Cake. How can one not love it? Essential to any gathering, cake indicates a time of celebration. There are so many shapes and forms a cake can take. Square, round, oval, rectangular…not to mention the plethora of decorative shapes a bundt pan brings. The cake world can be rustic and…

I used to eat avocado toast nearly every day. It’s filling but light enough to serve well as a breakfast, lunch, or snack. And, on a super busy night… dinner. You can dress it down or play it up in any way imaginable. The avocado truly is a neutral palate…

I may have a slight aversion to chicken breasts. Frankly, they’ve always come out dry, and I have failed to come close to mastering them. I know, I know- the breast is everyone’s favorite. Possibly it’s the lack of bone, possibly it’s the convenience of it all. Not much can…

The Breakdown: Ahh if it isn’t Fat Tuesday. The beginning of the Lent season, and a day us Poles love. The day we get to enjoy the pillowy, jam filled doughnuts that warm both our hearts and souls. In today’s atmosphere, we could certainly use a lot more of these. …

Ahh, the final finisher. This meal feels amazing as a 2-part shindig. It’s the French counterpart to the original. Leaner, swifter, and of course- smoking. The lobster, that is. This meal is sure to make your house smell as if you are in a New England lobster shack, but also…
