Social Media’s Pineapple Ribs

Maybe you’ve seen that video going around IG and Tik Tok of ribs wrapped around a pineapple. I had seen the video so many times that I had to try for myself. While there wasn’t originally a recipe (at least not that I found) I sort of made up my own and they were INCREDIBLE….

Puglia Peach Side Dish

Renting a house in Puglia was one of the best vacations we’ve done. Having no oven and only a bbq was a fun challenge of planning side dishes and one of the standouts was this refreshing dish of grilled peaches, fresh tomatoes plated on a bed of creamy Stracciatella and drizzled with hot honey. Topped…

Two Ingredient Lemon Sorbet

So the photo depicts a mash-up of what’s been in the fridge and is now deemed “parfait ready.” There was a lemon olive oil cake that fell in the middle, some gorgeous berries, a bit of squirty cream…and the new STAR of the show, two ingredient lemon sorbet. Don’t forget to save your lemon vessels;…

Ina’s Ham & Leek Empanadas

Following the advice of Store Bought is Fine, I had to try Ina’s Ham and Leek Empanadas as a weekend alternative to her always delicious Savory Brekky Pastries. Un-Ina related, but he also suggested a ‘aji Amarillo’ sauce, that I adapted a bit because Switzerland and Latin ingredients don’t seem to mix. The results of…

No Knead Honey Oat Bread

I’m hitting the pandemic trends so late that I guess they are essentially new ones. No sourdough starters here, just an easy, breezy boule that keeps well for four to five days after you’ve enjoyed Honey, oaty, crunchy, chewy goodness. That’s my drag name. No Knead Honey Oat Bread

Savory Dutch Brunch Baby

While the title of this recipe sounds highly cannibalistic, I assure you that it nothing but savory brunch goodness. I’ve seen these massive pancake recipes over the years, but haven’t managed to try my hand at one until now. Huge mistake. Should have whisked this up years ago! It satisfies a slightly carby, indulgent craving…

Orange Ricotta Cookies

In an effort not to waste a container of ricotta that was nearly out of date, I whipped up a batch of Cooking Classy’s Orange Ricotta Cookies. Game changer! The gentleman has been inhaling them as their chocolate and bright combo is sure to make any dreary winter day better. Find my slight modifications below…

This recipe easily has ingredients that can be stocked in the fridge so you can pull them out for the cheesiest, coziest, most comforting bad day meal this side of Switzerland. Swiss Bad…

Quick Breakfast Quesadillas

One sunday morning reading about cooking quickly stirred my stomach and had me in the kitchen trying the latest Pinterest inspired breakfast quesadilla. It was fun to watch it all come together and was massively delicious to boot. We could have shared one as it was so loaded with toppings! (Naturally, I made two). Dump…

Olive Oil Lemon Cake

Recently I made the simplest, most glorious cake from The View from Great Island. First time on that site and it definitely will have me back for more. This cake is unbelievably lemony and moist. It’s lasted well for four days and tastes as good as the day of the bake. Sure to be in…

Winter Burrata Salad

Everyone knows the best summer lunch is a gorgeous caprese salad topped with a ball of burrata. But, what to do when it’s not prime tomato season? The brightest winter answer is orange and fennel- so delicious, simple, and a surprise flavor profile for your guests. The inspiration of this salad hails from the gorgeous…
