  • Garlic Confit – Savory Style

    The other day my husband and I decided to take the baby on her first trip to the beach. On the way we stopped at a Chinese grocery store (they have the most unique and cheapest produce!) and they had a deal on peeled garlic cloves. One pound for two bucks! I couldn’t resist the…

  • Chocolate Gingerbread Truffles

    There are certain foods that, although perfectly delicious in their own right, become a whole other force to be reckoned with when combined. Peanut butter and jelly. Ketchup and fries. Cookies and cream cheese. Wait… what? Here’s the part where I kindly ask you to lower your slightly raised eyebrow and stop looking at me like I’m crazy. I realize…

  • Chunky Dark Chocolate Coconut Oat Cookies

    So I have a soft spot in my heart for cookies. I mean, who doesn’t, though? They’re soft and comforting and perfectly sweet and I would like one in my mouth right now, please. Drool.

  • Chunky Monkey Banana Bread

    We all have those certain comfort foods that bring back good memories from when we were growing up. I have a couple: my mom’s beef soup, baked garlic chicken wings, and banana bread. It’s weird that banana bread would top my ultimate comfort list because growing up I had a slight food allergy to a…

  • Fruit And Nut Breakfast Bars – Savory Style

    As someone who’s main motivation to get out of bed is the promise of a good breakfast (and coffee), I’ve never been able to understand those who skip what is probably the best meal of the day. I’m sure we’ve all heard it said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I’m…

  • Spicy Asian Noodles With Peanut Sauce – Savory Style
