Where Cooking Meets Photography
If you're looking to feed a large group this holiday season, perhaps these Breakfast Tacos for a crowd will help you out. Instead of standing in front of the stove making several batches of scrambled eggs, allow the oven and a sheet pan to do all the work for you. Baking the eggs like frittata with crispy bacon and tater tots, will make it so much easier. Just slice into thin strips and set out all of the fixings. Then your guests can just assemble their own tacos and relieve some of that ...
While everyone is still flipping out over avocado toast, I'm just over here minding my own business, trying to promote these Steak and Potato Toasts. They are hearty, filling and completely over the top. Exactly what you want from your toast recipes, right? It's that perfect dish to make when you have company over this holiday season because it's fancy enough to impress your guests but also super simple, so you don't have to spend all day in the kitchen cooking. Serve it as an appetizer (in ...
Every year I'm always left with the same question of what I should do with all of my Thanksgiving leftovers. Aside from the regular ol' turkey sandwich or turkey chili, I never really have anything new or exciting planned for the next day's dinner. All of that is changing however, because this year I've teamed up my friends over at Go Bold With Butter to bring you these incredibly over-the-top and totally necessary Thanksgiving Stuffed Pasta Shells! You can either make it completely from ...
I've been a huge fan of beef stroganoff for a very long time now, and it is partly because I think it's an absolutely delicious dish. The real reason however, is because there's just something about it that makes me think I'm very elegant and posh when I make it at home or order it at a restaurant. The dish itself is not particularly fancy nor is it even remotely complicated. It's a humble dish with very modest ingredients. Nothing you can't find at a grocery store. No matter how many times I ...
Happy New Year, my friends! This is the first post of 2020 and although I know most of us vowed to make healthier choices when it comes to food, I think it’s still a very important part of life to indulge every now and then. I make it a point to eat healthier around this…
I’ve had my fair share of sheet pan recipes on the blog, but none have made me quite as excited as this Sheet Pan Egg in a Hole with Sausage and Breakfast Potatoes. This could be because I love breakfast, but it could also be because egg in a hole was a childhood favorite of…
There’s absolutely nothing better than waking up on Saturday or Sunday morning and getting a breakfast burrito to wash away all of your previous nights’ drinking. I’ve eaten so many breakfast burritos (and often) throughout the years that I do believe myself to be a connoisseur on the subject. The best in the Los Angeles…
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I think that can definitely be said about these Pumpkin Pie Waffles with Pumpkin Granola. If you make these, it’ll be the most important meal of the day for sure. The one meal you’ll want to make over and over again. This…
You can’t beat a classic buttermilk old fashioned doughnut, unless of course pistachios are involved and then it’s all over from there. Game set match. These Pistachio Buttermilk Old Fashioned Doughnuts are here to stay, and they just so happen to be the perfect weekend baking project. Of course, no baking is actually involved, because…
I grew up eating that Entenmann’s Cheese Danish Twist loaf from the grocery store all the time. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with it, but it’s like a coffee cake meets danish with a cream cheese filling and crumb topping and it was absolutely all I wanted as a child. That and the Entenmann’s…
Now that Thanksgiving is officially over and we’ve moved on from all talks of turkey and pumpkin, I think it’s the right time to start talking about Christmas desserts. Usually around this time of year it’s the cookies that get all of the spotlight, and while this will inevitably happen here soon, I think it’s…
It’s officially November 1st and so we all need to start thinking about Thanksgiving. I’m not saying to plan everything out to a T already, but at least let’s have it in our peripheral. We don’t want to get caught off guard at the last minute and have to scramble for ideas in the final…
We’re right in the full swing of pumpkin appreciation month over on Instagram and on this blog. Things got started earlier in the week with these Mini Arroz Con Leche Pumpkin Pies. If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ll know that this is a pumpkin blog now (for just a short while). I’m sharing…
What do you get when you combine everyone’s favorite pumpkin pie with my all-time favorite rice pudding? These Mini Arroz Con Leche Pumpkin Pies! That’s Spanish for a super fancy pumpkin rice pudding, in case you were wondering. This recipe is a riff off of this Caramelized Banana Rice Pudding from way back when, and…
You can’t beat a classic buttermilk old fashioned doughnut, unless of course pistachios are involved and then it’s all over from there. Game set match. These Pistachio Buttermilk Old Fashioned Doughnuts are here to stay, and they just so happen to be the perfect weekend baking project. Of course, no baking is actually involved, because…
If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t you really should), you’ll know that I’ve been looking for funny vintage food ads on the internet and sharing them on my IG stories for a few months now. I created a highlight for them if you want to see the archive. I love them…
Banana pudding is one of those desserts that I will never tire of. It’s nostalgic, incredibly easy to make and yet it still manages to be a show-stopping dessert that takes people’s breath away (or at least mine). Over the years, I’ve shared a few banana pudding inspired recipes on the blog, and I hold…
It’s time for another installment of my favorite ongoing series on the blog, Cheers to the Weekend! A) because it’s the weekend (finally) and B) because it’s been a while since the last one went up and that just won’t do. It’s also time for another much needed sheet pan dinner recipe. If you recall,…
Everyone is always going on and on about pecans and chocolate or peanuts and chocolate or almonds and chocolate, but I think it’s high time we give walnuts their time to shine in the spotlight with chocolate. I’ve always been a fan of that combination, and I’ll admit it’s because my all-time favorite thing at…
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made and shared a fudge recipe on here, and quite honestly I think this is my biggest regret in life. I figured the only respectable thing I can do to remedy this tragic situation is to share another decadent and delicious fudge recipe ASAP. If you recall, the…
Do you know how sometimes you just really don’t feel like washing dishes? Mostly because you’ve been working all day, but also because you’ve just slaved away for hours cooking dinner, and so the last thing you want to do is stand in front of the sink scrubbing away at the mess you just made….
The last slab pie I made on the blog, S’mores Slab Pie, was such a big hit that I decided I needed to try my hand on another variation. It just had to be done (but I’m most definitely not complaining about it). If there’s one thing I’ve learned through the years of blogging, it’s…
