Simple Vegetable Pot Pie

This was my first time making a pot pie, so be gentle. The filling was way more than I thought it would be so I ended up with two pies’ worth (and only one pie crust). I was having a bit of a nervous breakdown because it was overflowing, the pie crust wasn’t sealing, and…

Honey, Walnut and Oat Cookies

Initially for this post, I was going to make apple cider cookies. Sounds good, right? I did a quick Google search to see if others had done it (link titles told me they did) and like the lazy cook I am, I thought “Good enough!” and bought everything. Funny thing is, I didn’t read any…

Basic Bread Crust Croutons

Have leftover crusts from another recipe? Turn them into a crunchy garnish in less than 20 minutes. I made these croutons with the intention of using them as a topping for soups and salads but ended up eating them as a snack instead…and they went fast. The great thing about this recipe is that you…

Sriracha Baked Eggs in Muffin Tins

Baked eggs are a lazy chef’s dream. Seriously low-maintenance, minimal prep time, and easy to re-heat as leftovers. The scrambled egg cups are really simple and puff up, resulting in a soufflé-looking dish. The salami cups are still very easy, but the egg does pour a little bit past the “deli” slice, so just be…

Easy Vegetable Frittata with Shredded Tofu

I have never had a successful time with cast iron skillets and eggs. No matter how much oil or butter I put down, the eggs still always stuck and fell apart. This time, I found the perfect method. The trick is to heat the pan in advance so that it’s really hot before you coat…

Glazed Baked Bourgogne with Walnuts

If you’re a fan of cheese, you’re a friend of mine. Bourgogne is a french cheese similar to brie, but more potent in taste—especially when melted. The texture is basically the same as brie (soft, runny when warmed up, gooey) but there’s a bit of a blue-cheesy type taste as well. My mom once glazed…

Baked Garlic Potato Wedges

Potatoes, cut into wedges, soaked in garlic oil, sprinkled with spices and baked. Simple as that. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, these bite-sized potato wedges are a great finger food. They can be served with basically any dip you want, and they can be easily reheated. They’re also super cheap and…

Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Panko

Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. And even though the packaged stuff is good once in a while, it loses its charm pretty quickly. Why is the powder so orange, and why do the noodles get gross after 10 minutes? Unanswered questions. This mac and cheese still serves as a great comfort food,…

Rosemary and Sea Salt Baked Beet Chips

It’s been raining a lot where I live lately, and I happen to also be studying for exams, so the mix of those two things means eating lots of junky food. Snacking is inevitable. With this in mind, I figured I should probably make a healthier munchie so I’m not eating garbage all the time….

Baked Bloomin’ Onion

There are some foods that are nostalgic. People either associate them with a specific person from their child, or maybe an occasion that sticks in their memory. For me, the Bloomin’ Onion is one of those foods. I took a trip to Florida with my family when I was younger, and we went to the…
