Who doesn’t love cheesecake? Me. Wait, should I admit that? Here I am on Tiny Kitchen Big Taste showing you how to make the Best Homemade Cheesecake in an Instant Pot and I don’t even like it?!? What’s the deal? Here is the deal. As I often talk about in my blogs, I used to…
Dessert Recipes
Small-batch desserts are one of the genuine advantages of cooking for two — a proper chocolate cake that serves four instead of twelve, chocolate truffles you can finish in an evening, cookies that don't require a battalion to eat. These are the recipes worth saving room for.
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…
First Man Moon Pies
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…
Watermelon Sorbet
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…
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…
4th of July Fruit Skewers
Happy 4th of July! Here in America, we are truly blessed to have so many things to be thankful for this Independence Day. With all the fun celebrations comes great food and a need to figure out what to bring to the BBQ. These 4th of July Fruit Skewers are a great addition to any…
Açaí Bowl
Açaí! Pronounce ah-sigh-ˈEE, it’s one of those cool words I envision yelling as I launch from a zip line platform in the middle of the Brazilian rainforest. Açaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! They probably have a zipline somewhere in the rainforest, right? Well, until I have the good fortune to take a trip to Brazil (which is definitely on…

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…
Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Grandma’s Apple Crisp Crumble Pie
I think there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked Apple Pie. Unfortunately, even though it’s easy, you just don’t get that satisfaction by picking one up at a local restaurant or the grocery store. Enter Grandma’s Apple Crisp Crumble Pie. Why that name? Well, It’s my Grandma’s recipe that was passed down…
Freedom Pops
The Fourth of July is one of my most favorite holidays. It brings back such great memories of my childhood…heading down in full red, white and blue attire to the Fourth of July parade on Foothill Boulevard in La Cañada Flintridge, California. Perched on my folding lawn chair, I could have sit there happily all…
