Sweet and Savory Baked Beans
Baked beans have certainly grown on me over time. When I was small, I would do everything in my power to not touch the stuff, but with age I gained some wisdom along the way; and I finally discovered the beauty that is the baked bean. I love love love this recipe, and I’m […]
Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Mango Salsa
Hi everyone! It’s been so long! Really, it has been way too long. I’m so sorry for my absence these past two weeks. Everything has been out of control crazy. I am currently visiting family in NJ, but I haven’t forgotten about all of you. As you may have noticed, I delegated some tasks […]
The Zach and Cilantro Saga – Day 1: Patriotic Peanut Butter Cookies
While Justine is out of town, we figured it would be a good idea to do a few posts contributed by me. I have decided to call this series of posts “The Zach and Cilantro Saga”. As you may already have guessed, these posts will most likely be something sweet and/or something fried because honestly, […]
Ten-Grain Pancakes with Sautéed Apples
We all crave breakfast for dinner every once in a while, and if you are anything like me you crave breakfast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Well, we were totally craving breakfast the other night and we haven’t made pancakes in quite a while. I thought it was time. I’ve had some […]
Strawberry and Rhubarb Milkshakes
I’m kind of obsessed with rhubarb here lately, and since I had some left over from the bars I made the other day, I had to find SOME way to use it. This milkshake was wonderful. It was even more wonderful after a 9 mile run today. Although, I think it most clearly resembles a […]
Brown Butter Rhubarb Cookie Bars
I feel like rhubarb often gets the pushed aside. It’s often looked over in the grocery store, and I bet you that many people don’t even know what it is. While I was grocery shopping the other day, I saw some rhubarb stalks just staring me in the face. Literally they were staring me down, […]
Cornmeal Crusted Catfish with Mango Salsa
I’m obsessed with my southwestern-style cookbook here lately. I feel like it’s my go-to book when I’m having mental blockage on recipe-making. Last night I decided to adapt one recipe that I’ve been wanting to make ever since I picked up this amazing cookbook. In their recipe, they used roughy. I don’t know how you […]
Apple Cinnamon Roll Muffins
These are a “I made them for no other reason than I was really craving a cinnamon roll” muffin. Do you ever just wake up and you are craving something that you usually don’t crave? I blame it on a night of consuming a couple of more beers than normal. This action always seems to […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Kara came to town! Yay! If you all are wondering, Kara is my sister and she’s super cool (sometimes). She has quite the sweet tooth so I had to whip her up something extra special yesterday for her arrival. We celebrated with roasted chicken and carrots, but the dessert was the best part. So great […]
