Hello there! I hope everybody had a great Easter or Passover 😀 This year, my contribution to the Easter festivities was a Watermelon “cake”. It’s not really a cake…although it looks like just like one. Its a solid piece of watermelon on the inside, deceptively decorated. I found this recipe on Pinterest a…
Back….wayyyy back in 2009, I had a cookie comptetition. It all started because I was searching for the recipe for those traditional soft, sugar-glazed lemon cookies. My grandmother’s cookies were awesome but her recipe had no quantities, no measurements, just a list of ingredients. Grandmas are awesome, professionals at their craft, they did everything by…
Photo taken from Justataste.com Hello world, I am always trying to improve my blog so in my down-time, I scour the internet for blogging tips and ideas. I’ll admit that I check out other food blogs. You know, to see what’s out there in the “blogger-verse”. There are so many great ones, lots of talented…
Hello-again Vanilla-beaners! Yet another Valentine’s day recipe. I love cheesecake in almost any form but I had never tasted this flavor combo before and it was delicious!! The cherry mixture is sweet and mildly tart dabbed here and there so it’s especially delicious when you get a bite with all three elements, the sweet crust, the tangy…

These were, I thought, perfectly Valen-tiny. These are quite small but packed with a deliciously satisfying chocolatey-coffee flavor – highly addictive! I find that adding coffee in one form…
Hey there! Welcome to 2014!!! Wishing you all the best, health, love, prosperity and delicious food – always. This recipe is so easy to make, but nobody will believe it. I served these babies on New Year’s day and my family loved them! I was inspired by a very popular treat native to Sicily,…
Holiday pot luck, cocktail party, kids’ party, Christmas Eve, Christmas day, bridal shower coming-out party and even a pitty-party…any party is an excuse to make these. People love things that are mini and do you know what they love even more? Mini desserts on sticks. People get giddy, its hillarious. Not only are these pies…
Everybody loves fair food, am I right? Corn-dogs (Pogos), funnel cakes, cotton candy and my fav, deep-fried Oreos. I thought that the only place to properly enjoy them would be, where I first discovered them – at the New York Italian Festival, honoring San Gennaro. At his yearly event, you will find kiosk after kiosk…
Bonjour & Howdy, Today I tried something outside of my comfort zone! Come to think of it, a number of things are out of my comfort zone since I am still a novice in the kitchen. However in this case, I am in outer space! Much like math, for which I seem to have a mental…
