waffles

I made these waffles for my boyfriend on our anniversary, and I think it’s safe to say he isn’t going anywhere lol. They are absolutely divine. Grilled peaches adorn a tender, crisp, fluffy-yet-kinda-custardy waffle, followed by a sweet blueberry maple syrup that just seals the deal. Sign yourself up!

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted a recipe, and I have valid reasons or that — but who cares about those. Let’s just enjoy this, shall we? If you don’t know anything about me, just know that I adore comfort food — food made with love. It just tastes better. Also know that I love breakfast/brunch. Lastly, know all about my love affair with waffles. They’re sinful, delicious fluffy vehicles for butter, syrup and other goodies. 
If you don’t own a waffle iron, I suggest you get yourself one ASAP. They’re awesome to have, and necessary for this recipe. If you don’t have a belgian waffle maker, no big deal! Just use whatever kind of waffle iron you have. I don’t think the waffle police are gonna come banging on your door, it’s not that serious — just know you’ll have more batter leftover. Oh, and can we talk about that blueberry maple syrup?? Listen, it’s one of those things you’ll find yourself making over and over, and with different berries. You can do this with raspberries, blackberries, you name it. It keeps well in the fridge for a while too. As far as grilling the peaches go, I used a grill-pan. I also left the skins on the peaches, but you can totally remove them if you’d like — it’s up to you. Make sure your peaches aren’t too mushy, they should be ripe yet firm. I garnished my finish plate with raspberries as well, just because I had them (and they’re gorgeous and yummy). We smashed this plate, and then smashed each other later. Yeah, it’s one of “those” dishes

Homemade Beef Taco's

So I'm from Buffalo, and as the world know we had a snow storm that shut the city down for a week and a half. The only thing that kept me from getting cabin was these that i made. No  amount of snow was gonna stop me from making it happened. You already know how I feel about tacos. They’re my little pieces of heaven in a cruel and cold dog-eat-dog world. Tacos…are everything. These tacos are completely homemade. No kits. No seasoning packets. No boxed taco shells — which I’d still eat, but only in a pinch. There’s nothing better than frying your own corn tortillas for a taco, and this method I learned makes life so much easier. It takes just a few minutes to fry up the taco shells, and the crunch they provide is out of this world. These tacos are perfect — no orange grease running down your arm, perfectly seasoned, just hands down delicious. Once you make these, you won’t bother with the box kits…nothing beats the taste of homemade. Plus, you’ll feel so special knowing that ...

Pineapple Salsa

Yea…I do realize that it’s no longer summer, but when I have a craving for something…then I have to have it. I wanted a fresh, cool, sweet yet spicy burst of summer despite it being “ugg season”… This is delicious. It’s a very basic fruit salsa recipe that you can alter to make your own. You can add additional fruits if you want, different peppers, beans — anything you want. Make sure you use a red onion though, don’t use any other kind because it won’t taste right. Fruit salsas are excellent over savory meats such as chicken or steak, but they’re even better on seafood. This baby here provides you with freshness, brightness, sweetness and heat. I used 2 very tiny Serrano peppers for this recipe, and I left some of the seeds from one in and removed the rest. I wanted a balanced heat, one that would compliment the natural sweetness of the fruit. I didn’t see any whole pineapple’s at Whole Foods today, but they did have these cup size “to go” packets of fresh pineapple an...

Turkey Pot Pie

Comfort foods are my favorite part of the Fall/Winter seasons. You kinda have this excuse to curl up in front of the fire with a bowl of something that was prepared by hand and cooked all day. It’s the perfect time of the year for meals like this. We all grew up on some form of pot-pie, most of us bursting our pot-pie cherries by eating a flavorless frozen version. I admittedly hated those pies, but made sure I ate the crust. That was really the only decent part of the pie, if that. Now that I’m an adult, I prefer my pot-pies to be creamy but not super thick and gloppy, like the frozen ones some of us grew up on. I like to be able to experience the texture of each vegetable in every bite. I hate potatoes that fall apart into a mealy mess, so I used Yukon Gold’s. They’re perfect for this recipe, so make sure you use them. I am a huge fan of the top and bottom crust, but not for whole pies. If I’m making a large pie — which I did here — I much prefer a top crust, only. That way I don’t h...
