Oh, just look at that mozzarella oozing through the polpettone! Doesn’t it tempt you to try to lick the screen? It surely has that effect on me! 😋 This polpettone is everything you would want in a huge meatball: juicy, tender, flavorful and not only stuffed with cheese but also covered in it. Because go big or go home, right? And speaking of home… Back in São Paulo it is tradition to eat Italian food for lunch on Sundays....

Sometimes, a lady just needs a cookie. Whether it’s with coffee for breakfast, a mid-day pick-me-up, or a midnight snack attack, if you ask me, any time is cookie time.

I’ve been admiring moody food photography at Half Baked Harvest and White On Rice Couple for a while now… but it was only after getting a few tips and tricks from Diane and Todd at the Food Blog Forum earlier this month in Orlando that I finally decided to try my take on them. Believe me, I’m nowhere close to the amazing photographers mentioned above, but I’m kinda happy with the results, especially because it was my first attempt!...

Who’s ready for some chocolate love? Now, let me be honest with you right from the beginning and tell you that this recipe is a little more elaborate than my usual recipes. But it is not difficult at all!

A classic French confection, meringue cookies are easy to make, low calorie, and gluten free. Talk about angel food! Meringue cookies are probably the one major French contribution to the world of pastry that doesn’t involve copious amounts of butter, flour, or cream, a fact that made me suspicious of them when I first traveled to France (I headed straight for the French Hot Chocolate and Strawberry Crepes instead). Boy, did I misjudge....

If you’ve never had a mug cake, please allow me to introduce you to what will surely become one of the most delicious, dangerous recipe concepts to grace your kitchen. What makes this particular recipe stand out among the rest is its lineup of ingredients. I dropped the excess butter, oil, and refined sugar you’ll find in most chocolate mug cake and chocolate mug brownie recipes for a healthier lineup: whole wheat flour, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and, of course, plenty of dark chocolate....

Hey there, friends! The weekend is almost here. Anyone have any cool plans? Me and Tim are having some friends over for dinner on Sunday, and I decided to test some appetizer recipes beforehand because, you know, I’m a perfectionist (to the point that I barely enjoy my dinner parties because I’m always running around making sure everything is perfect!). Instead of doing what I usually do – which is calling my grandma – I called my mom (or more like messaged her on Facebook!...

When flavored with pudding, cinnamon, and white wine, this cake tastes like a million dollars. Vegetable oil makes it incredibly moist, too. It’s baked in a bundt pan, to boot, making it look even more spectacular. Also, did I mention that this cake is drizzled with an outrageously decadent butter-wine glaze? Now that’s what I call a top-notch topping! Because it uses a bunch of ready-made ingredients, this cake is such a snap to make....

It’s time for some Thanksgiving life advice. Do not, I repeat, do not buy canned cranberry sauce or cranberry jelly. I’m saying this because I care. The holiday meal you spend hours preparing deserves the real deal.

Pepper steak is a classic Chinese American dish that’s named for its two primary ingredients: peppers (bell peppers, specifically) and strips of steak (often sirloin, flank, or round). It’s in a thick, almost gravy-like sauce made with ginger and soy sauce; the sauce coats every morsel with its rich, savory flavor. No dry grains of rice here! Pepper steak is typically served as a fast, stir-fry style dish, but I wanted to see if I could adapt it for the slow cooker....

For the parts of us that are grown up, I added an elevated twist to make it one of the best chicken noodle soup recipes you’ll try....
