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.
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…
Homemade Croutons
A crouton is the type of thing that I think most people overlook. I did. Sure, croutons are supposed to add a little crunch to a salad, but in my experience, they’re usually a little stale or soggy, way too garlicky or just taste overly-processed. And so, I think people generally don’t think much about…
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…
Holy Guacamole!
Avocados are a funny thing. They’re kind of like Cilantro in the way that people respond to them. People are either a huge fan or they really can’t stand them. Admittedly, I was in the latter camp on both accounts. As you can see from my last recipe, Cinco de Mayo Street Tacos, and this…
Homemade Cajun Seasoning
I’ll be honest — I kept Cajun seasoning that I got from Applebee’s when I worked there in a recycled gray plastic spice jar for longer than I care to admit. It was so good, and eventually that gray plastic spice jar was empty. Then, one day, I did a little research about what typically…

How to Make Hummus
I love easy recipes that taste great. Hummus is one of those. And it’s funny, think about it, when is the last time you thought to make hummus at home? What? Never? Hey, I totally get it…that was me! Hummus just seemed to be one of those items that’s easier to pick up at the…
Tabouli!
When I travel, of course I love to see the sights, especially when it’s something like the Pyramids, the Colosseum or the Eiffel Tower. The times that are most memorable to me, though, are those experiences I have with the local people. And one thing you can count on, especially when traveling outside of the…
Bourbon Street Glazed Carrots
It’s Fat Tuesday in TinyKitchenland and we’re making Bourbon Street Glazed Carrots! Mardi Gras has begun!

Homemade BBQ Sauce

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…
