I’m like Liz Lemon from 30 Rock when it comes to sandwiches. Especially astoundingly delicious sandwiches that have melted cheese, and cheesy pesto, and tomatoes. It’s a like a bit of an oasis. “All humankind has one thing in common: the sandwich. I believe that all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich.” Tina Fey/Liz Lemon You know that’s right. And I also have a real hard time [...]
Starbucks Cranberry Scones
When it comes to scones, I love mine chock-a-block with cranberries, and tangy from buttermilk. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt to have a kiss of organic maple syrup and vanilla to round out the warm, fresh from the oven, sweet treats. These cranberry scones are meant to be a good homemade alternative to Starbucks - to be honest, I think they're better. (Especially given that you can eat them fresh and warm straight from the [...]
Coconut Cranberry and Sumac Buns
These sweet and lightly savory buns are the perfect accompaniment for coffee, and to be honest, they’d be insanely delightful for afternoon tea too! The combination of rich coconut, tangy dried cranberries and sumac is the perfect trio of ingredients. And, if you’ve never played with sumac before, you’re going to fall immediately in love with it. It’s the color of chili powder, but it’s loaded with bright lemony flavor. [...]
Starbucks Matcha Pineapple Drink (Copycat Recipe)
Don’t just reach for a cup of coffee; if you really want to get some pizazz in your feet, grab this matcha drink. It’s sweet. It’s tropical. It’s both decadent and healthy in the same sip. You can’t say that about a lot of things. Or, at least I can’t. If you’ve never had matcha tea, you really will be stunned at how strikingly vibrant that the color is. It’s nearly a color that you wouldn’t expect to find in [...]
Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
If there’s anything more delicious than chocolate, coconuts, almond and vanilla together – well – I’d be hard pressed to think what those elusive ingredient pairings could be! And when you combine them all inside an ooey gooey cookie that makes the kitchen smell incredible, well, we’d have to describe that as a pretty wonderful experience. “Come in. Would you like to sit down to a cup of coffee and a coconut oil [...]
Veggie Loaded Coconut Crabcakes
When I think of anything involving a protein, I spend a ridiculous amount of time thinking, “How can I marry equal parts veggies to the meat?” It’s not for some overriding health benefit (although there is that), it’s just that I’m a nut for vegetables. My spaghetti Bolognese is always brimming with extra carrots and celery with enough of a hint of meat to let you experience some beefy pleasure. My chicken noodle soup [...]
