Pan Seared Scallops with Baby Greens and Citrus Mojo Vinaigrette
My boyfriend and I and one of my best friends have decided that we all could stand to lose a few pounds so we started calorie tracking on MyFitnessPal in an attempt to drop some weight and get in shape. I thought it was going to be really hard for me to stick to eating … Read more
Enchiladas
I can’t believe all this time I haven’t really cooked Mexican food. I love Mexican food and am surprised I didn’t learn to cook for the sole purpose of eating tacos every night. I still remember what my first encounter was with tacos, or at least what I remember it as. When I was a … Read more
Beef and Lentil Curry
YAY, I can blog again. Lately I have been cooking up a storm – at least cooking one big thing a day (usually dinner) but what stopped me from blogging about it? Photos. A lot of times my boyfriend wasn’t here to take photos for me. My five-year-old cell phone does NOT do the trick. … Read more
Mulligatawny Soup
I had to take a break from the NCC cookbook for just one week… you see, sometimes in life you may accidentally almost break someone’s toe. And sometimes the only thing that can atone for said toe incident is making soup. Not just any soup – but a very specific and absolutely amazing soup. A … Read more
Duck Breast with Concord Chevre Croquette
Before I get started on Nickel City Chef cooking stuff, I’ll say that for Christmas my parents got me a KitchenAid mixer!!! I am insanely excited about it and can’t wait to start making things in it, most of which I plan on giving away being that if I start making baked goods every day … Read more
Blueberry Cake with Maple Syrup
I knew flipping through the Nickel City Chef cookbook that it wouldn’t be long before I made a dessert. The desserts in this book look mouth-watering, and one that definitely caught my eye was a blueberry cake with maple syrup from Chef Paul Jenkins of Tempo. I am a sucker for anything that is cake, … Read more
Cooking in the Nickel City
Last night was my first time trying to cook something out of the Nickel City Chef book. I had got the idea in my head last week that it was something that was a good idea, despite these recipes being WAY above my level of cooking expertise. The recipes seemed to be well written and … Read more
Inspired.
Since everyone knows that I haven’t been blogging, I’m not going to make any lame excuses about how busy I have been and what has been going on, blah, blah, blah, etc. I just don’t to waste the time being that there are much more exciting things to write about, as I have come across … Read more
Which Was Gross?
I always wonder when browsing food blogs, which is often, if the food is as good as the photos depict, or if it’s secretly gross but they still put it up claiming it’s wonderful. Maybe there’s some unwritten rule to not do that, but I bet it happens. Not with me though. I’ve made some … Read more
Spicy Southwestern Chicken Soup
So… I could offer all sorts of excuses as to where I have been and why I haven’t been blogging, but I’m not a big fan of excuses, so I won’t. I guess I didn’t think that anybody would notice I haven’t been writing new posts and I could just start posting again as if … Read more
