  • Double Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

    While I usually try to stick to the 80:20 rule when it comes to eating healthy, there are definitely days where I consider a “balanced” diet one where I have a cookie in each hand. This holds especially true for cookies that involve tons of chocolate and chewy goodness! Hey! That kinda sounds just like…

  • Blueberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars

    One of the things I miss the most about living at home is having access to my mom’s cooking on a regular basis. Not only is she an amazing cook, but it was so nice not to have to worry about doing all the cooking all the time… especially during a period of my life where…

  • Appetizer Recipes And Ideas – Savory Style

    Growing up I was no stranger to chicken pot pies. Granted, the ones my mom and I loved to eat were those packaged Marie Callender’s frozen meals that you stick in the oven, but they were delicious nonetheless and would bake up to flaky perfection. I remember carefully picking out all the peas (which I……

  • 30-Minute Classic Tomato Soup

  • Spicy Asian Noodles With Peanut Sauce

    Growing up, I didn’t eat a lot of what most people would consider normal American fare. From twinkies to biscuits and gravy, most of these foods were just not a part of my diet until I started dating my longterm, all-American boyfriend. Family dinners at my house included an eclectic mix of Japanese and Norwegian…

  • Salted Caramel Apple Hand Pies

    If you ever get to know me or read my personal blog, you’d quickly realize that I am food obsessed. I’m pretty game to try any type of food and grew up in an eclectic household where traditional Japanese food of octopus and sashimi were devoured and Norwegian meat cakes were a family favorite. But,…

  • No-Bake Salted Caramel Popcorn

    With Fall now in full swing, I’m loading myself up in all the spiced flavors that come with the season. I feel the need to get my Fall-fix through food since living in California doesn’t make for very good seasons (it’s still 75 and sunny over here without a crunchy orange leaf to be found).…

  • Vanilla Cupcakes With Hazelnut Frosting

    Cupcakes are just one of those foods you can’t go wrong with. I mean, seriously, have you ever heard of someone disliking them or there being leftovers when you bring them to a party? Trust me, I’d know. I was always the “baking girl” in high school and am pretty well-versed on the dynamics of…

  • Buffalo Bacon Cheese Ball – Savory Style

    Now that the holiday season is behind us, and we’re done roasting turkeys, mashing potatoes and sipping on bubbly, the next chapter of winter is upon us – the Super bowl! I, like so many others enjoy the Super Bowl for reasons other than the actual game itself. I love it because it’s yet another…
