Hoppy Easter! I hope the bunny brought you lot’s of treats! My dad, aka the king of breakfast, out did the Easter Bunny this year with a luscious brunch. Let’s face it, a hearty meal is better than a basket of chocolate. I was treated to his specialties: Waffles and Cappuccino, with a side of [...]
For weeks and weeks I have been dreaming about making Masala Chai Pots De Creme. I tried this spicy chai as a latte with almond milk at my tea bar, and knew it would blend beautifully with rich chocolate and creme. The perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day . Sitting in a ramekin, and topped with [...]

But first, some new eats.Sunrise Blend with Kefir, Vanilla Soy Milk, 1/2 of a Banana, Blackberries, Toasted Pecans, Orange Blossom Honey, Cinnamon For breakfast this morning I tried something a little different: Sunrise Blend. It is a mixture of [...]
I’m not the biggest chocolate cookie fan, however; to round out my 12-days of cookies, I needed to have at least one on the list. The traditional Crinkle or Crackle cookie was the first to come to mind. I love mint with rich chocolate so I flavored mine to create Mint Chocolate Crinkles.I was shocked [...]
I firmly believe that everything tastes better when covered in chocolate…or cheese but we are talking desserts today. I often just warm chocolate with a bit of butter for dipping cookies (see chocolate dipped sable cookies with orange curd, chocolate dipped almond biscotti, chocolate pecan fingers,), however; somethings like cakes and truffles need ganache.

I’m happy that I have food in my apartment. There was no time to go out and buy lunch today. I am mostly unpacked, now it’s just a matter of organizing and making this place “homie”. My parents are coming up again next weekend to assist. I REALLY think I would live in a hole [...]
1/3 cup rolled oats, 2 TBS Vanilla Granola, 1.5 T Walnuts, 1 Banana, 1 Plain Siggi’s, Cinnamon and Honey. Despite the fact that I am in my 20′s, I still call my parents when I am not feeling well. There is something about the comfort of their voice and the though of home that makes [...]
Did my title grab your attention? It has been a day of good eats. I had an early breakfast and a later (ish) lunch so a 10:30am snack was necessary today. I had a Chocolate Peanut Butter Luna Protein Bar…because I was having Dark Chocolate Dreams after breakfast. Lunch was filled with amazing, comforting, good [...]
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now. Two of the things I cherish most in life are family and food. An evening that includes good company, inspirational conversation and mouth watering food is my ultimate definition of relaxation. Tonight I was fortunate enough to have all three. I met my dinner [...]

This was a difficult decision because love all kinds of food: Japanese, Indian, Thai and French to name a few. But ultimately nothing compares to the variety and fresh flavors of Mediterranean [...]
