As DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince once rapped in that (ahem, my) 90’s favorite, Summertime: Here it is, a recipe slightly transformed Just a bit of a break from the norm Just a little somethin’ to break the monotony Of all that hardcore heat that has gotten to be A little bit out…
Date Night Recipes
Date night doesn't require a reservation. These are the recipes that make a Tuesday evening feel like a special occasion — elevated enough to impress, approachable enough that you're not still cooking at 10 PM. Built for two. Every time.
Zoodle Lemon Chicken (As Seen on Hallmark Home & Family)
I’ve been traveling a bit this summer and summer is definitely in full force everywhere I am! When I left Los Angeles, we had 115°F. Albeit a dry heat, it was still really, really hot. Shortly thereafter, I made my way to Atlanta where it was nearly 95°F…not 115°F for sure, but with high humidity,…

The $10,000 Food Network Award-Winning Crab Cake
(feat. Demal Mattson)
It’s no secret, I love food. But it’s more than just something that tastes great. I love how food connects people. Whether a family sitting across the table from each other, a couple out on their first date or two friends chatting over food, eating is something we all have in common and something that…

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…
Caprese Salad with a Balsamic Glaze
Caprese Salad drizzled with my Tiny Kitchen’s Homemade Balsamic Glaze — here’s the recipe if you want to make it from scratch. Caprese is one of the quickest and easiest salads you could make. It’s great with a little drizzle of olive oil or with homemade balsamic glaze.

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…
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…

Pan-Seared Scallops over Pasta in a Lemon-White Wine Sauce
Seared Scallops. Mmmmm….let me just drift off for a bit thinking about Seared Scallops for a moment. I love them so much that they undoubtedly rank on the top of my favorite foods list, in a constant battle for the top spot with Chilean Seabass, steamed Crab legs and that incredible bowl of Mussels I…
Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix
Ho! Ho! Ho! Here come the holidays!! I know, I know…it’s only November 28th you say….what’s the rush? Hey, there are only 27 days until Christmas…and only 14 days until the first day of Hanukkah. Time flies, y’all, when you’re having fun…and before you know it, the joy of the holidays will be upon us. …
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…
