Pass the Prosciutto – Stuffed Prosciutto Meatballs with Cranberry Glaze
Sponsored Post I love a good appetizer. They set the mood for your tastebuds and get you excited for the meal to come. And if they’re wrapped in prosciutto, well… that’s just icing on the cake! Or ham on the meatball. Either way. These meatballs were crafted with Thanksgiving in mind. I stuffed some of […]
Chocolate Smoked Salt Ice Cream
I have a couple of reasons to be extraordinarily excited right now. For starters: look around! Welcome to the new and improved Kitchenette! I’ve been longing to redesign the site for a while, but the timing never seemed quite right. Once I accepted that I’m never going to be less busy, I sat down and […]
Spicy Coconut Lime Popsicles
^^^Look you guys!^^^ I finally got a popsicle mold! It’s very exciting stuff, not to mention the best $20 I ever spent. I’ve already made 4 batches of popsicles, and it just showed up on my doorstep a week or so ago. I can’t stop! In fact I currently have a pop in one hand […]
Celery & Parmesan Salad
I recently mentioned my unshakable love for all things celery, and my love for Ina Garten is no secret. So when I saw her make this salad a few years back on Barefoot Contessa, it should come as no surprise that it was the very next thing I made. It was delicious. And I didn’t […]
Sausage & Goat Cheese Meatball Sandwiches
I recently had a “meatball sandwich” from an establishment that shall remain nameless. My friend got one too, and we were both a little confused when our sandwiches came out with lettuce, tomato, and onion on them. What?? Is this a Bay Area thing? This has happened to me here before, and I don’t get […]
Maple Lavender Frozen Yogurt
There was a time when I really tried to hate frozen yogurt. This, of course, had nothing to do with the year or so I spent working at a frozen yogurt shop. Nothing at all. I was just genuinely against its velvety texture, the balance of sweetness and yogurty tang, not to mention its health benefits over run-of-the-mill ice […]
Indian Spiced Chicken Wings
When it comes to food and holidays, are you a traditionalist or do you thrive on serving the unexpected? (Have I been watching too many Sex & the City marathons? I feel that question was worded in the style of Carrie Bradshaw…) Personally, I like to walk the line between the two worlds. Take Thanksgiving – […]
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup
It’s no coincidence that the header on this page features lemon zest. My addiction to lemons is real, recognized and wholeheartedly accepted. This latest episode in lemon mania comes from way back in the good ol’ days (A.K.A. the ’90s). If you’re new to this particular recipe, let me introduce you to the lightest, fluffiest, […]
Cacao Nib Caramels
As soon as I poured this caramel hotness into its cooling vessel, I could only think one thing: “I’ve made a huge mistake.” (Props to my fellow Arrested Development fans) Not that I messed up the recipe or anything, I just knew I was on track to eat way too many of these caramels. The […]
Bourbon Pecan Pumpkin Cheesecake
This recipe has been in the works for a loooong time. I had to make sure it was just right for you guys! So over the course of a couple of years, I’ve been enduring the difficult task of making (and eating) this cheesecake. It’s been rough. I can’t lie – it was delicious right […]
