Forbidden.

I never would have thought that summer BBQ’s would match up so well with Asian inspired salads. I’ve tested this recipe a few times now at a few outdoor gatherings and I have to tell you, it held up pretty well beside the best of potato salads. I’ve had this rice in my pantry collection...

Waste Not.

Have a kid who won’t eat crusts? I do. So instead of having it continuously irritate me, I’ve decided to please both parties. I was inspired after reading this New York Times article about wasted food. Where I’m really happy I live in an area which makes us separate so they can collect...

Spring means babies and like the title states, I’m the sucker. I see, little, fresh veggies and new and I have to cook them up – in magnitude… I couldn’t resist, when last time at the market I spotted these miniature marvels. Love ‘em or not, these adorable eggplants were...

Valentine Twist

I wracked my brain, I wrote recipes out, took the pictures and as the days came the sugar began to make my sweetteeth ache. I’m glad somebody loves me, since I’m sure I’ve packed on at least another five pounds this week alone with all the cake and truffle attempts. Delectable, yes,...

Little Bit of Old Fashioned Loving

This cake is super easy, really the toughest thing was prepping the pan. It’s a perfect balance of tart and sweet, elegant for tea and a perfect crumb for a picnic. Almost too perfect, I found myself snacking on it instead of lunch. Every so often I come across a recipe that reminds me of my grandmother,...

Chocolate Raspberry Torte

Not like there is any mystery that I love chocolate, but I’d realized that I hadn’t yet created a torte recipe. What better than Valentine’s week to do the dessert cart? Generally, a torte is a flourless cake, often using bread crumbs or ground nuts in it’s place, resulting in...

Super Bowl of Chili

As I sat, thinking what the ultimate food for Sunday would be, it actually took me a bit to come to the chili conclusion. Crazy, yes, I am aware of this. Coming from an advertising background, I have to honestly admit that the majority of my Superbowl viewing experience takes place during half time. Perfect...

Red Grapefruit Curd Filled Donuts

Heading out with the intention to create a citrusy tart flecked with the essence of rosemary or cardamom, I started out with a super red grapefruit curd for the filling. Anyone who reads here regularly, might have noticed I’m a bit of a red grapefruit junky. I’ll slip it into dishes where...
