Cashew and Pine Nut Crusted Mozzarella Balls
Everyone loves a good mozzarella stick. I know that I do…when they are prepared correctly. Half of the time you can tell when they are frozen, and the other half of the time the restaurant totally fries them too long and they get hard in the middle. That’s the absolute worst. It’s so much better […]
Perfect Superbowl Guacamole with Habaneros and Serranos
I don’t know many people who won’t eat guacamole. Even those that won’t eat avocado alone will usually eat guacamole. It’s perfect for a large group because it usually goes fast, and this is what you want, since avocados have a tendency to brown quickly. This is why it’s perfect for a Superbowl party. This […]
Let’s get ready for the big game with these Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups!
Well the Superbowl is just around the corner, and I wanted to share with you some of the appetizers that I plan on making this Sunday. Even though my beloved Steelers are not in it this year, I still cherish each and every moment of the football season. It’s so short! You have to stock-pile […]
Jersey Meets California in this Foolproof Club Sandwich w/ Chipotle Aioli
Sometimes you just crave a sandwich. We eat a lot of sandwiches, and if your name is Zach, then you like to make meat and cheese only sandwiches…and roll them up. I know, he just gets stranger and stranger as the days roll on. I literally have to keep a stockpile of muenster cheese and […]
The Easiest French Bread Recipe EVER!
Most of the time the sound of making your own bread can be a super scary sound. This is why many of us avoid it all together. There are enough delicious bakeries out there to satisfy our cravings for fresh bread. Even the neighborhood supermarket’s bakery can really dish out some great loaves of bread, […]
Just Me, Cilantro and a Polenta Pizza this Monday Evening
Well Zachary has left us yet again. He’s off to Texas for a couple of days, and I’m here holding up the fort (or is it “down the fort,” I never really understood that saying). Well not really a fort, but a condo with a dog and some beautiful sunny, yet cool weather. It really […]
Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Well it’s the weekend, and we were craving something super sweet and breakfast(y). We haven’t done a true breakfast in a while, so what the heck. We combined all of our favorite ingredients into one scrumptious pancake. These buttermilk pancakes are stuffed with bananas, walnuts and dark chocolate chips, and it’s everything you could imagine […]
Vanilla Mint Smoothie – The Perfect Post Run Snack
We’re going to do something a little bit different today. I just started running again. I’ve been having some leg issues here as of late and needed a break from the whole thing, but I take it that most of you don’t care. So let’s get to the point. There’s nothing in this world that’s […]
Tomato Soup with Ditalini and Turkey Meatballs
This is what I like to call a “play” on spaghetti and meatballs in a soup form. This wasn’t what I was going for originally. I was actually going for a thinner based soup (almost brothy-like), but it came out much thicker than I originally had hoped. I don’t hate it though. It actually came […]
