I might have mentioned that we've had a lot of company this summer. Like, a lot. And while we both love entertaining and cooking for a crowd (seriously, we're so, so nerdy about it), it can be quite draining.
Grab a party hat; these cherries are having a jubilee.
Uh-oh... It's 5:30 and I've not even begun to think about what to cook for dinner. I love my weekly meal plans, but sometimes life gets in the way and I have to toss that plan out the window. (Or just shuffle it down the list.)
One week to 4th of July, and here's the chicken wings recipe you have to make! Grill it, bake it, cook it over the campfire. It doesn't matter. What matters is this Spicy Miso Sauce that sticks to your fingers, tantalizes your tongue, and puts you in a state of lip smacking meditative bliss.
Do you know anyone that doesn't like pizza? I think it will be hard to find anyone actually. This eggplant pizza, for those that are on a gluten free diet, is just perfect. No bread included of any kind. Eggplants are the perfect vessel to place the tomato sauce and cheese over it.
This delicious Limeade Cake topped with Vanilla Frosting and Toasted Coconut is the perfect dessert for any summer occasion. A local restaurant serves up cake from the coffee shop next door. Giant cake. Giant 3 layer cake. Just about every time Randy and I go there, I cave.
This creamy dreamy classic creme brûlée is incredibly easy to make, yet exquisite dessert to serve at a party. Bonus, you can make it ahead. As you may know, baking is a science. It's important to follow the recipe to the T. Especially, if you are attempting a new recipe.
Stressful finals week? Dreadful weekend job? There's one foolproof cure for our melodramatic college problems: warm, chocolate chip cookies. This gooey combination has been healing broken hearts and soothing overworked souls for centuries. And, in the tumultuous 4-year journey we call college, students are often in need of a few comforting bites of this melted, chocolatey bliss.
For all the times I have ordered chicken lettuce wraps at Chinese restaurants like P.F. Chang's, inhaled entire "appetizers" by myself, and sighed with happiness while licking sticky sauce from my fingers, it never once occurred to me to try making this dish at home.
Cake, cream, and berries combine in a treat that's twice as delectable as the sum of its parts. The buttery cake soaks up the strawberry juices, while the whipped cream adds an airy richness.
