Dark Chocolate Chickpea, Tahini and Peanut Butter Candy Easter Eggs: Chickpeas, Tahini, Peanut Butter, Maple Syrup, Almond Extract and Vanilla Extract, Blended to Creamy Perfection and Dipped in Dark Chocolate
I was never a huge “candy lover”. In fact, growing up my brother would end up eating most (if not all) of my candy because I showed minimal interest in it. Which is surprising, because I do have a HUGE sweet tooth – hand me any dessert and I’m there. One candy I did enjoy…
Bright Rainbow Bell Pepper Brunch: Eggs Over Easy in Bell Pepper Slices, Topped with Fontina Cheese and Sprinkled with Black Pepper and Parsley, Drizzled with Hot Sauce, and Served with Seed Toast
Spring is (technically) here, but it doesn’t feel like it! Especially with another snow storm making its way through (we are NINE inches and counting so far here!). So, I decided I wanted something colorful to brighten the day and crafted this bell pepper brunch tray! It’s the perfect balance between sweet, spicy, and savory,…
Baked Irish Breakfast Oatmeal: Steel-Cut Oats, Whole Milk, Apple Sauce, Honeycrisp Apple Pieces, Honey, Cinnamon and Vanilla, With a Crisp Coconut Sugar and Granola Top
St. Patrick’s day is right around the corner! One of my favorite parts about celebrating any holiday is the food – especially ones with a unique cultural heritage. I am (supposedly) 1/4 Irish, so I figured now is a good time to learn more about and embrace my heritage. Additionally, I have a trip to…
Protein-Packed “Greek Yogurt” Styled Carbonara: Soybean Noodles, Ground Chicken, Kale and Peas, all in a Creamy and Cheesy Greek Yogurt Sauce
I am not a huge pasta fan, but every once in awhile I get a craving for a good pasta. However (nutritionally), a pasta meal doesn’t always make the cut for me. Over the past few years, I have read a number of ways you can “make pasta healthier”. Typically, I do this by not…
Savory Ham and Cheddar Puff Pastry Swirls: Buttery Puff Pastry, Stuffed with Honey Mustard, Slices of Honey Maple Ham, and a Mixture of Champagne and Stoudt Cheddar, Topped with a Homemade Sweet Spicy Spread
These pastries remind me of summer mornings at the beach. There is an adorable French pastry shop at Rehoboth Beach I always make a point of going to when I’m in the area, and they make these INCREDIBLE ham and cheese croissants. I haven’t mastered my croissant skills (yet), but I have found a way of making…
Dad’s Famous Pancakes (or, as he calls them, “Dadcakes”): Whole Wheat Pancake Mix, Stuffed with Fresh Blueberries, Pecan Pieces and Light Brown Sugar, Topped with Whipped Cream and Maple Syrup
My family has come a LONG way in our pancake game – for many years, we used the “shake” containers and just added water. In the past few years though, along with a change in eating habits and food preferences in general, we started experimenting. Especially my Dad. I rarely order pancakes out (I don’t…
Superhero Soup for Sickness: Bone Broth, Leafy Greens, Spring Onion, Garlic, Cayenne Pepper and Tofu, Topped with Dollops of Sriracha and Sprinkled with Black Pepper
Whelp. I finally got the plague that has been circulating around my house, the office, my friends, my family – basically, everywhere. I finally felt well enough to cook something the other day and I decided to craft a new recipe from a bunch of ingredients that are claimed to help heal the body (or at least…
Stole a Pizza My Heart: Garlic Naan Crust, Topped with Pizza Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella and Pepperoni Hearts, Garnished with Italian Flat Leaf Parsley and Seasonings
I love pizza. Any kind of pizza, I’m there. My boyfriend (Chad) and I didn’t get to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the actual day because of our opposite work schedules, but we are looking forward to celebrating this weekend! 🙂 Chad had off today and I worked from home, so I surprised him with these…
My Version of a PA Dutch Favorite: Baked Mini Fastnacht Doughnuts for Fat Tuesday
“Where did you get this recipe?” – my Mom’s immediate response to trying one of these baked mini Fastnachts. She couldn’t believe it was something I created – and that they were baked – because she felt like they had tasted spot-on like the ones she would get from Lancaster. Coming from her, that means…
