Cinco de Mayo is always the perfect time to make a delicious bite-sized appetizer. And why not make a freaking adorable Cinco de Mayo appetizer, while you’re at it? This easy app is made with chicken, but can easily be switched out with pork, steak, fish, tofu… really anything that goes well on a taco will go well here. Think Chipotle. Got it? Good. I can guarantee this will impress everyone’s sense of sight and taste. They are pretty amazing. Oh and PS – yes you can make these any time of the year! Who doesn’t like Mexican food? And who doesn’t like Mexican food that comes in bite sized crunchy cups? The answer is no one! So let’s get started.

French Onion Soup ~ Julia Child Inspired!

Who doesn’t love some Julia Child?! As she provides the best basic instruction for French food – I figured that would be the best base for a French Onion Soup Recipe. And boy, was I right! I have honestly been wanting to make French Onion Soup for years and I’m so glad I finally got to create this masterpiece of soup! The best French Onion Soup I’ve ever had was at my favorite restaurant in the entire world – Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal. I’m not sure my onion soup will ever measure up to the soup at APC, but I can only try! Here is my recipe for French Onion Soup:

Brr! Winter Themed Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing

winter sugar cookies with royal icingSo I have to be honest with my Honey Bee’s – I made these cookies for Christmas. But hey! Snowmen and other winter themed cookies are great all through the snowy season (and all through the year!). Feel free to switch out the winter theme to any other cookie cutter if you want to pretend it’s summer. Think palm trees and smiling suns wearing some sweet shades. Luckily for me, I’m writing this from South Florida but I’m thinking of all of you snow angels up there in the North!

Bacon, Mushroom & Spinach Quiche – Brunch Please!

bacon breakfast quiche recipeI am a firm believer that one of the best aspects of a weekend is brunch. Give me a mimosa and something containing a combination of eggs, cheese, and bacon and I will be one happy clam. Funny side story, when my boss asked me what a quiche was, I had nothing better to say than an “egg pie”. This was obviously a strange way of explaining a quiche and honestly doesn’t sound very appetizing. But quiche is actually really amazing and for anyone who has never had quiche, these are my words of wisdom to you: you combine eggs, cream, and any mixture of meat, veggies, and cheese that you so choose and bake it. See, that sounds a little more appetizing, right?!
