Life Through My Eyes
“What’s for dinner?” A question many, if not all of us, face on a daily basis. For me, “What’s for dinner” has been so much more: it has represented my passion for cooking [for myself, my family, my friends, etc.] over the past few years by being the signature of my cooking/food. When I started …
As I went to create this post, I realized this is my 500th blog post on this blog: how incredible! And about something so neat too! This blog has been so great to me — I’ve used it to vent, reflect, share… and so much more! Some things are just better expressed written, don’t you think? Now …
Monkey Bread. Pull apart breads. Whatever you want to call it. It’s delicious. And that’s all that matters in the end. I’ve done a stuffed [pizza] monkey bread in the past, but today’s is more of a side dish. Or a snack. A fun twist on garlic bread. They are individual [or mini] monkey breads. You …

Three cheesecakes, three different bases so far. Each one, very different but oh so good. Click here and here for my other cheesecake recipes so far. For today’s …
Most people enjoy their croutons with salads. I like doing that just the same but… I love eating croutons with fish! Weird combination? Perhaps. But I just love what the warm tilapia does to the croutons. Kinda crunchy, but kinda moist. Just perfect. I’ve been wanting to experiment with making my own croutons for a …
So my chocolate chip cookie recipe that I used to make my Mini Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Cookie Cups a few days ago? I used that same recipe for another version [version two?] of “cookie cups” Saturday night. This time, I used a combination of milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and toffee bits! I think …
So earlier today, I was craving something sweet (this is happening way too often lately). For a long while, I couldn’t think of what I wanted… but finally I thought to make crepes! They were delicious! Today, I served it alongside ice cream, chocolate sauce and strawberries, In the past, I’ve done a combination of …
I’m still working on updating with recipes for things I’ve posted about in the past. These Garlic and Cheesy Breadsticks: I’ve made alongside my homemade pizza(s), as snacks, and as an appetizer for a super bowl party amongst other things. You need: Pizza dough, enough to cover a pizza pan (homemade or store-bought) [Olive] oil …
