First time I’ve made crab cakes and I’m definitely making them again! The meat was a bit spendy because I didn’t want to use Krab, but it was worth it. I tried a new way of preparing French fries and its my new go to! 1 lb Cooked Dungeness Crab Meat ½ cup Breadcrumbs 2Continue […]

I love chicken drumsticks! They’re easy to cook, affordable and make a great canvas for a variety of spices. I may or may not have forgotten that I pulled out 5 lbs a few days ago and needed to cook them tonight. Prep took all of 5 minutes, which was so awesome! Plus, I onlyContinue […]
What an absolutely amazing staple to any kitchen! I used to buy pesto at my local store but it was insanely expensive. After making it the first time I realized just how simple it is to keep my kitchen stocked. It’s so easy and lasts in the fridge for 3 weeks and the freezer forContinue […]

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! I’ve been craving Red Velvet waffles for a couple of days and thought they would be a nice pre-Christmas Breakfast treat. Cream Cheese Frosting seemed like it would be a little to decadent for the morning, so I opted for Whipped Cream instead. The cinnamon on top added a really niceContinue […]

Day 21 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge I needed to use up some of the generic brand crescent/croissant tubes I bought on special for 89¢ and stashed in my freezer a while back.

I had a lot of leftover Frijoles de Olla from class that needed to be used up, but I didn’t want to make soup with it because it’s a balmy 70°F here. Taco Pizza to the rescue! I refried some of the beans and added them as the “sauce”. It was a hit and IContinue […]

When I was vacationing with my family in Maui years back everything was served with this amazing Macaroni Salad, locally referred to simply as Mac Salad. It varies from its mainland cousin with its lack of mustard and minimal vinegar. It’s a simple and amazing recipe that is my go-to potluck recipe! It comes togetherContinue […]
