You know what’s quietly one of the most useful things in my spice cabinet? My homemade seasoned salt. I know, I know — it sounds almost too simple to bother with. But there’s a reason I stopped buying the stuff in the container with the red cap years ago… once you make your own, you…

Homemade Potato Salad
I refuse to let Summer go! Technically, Fall doesn’t begin until September 22nd, but Labor Day always seems to feel like the last Hoorah of summer. In my World, Labor Day is synonymous with grilling and great side dishes like Homemade Potato Salad. For those of you not from the United States, Labor Day is…
Calzone
I woke up this morning to the announcement that one of my best friends and his wife just had their new baby, so this Tuesday morning is definitely starting off on the right foot. I am so happy for them and their new 7 lb., 9 oz. bouncing baby girl!! Congratulations! And with me being…
Fried Rice
When I’m creating recipes for Tiny Kitchen Big Taste, I always try to create dishes for people who love big taste, but who might be: Tight on Time Tight on Space Tight on Budget This Fried Rice recipe is one that hits the bullseye on all three! Tight on Time First, Fried Rice can be…
Avocado Baked Eggs
Admittedly, I am one who, more often than not, skips breakfast. It’s not good. I know. I know. And…actually, I notice a difference on the days when I’ve had a good breakfast versus those where I don’t have anything…or I think I’ll get by with a cup of coffee and a protein bar. Never seems…

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…
