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…

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…
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…
Bourbon Street Glazed Carrots
It’s Fat Tuesday in TinyKitchenland and we’re making Bourbon Street Glazed Carrots! Mardi Gras has begun!

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…
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…
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…
Back to Basics Tomato Sauce
I always like getting back to the basics…back to when life was simple and easy. That’s precisely what this recipe is…simple and easy. The hardest part will be to figure out in which dishes you’re gonna use this sauce first. It’s perfect when you need a quick sauce or a sauce to use with other…
Brown-Butter Kissed Grilled Shrimp
Nothing says “I Love You” better than cooking up Brown-Butter Kissed Grilled Shrimp for your special someone. It helped me impress my girlfriend in college and I have a feeling that it might just work for you too! Nothing says “I Love You” better than cooking up Brown-Butter Kissed Grilled Shrimp for your special someone.
Cannoli Stuffed French Toast
There was an Italian word that I heard a lot growing up every time I cooked: phonetically, it’s pronounced “en Gweiki.” I have no clue how to spell it, so forgive me if it’s literal translation in English is actually offensive…but what was explained to me is that it describes an mixture of ingredients thrown…
