I am a lover of all things seafood. Recently I have been turned onto trying branzino. I had never had it before and to be honest I am quite upset I have never tried it before. This fish is so delicious, skin and all. This mediterranean branzino recipe comes together quickly and oh so deliciously. I bought the branzinos at Whole Foods and had the butcher clean and cut it for me. I hope you enjoy this nutritious and delicious meal soon. Mediterranean Branzino Ingredients Extra virgin olive oil, I recommend our Early Harvest Greek EVOO for this recipe. 1 pound whole bra ..read more

I have never been a fan of cheesecake until now. I just don’t know what it’s been if it’s age, not being a fan of traditional cheesecakes, but this burnt basque cheesecake is the simplest dessert I have ever made and it is so delicious. As opposed to traditional cheesecakes, this burnt basque cheesecake is slightly gooey in its center and the top is supposed to look burnt, just as pictured. If you need to entertain or bring a dessert to your next potluck, then this is the exact dessert you need to make and bring! Enjoy!

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Cuban yuca growing up. I know. That sounds purely insane so crucify me if you must. As I have aged I have developed the palate and appreciation for yuca. What makes Cuban Yuca perfect is no doubt the mojo mix. This one is almost impossible to mess up and the more garlic, the better of course. Serve with rice, black beans, pork, and tostones and enjoy! Cuban Yuca Ingredients 3 lbs. Yuca 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced 10 cloves garlic, minced 3/4 cup Sour Orange 1 cup olive oil Prepare First, boil the yuca in a large pot for about 20 minutes or until tender enough ..read more

I have been exploring different cocktails hard now for the last few months to stay away from my usual rum and cokes. I absolutely love Limoncello and was turned onto it when I lived in New York in 2008 with an Italian family. This Limoncello spritz takes this already delicious and lemony drink to a whole other refreshing level. It is sure to be a crowd pleaser when entertaining alongside some appetizers before your main course. Cheers my friends and enjoy this limoncello spritz! Limoncello Sprtiz Ingredients 2 oz. Limoncello (I used Il Tramonto) 4 oz. Proseco 2 oz. Club Soda Fresh Lemon Whee ..read more

We have a most incredible Sushi restaurant close by to us, make that two now. Sushi Jo is where Jose and I went to on our first date back in 2009. Their sushi has always been superior to all others in town. My favorite sushi rolls of theirs is their Dynamite Scallop Roll. The rolls come topped with scallops smothered in a sauce similar to this recipe. I came to find this Dynamite Salmon on Crispy Rice Paper recipe on Instagram and knew right away I had to make it. It’s super easy to make and makes for a perfect weeknight dinner. Dynamite Salmon on Crispy Rice Paper Ingredients 1 package ..read more

I love charcuteries. I’ve loved them my whole life, long before the term and trend became known here in the United States. My dad was always known to have a block of cheese and some sort of deli meat out on the kitchen counter and we’d snack on it midday. This summertime charcuterie is an ode to my dad and those times in the kitchen, snacking and chatting about our day. Make it as an appetizer for a party or it enjoy it for yourself.

I have been a fan of scones since being introduced to them back in 2005 when I worked part time at Starbucks. I have made a few kinds of flavored scones in the past, but this is the first time that I try our King Arthur’s recipe with their products. This is a refreshing scone flavor that I would highly recommend in the summer. You could even pair it with a lemony tea in the morning. I recently made these for breakfast prep this past weekend to enjoy and save time in the morning. Lemon Scones Ingredients 2 Cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/3 cup granulated suga ..read more
