S’mores Banana Pudding with Alternatives

Posted on July 10, 2018 by Nicole

It’s summer time! The time of the year for s’mores, parties, and good times with family and friends. If you love s’mores and you love banana pudding, then this is the perfect recipe for you. This recipe is also good for anytime of the year when you want some s’mores mixed with some pudding. A mix of chocolate, banana pudding, graham crackers, and marshmallows all combined as one. It doesn’t get any better than that. It’s s’mores you can eat with a spoon!
This recipe is not allergy-friendly and is definitely one I can’t eat without substituting some ingredients, so I …

 

Dairy-Free Chocolate Pudding

Posted on June 21, 2018 by Nicole

Need a dessert that is light and creamy, yet dairy-free to satisfy your chocolate cravings? How about a cup of dairy-free chocolate pudding? A delicious milky dessert with the right amount of chocolate flavor. In the states, we love chocolate pudding and what’s glorious about chocolate pudding is that you can change it up by adding anything to it for a fun dessert. You can add cookie crumbs such as Oreos crumbs, a couple of marshmallows, a handful of candy, and even some fruit. If you don’t want just plain old chocolate pudding, add some of your favorite snacks to …

 

Pop-up Restaurant: The Spotted Tiger

Posted on September 6, 2013 by Jamie

 
I’m a fan of pop-up restaurants, ever since I tried Whisk in Boston – see my post here. The pop-up concept is all about different settings, very passionate young chefs, and a unique theme. On Labor Day, my foodie friends and I were very excited about dining at the newest pop-up in Boston, The Spotted Tiger. The location? The swanky Hawthorne bar in Kenmore Square. The Chefs? Tracy Chang of Guchi’s Midnight Ramen pop-up, Ran Duan of Sichuan Garden in Woburn, and Becca Arnold of Tavern Road in Boston. The theme? Chinese cuisine and handcrafted cocktails. By the way, The Hawthorne won …

 

French macarons

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Jamie

 
French macarons have been on my baking bucket list for a while now – ever since I tasted it for the first time in 2009 from MacarOn Café in New York City. A macaron (not to be confused with a macaroon with 2 o’s) is a delicate French cookie sandwich, whose main ingredients are egg whites, sugars, and almond powder/flour. It has an eggshell-like texture and chewy consistency. This trendy dessert comes in a variety of colors, flavors, and fillings (i.e. ganache, buttercream, fruit jams).
 
I have visited several famous macaron bakeries, including Ladurée, Bouchon, La Maison du Chocolat, Miette, and Nadège Patisserie. Unfortunately, good ones are …

 

Centennial Celebrations

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Jamie

2012 is definitely a special year for those that are celebrating centennials. Two of my favorite treats turned 100 this year: the Oreo cookie and Girl Scout Cookies! Meanwhile, both the Titantic and our beloved Fenway Park in Boston will also be celebrating their 100th anniversary this month. Today’s blog post will feature the food aspect, of course.
 

Oreo is one of my favorite cookies. I like to eat them plain, with milk, in confections (like cupcakes, cheesecakes, pies, ice cream, etc.), home made from scratch, and even the cereal kind (anyone remember Oreo O’s?). A few months ago, I discovered how to make Oreo truffles, which …

 

Simmer Down

Posted on March 29, 2012 by Alanna

Cooking is fun and rewarding, but at times it can also feel overwhelming. Between chopping, peeling, sautéing and stirring I often feel like I need four more hands to get everything right. A pot of simmering sauce left alone a moment too long can be scorched to ruin before we even realize.
And what about those sauces, soups and stews that need your constant attention for multiple hours on end? I for one would rather not stand in front of the stove, spoon in hand, for half the day and stir without rest. But, if it’s all for a fabulous outcome, …

 

Petite Profiteroles Au Nutella

Posted on August 19, 2010 by Carol

While visiting a friend in Fairfield, CT we enjoyed a Sunday brunch at Café Lola. Café Lola is a cozy bohemian inspired restaurant that seduces their customers with French Comfort food. For brunch, I enjoyed traditional French Toast with mix berries. But my friend was more adventures and opted for the Henri’s Mom’s French Toast. This is French toast cooked in bacon fat, topped with a fried egg and bacon. The menu notes “please approach with caution, as it is highly addictive” and according to my friend it was.
