The millennial bible for everything baking and cooking
My family LOVES biscotti. Normally I make my trusted and true Cranberry Orange Biscotti. But Today I wanted to mix it up and go a little sweeter….. and chocolate-i-er. Making a normal dessert in a chocolate flavor peaks pretty much everyone’s interest. Sure I’ve had biscotti… but chocolate biscotti!? Now this I have to try. …
These breakfast bars are gluten free, filling and healthy! I usually have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning with some sliced banana. For some reason not having oatmeal doesn’t keep me as full through the day. So I wanted to make a “mobile” version for those days when I’m on the go and can’t …
I’ve always loved fresh toast, but baguette french toast only became a thing when my husband started picking up a fresh loaf on our weekly grocery trip. Baguettes are awesome, but they can go stale overnight. One of the best ways to re-purpose an extra crusty baguette is by turning it into french toast. Crusty …
Huevos Rancheros translates to ranch eggs, its a common dish that is made famous by its simplicity and quickness to make. Its simply a tortilla, black beans, eggs and some flavorful topping of your choice. The base it simple and you can make it as complex as you want. What I love about Huevos Rachero …
I had some leftover wonton wrappers so I decided to turn them into the crust for mini breakfast quiche cups. I took a muffin/ cupcake pan, greased the inside and folded the wonton wrapper into it. Then added some egg, broccoli, seasoning and topped it off with some cheddar cheese. If you have other veggies …
I love this recipe because it is super simple to make, and it’s fast with only 3 ingredients. Yes that’s right. Banana as the content, Egg as the binder and to make it fluffy and cinnamon for taste. You don’t even need a mixer for this one. Just mash a ripe banana with a fork …
Biscotti has always been the classic pairing for coffee and tea. The toasted crisp cookie biscuit that soaks up the flavor and creates some substance with your morning coffee. The secret to getting this crisp biscuit is to toast it a little longer in the oven on each side. Its the twice baked pastry. The …
There’s nothing quite like fresh warm cinnamon rolls on a weekend morning. The ooey gooey sweet goodness brings back great memories of watching Saturday morning cartoons or holiday breakfasts with my family. I was home visiting my mom recently and she really wanted to have cinnamon rolls. Our town doesn’t have a bakery where we’d …
I was looking for a recipe to jazz up my boring morning oatmeal when I came across this recipe that only called for banana, oatmeal and chocolate chips. What could be easier! Although I did cheat and add in some raisins on my second attempt so technically there is 4 ingredients. But I argue that …
Yes, you read that right, ‘Man Buns’. I named these delectable breakfast pastries after the ubiquitous hipster male hairdo. Why exactly? Well, for one, they are ‘buns’ and their signature swirl and inspiration from traditional ‘morning buns’ lends them to the name and ‘man’ because they are filled with ‘manly’ ingredients like bacon and peanut …
Bacon, Cheese, Pie….. What could be better? This was my exactly thought as I finally stumbled upon the perfect recipe to use up the last of the eggs in the carton. In the past, I always found quiches to be too dry and had that bland healthy taste. And really what could be better than …
Bacon, who doesn’t love bacon? Bacon adds so much flavor to cooking and is just delicious on its own too. Yes, I realize everyone doesn’t love bacon. But for those of us that do let’s get down to business and strategize how to make those perfect crispy slices! Tools of the Trade: The key to …
This past weekend I went skiing with some friends in Upstate NY. As the song goes, the weather was frightful (about 2 feet of snow and temperatures in the negatives, to be exact). We spent the weekend digging out the cars from the snow, skiing and sitting by the fire at night. But one thing …
