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…

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…

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…
Caprese Salad with a Balsamic Glaze
Caprese Salad drizzled with my Tiny Kitchen’s Homemade Balsamic Glaze — here’s the recipe if you want to make it from scratch. Caprese is one of the quickest and easiest salads you could make. It’s great with a little drizzle of olive oil or with homemade balsamic glaze.
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…
TACO TUESDAY:
Cinco de Mayo Street Tacos
Don’t get me wrong, the traditional tacos I had growing up hold a special place in my heart…especially when they’re done well. To this day, I still remember the traditional tacos my first girlfriend’s mom used to make. They were fantastic…those were traditional tacos done right! To this day, I don’t know exactly what she…
Captain America Pancakes
Hey! It’s Tax Day here in the USA!!! Yay! But who wants to talk about that? Not me…I’d rather talk food and Superheroes and make Captain America Pancakes! How bout you? Less than a week from today (April 23rd to be exact), Avengers: Infinity War, the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is…
Fried Pickles
Everything in life should be as good as Fried Pickles. Perfectly crispy. Perfectly crunchy. A little bit tart and a little bit sweet. Fried Pickles have it all…guaranteed to change the way you think of the dill pickle. Everything in life should be as good as Fried Pickles. Perfectly crispy. Perfectly crunchy. A little…
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…
