I am very passionate about food, both enjoying it and creating it. Because food is such a huge part of my everyday life, it’s hard to fathom that some people in our own city (and in your city) just aren’t able to put a hot meal on the table for themselves or their families. I have been fortunate enough to partner with Glad and be a part of their Glad to Give program which inspires acts of giving, in turn truly building up our communities....

What Are Palmier Cookies? Palmier cookies are a classic French cookie/pastry made from puff pastry. The dough is spread out and dusted with sugar, then both edges are rolled inward until they join at the center, creating a double spiral. This roll is then sliced into thin pieces, which are then baked. Once they puff up in the oven, they form that classic heart shape. Palmier cookies are often dusted in sugar before baking....

Posted Nov 24, 2019, Updated May 06, 2024 Everyone has their favorite Christmas cookie. You know, the variety you eat first from the cookie tray and hope no one else reaches for so there is more for you to enjoy.

Ginger and scallion are a very common pairing in Chinese cooking and there are many versions of seafood cooked in this style....

Sloppy Joes has been a long time favorite around here, in fact, my husband requested them as his birthday dinner last month! :) For years I made the canned variety of sauce, not realizing how easy (and delicious) they are to make homemade. A simple mixture of ground beef, onion, green pepper simmered in a quick sauce made of ingredients you likely already have on hand! While you can make sloppy joes on the stove top fairly quickly, I love this crock pot version because I can prep everything as far as 24 hours in advance....

They’ll slice the plantains, freeze them in single portions, and quickly drop them into a fryer when ordered. That’s a method you could potentially use at home too. First thing to know, though, is that there are two kinds of plantains: sweet plantains and green plantains. You can use this method for either, but the green plantains are a bit more savory. Today, we’re using green plantains, which go great with the Cuban Sandwiches we just posted!...
