Chipotle Chorizo Tacos

The homemade sweet potato tortilla tempers the spice with a little bit of sweetness and a mezcal lime slaw brightens the flavors and pulls the whole taco together! Oh, hey! Remember me? Anyone who is a chef or a food blogger knows that each takes a…

Savory Butternut Squash Carrot Tart

In this savory Butternut Squash Carrot Tart, carrots and butternut squash are roasted with Harissa and Hungarian paprika then covered in caramelized onions, and baked to custardy perfection in a whole-wheat tart shell.

Ice Cream Cookie Stacks {And a Giveaway!}

Layers of ice cream stacked on top of chewy cookies make the perfect Summer dessert!  Ice cream. Summer. Parties. (Preferably with a grill or a rooftop…maybe both, but beggars can’t be choosers.) Ice cream. It’s become my mission. Now that culinary school is over (tear), there is a huge void in my life where all…

Baked Mushroom Pork Chops

Crème Brûlée – Perfect Portion For Two!

Ahh Crème Brûlée. Crunchy, caramelized sugar top with a creamy vanilla center. Where have you been all my life? I’ll tell you where. Relegated to second-class desserts by my chocoholic tendencies. Crème Brûlée never stood a chance in a restaurant. But now… But now I can’t get enough! And I was genuinely shocked by how…
