Essential Kitchen Equipment – Knives

The Knives You Need in Your Kitchen | The Hungry Traveler

My first day of culinary school started out pretty boring.  My classmates and I nodded along as we talked about the uniform code, went over page after page of rules and learned how to tie our neckerchiefs, but things finally got exciting when we were given our knife kits.  There was a definite nervous energy

Baked Ham and Swiss Christmas Sandwiches

Baked Ham and Swiss Christmas Sandwiches

We don’t have a tradition for breakfast on Christmas.  Some years we have a make ahead casserole, others we have some pastries and fruit, and last year I made biscuits and gravy.   While our breakfast always changes, our lunch does not.  As soon as we’re done opening presents, these baked ham and swiss sandwiches

Essential Kitchen Equipment – Cookware

Essential Kitchen Equipment: 12-inch Traditional Skillet from All Clad #cookware #cooking #kitchen

A friend recently asked me for advice on the essential kitchen equipment that she should purchase to outfit her kitchen.  She was overwhelmed by the choice of sets, different materials, and which cookware is truly necessary.  Equipping your kitchen for the first time can be difficult but you don’t need a lot of kitchen equipment to cook well.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cupcakes for Halloween #Cupcakes #Halloween #PeanutButter #Chocolate

I had my 5th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  I don’t remember too much about it except that Chuck E Cheese provided a birthday cake for the kids to decorate. At some point during the party, a server brought out a plain white frosted cake with several cups of different colored sprinkles and various tubes of icing

  Chocolate Ganache just sounds good.  Would you rather have chocolate icing or chocolate ganache?  I’d go for the ganache.

Peanut Butter Mousse

Peanut Butter Mousse is dangerous to have in your refrigerator.  You may find yourself sneaking spoonfuls or maybe even dipping cookies into it.  Not that I know from experience or anything…

Pumpkin Cheesecake Crescent Roll Rounds

Pumpkin Cheesecake Crescent Roll Rounds - the perfect fall breakfast or treat! #pumpkin #cheesecake #fall #baking

  I don’t enjoy grocery shopping.  It always seems to take longer than it should when I can never manage to find what I need in my  uncomfortably crowded local store.  Instead of dreading it all weekend, I’ve started forcing myself to go to the store on Sunday mornings as soon as I get up.

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats are made from a few simple ingredients and will provide you with a healthy and delicious breakfast. #Pumpkin #Pie #Overnight #Oats

I’m not the kind of girl that likes a healthy breakfast.  I’m a pancakes and bacon, biscuits and gravy, chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll type of girl.  I’d much rather skip breakfast and just have coffee than try to choke down a greek yogurt or protein shake.  It just doesn’t work for me. But, sometimes your

Easy Key Lime Pie Recipe

I made my first key lime pie when I was 12 years old and I remember it clearly because it was somewhat of a disaster.  It was the middle of the summer and a few days a week my cousin Melissa would come over.  We would hang out, swim, and work on our quilts (we had
