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 […]
My Favorite Local Happy Hours
It’s so weird not working a 9-5 (well, 9:30-6) job anymore. There are days when I’m out of work as early as 3pm and I have no idea what to do with myself! Daylight! An entire evening ahead of me to do whatever I please. One of my favorite ways to spend this newfound time […]
Publix Aprons: What I Learned This Week
I’ve started to accumulate quite the collection of recipes over the past year, but I’m racking up tons more since starting at Publix Aprons. For every class we teach or demonstration we put on, there is a packet of recipes given to everyone who attends. There is always at least one recipe within the packets […]
A Beautiful, Simple Jersey Wedding
My cousin Emily got married over the holiday weekend, and I was so happy to be able to go home and celebrate Emily’s and Mark’s special day. Emily has a food blog of her own, Corchoran Street Kitchen, and always shares awesome (and easy to make) recipes. I knew her creative personality would totally shine […]
Sweet Caramelized Onion Dip
Do you cry your eyes out every time you cut up onion? I used to. But not anymore. It’s actually pretty easy to properly dice an onion without shedding a tear. This little secret is not so secret at all. I was watching Anne Burrell’s show on Food Network and happened to notice how she […]
Publix Aprons / What I Learned This Week
I have learned so much since I started working at Publix Aprons. I want to be able to document everything for you guys so you can follow me on my awesome culinary adventure. Each and every day I leave with some kind of newfound knowledge that I can bring home with me. This is the […]
Roasted Garlic and Eggplant Hummus
One of the things I’ve learned at work is how to roast garlic. Actually, I’ve also learned that I really, really, really like garlic. If there is one thing about roasted garlic that I like most, it’s the smell. There is nothing like the scent of roasted garlic filling your entire kitchen. It’s heavenly. I […]
