Recipe: Foolproof French Toast

 

I never understood the crazy line-ups for brunch.  I'd rather stay at home in my pj's and whip up a breakfast in minutes - and for a fraction of the price! It's just eggs people, calm the eff down.

Recipe: Crème brûlée

For those of you who know me, know that I lost my sweet tooth as a child.  I'll choose salt over sugar anytime, any day.  Crème brûlée  however is not overly sweet, and a classic that no one can resist - even me! 

Recipe: Rich Chicken Stock

I always find it really exciting when I discover a new cooking tip.  Something that I've never heard before - on a cooking show, a cook book, or a food magazine.  Here is one of those top secret moments!

Recipe: Fried Zucchini Blossoms

If you've never had fried zucchini blossoms before, think of them as a classier Italian version of a jalapeno popper.  Unless you grow your own  zucchini,  zucchini blossoms may be pretty hard to come by.  If you're lucky like me, you might be able to find them at your local farmer's market.  They don't keep well - so you'll need to use them up rapidamente!  

Recipe: Free Chocolate Banana "Ice Cream"

Alright, so it's mid-March and it'll be summer before you know it.  You"ll look down at your muffin-top by the pool and think "Why did I eat like a Sumo wrestler in training for months?"  Well I can't help you with your winter insulation (especially since I have my own) but I can help with a low fat healthy dessert recipe!  I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but my husband Kruno and I devoured it so fast we only have  this semi-blurry picture as evidence.   That's how good it was. Intrigued yet?

Recipe: Crab cakes

Crab cakes are a delicious, elegant treat.  They make an impressive appetizer for a dinner party, but you don't need a special occasion. After all, who is more deserving than you?!  And they are much easier to make than you would think.  I promise!

Recipe: Tuna Tartare

My apologies for not posting in awhile. You'd think unemployment would give me more spare time, right?  But I broke my camera, and I'm also in the process of fine tuning some recipes - so be on the lookout for new recipes to come!

Those of you that know me, will probably know that I have a special place in my heart for raw protein.  From oysters, to carpaccio, to tartare! Below is my recipe for easy tuna tartare.  Say goodbye to expensive restaurant prices and stingy portions!
