Sometimes in life we have to compromise, but not when it comes to this dessert. This crumble will give dessert lovers the best of both worlds: a mixture of tart, fresh fruit and semi-sweet, salty chocolate. I am usually not the biggest fan of chocolate, but I still found this dish pretty irresistible. My recipe is an adaptation from an earlier…
Swedish Meatballs & Egg Noodles
So I have to come clean. While I do still live in the big city, I no longer cook in a tiny kitchen. I know, I’m living a lie, but the name Big City, Medium Kitchen just didn’t have the same ring to it. A few weeks ago, I upgraded and moved into a new…
Wheat Berry Salad
I’m literally typing as I’m eating, this salad turned out so delicious I couldn’t wait to share. It’s so simple and fresh and goes with absolutely anything. If you are not familiar with wheat berries, they are a fibrous whole grain with a nutty taste and a delightful chewy texture, almost similar to rice. I paired the…
Summertime Pizza
This pizza is like taking an actual bite out of summer. It’s topped with the quintessential summertime vegetables, corn and zucchini, and also incorporates a mix of sweet and spicy flavors pulled from Italian sausage and tangy goat cheese. I also added an egg on top, because, why not? I wanted the vegetables to shine, so instead of making a base sauce, I…
Pasta Carbonara
What could be better than pasta carbonara, I mean it’s basically like having breakfast for dinner. Coincidentally breakfast is my favorite meal, so you could say I’m a sucker for a big bowl of bacon, egg and noodle deliciousness. My recipe uses bucatini noodles, which are thick hollow noodles perfect for soaking up the egg, parmesan and cream…
Nutella Donuts
I’m on such a donut kick right now. My donut pan is sure getting a lot of use. I wanted to create something completely opposite than my last batch, so I went the chocolate route. When I think of chocolate, I immediately picture Nutella. I’m not a huge chocolate fan, but Nutella I could eat…
Mashed Avocado Toast with Ricotta, Honey & Cayenne Pepper
Avocado Toast is definitely having a moment right now, and it’s no surprise. This snack is healthy, delicious, filling and only requires a few ingredients. Some foods are so simple and easy to make that they don’t seem worth talking about, but when it comes to avocado toast, this one absolutely is. What’s better than buttery, rich avocado and…
Peach, Raspberry and Blueberry Crostata
Well, that was delicious… …but then again, what isn’t delicious that has a sugar and butter crumble on top. Although I have to say, for me, the fruit is the star of this dish. I used peaches as the base and raspberries and blueberries to bring in texture, tartness and those bright, vidid colors. You could throw together…
Three Cheese Eggplant Parmesan
I’ll start out by saying, I’m typically not the biggest fan of eggplant. I think most of us can agree that eggplant falls pretty low on their list of favorite vegetables. Before you start feeling bad for our eggplant friend, I decided to give it another chance in my cheesy Italian recipe, Eggplant Parmesan. When cooked correctly and paired with…
Brown Butter Baked Donuts with a Brown Butter Cinnamon Glaze
I spent my past Saturday morning baking donuts, and it was glorious. In my opinion, all weekends should involve baking and glazing. Also, who knew it was so easy to bake donuts? I was very happy with the way these turned out, especially for it being my first try. For my boyfriend this was a game changer, since now…
