How can this not be calling your name...? It's super easy too! I love this cake or many reasons, the #1 is that its so tasty and easy to make. This is such a big deal to me because 3 years ago I made Alton Brown's Coconut Cake recipe. Yes, it was good but all the time consuming ingredient prep made it a big F in my book. It took me like 2 hours to get everything together not to mention I saved

I'm so sorry I haven't been updating at all lately! I haven't abandoned my food blog I just have two major parts of my life coming up (my Papa Louie is dying ((this is my first)) and I'm finishing up my internship and I have a billion papers to write and it's all due April 1. I have been cooking and taking pictures so once I am done April 15 you will see so much more of me, I'll drive you crazy.

I have no pictures because this was really a rather ugly looking finished piece but it is something that anyone can change a combo on and do them selves and incorporate it into anything. I just got home from a LONG weekend in RI to see my grandpa (he is dying from a 6mm aneurysm in his heart, colon cancer and Alzheimer.) Its a very sad thing watching a loved one waste away so when I got home last

This for me is a bunch of fun to make and I usually have everything on hand for it, ready to go. This week has been high and low in temperature it's making me crazy, if Spring is coming it needs to stay. I'd really like to not have to wear my winter coat in the morning because its too cold, then have it be so warm I have to take my sweater off in the car besides not having my jacket on. Seriously

Ha I know It's not on a plate! Mainly because it usually doesn't make it off the baking sheet lol! We pick at it all night long, its hilarious how Jon and I act like 6 year old's with food. SOOOOO how can meatloaf NOT be messy you ask? I can feel your disbelief radiating off my laptop screen right now.Go into your kitchen and grab that handy dandy gallon sized zip lock bag and dump all the

Trying to take a healthy approach for the next month we sort of depended on take out for awhile with this internship going on. Chicken has been our go to ingredient for dinners lately and this one came out amazing for looking so plain Jane! Its so fragrant too! We just got about 6 inches of snow which caused schools to be closed yesterday :[ So I had a day of fun meal planning and came up with an

This is the most delicious stromboli and its so easy to make. Don't pass this up when you have some kind of event coming up. This is the kind that you slice and walk away with it, not the "lets make it look pretty on a plate" meal.

So I have been absent lately and also have been strapped for cash and the things I have been making are literally chicken breast with salt and pepper cooked in butter. Not much use for this blog which is for experimenting :/ I also started my Internship (third time grrr...) and have been busy and very tired so yea, instant mashed potatoes have been my buddy lately lol. Recently I started

Ugh a failure and a waste of food. We all hate it when it happens and yet we try to salvage the pieces. This morning I went to make a fruit smoothie for Jon and I because it was about time we both had a boost of fruit in our diets and we could definitely use the vitamins we get from a finished product. I have no pictures but I thought to share how I make my smoothies 2 different ways in the

Hell yeah. I make a damn good roasted chicken, if I do say so myself. I have one of those 6th senses for chicken and beef. I always cook it perfectly and tastily. So Christmas came and went then New Years with even more left overs which were happily eaten for the next two days. Then I started my internship and celebrating Jon's 30th Birthday. So I ended up with left over take outs and sandwhiches

I bought all my gifts like 2 1/2 weeks ago and decided to buy myself a mini deep fryer for $34, I've been wanting one for a few years now and I honestly didn't think I once hinted to anyone that I did. Well turns out apparently I complain about not having a deep fryer every time I watch something get fried on Food Network LOL. I never actually thought I voiced my wishes so often, well someone got

Oooh how I love a good sugar cookie! But I am picky about them I hate it when there is too much frosting and the cookie is too sweet. Yes I know, SUGAR COOKIE. It's supposed to be sweet but I like mine a bit mellow and more tasty.

So I was just goofing off with this recipe and it came out great, I was genuinely  surprised! When I cook or bake I always take pictures but sometimes I don't write them down because I don't see them being good enough to put up here. Like the side of cous cous and vegetables on the dish. I need to seriously re do that and change the amounts I used. I thought the pork was gonna suck and the

HOLY COW can you tell how much this was a success?! Here is the proof from Jon himselfGreedy man : ) He was shoveling this in his mouth lol.So I had I bag of frozen edamame in the freezer in their shells so it was a bit tedious to shell them but luckily they sell these babies already shelled. We like them whole as a healthy snack.I had made baked potatoes the day before as a side dish and had

 Gram actually calls this the poor man's soup lol but that doesn't sound very nice. But it really is very simple delishious soup and most homes have the main ingredients on hand already so there is no need to go out and buy an ingredient that you are missing. Plus the ingredients are all very cheap at the market so its affordable, tasty, inventive and a one pot meal. You need 1 can (or

So why tomatoes and mushrooms you ask? Well Jon HATES them, which means more tasty morsels for me : D Haha! Now that I read that, it seems like I'm being a selfish little food whore but what can I say.... I love my vegetables and so does Jon! So that means if I want some tasty veggies for myself I have to make them with veggies he doesn't like. Luckily I love all veggies. This is what was on hand

I fell in love with this recipe from my favorite Australian food blogger Almost Bourdain. I fell in love with it when I saw it, I kinda drooled. Young's Oriental store sells thinly sliced pork belly and Ribeye (from cheap cuts to expensive cut,s its a nice option.) So I went out on a limb and assumed they may slice the meat there at their store because they do a lot of home made cooking of fish,

So I thought I would make a random quick post and show you my tomato plant and herbs. Im going to attempt to try and grow my tomato plant all winter its got like 4 green tomatos and one red left (I can't believe I still have one and it's November 22!)  With Honey hanging out in the warm sun  I have parsley, english Thyme, sage and chives in this section in my kitchen window I have a big

I was browsing around for something yummy, easy and Asian last night and stumbled upon a recipe for stir fried rice cake in a spicy sauce. I was going to Young's Oriental Store in Newark, DE, near our apartment, today so I thought I would give this a whirl, I know its not things you would have on hand normally but based on where I live (DelaWHERE?) I think most people could get the ingredients at

So the other day I had just one salmon fillet left in my freezer, so I let it defrost for a day in the fridge.I pre heated the oven to 400 F and pulled out some parchment (about one arm length) and put it on my baking sheet. I placed the salmon on top and this is what I did... 1  2inch salmon fillet1 tbsp Dijon mustardthinly sliced raw vidalia onion (just enough to cover)Salt and pepper1
