Now pancakes are good, but waffles are just so much better. That crunchy outside and the soft fluffy interior. The way it gently cradles the melting butter. Syrup just stays in those nice little cubbies. These aren’t Belgian waffles, those require yeast, but they are still really good. Easier and faster to make than their …
Cabbage Asparagus Potato Bacon Salad Bowl
This salad has lemon butter potatoes, asparagus, avocado, bacon, and tomatoes—all mixed with a Dijon vinaigrette. Cabbage is a very overlooked salad ingredient. It isn’t only good in slaw! If you are like me and love a crunchy texture in salads, cabbage is a welcome change. Plus everyone keeps getting food poisoning from lettuce… so …
Easy Eggs Benedict
An English muffin toasted—topped with fried Canadian bacon, a poached egg and Hollandaise sauce. It’s a super filling breakfast for those days you have nothing to do or have to nurse a serious hangover… Say like Christmas morning. A tradition in our family (the breakfast, not the hangover…..). I like to get my Canadian bacon …
Easy Baked Arancini
The BEST way to use leftover risotto. Melty mozzarella center, savory seasoned rice, all wrapped in a crusty breadcrumb coat. Traditionally these are deep fried, but that just seems like a pain and a waste of oil. You can certainly do it that way too and it will taste great, but if you want to …
Blueberry Lemon Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
I never eat all of my blueberries, eating them raw just doesn’t do it for me. When they are baked into a batter? Oh heck ya! Now ya talkin. Cooking blueberries really brings out their flavor. I had pretty much a whole container left in the fridge that I knew would go to waste… so …
Boiled Artichoke and Lemon Butter Sauce
One of the most delicious foods out there and much easier to prepare than you would think. Artichokes are among my all time favorite foods. If you put a steak and an artichoke in front of me, I would pick the artichoke EVERY TIME. It’s a super meaty vegetable. It goes so well with lemon …
Caprese Style Bruschetta
An easy and classy looking appetizer for your grown up party 😉 Some of the best things in the world are crusty bread, tomatoes, and cheese! Add some balsamic to it and it all blows up. So delicious. I’ll even eat this for dinner by myself, appetizer super fan here. It’s a really good make …
Orange Curd
Okay, so I hadn’t really made a curd outside of lemon meringue pie. Man was I missing out! Orange curd is so tasty! I mean, I have to hide it from myself or I will slather it on everything. It goes great on pavlovas, fingerprint cookies, cakes, hell even toast! Put a little whipped cream …
Sweet Dutch Baby
These babies are pretty easy to make, all the elements of a pancake, but no need to stand in front of the stove flipping cakes. Plus it’s super impressive looking. It’s really like a big edible bowl for any tasting filling you can dream up! Whipped cream, curds, fresh fruit, compotes, or apple pie filling. …
