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

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

Cinnamon Swirl Biscuit W/ a Buttery Maple Glaze..... and Bacon!

I love biscuits, and I love cinnamon rolls. So I decided to combine the two. This method is a whole helluva lot faster, and I’m a glutton for deliciousness! These are insane. I’m not even kidding. One bite, and everything wrong in your world will just suddenly be right. You won’t even care that your boyfriend forgot your name, or that your wife accidentally spilled nail polish remove all over your brand new iPad. Well…that might be a stretch, but you’ll at least forgive her a little faster if she makes these for you  I wish I could describe how delicious these were, but you’ll just have to make them for yourselves and see what the fuss is all about. The biscuits themselves are super tender, soft, buttery and delicious. Then there’s the maple glaze that compliments it perfectly, topped off with crunchy, tiny little pieces of salty smokey bacon. Man, listen…if you make these for someone special, they’ll never leave your life. I created this recipe not really knowing how it’d turn

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
