I did something that made me very happy this weekend. I made my first caprese themed recipe of the year. Ok, fine I guess it’s not my first since last August. I did make these awesome Roasted Asparagus Caprese Melts with a Fried Egg, but it’s been a few months and fresh spring produce is finally starting [...]
Today we are talking Jalapeño’s and Cornbread and Cheddar AND Honey. The first time I ever made cornbread I think I was eleven or twelve. We were having a family party, I think for the 4th of July. My parents always had family parties. Out house in Rocky River on the West side of Cleveland, OH [...]
It’s official. I caught the Summer bug. Hard. I know it is only May 15th, but yesterday it felt like Summer! Alright, that is a major exaggeration. The temps only reached the low 60′s, but for around here that is extremely warm! Granted if the sun is shinning it can definitely feel like the 70′s at [...]
Lately I have been up to my eyeballs in avocados. And I am not complaining. Although, I do think I have slight problem. I can thank the grocery store, they fueled the problem,last week they sold avocados for only a dollar! One dollar for avocados is CHEAP for around here. Honestly, in one week I [...]
Well guys it has been a whole month since that last buffalo recipe….. This means I am due to share another. I think all Mondays should have at least a little buffalo sauce. Well buffalo sauce or margarita chicken and guacamole quesadilla’s. Yeah, one or better yet both of these things should happen every Monday. [...]
So let’s talk about Mother’s Day.Actually, let’s talk about my mom and Mother’s Day. My mom, well she absolutely hates mothers day. Yeah, like she really hates it. I am am not sure on the exact reason, but I am pretty sure it is because she was a super young mom. She had my brother [...]
Well, this is just so unlike me.Blueberry muffins on Friday. Wait. What? Yeah, I am not showing you something chocolate, nor anything melty, gooey or loaded with bourbon, tequila or topped with toasted coconut and coconut caramel sauce. Here’s the thing, if you have not noticed I reserve the super over the top recipes for Friday. My logic [...]
You guys, I just don’t get it. Sometimes I try to understand. Really I do, but most of the time my mind just wonders to “Oh, should I make shrimp and put it with noodles or bake cookies and stuff them with something crazy? Or wait, maybe I should make some grilled chicken and smother it [...]
And the Mexican meals continue! Please don’t tell me you are tired of them. Cause really it’s only Wednesday. I have at least on one more fun Cinco De Mayo recipe up my sleeve. Maybe even two. Not sure yet though, I am obviously having a hard time deciding.
Here’s the thing. I had to make a decision. We all know how much I hate decisions. Honestly, I can’t make the littlest decision for the life of me. Big life decisions I am ok with. It’s the little decisions that really get me. Decisions like cookies or brownies, white background or black background for [...]
It’s official. I am rebelling against the universe. This morning I woke up to a good foot of the white stuff. Yeah, snow. It is miserable and that’s all I am going to say about it because I am not going to complain to you guys anymore about all the snow. Instead let’s talk about your [...]
You know what hours of endless brainstorming results in? Combining two desserts to make one awesome… dessert love child. Dessert love childs are kind of a thing in the food blogging world. Think about it. Without food bloggers we would not have the Better than Crack Brownies, 7 Layer Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, Oatmeal and [...]
Yesterday was all about the salad. It was healthy and delicious. Today? We’re balancing things out a bit. It’s all about the balance……..Right?Balance is a good thing. And really every salad NEEDS to be finished off with dessert.
I Know. Typical, salad on Monday. But this is so not your typical salad. And it is most definitely not boring.
Decisions, decisions, decisions…… I hate them! Not only do I hate them, I can not make them for the life of me. Yeah, I am one of those annoying people.
I made you the crispest chili spiced fries ever. Like really. And they are baked not fried! But then it gets better. Way better. I drizzled them with the most amazing (and surprisingly light) garlic/ cheddar cheese/ spicy sauce ever and then I crumbled just a little bit of bacon over top. You know for [...]
Enough already, can it just be grilling season? Apparently, not. I woke up to a very blue sky, a sky that made it look like a warm spring day. Actually, I woke up while it was still pitch black outside, I think this means I get up way too early. When the sun finally did [...]
This cake? Yeah, I know. It’s kind of ridiculous. But it also just kind of happened. Like I have no idea how I came up with this. Ok, well I do. I was brainstorming and brainstorming some more (I brainstorm A LOT! Actually, I brainstorm so much that by the end of the day my brain [...]
