I encountered quite the dilemma the other night when I got home from the gym (yes, the gym). Should I make brownies, or my fave peanut butter and butterscotch marshmallow bars? Seriously guys, it was a tough decision and I really didn’t feel like compromising. But, I also didn’t want to have two different types…
San Diego 2013 Part 1
Two weeks ago, I took a spontaneous trip to San Diego with a friend of mine, Edith. Our trip was full of wonderful food, new exciting adventures and sun burns. Oh man, the sun burns. I think both of us are still feeling the effects from the burns. First of all, our hotel was insane!…
Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche with Mashed Potato Crust
Eggs usually make an appearance at breakfast in our house during the weekend. It’s pretty much the only time of week I have time to make them, so I like to do it up right! Regular ‘ole scrambled eggs will not suffice. This past weekend, quiche made a special appearance. It wasn’t your regular quiche…
French Onion Soup Bites
I recently went out with friends to a new restaurant in town called Birmingham’s Vodka and Ale House and they had a version of these on their menu. We ordered them and fell in love immediately and knew it would be a breeze to make at home. Admittedly, they are a bit time consuming, but completely…
French Toast Grilled Cheese with Apples and Caramel
I slept-in pretty good on Sunday and struggled with whether or not to make french toast, or grilled cheese. It was technically brunch-time so you could go either way, but why have to settle? It dawned on me that I could just turn my french toast into grilled cheese. By doing so, I don’t need…
Butterscotch and Vanilla Creme Cookies
Shauna Sever (author of Pure Vanilla) says “sandwich cookies are a delicious, totally acceptable way to eat two cookies at once.” and I couldn’t have said it better myself. I can’t get enough of these cookies. Shortbread cookies fusing together Butterscotch ganache and vanilla buttercream are hard to pass up. Believe me, I’ve tried. The…
Perogie Grilled Cheese
So apparently today is National Grilled Cheese Day, so I figured I would whip something up for the occasion I’ve had this idea for awhile, but haven’t executed it until now. I wish I hadn’t waited so long. This little sandwich is truly a masterpiece as far as grilled cheese goes. It’s nothing too fancy, but…
Tikka Masala Pizza
I have a love affair with Indian food. Need I say more? During the week, more times than not, I need a quick supper. I don’t have time to cook up a big pot of Butter Chicken or Tikka Masala from scratch, so on occasion, I buy the jarred varieties. The jarred stuff is fabulous…
Cap’n Crunch Cookies
Cereal is great, but have you ever baked with it? These Cap’n Crunch Cookies are made with Cap’n Crunch cereal and browned butter and will have you hooked! I took a page from Christina Tosi’s ‘ole book of tricks and combined two of most everyone’s favorite things; cookies and cereal. And for the record, this ain’t…
Easter 2013 Recap
Water, water everywhere….. Except for my house, that is. Lucky us. The water line that runs across our front yard has burst a total of 3 times this winter, usually landing on a holiday when one needs to do some cooking. It burst on Thanksgiving and they shut the water off and royally screwed…
