Nothing compares to a great cheese board! Learn how to make a cheese board — from choosing cheeses & picking accompaniments to composing it all on a board!  One of my favorite things to do is put together an impressive cheese board. Not only are they fun to make, but they are always the star

Halloween Brownies

Halloween Brownies | www.thehungrytravelerblog.com

I’ve always loved Halloween.  Growing up, my mom and grandma would team up to make my Halloween costumes by hand. I was never happy with the standard witch or princess and requested oddball costumes such as a drive-in waitress on roller skates, Carmen Miranda, and a flamenco dancer. The Carmen Miranda costume was the most memorable.

Pumpkin Oatmeal with Maple Pouring Cream

Pumpkin Oatmeal with Maple Pouring Cream | www.thehungrytravelerblog.com

I eat oatmeal nearly every morning for breakfast. I’ve trained myself into a routine for consistency and health purposes. I open up a packet of plain oatmeal, microwave it with some water, and add just enough brown sugar and cinnamon to make it edible. I eat it quickly while skimming my email and the news

Brown Butter Pumpkin Madeleines

Brown Butter Pumpkin Madeleines | www.thehungrytravelerblog.com

I unabashedly love pumpkin. Fall is my favorite time of the year and a major reason is because pumpkin is back in season. While I only drink one or two pumpkin spice lattes per year, I could eat pumpkin muffins, cookies, rolls, cakes, and other baked goods every single day. A few weeks back, I shared my

Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Cream Cheese Coffee Cake | The Hungry Traveler | www.thehungrytravelerblog.com

Take a look at the cream cheese coffee cake above and you’ll notice that it isn’t perfect. Here’s a closer look so you can see what I’m talking about… I sprayed my pan well, waited for the cake to cool, and used an offset spatula to loosen the edges.  Even though I did everything right,

Ginger Vanilla Fruit Salad

Ginger Vanilla Fruit Salad | www.thehungrytravelerblog.com

When I was 4 years old, I went through a phase where I only wanted to wear clothes with fruit on them. My mom searched far and wide and came up with several fruit outfits — t-shirts, shorts, jumpers and even a few pairs of pajamas — all featuring strawberries, cherries, pineapple, watermelon, and other fruit designs. It’s

Cuban Flan de Leche

Cuban Flan de Leche

I love talking to people about their favorite recipes and the foods they grew up with. At my last job, we had some of the friendliest and most interesting produce delivery drivers. While I did not look forward to checking in the order and putting all of the produce away, I always enjoyed talking to

Blueberry Peach Pie

Blueberry Peach Pie

Last Thursday evening I taught my first cooking class called “It’s All About the Pie Crust” at Cooks’Wares in Mongtomery, Ohio. I was nervous in the days leading up the the class. Having never taught a cooking class before, I was not sure what to expect. I feared losing track of time, worried about forgetting ingredients, and

Lebkuchen – German Gingerbread Cookies

Lebkuchen German Gingerbread Cookies

A few years ago, my boyfriend Graham and I spent the week of Valentine’s Day in Munich, Germany.  As soon as we landed, the city started experiencing heavy snowfall, wicked winds, and bitterly cold temperatures that ended up lasting the duration of our trip.  Within a few hours, we relented and made our way to a

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

There are a few kitchen tasks that I absolutely dread doing: peeling and deveining shrimp, cutting brussels sprouts, trimming sugar snap peas, and peeling fava beans are a few that come to mind. Usually, it’s those menial, repetitive processes that take all day and bore you out of your mind. But, there are also things that
