An Old Adage

So we meet again. If you can’t tell it’s been a minute. It’s not that I don’t love cooking, or sharing with you all. What it is, is after working, cooking, editing, cleaning… I would just like to go sit. Andddddd.. that’s usually what happens. So sadly, it never makes it to the computer. But,…

Cajun Shrimp & Sweet Corn Risotto

So I went through a risotto binge recently. To me it’s like toast, the flavor profiles are endless, a beautiful blank canvas. Though I know risotto can be laborious, I promise you this labor of love is worth it. Typically made with chicken stock, any flavorful broth/liquid will do the job! What You’ll Need For…

Cumin Crusted Sea Bass with Mango Salsa

Sea Bass is easily one of my top 3 favorite types of fish. Mildly sweet, and a meaty texture, this fish pairs beautifully with the mango salsa. Did you know that Sea Bass is actually a group of fish? Sea Bass is a category of fish, my personal favorite is Chilean Sea bass (also know…

Pasta Carbonara

Carbs, who doesn’t love them? Pasta carbonara can be pretty intimidating due to those pesky egg yolks. Most people are afraid of scrambling the eggs giving you a lumpy sauce. Some recipes call for heavy cream, milk, or butter, but the creaminess in this recipe strictly comes from the Romano cheese, and egg yolks. The…

Rice Congee

Comfort food without the hassle of preparing a huge meal. Congee, more commonly known as rice porridge, is a super simple dish that is literally comprised of 2 ingredients; rice, and water.

Prosciutto and Arugula Flatbread

Finally getting around to this. I know. I’m sorry. Let’s get to it: Prosciutto and arugula are a classic pairing. Enjoy this (what I call) holy duo on a charcuterie board (as seen in my portfolio), as a salad, or now on a flatbread. Prosciutto is a dry-cured ham from Italy, which region? I have…

And She’s Back?

So I know I’ve been away for a minute, but I have a reason! I’ve been lazy. But it’s 2021, so let’s get to it, let’s find that passion again!

Lemon Ricotta Crepes

Crepes have always fascinated me. French culture has always fascinated me. Crepes, for what ever reason, always amazed me. I never knew how simple they were to make, but once I got the batter down, they’ve always been a staple in my back pocket. Crepes can be used in both sweet or savory applications, and…

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

A bite of nostalgia. This recipe brings me back to the good old days of Campbellā€™s Chicken Noodle Soup, but, it’s better! From being sick, or just wanting to warm up a little more, chicken noodle soup is always a go to recipe of mine. This recipe can be made with either fat, flat egg…

Tuna Patties with Lime Cumin Crema

Not sure about ya’ll but tuna fish sandwiches were one of the three sandwiches that rotated in my lunchbox as a kid. Yes I got made fun of because of the smell, and had to learn to pack breath spray, but I’ve grown to appreciate the simplicity in this humble sandwich. Ingredients: Makes 3-4 Patties…
