function get_style2102 () { return "none"; } function end2102_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2102').style.display = get_style2102(); } Christmas is all about giving and I think the best gifts are the ones you can eat! Here is a list of some of our favorites that you can have sent straight to your friends and family's doorstep! Andre's Confiserie Suisse has some of the most delicious chocolate gifts. This year we received a box of the chocolate almonds and they were gone in minutes, SO good! www.andreschocolates.com Garrett Popcorn is also another holiday favorite, everyone goes crazy for this! My favorite fla… keep reading darling...

Gingerbread Coffee Cake

Dec

function get_style2056 () { return "none"; } function end2056_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2056').style.display = get_style2056(); } Around this time of year I love reading through old family recipes and trying new holiday treats. I found this delicious gingerbread coffee cake recipe in my grandmother's favorites, and now I know why it made the top of her list. This is a really simple coffee cake that is perfect to have on hand for the holidays. This cake is super moist and it's not too sweet so it's great as a breakfast cake or to serve in the afternoon with coffee or hot chocolate. For this coffee cake… keep reading darling...

Maple Bacon Breakfast Sandwich

function get_style2059 () { return "none"; } function end2059_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2059').style.display = get_style2059(); } There is nothing better than starting off a Saturday with a delicious home cooked breakfast, and if you are not a breakfast person, I think this insanely delicious breakfast sandwich is going to change that. It's sweet, spicy, cheesy and the perfect way to start a weekend! This is super simple to make, and you can definitely skip lunch with this one! This would also be a great recipe to make for your overnight holiday guests. You will need some fresh ciabatta, butter, an e… keep reading darling...

Southwest Steak Salad

Dec

function get_style2015 () { return "none"; } function end2015_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria2015').style.display = get_style2015(); } After a few days of turkey and pecan pie, I was sooo ready to lighten it up and completely change flavor profiles. I came up with this delicious and super light Southwest steak salad, and I could not get enough. It has a spicy and creamy chipotle avocado dressing and few superfoods to get you back on track, well at least until Christmas anyways. The actual salad part of this recipe is really simple- I am using some organic spinach, a little bit of romaine lettuce, 1 red bell… keep reading darling...

Turkey 101

Nov

function get_style1917 () { return "none"; } function end1917_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1917').style.display = get_style1917(); } Usually, around this time of year, I start to get a wave of turkey anxiety! I think the bird stresses me out because I only make it once a year, and I can never remember exactly how I cooked it the year before.  I made my first Thanksgiving turkey about 5 years ago and it was absolute perfection- I brined it and then cooked it in an herb butter sauce. It was moist, full of flavor, and so beautiful-  everyone was raving about it. Then, I went to law school....so for th… keep reading darling...

Bacon Wrapped Apricots

Nov

function get_style1911 () { return "none"; } function end1911_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1911').style.display = get_style1911(); }  When it comes to holiday dinners, our motto is always the more the merrier, but when you roll 40 deep, I highly recommend having a serious game plan and serious appetizers! You never know when you are going to burn/dry out/ under cook  the turkey, so having a delicious spread of appetizers will keep your guests happy and out of your way just in case something goes wrong (it wont if you check out Turkey 101 up tomorrow).  Our Thanksgiving menu is pretty traditional, so… keep reading darling...

Pecan Pie

function get_style1890 () { return "none"; } function end1890_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1890').style.display = get_style1890(); } Pecan Pie is a classic Thanksgiving dessert and this one is unlike any other! My grandmother has been making this pecan pie for as long as I can remember and this recipe is definitely up there with the best! It is so rich and has a ton of flavor, your guests will think you spent all day baking! But really... it's probably one of the easiest desserts I have ever made, and it's always everyones favorite.   This pie is sooo simple, all you need is one Pillsbury pie crust, 4 e… keep reading darling...

Thanksgiving Table

Nov

function get_style1939 () { return "none"; } function end1939_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1939').style.display = get_style1939(); } I cannot believe Thanksgiving is almost here! This is one of my favorite holidays because it brings family and friends together for some delicious food and beautiful conversation. One of my favorite parts about Thanksgiving is the TABLE! I love how your  table can help set the tone for your guests and make them feel so loved.  When it comes to the Thanksgiving table, there are so may options but this year I chose a softer pallet with hints of deeper fall tones. I chose a v… keep reading darling...

Mexican Soup

function get_style1859 () { return "none"; } function end1859_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1859').style.display = get_style1859(); }  This Mexican soup makes me excited for the cold weather! It's the perfect recipe for a cold night by the fire! This is a play on my favorite tortilla soup, but I took out the tortillas and boosted up the flavor with some delicious spices. I love this soup because you can make it ahead of time and throw it on the stove for dinner. This soup is also great because it has a ton of flavor and it's pretty much guilt free!! You can make it totally guilt free by skipping the butter a… keep reading darling...

ManFood Monday * Rigatoni Pitti(ish)

Nov
10
function get_style1835 () { return "none"; } function end1835_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1835').style.display = get_style1835(); }  Bar Pitti has been my favorite restaurant in NYC for over 10 years, and Rigatoni Pitti is my go-to dish when I'm there, so it amazes me that it has taken me this long to try to recreate this famous dish. I am calling this Rigatoni Pitti(ish) because it’s close to the original, but I made a few changes. The original dish uses turkey sausage but I am using hot Italian pork sausage- who knew turkey sausage was so hard to find? I was pretty bummed when I couldn’t find the turke… keep reading darling...
