!
When I travel, of course I love to see the sights, especially when it’s something like the Pyramids, the Colosseum or the Eiffel Tower. The times that are most memorable to me, though, are those experiences I have with the local people. And one thing you can count on, especially when traveling outside of the…
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…
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…
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
When I think of Thanksgiving, I think Mashed Potatoes. But it seems over the years, we’ve always have had it the same buttery way. Although, I don’t know if you can count that period in the 90s, during the fat-free craze, that we used fake powdered butter. #Ashamed Aside from that, in the Fucci household,…
Bruschetta
Tomatoes! Yum! At least that’s how most everyone sees it. I guess I am not most everyone. I know, saying that I don’t like the main ingredient in one of my recipes is not the greatest sales pitch, but I’d rather be honest with you than make you think that I think raw tomatoes are…
Gordon Ramsay’s Avocado on Toast with a Twist (feat. Marie Plantoinette)
I have been wanting to collaborate with someone in the Tiny Kitchen for a while, so I was thrilled when I met Marie Plantoinette. She’s got a great perspective on cooking focusing on plant-based recipes which is completely different than what I traditionally do on Tiny Kitchen Big Taste. I was especially thrilled (and impressed)…
Bacon Blistered Shrimp and Green Beans
Not to be confused with the mid-sized car from the Ford Motor Company, Fusion in the food world generally refers to the mixing of culinary traditions, whether ingredients or techniques, that are unique to specific cultures. It sounds fancy, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, one of the most notable examples of fusion…
Summer Lovin’ Spring Rolls
Summer is all about great food and these Summer Lovin’ Spring Rolls definitely fit the bill. A couple of months ago, I was fortunate enough to be on Food Network’s Cooks vs. Cons. I won’t divulge what happened on the show (you’ll have to watch), but during the course of shooting the episode, there was…
Arugula Feta Melon Salad
Summer is in full swing and nothing beats the heat quite like a cool, crisp and refreshing salad. I don’t know about you, but when I hear cool, crisp and refreshing, one word comes to mind: Watermelon. Hey, it’s not just a summertime snack anymore. We’re taking this all-time summer favorite and mixing it with…
Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Making great food is all about sharing it with the ones you love. It’s about the whole experience of the meal, though…not just the food. So, of course, I love recipes that I can make in advance so that when my guests arrive, I have time to spend with them, rather than being stuck in…
