The Foodie Chef

  I have never actually tried making chicken and dumplings — ever. I guess it’s because I grew up on matzo ball soup and it was good enough.  There was no need to learn how to make other dumpling soups.   The other day I was watching my favorite channel, The Cooking Channel; It’s pretty [...]

Planning different foodie adventures excites my everyday life. I then have experiences to look forward to. The original plan was to check out Jazz Fest. After the unsuccessful hunt to find nothing but pricey hotels, we decided on going the weekend before the madness.  There are still amazing bands playing so why not? The last time I [...]

Hello foodies! I have such fond memories (i’m sure you do too) of  eating a huge bowl of cinnamon toast crunch cereal and enjoying the sweet milk that follows. I love the flavors { sugary, cinnamony, crunchy, sweet, and slightly salty. }  Combining this delicious cereal with a fluffy cupcake is the perfect combination.  I [...]

A friend joined me in making donuts for :: Valentines Day :: We landed on the lemon blueberry flavor with spicy cardamom because you always need something sweet in your life.  These aren’t your usual fried , crunch yet fluffy donuts.   They’re more like muffins in the shape of donuts.  The Meyer lemon glaze really balances [...]

It was time for a trip. When life gets repetitive, there’s a huge need for a foodie adventure! Austin is only a few hours away so it’s not a bad ride. Our trip was kind of last minute but before going, I posted on facebook asking friends for food suggestions. We hit some of the [...]

One day I was searching for the best cinnamon roll recipe. I could have easily bought the pillsbury stuff but that’s too easy. Homemade dough is always better. I searched through pinterest and found this great recipe that had a secret ingredient. This ingredient was the key  to the moist, fluffy, delicious texture and flavor. [...]

Happy New Year! I know, I know, everyone starts their diets in the beginning of the new year. It’s the time to say bye-bye to sweets and treats.  Do you really keep to this? I like to trick myself and eat more greens yet still have treats! I mean, come on, it’s not fun cutting [...]

The theme lately, with me, seems to be salty and sweet (last post).  Salty, fluffy, crispy, and chewy pretzel balls paired with sweet, savory, chewy and flavorful bacon jam. What more could you ask for? Your tastebuds will be dancing once you eat these nuggets dipped in heaven.  This will be a hit at your holiday party, [...]

//Perfect for Holiday Gifts // Chewy caramel is a nostalgic flavor for me ever since I tasted a milk dud.  I have many memories of my dad and myself devouring an entire box while watching movies. You can’t help but remember all of the clusters of sugar that get stuck in your teeth. It’s so worth it because they [...]
