When it comes to flavors, the fall season definitely brings us the best of the best. Pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, vanilla, winter squash… I love them all. When #SundaySupper announced this weekend’s “Fall Foods” theme, I was so excited because it came at the perfect time. I was already planning on using some of fall’s best…
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…
Crumb Cake Parfait
Okay, fellow Brunch lovers, what is the best part of crumb or coffee cake? The crumb topping, of course! I’d much rather eat an entire piece of cake made out of those crumbles, and usually that’s the only part I eat anyway. There’s nothing like a slice of cake with a good, sugary sweet crumbly…
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Smoothie
I’ve mentioned before that when I lived in NJ, I worked at a gym with an awesome cafe and juice bar. One of my absolute favorite things to do was come up with new smoothie and protein shake flavors. There were so many ingredients to choose from that it was pretty easy to make just…
Pasta-less Lasagna, Stuffed Mushrooms, Autumn Salad, Oreo Cupcakes and Wine…Perfect Potluck!
Planning dinner parties is becoming one of my absolute favorite things to do. I can’t wait until I have a nice dining room set and can really go all out. For now, I do my best with what I’ve got. And ya know what? I am pretty happy with it. Bubby’s card table and chairs…
Celebrate National Apple Week
Happy National Apple Week! I love biting into a juicy apple any time of the year, but this fruit really reminds me of fall, which is creeping up on us and will be here before we know it. The second week of August celebrates the apple, giving us a little taste of this season and…
My Favorite Foods, A to Z
I thought it would be interesting to put together a list of my favorite foods so my readers can have a peek into my foodie brain and see what really makes me swoon. But it would be so hard to think of everything! To maker it a little easier (and more fun), I decided to do…
First Recipe of 2012: Cranberry-Applesauce Bars
A free afternoon can only mean one thing: more time to make use of the kitchen. I haven’t baked since my Eight Days of Hanukkah posts and I was starting to get antsy. Pretty soon I may not have much time to cook or bake often so I figure I’d better get in as much…
On the 7th Day of Hanukkah…
The holidays are always filled with lots of food. People break out their “fat pants” and flowy dresses so they can indulge a bit more without feeling those tight waistbands. But fear not! Here is a delicious dessert that won’t break the scale, but will still satisfy your sweet tooth. Thank you, Skinnytaste, for for…
