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…
Vegetarian Recipes
No meat, no poultry, no seafood — and nothing sacrificed on flavor. These vegetarian recipes are built the same way every TKBT recipe is: real technique, real ingredients, and results that stand on their own.

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…
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…
The Best Roasted Potatoes Ever!
(Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary, Garlic and Pine Nuts)
When I create recipes for Tiny Kitchen Big Taste, many of them go through a lot of testing. This was one of them. You might be thinking, “They’re roasted potatoes…what’s to test?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Actually, you didn’t…I just suggested you did so that I could tell you about all the different ways…
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! The funny thing is that for the longest time I didn’t realize that Mardi Gras is actually French for…you guessed it…Fat Tuesday. (Hey, we’re a multi-faceted operation here at Tiny Kitchen Big Taste…offering the best in great food and…
Candied Pecans
When I say Candied Pecans, the first thing that pops into my mind is “THEY’RE SO ADDICTIVE!” I promise myself that I’ll only have one or two…or maybe three. Another three won’t hurt. OK, one more…but that’s it. You get the gist. These things are so tasty and good that sometimes it’s hard to control…
Homemade BBQ Sauce
No BBQ Sauce. No Problem! You can make your own. Here’s my dad’s basic BBQ Sauce that great on the Tiny Kitchen Big Taste BBQ Chicken Pizza or Tiny Kitchen Big Taste’s Indoor BBQ Chicken Grill. Wait, you say, Tiny Kitchen doesn’t have a BBQ Chicken recipe…hmmmm!?! Maybe there are great things to come. Hint: check…
