The Pescetarian and the Pig

Tabbouleh is traditionally made with bulgur wheat, but you know I don’t like to make things the way they’re “supposed” to be made! I chose Wild Rice for this recipe because I just love it: It’s sweet, nutty, I love the texture, and who knew it was high in protein, low in fat, a great […]

This cheesecake serves two purposes for me: One, it’s a cheesecake that includes the ingredients of my all-time favorite sandwich. Two, this sandwich happens to be what I named my pet ducks after; Peanut, Butter, Jelly, and Banana Sandwich. I thought about naming this recipe “Quackers Cake”…. and I will probably call it that on […]

This one is so simple, so quick, so easy, calorie-free, and they work great for parties, get-togethers, snacks… It’s not by any means a new concept, but it is a beautiful way to present them!

It’s especially great for a summer cookout, especially because you can get all of the ingredients straight from your very own garden! The roasted vegetables are delicious hot out of the oven, and they’re just as good chilled. It […]

When the weather starts to heat up, all i can think about is eating fresh, cold, delicious fruit. One of my summer favorites happens to be raspberries.

If you’re in North Carolina, you can usually find this sauce at Harris Teeter with the rest of the hot sauces, although there have been a few Harris Teeters that I’ve come across without them. This is a cayenne-pepper based sauce, but it […]

I love love LOVE fresh Caprese salad, and I’m a huge fan of seared Ahi Tuna… So why not combine the two things I love into a mouth-watering toasted sandwich? It’s even better if you can use ingredients from your own garden, or local ingredients fresh from the Farmer’s Market (one of my favorite things […]
