Homemade Larabar Bites
It’s funny – I don’t care much for candy bars. I never have a craving for a Peanut Chew like my dad does (he’s got a stash in his car, I kid you not!) or pop Raisinettes like it’s nobody’s business. I do love M&Ms and if you put a bowl in front of me, […]
Top Chef Fan Favorite Kevin Gillespie at Publix Aprons
So…working at Publix Aprons definitely has its perks – one of them being that we get to hang out with super-awesome celebrity chefs when they come to do demonstrations at the school. June ended with a huge bang when we had Top Chef Fan Favorite Kevin Gillespie come in. It was a full house and […]
Publix Aprons: What I Made
Life at Publix has been pretty busy lately. Our summer schedule is out and packed with tons of really awesome classes. There were a few recipes from previous classes that I wanted to try, and I was able to get to a few over the past couple of weeks. The Onion Focaccia was one that […]
Moving and a Boca Restaurant Review: Rock Steady
I’m officially moved out of my apartment and into the new place! Moving daywent so much quicker than I thought it would. We had tons of help, including Emma and her cousin and friends — they were great for taking care of all the little/light things. The men took care of the major furniture, and […]
Fort Lauderdale Restaurant: The Foxy Brown
You know those times when you’re so hungry that you don’t care what or where you eat, just as long as food is in your mouth within 30 seconds? Yeah, I had a night like that recently. My plans to go to American Social on Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale with McKenzie were completely ruined […]
Apple Ginger Smoothie
I have grown to absolutely love ginger since starting my job at Publix Aprons. So many of our recipes, especially the Asian-inspired dishes, call on this ingredient for its spicy, sweet flavor. I never really thought too much about it before, using the ground version here and there in recipes, but never did I imagine […]
Panko-Baked Veggie Quinoa Cakes
I promised you the recipe for my Veggie Quinoa Cakes, so here you go! These paired really nicely with the tilapia Amy cooked up for our dinner. They had great flavor; my only complaint was that they needed some kind of sauce. My bad. I should have prepared something to go along with the cakes; […]
Peanut Butter Banana Cheesecake Ice Cream
I can’t wait to get my hands on an ice cream maker attachment for my KitchenAid stand mixer. There are so many flavors of ice cream and sorbets I just cannot wait to churn up. We make this limoncello sorbet at work that is so good, it actually makes me like lemon. Normally, lemon is […]
Oatmeal Ginger Sandwich Cookies with Cookie Butter Cream Filling
I can’t believe I’ve lived in my apartment for a year already. Time flies by. I remember when I moved in last year, painting my bedroom with friends, and all the time I spent organizing and shopping for cute little decorative things to put throughout the place. Welp, while it has been a good year, […]
Great Tex-Mex at JoJo’s Tacos
One of my absolute favorite kinds of food is Mexican. Mostly because I really love guacamole, salsa and crispy baked tortilla chips…and margaritas. Mexican cheeses are also divine — Cojita and Manchego…yum! I almost always order the same type of meal though, whatever kind of veggie enchilada is on the menu or sometimes a good […]
