Parmesan in meatballs? One word: brilliant. You know when you’ve been eating this particular food for quite some time now since you were a kid, you believed that nothing else would make it better? That’s how I felt with this recipe. Spaghetti in marinara sauce is one of the most common dishes served to kids. Parents would either make it with ground beef, nothing special, or with meatballs going as big as monster’s eyeballs like those in the story books. So when I came upon this recipe and tried it, it just blew my mind away. I know what you’re thinking: how big of a

When the great Thanksgiving feast has come and gone, and the family has vacated the premesis, you know what you are left with.

This year we have reached out to several other food blogs and asked them what their favorite Thanksgiving leftover recipes are and we

For those who like Japanese food, this is just like your California roll. Just, you know, replace the rice with chicken, mangoes with spinach, imitation crab with cheese, and everything else with tomatoes and olives mixed well to create a great sauce. Okay so maybe this isn’t completely like your California rolls but how it’s made is kind of the same thing, more or less. I absolutely loved this recipe! Chicken is definitely one of my favorite go-to meals so to be able to find recipes that will mix it up is really great. This is also perfect served with pasta, rice, or maybe even

Ah. Homemade Coconut Chicken Fingers. Ya got to love them. First, plain and boring or secondly with a little chili sauce and perhaps some cajan spice and you are on your way to a little blitz in heaven. Two problems here though. I am not a fan of the first kind and this recipe has nothing to do with a scrumptious dipping sauce. A nice addition, yes, but not a main part of this dish. Or is it? What's in the dish? coconuts coconut milk coconut oil (get the feeling that there is lots of coconuts? Ya, there is!) chicken cayenne pepper and more! I wish I could just chalk it up to the

When you’re craving comfort food and you’re sure that a simple burger just won’t cut it, you know that the next best thing is a good ol’ Sloppy Joe. Or maybe when you’re not even craving for it, it’s easily one of the greatest mood boosters that would instantly put a smile on your face as you try to devour the whole thing without making a mess and, well, failing at it. But honestly though, who really cares when everyone else is trying hard not to make a mess, too? This is definitely an exciting meal that you’ll surely enjoy eating with other

Ok. I admit. there is nothing in the world quite like making the perfect meal. I mean nothing. Not even making the perfect meal. Is there such a thing? I admit. I am such a home cook. And as a home cook who just happens to be taking photos of the meals that I prepare and serve, I want everything to be perfect. From the prep, to the actual cooking, to the layout of the food for a photo or two, and then finally on the table for my family. The reward? This is THE BEST!!!! The best what? Do I ever hear those words? My five year old often says something like: Yuck. I am not eating that! I want
