Fresh Apple Juice Ice Cubes

This fresh apple juice is so amazing and such a great base for smoothies and other drinks. All you need is apples and a lemon and you’re all set! I made quite a bit of juice so I wanted to save some for my morning blended smoothies. I used a mini […]

Biscoff-Chocolate-Mousse-Cups-2

Biscoff Whipped Chocolate Ganache Cups 8

Could you survive for six months eating only food scraps? Well, one couple did just that in an eye opening documentary called Just Eat It. It aired last night on MSNBC and I have to say some of the statistics were so disturbing. I already had a pretty good idea […]


Tiramisu Cake 4

I know I’ve been going a little crazy with Tiramisu recipes but I just can’t get enough. There are so many desserts and cakes out there that are just way too sweet and overpowering. Tiramisu is just the opposite. It’s delicate, perfectly sweet, and so incredibly light. I made this […]

Today was a reggae kind of day. I always seem to listen to it when summer is approaching. In six weeks my husband and I will be heading to Europe for a month and we’re so excited!!! I can’t wait to see the look on his face when we visit […]

DIY Coffee Canister

I love recycling jars, wine bottles, canisters, anything that I can make into a DIY project! I made this practical little coffee canister right before my husband and I went on a camping trip to Napa Valley. We were packing our French Press and I realized we needed something to […]

Salmon-&-Chive-Biscuits-2

Smoked Salmon & Chive Biscuits

I finally made biscuits! Not just any biscuits…salmon and chive biscuits! I’ve been craving hot biscuits fresh out of the oven for months now. I don’t know what it is about smoked salmon that I love so much but I’ve been wanting to incorporate it into everything. When I made […]


Feta Puff Pastry with Asparagus & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

I love puff pastry because you can top it or fill it with just about anything, sweet or savory. I always have lots of asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes in the fridge from making my Couscous Breakfast Bowl and Orzo with Mushrooms, Asparagus & Cherry Tomatoes so I wanted to incorporate these […]
