Vegan Chocolate Coconut Cookies for #FBCookieSwap
Once again I’m participating in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. This is the third year that Lindsey and Julie have put together this amazing blogger event and I am extremely happy to be a part of it. By signing up for the swap, we are helping one of the greatest causes I can think […]
Amy’s Baked Spinach Lasagna
Yesterday I told you I never made a layer cake before, and today I’m telling you I’ve never made lasagna before. Tomorrow I’ll be telling you something else I’ve never made before. This is a week of firsts for me! Go me! For today, let’s talk lasagna! Spinach lasagna, to be exact. My mom has […]
Cookies and Cream Chocolate Layer Cake
I don’t make cakes often. Probably because I’m not a huge cake person. I like soft, chewy cookies and rich, fudgy brownies so much more than fluffy or spongy cakes. But when you’re in charge of dessert for a dinner party, a beautiful cake is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Specifically, a […]
Take A Bite Out of Boca Is Turning Two! #BlogBirthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAKE A BITE OUT OF BOCA! Would you believe two years have gone by since I started this blog? This year was definitely jam-packed with bloggy things, and I feel like I have grown and learned so much. I really have to thank all of the bloggers who I’ve met (virtually) and all […]
Pumpkin Rugelach for #LeftoversClub11
I learned two very important lessons about baking the first time I made rugelach. It was while I was still living with my Bubby. I waited until she had gone out to do some errands to take over the kitchen and (not knowing at the time) make a ginormous mess. There was flour everywhere, bits of […]
Ginger Roasted Vegetables #EasySideDish
I know yesterday I said I was done with all the turkey talk, but I do still need to share the recipes for the dishes I made for Thanksgiving dinner, neither of which have turkey in them. So I am kind of keeping my word. I love simple vegetable side dishes, ones that go with […]
Marshmallow Dreidels for #Hanukkah
I think Thanksgiving may have overshadowed Hanukkah this year. The first day just didn’t feel as festive because it was crushed with talk of turkey and pumpkin pie and all those Thanksgiving-y things. But now, it’s nearing the end and I’m finally feeling all the Hanukkah joy. Maybe because it’s actually December now, the weather […]
Spinach and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken for #WeekdaySupper
One time I left chicken in the oven too long and it came out a little bit tough. But it didn’t matter to my roommates and me because it was filled with goat cheese and goat cheese makes everything better. That’s like the number one belief in our kitchen. We love goat cheese. There was […]
Dark Chocolate Cake Batter Truffles for #SundaySupper
I never made truffles before. Oh sure, I’ve made the easy ones where you crush up Oreos and combine with cream cheese and then coat them in chocolate, but I’ve never made actual truffles. It’s been on my “Baking Bucket List” but I haven’t found anything that shouts out to me yet. Until I started searching around for recipes […]
Thanksgiving Dinner In Review
If you’re like the rest of America, you probably fell into a deep food coma after yesterday’s Thanksgiving dinner, and you’re probably still feeling a little bit of a turkey hangover this morning. Or more likely a side-dish hangover because everyone knows the sides are the best part of Thanksgiving dinner. Regardless, you enjoyed yourself. You indulged, you spent […]
