Earlier this year, I spent about 3 days in Paris. I made about 3-5 stops everyday to pick up a “snack” to make up for the short time I had. I made sure I ate all the baked goods, crepes possible and loved every bite. As usual I gravitated towards all the savory crepes, but
Doesn’t corn just scream summer to you?… it does for me. Can’t have a summer party without some corn. While I love just plain ‘ol corn on the cob with some butter, this just is such a crowd pleaser. A bit spicy, a bit salty, a bit creamy… I can eat bowls of this.
So I made this for a friend’s 4th of July bbq and totally stole the show (totally unintentionally!). My friend’s bbq was in a whole different state, which made it a bit trickier. I really wanted to contribute to the menu, but needed something that would carry well in the summer heat and everyone would love.
Very possibly my favorite curry to make. This recipe has so many selling points… Super easy, 3 step (I count it as 2.5 steps) recipe. Stores really well. It actually gets better over the days if you re-heat in the pan. EVERYONE loves it.
The perfect Basmati Rice…. now that could be a little “tricky”. The difference between “okay” and “perfection” is that perfectly cooked Basmati Rice must be FLUFFY. It should also be fragrant, a little sweet, with a ton of flavors.
Trust me… your summer party will stand out for all the right reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I love a classic all beef slider, but by the 4th bbq of the summer…. #IJustCan’t !! The tuna slider is such a great alternative to a regular beef slider. It’s healthier, lighter and is packed with a lot of flavors.
This is a no fuss no muss recipe, perfect for that big Memorial day weekend party you’re about to host. 3 ingredients, no frying involved, it’s a no brainer!
I love this dish. Takes about 5-7 minutes to make and is perfect for work-lunch (yep, I’m eating this at my desk as I type this post) or a light dinner. Since it doesn’t require a lot of oil, eggs or various sauces like your usual fried rice, it’s pretty healthy. It’s super light and
Ever plan for a dinner where you are so focused on the main dish that you forget all about the side dish? Happens to me ALL THE TIME. And every time that happens I turn to my trusty roasted potatoes recipe. Actually, to tell you the truth there is no specific recipe for roasted potatoes.
Soooo… it’s a random Thursday evening and I’m alerted that we are having guest over…. NOW! Before I could say who/what/when… I hear the buzzer going off. Urrrrgghh! Times like these, I always go semi-homemade. I also almost always go with pre-made puff pastry…. as my sister says “it is your knight in shining (egg-wash glistening) armor.”
