A Fresh Twist on Tradition

Make Ahead Monday: Perfect Pesto

  Back when I began cooking (I was 13) pesto was unheard of to the everyday cook. At the time, I was learning everything I could about food, so most of my time was spent watching cooking shows, reading cookbooks, and “googling” recipes. Needless to say pesto really intrigued me, as it seemed to beRead more

Strawberry Almond Scones

Soft and delicately sweet, these scones are addicting! Serve these gluten-free strawberry almond scones with tea or coffee for a delicious breakfast treat.  Have you ever had an orange scone from Panera Bread?

Make Ahead Monday: Chicken with Rice

I have always been a huge fan chicken and rice, a.k.a arroz con pollo, but making it at home has always intimidated me. Looking at traditional recipes left me confused and ready to give up…a lot are full of ingredients I’ve never heard of, or can’t get my hands on. Through a little research, IRead more

Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of my favorite fruits is a good old banana. However, I only like them when they are still green, and just beginning to turn yellow… it’s a texture thing. Basically once they are ripe I can no longer enjoy them as a snack. I can (and do) bake with them though! I tend toRead more

I hate to throw good food away, so I try and come up with a creative use for my leftovers. Enter today’s recipe: Leftover Pasta Frittata. It’s super quick and easy toRead more

Fresh Coconut Cake

A few years ago around Easter, my aunt and I decided that we wanted to make my Grammy Al’s recipe for fresh coconut cake. We gathered up all of the ingredients (and most of the family!), and set out to make it. We had a few mishaps, but it was fun and the cake wasRead more

Broiled Halibut with Prosciutto and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

My favorite fish (next to salmon) would definitely have to be halibut. It’s kind of like the white-fish version of salmon; it’s meaty and stands up well to cooking, but unlike salmon, it’s mild in flavor. Halibut works well with all kinds of sauces, especially strong flavors like the ones in today’s recipe. Broiled halibutRead more
