I used to hate tomatoes. Growing up, I wanted nothing to do with them. I didn’t even like sauce. I’d wipe it off my pizza. If my mom made spaghetti, I’d prefer to have plain noodles saved out. I just wanted none of that shit. Somewhere around 18, I made a conscious effort to start…
When you’re grilling yourself a cheese (Archer reference… anyone?), I think the most important ingredient is your cheese. Ok, big fat no brainer. But it IS the make or break aspect of your sandwich. You could drown an insect in the right kind of cheese and I’d still eat it… … did I whet your…
I’m not Irish. Or maybe I am. Who really knows. But I never give up an opportunity to celebrate a holiday. So last year, when my husband asked me to make Corned Beef and Cabbage, I was all over it. His college roommate’s family had made it for him and he dug it. So there…
My grilled cheese sandwiches usually stem from an inspiration ingredient. This time, it was like a freaking no-brainer. I was at the store and I found frozen mozzarella sticks. I thought, what better cheese to make a grilled cheese with, than fried cheese. Obviously. Thus, the fried mozzarella grilled cheese was born. I will say…
I spend so much time trying to come up with innovative ideas in the kitchen, but when it comes down to it, sometimes the simple ones are the tastiest. And in that light, I’m going to simply leave it at that. Caprese Grilled Cheese on Focaccia your favorite focaccia thinly sliced tomato fresh mozzarella, thickly sliced…
What up, guys? So excited to be back for normal postings! Wanted to give you a little something awesome and I know you are all in the mood for a grilled cheese. A rich, decadent, out-of-this-freaking-world grilled cheese. I shall confess, I’m not a HUGE lobster person. This may just be lack of exposure, I’m…
An Unlikely Childhood Favorite This was my shit when I was kid! I’d rock a peanut butter and pickle sandwich so hard in the cafeteria! Sure, I got made fun of, but who freaking cares. It was a staple in my mom’s life and she passed it down to me. Turns out, even as adults,…
I realize EVERYTHING is pumpkin right now. It has taken over every restaurant and grocery store in the country. I say this as I sip my Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Coffee with Coffee-mate Pumpkin Spice Creamer. I’m completely guilty of being sucked into the pumpkin craze. But this one is a little better than the “force…
Um. This is not a cheesesteak. As a Philadelphian and a girl that is set in her cheesesteak ways, I have to be clear about that. To me: • cheesesteaks come on soft and crusty rolls • they use thin cuts of juicy meat • Cheez Wiz is superior • and they have onions, only…
I follow enough food blogs and watch enough Food Network to know that I’m supposed to include a cute little life anecdote with each of my recipes. Well, I have news for you. My anecdotes aren’t always so cute. That being said: So last weekend I got really smashed. The next day I couldn’t eat…
