♬ Jitterbug ♬ ♬ Jitterbug ♬ Alright, folks. It's Thursday, and it's time to make something that'll put the boom-boom into your heart. Okay, that's the last song lyric to "Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go", I think. Last week I made Matcha Latte Macarons, and since then, I've been thinking about other fantastic hot beverages to turn [...]

Matcha Latte Macarons
I'm beyond giddy to share this matcha latte macaron recipe. I've been dreaming of a matcha macaron that isn't overly sweet, and doesn't rely on a white chocolate filling. (Just not a fan of white chocolate). I thought, hmmm, well I like matcha latte! So I set out to create the creamiest, dreamiest buttercream frosting [...]

Without a doubt, the most famous food export is [...]

But I figured, eh, the world could use more pretty pictures of coffee. So here we go. If you haven't been living under a [...]
Spinach & Feta Puffs
Nutella Puff Pastry Twists
A month ago, I was perusing around Trader Joe's looking for new goodies to try out. One thing that caught my eye was the frozen puff pastry sheets (in the ice cream aisle). I typically make my own puff pastry, mainly because I find that store-bought puff pastry sheets typically just don't taste as good [...]
Baby Hasselback Potatoes
Ian's favorite food is potatoes. Mashed potatoes, to be exact. This year for Valentine's Day, I wanted to make him a steak dinner, but I wanted to elevate his beloved potatoes. For me, the fanciest a potato could look is a Hasselback potato. Hasselback potatoes are a Swedish-style baked potato with slits down the middle [...]
