As I wrote in this post, Italian food may be intimidating to some, but really it’s all about simplicity, few ingredients, but big flavor. This recipe definitely embodies that philosophy. It has eight simple ingredients (two of which I added for some extra flair), takes about 15-20 minutes to make, uses only two pans, and [...]

Pear? On a sandwich? And RAW kale?! I’ve always loved food and cooking, but I admit, I haven’t always been as “adventurous” with it as the tagline above indicates. Now, I’ll try just about anything, and that includes mixing sweet and savory, and eating raw kale which I’ve always feared would be too bitter for [...] When you want a healthy sweet treat or dessert, fresh fruit is the way to go. However, that can be difficult when it’s dead in the middle of winter. Luckily, you can always rely on apples, which are pretty much in season and readily available year-round. I actually came up with this dessert when I [...] …Say that five times fast! It sounds complicated, but if you keep a good stash of ingredients from the Asian food aisle in your pantry, this dish is a no-brainer. That, and a little help from the grocery store. When I know I have a busy week ahead of me, I love making a huge [...] Remember how I said that I recently fell in love with kale, even to the point where I find it addicting? It’s true. My dad made a quick run to the store and he asked if I needed anything, so I told him to get me a head of kale. I ended up going with [...] Nutella. Don’t even get me started. I can’t even. It was love at first taste, and our relationship has been going steady for a while now. Sometimes I call it Sex In a Bottle. Yeah, it has a lot of sugar, but it is essentially a nut butter made with all natural ingredients. It’s also [...] I love playing around with ingredients which I consider to be like a blank canvas. You can make them sweet, savory, or both, add things to them, give them a theme, and just generally use your imagination. Popcorn is definitely one of those foods. I also happen to be really into popcorn lately, ever since [...] Greetings from Sonoma County, California! I’m here for about a month on Winter Break, and during my time here I plan on showcasing the best of what this food (and wine!)-loving area has to offer. One of the many things I love about coming home and having a break from school is all the free [...] They may get a bad rep, but I’ll go ahead and say that my favorite vegetable in the whole wide world is Brussels sprouts. I love that they’re flavorful, easy to prepare, and versatile. I also find them adorable – they’re like itty bitty mini heads of cabbage. A couple weeks ago, I was buying [...] There’s no better way to wind down at night, especially a cold night, than with a warm beverage. Tea is great, but there’s just something about winter and hot cocoa. I used to just microwave a packet of Nestle or Swiss Miss…until I read the ingredients and realized I could barely recognize what half of [...] |
