Greek Kebabs with Tzatziki + Garlic Naan

Any chance to BBQ before the summer ends and I am up for it. You can’t beat the char of meat and vegetables or the smell and ease (plus its the only time I really let go of control so that Texan can assist with dinner). One of my favorite things to make are kebabs.…

Théasty New York-Style Bagels

Texan and ours first date was in New York City and since then, it’s held a special place in my heart (we got engaged there too!). I thought I would share one of my new favorite things to make that reminds me of the big apple. BAGELS! The New York Bagel is my preferred style…

Pillow Soft Pretzels

Growing up in Europe had many advantages. Like experiencing wine festivals through the end of summer and into the fall. Winter markets full of crafts and mulled wine. And grabbing daily bread and pastries early in the morning while still warm and ready to be devoured with your favorite cheese. And while living in Germany,…

Simple Bruschetta

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit. On a large baking sheet line the sliced baguette in rows and drizzle with olive oil. Place in oven and allow to crisp up (approx. 5-8 minutes). Remove from oven and rub each slice with a garlic clove (should take two cloves for the whole loaf). In…

Brioche Buns

There is something about making your own bread that makes just makes you want to eat it all with no slice left to survive the tale. The smell of yeast while it sits bubbling. The aroma of warm, fresh, fluffy carbs just waiting to get your hands on it after it cools ever so slightly…

Chicken Tortilla Soup

No one can beat my Chicken Tortilla Soup. It’s certainly a fan favorite with my friends and family. This soup can be eaten at any time of year. The fresh bold ingredients, make it a perfect summer appetizer; while the heat and spice will warm you up on the cold winter days. Say goodbye…

Sweet Chili Corn Soup

Corn is one of my all time favorite ingredients. It tastes delightful on its own or it can be made into a number of sweet or savory dishes. During the summer months, I eat corn weekly (typically on the cob, slathered in butter) and this year I’ve been trying out a number of different recipes…

Southwestern Salad in a Jar

Eating out is certainly a vice of mine. And with my job in food and my job in sales, I tend to eat out A LOT! So, it’s not a surprise that lunches out are a thing. And, because life is busy, grabbing a bite someplace is usually what I resort to as I barely…

Cheddar & Onion Cornbread

I have tried dozens of times to make cornbread… A recipe so good, I would want to make it over and over again until I couldn’t eat cornbread anymore. One that doesn’t fall apart and has the right amount of sweetness. I have failed at EVERY attempt, until now… After all, I need something to…

Almond Biscotti

Ever go to a coffee shop, look at the goodies behind the counter glass and catch your eye on a biscotti? You order it, with your coffee of course, dunk it and take a bite of that perfectly-crunchy-yet-soft-from-the-dunk piece and think how the heck did I forget how good these are? When I ask my friends if they…
