I ate one of these cookies before dinner yesterday. It was a cookie appetizer, and it was necessary. Then I made a salad for dinner, ate a truffle santa, and listened to Mariah Carey Fantasy the remix. Just an average night, really. But these cookies are the opposite of average. They are super lemony refreshing! One glance at their casual outfits, you wouldn’t suspect the tasty citrus flavor punch sandwiched in each bite. (Are you…
Sometimes life-changing sandwiches happen. Sometimes they’re the Italian-est sandwich with multiple cured meats, roasted red peppers, garlic mustard, basil, goat cheese, and provolone. Sometimes they have corned beef AND potato salad on them. The filling has to be right and the bread has to be the right-est. Nobody wants to be bullied by sharp bread corners while trying to eat a sandwich, ya know? So if you’re looking for a tasty sandwich bun then I…
Because dessert needs to happen with a picnic lunch, and because I had a bunch of hay in my boots when I got home. You see, Friday, I took the day off and headed to Upland Hills Farms. My friend’s niece had a field trip, so a couple of us ladies went too! We made a giant Italian sandwich and a tasty orzo salad for our picnic lunch. And since this particular little girl loves…
While making this pizza I thought of a joke… It goes like this: Which cheese is the loneliest? (Any idea? Do you know!?) ProvALONE. Boom. … And then I realized that’s not how you spell it. It’s provolone. Shucks. Worst joke ever? Maybe, because of the whole spelling issue, it’s the kind of joke that can only be told aloud. So anyhow, I had a pizza like this at Roberta’s in New York and I loved it.…
Last Friday I arrived in New York hungry. My friend Kathy and I arrived at our lovely friend Erica‘s house late-ish Friday night. We were super hungry and the cocoa almonds we ate on the plane just weren’t cutting it. So, Erica took us to The Meatball Shop where I ate every single bite of a Meatball Smash-wich — spicy pork meatballs, tomato sauce, and provolone on brioche. I ordered a side of kale risotto worth…
Because perfectly sunny and breezy days should be celebrated with cheesy snacks and boozy drinks. And because backyards were meant for impromptu parties. Check out my summer entertaining feature over on the Wisconsin Cheese website! There you’ll find the recipes for the tasty things pictured: Cucumber Vodka with Greek Salad Picks, Asiago Egg Bites, and for dessert, Hot Fudge Sauce with Brie and Berry Picks. You’ll also find some entertaining tips that I totally live by.…
I can’t stop thinking about these peaches! I might have to make them for my parents when they visit. I think everyone would love them! I made these for a special summer issue of Michigan Blue Magazine. They wanted simple but classy dishes to show off local produce. We did our best to make all of the fruity goodness look like major hotties. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Check back for…
My mom was in town last weekend! So I made sure to take her to my favorite places. We went to Taqueria Lupita’s for dinner for carnitas tacos and then walked down to La Gloria Bakery for churros and the cutest cookies ever. (I can’t wait to go back to try their pork tamales!) We went to Eastern Market on Saturday morning for strawberries and rhubarb to make pie! We couldn’t resist the daffodils either. For dinner I used some…
I like breakfast for dinner, also known as brinner, because then I can have a beer with my crepes. I’m not sure if beer and crepes is a thing, but I guess it is now. (?) Or simply have this for breakfast with coffee and mimosas! Either way, I hope you try this tasty and crispy concoction. P.S. I’ve been crazy into making eggs in a crepe-way ever since this post on Cup of Jo.…
Ronin is pretty much my favorite restaurant. I’m crazy for their seaweed salad, dragon roll, and their kobe beef mini burgers served with a mountain of shoe-string fries. So when they put beer in marshmallows, I knew it had to be good. I believe it was their November dessert special: guinness marshmallow s’mores with homemade graham crackers and dark chocolate ganache. Since it was a “limited time only” kind of thing, Jake and I totally…
