Exploring Culinary Delights and Unforgettable Destinations.
There’s just something magical about the first bite of a perfectly fried green tomato. The crispy, golden crust giving way to that signature tangy-yet-sweet burst of flavor from the still-firm tomato inside. It’s a taste of the South that instantly transports me back to my […]
There’s a show on Food Network: The Best Thing I Ever Ate. And I think this carrot cake qualifies as one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Seriously, it’s that good. And I’ve had hundreds of people tell me that too. Really. You see, […]
First of all: Happy Pi Day! I know it’s not really Pi Day today, but it is in a few days, and I wanted to give you this recipe to celebrate. Now you have enough time to run out and buy coconut, coconut milk, and […]
Forget everything you thought you knew about apples needing to be coated with cinnamon in order to be amazing. All they need is a little butter, sugar, and honey (AKA more sugar). This dessert is basically something that looks so fancy and amazing that everyone […]
Fast forward a few years, and have you seen what they put in that stuff (Parmesan Crusted flavor linked)?! Ew. Luckily, I reduced the number of ingredients from a whopping 28 to 6 clean ingredients just by using stuff I already had in my kitchen. […]
My kids love to snack on Driscoll’s strawberries or take them in their lunch. They loved trying their sweet yet tart blueberries in this Lemon Blueberry Bread. It’s so moist they kept calling it cake. The bread is super simple to make. The hard part […]
Am I the only one who’s ever made a recipe, and you know while you’re doing it that you’re doing it wrong? That was this recipe for me… Though I’m not calling it a “recipe blooper” per se, just a case of chef error. As […]

So, you’re wondering what dessert to serve at your Cinco de Mayo party, aren’t you? Blondie to the rescue! This is the perfect way to top off the event. My girlfriend, Ashley, introduced me to these insanely yummy tidbits a few years ago. She hosted […]

I have recently discovered that I love bread pudding very much. Of course, I made this discovery at Disney after drinking way too much banana bread pudding at the Tusker House character breakfast… and too many pots of English bread pudding at Earl of Sandwich… […]
It’s Christmas time. I have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head. And by sugar plums, I usually mean these Pecan Pie Brownies. During testing, I tried three different methods to adhere the pecan filling to the brownies’ top. The best by far is […]
The Jewish holiday of Shavuot ended last night. Out of all the Jewish holidays, Shavuot is the only one where it is traditional to eat dairy food. That means two days straight of cheesecake, ice cream, and everything else you could imagine that includes cheese, […]
Every few weeks, I show up after chapel service with muffins, cinnamon rolls, or other goodies. This week, I made Monkey Bread. This is a super simple recipe that I got from my sister many years ago. Store-bought canned biscuits make this very quick & […]
