Hi everyone! How are you? I had a craving for tacos the other day but I wanted to try a lighter alternative to your typical, high-fat taco shell. BAM! This lettuce taco wrap was born. Just like when you add shredded lettuce to any taco, the lettuce adds a fresh, crispness to the otherwise heavy [...]
I was browsing Cooking Classy’s beautiful food photography on Pinterest and saw her recipe for German Pancakes. A German pancake, also known as a Dutch baby pancake, is baked in the oven. These are generally served with fresh squeezed lemon, butter, powdered sugar and fresh fruit or syrup. German Pancakes are very simple to make and taste [...]
Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes to order at a Thai restaurant. For some reason I can never quite master this recipe at home. I don’t know what their secret is but this time around I came pretty darn close. Most Pad Thai sauces call for tamarind, sugar, fish sauce, vinegar, tomato paste [...]
I don’t like to admit that I’m ever selfish, but from time to time I do tend to act a bit more needy than any normal girl ever should. This recipe all started when I was experiencing that thing women experience once a month – that pull your hair out and scream until you get [...]
If you’re like me, sometimes you find yourself staring into your pantry or fridge and see something that inspires the heck out of your next meal. Today’s entrée was inspired by a can of artichoke hearts leftover from Mister’s Vegan Baked Ziti dish. I originally saw this recipe on Kate’s Framed Cooks blog and mentally [...]
This was my first attempt at a vegan dessert and I must say that I patted myself on the back for this one. There aren’t a ton of kooky ingredients in this recipe (by “kooky” I mean ingredients that I buy once and never again) however, you might be surprised to read that this mousse [...]
My friends, I have a confession to make. *Takes a deep breath…* I have never baked bread before. *Looks away in shame* That’s right. I, Miss Foodie McBooty, was so intimidated by the IDEA of baking bread that I’ve steered clear of any recipe and given every bread-maker the stink eye. Now, I’ve successfully made [...]
Veganism is something that Mister and I are both currently exploring. We are meat lovers at heart, but from time to time I find an amazing vegan recipe that I have to try (and Mister is typically my guinea pig). Plus a good friend of ours is vegan, which provides even more opportunities to create [...]
Did you have a fabulous holiday? Majority of the firework shows around Colorado were cancelled due to all the wildfires that are still raging on in these parts. I feel for all of those families who have lost their homes. On a lighter note, we didn’t have a fireworks show here but that didn’t stop [...]
I admit, I am way behind on the culinary “up and up.” I just discovered this cake from 17 and Baking and I think it is so freaking creative. It’s one of those moments where I asked myself, “Why didn’t I think of this?” And then I remind myself that I don’t really enjoy baking. [...]
Every since I joined Pinterest, I’ve seen beautiful pictures of lemon bars, blueberry muffins, and other various fruit crumbly bakes that make my mouth water. Because July is Blueberry month, I decided it was time that I tried baking one of these delicious looking creations myself. These were originally supposed to be lemon bars, but [...]
Hello! My name is Nicole. I'm a blogger, a sports fan and a bacon activist. When I'm not making a huge mess in the kitchen, I am leaving my mark outside or gaming with my Mister. Read more...
