Last night was my birthday, so Trevor decided to make this special treat for our family dinner. It’s so decadent, but I just love it for a special occasion. the graham cracker base, mixed with the chocolate ice cream and topped with the toasted marshmallow meringue on top makes this so, so yummy! In order […]
Happy New Year!! How was your New Year’s Eve? Extra special and fun? Mine was spent in my pajamas watching fireworks, drinking champagne and eating these lobster tails! Now, I find lobster really intimidating to make. Which is really funny because it’s so easy to make! So I found that this is legit the easiest […]
After big holidays, I always try to cook simple dishes because I’m typically so ‘cooked-out’. That’s why after Christmas this year, shrimp scampi is on my list. No need to check that twice! Cooking the shrimp takes just as long as the fresh spaghetti (3-minutes) so you can have dinner on the table in less […]
Goodby 2020. Hello 2021! Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you had a great night celebrating. What did you do to celebrate the ringing in of this very much needed new year? We did absolutely nothing and ya know what, it was glorious. No fancy clothes, no reservations, no waiting in lines. It was a pajamas, […]
The holidays are now behind us but the rich foods keep coming…. until the new year and we want to turn back time, obvi. 🙂 But until then, the rich, decadent, special end of the year foods keeping rolling in and this is another one I just love to make. Now, I make a LOT […]
When the summer heat starts to fade and the cooler weather sets in, I always think cake. Specifically, this chocolate pear upside-down cake! It’s beyond easy to make and is so warming. It also makes the house smell AMAZZZZZING while it’s baking! The pears are so sweet this time of year so it’s really the […]
I love dip. I LOVE dip. I love it with veggies, with crackers, on toast, anything. So, when I eat it, I want it to be on the somewhat healthier side. While this dip has a lot of cheese, I don’t mind because I don’t eat much dairy in my daily life. So, it’s a […]
For Trevor and me, January means fewer carbs and less sugar. We like to go a bit lighter this time of year given all the heavy, glutinous food that comes around the holidays. This is one of those dishes that I love to make because it’s a meal made in all one pan. It’s super […]
Here’s a quick and easy side dish for any holiday or weeknight where you need a tasty side dish. The roasting brings out the natural flavors of both the carrots and sprouts, which can otherwise be tasteless. It’s easy to put together and even easier to cook up. Just slice and roast and it’s done! Happy […]
Matilda is turning the big 1 (!!) in a few days and we had a birthday party for her yesterday. We made Melissa Ben-Ishay’s Strawberry Cupcake recipe with vanilla frosting from her Cakes cookbook. (I nearly made these with strawberry frosting too, but didn’t want to go to strawberry-ish for those that might prefer other […]
