Egg and Asparagus Tart with Hollandaise and Goat Cheese
It’s Easter long weekend which means sleep-ins (maybe), enough chocolate mini-eggs to set you up until next year, turkey dinners, and a whole lot of family and friends to host for brunch. I love brunch. Brunch means there is always a little bubbly, which in my opinion, is the best way to start the day.…
Read MoreDeath by Chocolate Banana Muffins
Childhood food memory = chocolate banana muffins. My parents were uber-strict on not allowing my brothers and me to eat processed foods. That meant I was the kid at school who had nothing to trade at lunch time. No kid wants to trade fruit snacks for a real piece of fruit! However, over the…

Ahh, New Year’s Eve! For all of my thirty-something years, I have broken NYE down to two experiences: Completely overrated or a complete blast.

I always ensure I have items for baking and these chocolate blueberry seed muffins are easy to whip up in 30 minutes flat. Don’t want the chocolate chips? Don’t add them! Want more blueberries?…

Who doesn’t love pancakes in the morning. It was one of my mother’s staple while growing up – German pancakes, Crepes and my dads favorite: fluffy pancakes topped with bacon, fried eggs and a whole lot of maple syrup (not for everyone). I find people are afraid to improvise over what the recipes says. With many baked…
