Whipped Feta Pistachio Dip
Galentines weekend in NYC was so good for my heart and soul and belly. One of our favorite restaurants was Shuka, an amazing Mediterranean restaurant and this dip was everything. Try it. It’s sooooo good. 1/4 cup olive oil 4 oz shelled pistachio nuts 11 oz feta 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped 1/4 cup dill…

Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip
I had the Good Egg version of this and it was soooo good. I accidentally recycled the carton before I could take a pic. So, I searched the internet and came up with this. It’s definitely not the same. But it is still really good. Roasted Red Pepper Walnut Dip 2 red bell peppers 1…

Elote – Kinda
We had an amazing fiesta last weekend with the best company! Since Spanish Town was catering tacos, I wanted to add some of our favorites from Mexico City. Of course, elote had to be offered. This is so good and so bad for you but delicious and addictive. I put them in these small bites…

Super Bowl Apps
I KNOW! Super Bowl happened in February. But I made these super delicious apps and totally forgot to post AND take a picture. I was craving these and realized that I never captured the success here. Ugh! Well, as soon as I make them again (likely Fathers Day), I’ll add the pics Buffalo Chicken Sliders…

Tyrosalata
There once was a restaurant we all loved and then it closed. For years we reminisced about their feta dip. Then, Covid hit and they started up a takeout biz outta their home. Tyrosalata was back and it’s damn good. They didn’t have any this week. So, I went ahead and tried my hand at…

Blistered Shishito Peppers
I love the roulette experience of eating these. You never know when you might get a spicy one. These are such an easy appetizer that can be done in less than 10 mins. Heat a cast iron skillet on med/high until water drops sizzle and evaporated quickly. Toss peppers with oil to just coat. In…

Shanghai Lumpia
I went to make Lola Momma’s lumpia recipe and did a quick search to find the ingredients. What? Nothing found. How have I never put the recipe in here? Welp, I winged it because she was asleep since she’s in the PI and we’re in the US and it was a midday project. Everyone says…

Super Bowl Wings
I’ve heard about smothering mayo on poultry before baking it but have never tried it – UNTIL TODAY! So. So. So. Good. Heat oven to 400. Wrap a cookie sheet in foil. Place ovenproof rack on top. Mix mayonnaise with spices. Smother wings with sauce. Then place on the rack Cook for 45 mins. Increase…

Spring In A Bite
Spring is just around the corner and these are a perfect first bite of the season. I made them for a party and they held up perfectly. The stored ones for lunch got a little dry. I’d recommend making them fresh or try wrapping them with a damp towel if you’re storing them for tomorrow’s…
