Avocado Bowls With Grouper Ceviche

I may or may not have expressed my love for serving vessels that can be eaten. Continuing the celebration of Cinco De Mayo, I discovered a ceviche recipe from Jay Cooney which he obtained from Unico a beach bar in Puerto Morales Mexico. The recipe has been modified slightly so you can eat the serving “vessel” […]

Cinco De Mayo Is For Chalupas

I know what you are thinking. Taco Bell Chalupas are delicious but what doe they have to do with Cinco De Mayo? Taco Bell Chalupas have nothing to do with Mexico or Cinco De Mayo. The real Chalupas,  however hail from Mexico and they’re  a common street food eaten in Puebla during the holiday. What? […]

Turkey And Artichoke Shells

Stuffed pasta shells are excellent because they allow you to eat your protein while cutting down on your carb intake. Rather than serving yourself a hardy bowl of pasta, you can serve yourself a stuffed pasta shell which can be filled with meat and veggies. The recipe below is not only delicious but rather light […]

Tostones with Avocado Mango Salsa

Tostones are twice fried unripened plantains which originated in the Caribbean. Depending on where you eat them (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, etc) the servings styles vary greatly. What I mean by this is the tostones will accompany a variety of salsas, dips, or ceviche. Eating these with ceviche is personally one of my favorite […]

Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf

Meatloaf is one of those classic dishes everyone loves to hate. Chances are you probably have some stories to share about meatloaf and your childhood. Personally I feel this dish is misunderstood.

Making your own chocolate is perhaps one of the most rewarding things you can accomplish in the kitchen. You are probably asking yourself why I feel this way. Simply put, everyone loves chocolate. The problem with most chocolates however in the US is the excessive sweetness. When you make chocolate at home, you are in […]

Quinoa And Feta Burgers

Every now and then it’s nice to eat clean. If you are not familiar with this concept, eating clean simply means you eat foods that have not been processed. From time to time it’s nice to take the clean eating to the next level and experiment with your food by eating super foods. Check out […]

Sloppy Joe Sliders

I must admit Sloppy Joe’s are not my favorite thing to eat in the world. They are messy, often too sweet, and typically flavor less. Lucky for you I discovered a recipe courtesy of Byron Talbott that is both tasty and practical because who doesn’t love sliders. Give these babies a try and let me […]

5 Desserts Made In the Microwave

The microwave became a counter top appliance in most homes around 1967. What followed after that were hundreds of recipes that could be made in the microwave as a way of replacing the usage of the oven and stove top. Typically the microwave is used to cook dinner or lunch and today I will show […]

Oh oh oh, Oreo Cannolis

Cannolis are perhaps the most iconic Italian food items you can eat. Just saying the word brings images of several mafia movies to mind. Aye, Don’t forget about the cannolis! I don’t believe this to be an exact quote from a movie but you get the idea. This recipe however is completely Non Italian but it puts […]
