As I am scrambling around at the last minute each Halloween looking for a costume and trying to plan on what to make for this year’s Halloween parties, I tell myself that next Halloween I am going to plan ahead and pick out a costume and plan a great Halloween-themed food in SEPTEMBER! …or at…
Quick & Easy Recipes
Low effort, great results. These recipes are simple, forgiving, and fast — 45 minutes or less, minimal active prep, nothing that requires a culinary degree. The kind of cooking that makes a weeknight feel manageable.
Meatballs!
It only took 101 episodes for me to get to my family’s recipe for Meatballs. Haha! To be honest, I had planned on doing this as one of the first recipes I made, but evidently, I got carried away with 100 other recipes. Do not let that diminish the fact that this is an amazing…
Homemade Seasoned Salt
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…
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…
Tiny Kitchen Slider Sauce
Every great slider needs a great sauce… and this one is the reason people ask me what’s on the burger before they ask me what’s in the burger. It’s four ingredients, one small bowl, and about sixty seconds — and it tastes even better than the special sauce you’ve been trying to reverse-engineer from your…

The $10,000 Food Network Award-Winning Crab Cake
(feat. Demal Mattson)
It’s no secret, I love food. But it’s more than just something that tastes great. I love how food connects people. Whether a family sitting across the table from each other, a couple out on their first date or two friends chatting over food, eating is something we all have in common and something that…
TKBT On Location:
Sparkling Cocktails (Morning Mimosa,
TK Bay Berry Fizz, Classic Champagne Cocktail)
A few years back, I started having a real appreciation for Champagne. Before that, I never really considered it as an option because, frankly, I didn’t really like it. Of course, we had Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider growing up on holidays and I loved that. But then, I remember tasting Champagne for the first time when…
