Easter is Coming! I cannot wait. It is one of my most favorite times of year…one filled with redemption. With this great holiday comes great food and treats. Of course, Easter candy in a big Easter basket has always been a favorite of mine! But if you’re following a Keto diet, unfortunately, most of the…
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.

Valentine’s DayMini Ice Cream Love Pies
Love or hate Valentine’s Day, the way I see it, it is a good excuse to make a great meal for someone you care about. Notice I said, “make a great meal.” I didn’t say, “drop a chunk of change on a pre-set or limited Valentine’s Day menu at your local fancy restaurant.” That’s right!…
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…
Happy Thanksgiving!Pecan Pie
Thanksgiving is upon us and I just can’t wait for Turkey Day! I just love Thanksgiving…and being in Atlanta this year, I think we might be in for some cool weather…which I am also very excited about because it has been in the 80s in Los Angeles for the past several weeks. It is nice…
TKBT’s 100th EPISODE!!!100-Layer Tiramisu Crepe Cake
100 Episodes of Tiny Kitchen Big Taste!!! Woo Hoo! I just can’t believe it!!

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…
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…
