  • BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE

    BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE

    As you are more than aware from my posts on this website, I love cheesecake. My inspiration for this one came from growing up in Greece and my mom making deliciously crispy baklava. The addition of pomegranate seeds add a burst of refreshing tartness to the sweet baklava. Try yours today! Prep Time: 30 Minutes…

    TOASTED BLACK SESAME CRÈME BRULEE

    Crème Brulee is one of those desserts that takes time and a bit patience to make, but when it is done, the end result is a delicious, creamy goodness. My favorite part is cracking the sugar “glass” with my spoon before eating. For this dessert I was inspired by one of my favorite ramen restaurants…

    NACHOS

    Got any leftover chili or some cans of beans laying around? Then make this delicious, but messy, tray of nachos. Very simple to make and can be done in minutes. Nachos are not just for an appetiter or for parties; they can be a full-on meal. This recipe is very decadent and can be shared…

    CHEESESTEAKS

    Back when I used to work at an Italian Pizza and Sub shop, I could attest majority of my weight gain to the cheesesteaks and not the pizza. Something about the melted cheese and salty steak combined with the crunchy bread was more enticing to me than the pizzas. While the cheesesteaks at my old…

    CRUNCHWRAP

    I am not big on eating fast food, but when I did, I loved eating Crunchwrap Supremes. During my tenure working in a Tex-Mex restaurant, I would recreate the famed Taco Bell meal for myself and my coworkers and would use any filling I wanted, with my favorite being chorizo. Below is my recipe for…

    STEAMED MUSSELS IN A GARLICky WHITE WINE BROTH

    Much like wings, I can eat mussels continuously and not stop eating them. There is something about their taste and texture, that combined with a nice broth makes my mouth sing. For this recipe I used some fresh mussels that I saw at my local grocery store and I cooked them in a very flavorful,…

    COFFEE AND CHILI CRUSTED LAMB CHOPS

    I have been curious about using coffee as a crust for a while now and, while I normally enjoy drinking it, I was unsure how it would come out cooking with it. I opted to use it in a spicy mixture, so I decided to turn up the heat. The result was incredible, the coffee…

    CHICKEN AND CHICKPEA CURRY

    As the weather gets colder, I focus on heartier, spicier food. For this recipe, I was craving to make a curry and, because I was hungry, wanted something that would make me full. I decided to use chicken and chickpeas, incorporating both Indian spices and Thai heat in making this curry. The result was a…

    PRIME RIB ROAST

    During the holiday season, Prime Rib is a must in my household. It is a juicy, tender, and righteously fatty cut of meat. It may seem intimidating cooking Prime Rib but, to the contrary, it is quite simple. My recipe below simplifies it for a way anyone can make it, and it includes a nice…
