It’s Keto Month here on Tiny Kitchen Big Taste!! I’m kicking off the month with these great Keto-friendly Granola Bars that I have named Tiny Kitchen Zip Bars because they’ll put a little Zip in your step and will help sustain you through the day or during a workout or hike! Over the past year,…
30-Minute Recipes
Start to finish in 30 minutes or less. Not "30 minutes if you already prepped everything" — actual 30 minutes, from opening the fridge to sitting down with a real meal. Because that's what most weeknights actually call for.
Tiny Kitchen Cocktail Month:The Manhattan!
“I’ll have a Manhattan, please.” Just saying it sounds so sophisticated. Perhaps because it is one of those classic cocktails that has been around forever…so, it definitely has clout. I remember having my first Manhattan when I was training to be a bartender. I had heard about the drink, but never really knew what was…
Tiny Kitchen Cocktail Month:Mixing up a Moscow Mule!
As it’s described, the Moscow Mule is the drink with a velvet kick! That says it all! Smooth and refreshing with a squeeze of lime, this Vodka drink gets its sweetness and spiciness from Ginger Beer, which is a non-alcoholic bubbly soda that’s traditionally made by natural fermentation of ginger, sugar and brewer’s yeast. The…
Tiny Kitchen Cocktail Month:The Classic Old Fashioned
In the words of the great American philosophers Pop duo, MKTO: You’re over my head I’m out of my mind Thinking I was born in the wrong time One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic Baby, you’re so classic! While they may have been singing about a girl in their very catchy…
Tiny Kitchen Cocktail Month:Let’s Make a Martini!
My Dad always loved a good Martini and I always loved stealing the olives that were soaking in his Martini. The way I saw it, I was doing him a real favor getting rid of those pesky olives from his drink. So yum! The first few times I did it…he never said anything. He acted…

Classic French Mussels
Mussels have a sweet spot in my heart. From the first time I had them in Paris with my buddy Kross, I was not prepared for my lifelong love of these humble bivalve mollusks. The funny thing is that I had them by happenstance when I was in France. I was traveling there after my…

Brie Phyllo Cups
“Just hear those sleigh bells ringin’ and a jing-jing-jinglin’ too. It’s lovely weather to make Brie Phyllo Cups together with you!” That seems like a lot of extra syllables there, but I’m pretty sure that’s how the song goes. I’m definitely in the holiday spirit this year and I’m just so happy to have Alexis…
Cranberry RelishQuick, Easy and Yummy!
Just saying the words Cranberry Relish is enough to get me excited about the coming holidays! I just can’t wait for Thanksgiving! I just talked with my Mom this morning and we were planning what everyone is going to make this year. And as usual, it’s the usual: My brother-in-law is making the Turkey (inherited…
Make a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Home!
It’s fall…which means it’s Pumpkin Spice Latte season! I remember my very first fancy coffee drink! It was September 2001 and I was with my friend Amy, who loved Starbucks. When I say loved, that is an understatement. She LOVED Starbucks! She would get a “fancy coffee drink,” as I like to call them, every…
