A few weeks ago I posted about my Three Cheese Chicken Enchiladas. Some one left a comment that they had tried it with beef and it was really good. I love getting comments like this. I love to hear how
So light and moist and chocolaty that it’s pretty much cake in a loaf pan. But calling it bread and putting a vegetable in it makes it sound hip and healthy and appropriate for things other than dessert.
I'll admit I was scared of this recipe when my cousin, Tami, first sent it to me nearly a year ago. But then I got the guts up to try it, and it was unspeakably phenomenal. Just look at it.
As you know, I am not a huge fan of the faux cheeses. They usually gross me out. I've tried several vegan cheese pizzas, cheese dogs, cheese sauces, etc that people claimed were THE BEST EVER, only to find myself
The quintessential game-day appetizer, Buffalo wings, teams up with the classic crowd-pleasing ooey-gooey cheese dip. Keep an eye-out for pass interference.
Dried Apricot and Pistachio Scone : Tender, sweet, rich and buttery. These four words describe these scones perfectly. Preparation is a breeze. Can not think of a better
Let's just state the plain facts. It is nearly impossible for me to take an appealing picture of a casserole-type meal, but please take my word for it: this meal is fantastic. My cousin Camille (who incidentally was my post-college
So it came to my attention this week that there are actually, officially real, life human beans* that find the combination of mint and chocolate revolting. Um...what? I don't know if we can be friends. I'm sorry to sound shallow
Flambéing bananas and rum in front of your guests gives you massive kitchen cred. (And this dessert is actually easy!) What's not good cred? Having the fire department...
This is a fabulous potato soup recipe. I have been making this for years. It is an recipe from a restaurant called The Machine Shed. I am always asked to make it by my family as well as for big gatherings. We also have it on Halloween every year before the kids go Trick-O-Treating. Our local store makes individual bread bowls that are orange and look like pumpkins. They love the soup in these festive bread bowls. It is a bit of a time consuming recipe to make, but well worth it once in awhile.
I started making tres leches because it is my neighbor's favorite thing and I like her. I started with Martha Stewart's recipe which is a great jumping off point -- but it is not as juicy as a traditional tres leches, which you will find resting in a shallow lake of sweet milk. So I adjusted up for that, and here I have swapped in some coconut, some lime (because it is one of coconut's BFFs) and I used Tahitian vanilla which is a bit more floral than Mexican (but if you can't find it, go with whatcha got). It's rich and milky and coconutty and good. Ask the neighbors.
