I have been making Soba Noodles with Peanut Sauce for years. It’s healthy, full of flavor and only requires a blender and a pot of boiling water. From a health standpoint, this recipe is vegan and if you sub tamari for soy sauce, it’s gluten free, too! Just make sure your soba is gluten free, […]
It sounds so daunting, or at least, it did to me before I made one. Homemade Apple Pie with homemade crust? That’s a lost art, reserved only for down-home, legit, grandma types. Sorry grandma, I’m hip to your jive and making a homemade apple pie is, well, easy as pie! Oh wait…now I know why […]
Seeing as I don’t drink anymore, I love concocting fun beverages that I can still enjoy at a party.

Rounding out the dessert in the Latin Dinner Party Series on YouTube is a spicy chocolate dessert. Chocolate with habanero?

This recipe for a Poor Man’s Paella is the second recipe in my Latin Dinner Party Series, a fitting entree to compliment my Salmon Ceviche appetizer. What make’s it fit for a poor man? I substitute the more expensive seafood and saffron with less expensive alternatives including hearts of palm, artichoke hearts and turmeric. Poor […]
This week I had the honor of meeting David Rosengarten, host of Food Network’s Taste and ultimate food aficionado. He hosted a seminar about Cheese & Charcuterie and Oysters, all outstanding ready to eat appetizer options. In the seminar, he showed us all how to shuck an oyster. Of course, I wanted to dive both […]
Ceviche at first glance is a close cousin of sushi. But, it’s actually cooked due to a chemical reaction of the fish with acid. In this salmon ceviche recipe the acid comes from lime. Jump in the kitchen with me as I whip up a batch of my salmon ceviche for the first installment of my […]
How crazy insane do these look? Yes, cookies & cream macaron shells with white chocolate drizzle filled with an extra chocolatey cookies & cream ice cream. It’s an Oreo lover’s dream! These were inspired by another YouTuber who I teamed up with to make these decadent dessert treats. Ashley Anixter is the queen of macarons. […]
