I love Cafe Mocha

I had the hankering for a cafe mocha yesterday and instead of heading to Starbucks I went to another big national food chain that just opened in town. Disaster! Not only did it not taste good – I totally got sick later in the day (I can only assume it was from the strange “syrup”…

Chicken Soft Tacos

So I made chicken soft tacos. This is super fast & easy – perfect for those week night dinners when you’re half in the chair and half out the door heading to some kid activity. If you’re in a pinch feel free to use rotisserie chicken. If I had enough counter space I’d totally live…

Blanc Biscotti

Do you ever find yourself with one cup of left over white wine? No?!? I’m the only one? Well just pretend you do, and you decide to cook with it. My recipe for Blanc Biscotti is easy and fun. Not to mention everyone will go crazy for how tasty these little bites. I came up…

Failure to Success – Accidental Creamed Spinach

So in an attempt to embrace the Irish in my family I’ve been on the hunt for Irish recipes. I’d love to hear from someone actually living in Ireland about Irish foods. Sadly my American friends with Irish roots were of no use with recipes unless they were drinks. I hope you enjoy this Irish…

Irish Nachos

Some recipes make me laugh out loud. Irish Nachos – how does this work?  Laughing, they’re made with potato rounds, no tortilla chips. Are these real nachos? No. These are a delicious potato snack. Nom nom. They’re crazy easy. And kid approved. They’re great for a crowd. IRISH NACHOS Baking potatoes Dairy free cheese Dairy…

I Made Irish Soda Bread

I’ve never attempted to cook an Irish recipe like this Irish Soda Bread, though the hubs has made it a few times for wine dinners. As much as I love eating carbs, I am coming to the conclusion that I am not much of a lover of making yeast dough. It isn’t that they’re hard….

Irish Apple Crumble

Tipping the hat to the Irish again today with this Irish recipe I found for Irish Apple Crumble. In testing out a new recipe I always cut it in half because I’m never sure exactly what’s going to happen and there’s nothing worse than wasting ingredients on a bad recipe. However this was a HUGE…

Irish Coffee Cake

Irish Coffee Cake In honor of the small bit of Irish in my family I thought I’d give you a few out of the normal Irish recipes in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. This coffee cake is a great recipe. To be honest these aren’t from my family. Apparently my family did not embrace the…

Homemade Falafel Bites

Have you, after many years of doing something, ever had to change the way you do it because of something out of your control? That’s me with cooking and adult onset food allergies. There are so many degrees of food allergies, and I consider myself blessed that as obnoxious as mine are, at this stage…
