Happy October!! I can’t believe it’s here already but, as the crisp cool air of Fall starts to move in, I get more and more excited for sweater weather! Something about smelling burning leaves and huddling around a fire gets me every time. Anyways, on to today’s recipe! I don’t know about you, but by…
Citrus Roasted Chicken with Tuscan Kale Soup
As I was thinking of ideas for today’s post, I realized something. Up until today, I haven’t shared any recipes with meat in them! Now, while I respect the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, I do in fact eat meat and wanted to share one of my favorite ways to prepare it. Growing up, we always…
Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding with Chocolate Coconut Cream
Ah Mondays, they get me everytime. To help us all get through, here is a fantastic way to start your day. With dessert… for breakfast. Now, I should explain, this isn’t your average parfait. In fact it’s much, MUCH better. This is a vanilla infused chia-seed pudding, layered with a creamy chocolate coconut cream and sprinkled…
Dumplings and Spring Rolls
Today’s post is all about overcoming your fears. That statement may be a little melodramatic, but hear me out. I don’t know about you but, for me anyway, there have always been aspects of cooking/baking that have intimidated me. Things like: making a pie crust from scratch (which I totally overcame in this post), French macarons,…
Power Breakfast Bowl
After yesterday’s sugar-filled post, I decided to give our sweet teeth a break with this nutrient-packed breakfast bowl (it all works out in the end, right?). And it’s a breakfast that is DEFINITELY worth waking up for. I mean, check out that fruit! And that’s not even the best part. To make this breakfast extra satisfying I made TWO different types of…
Doughnut Bites with Orange Glaze
Good morning guys! Before we get into today’s recipe (which is incredible) I am so excited to announce the start of a new weekly series on The Blonde Chef called “A Sweet A Week” that will last through the holiday season. I know that this time of year calls for a lot of baking which, can…
Grilled Veggie Panini with Basil and Provolone
On the heels of my Pineapple Dole Whip Float post from last week, I decided to try my hand at another Disney spin-off. This time, with a slightly healthier meal. I had this Veggie Panini on our very first day in Disney World and it was amazing! Being slightly health conscious, I am used…
Couscous Stuffed Mushrooms
How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was wonderful! Especially, because the weather here in DC was unbelievable good! Everyday was in the mid-seventies with clear, sunny skies so Stephen and I went out Friday night for frozen custard (I got vanilla concrete with raspberries mixed-in) and sat outside on a park bench and soaked it all in. With this…
Indulgent French Toast
Today’s post is all about breakfast, French toast to be exact, and this one’s a keeper. It’s made just the way you’ve probably always made French toast, except for a few changes that make THIS recipe extra special. To start off, I used a fresh loaf of French bread with a really good crust. The…
Pineapple Dole Whip Float
This past weekend, Stephen (my husband) and I went to Disney World for a 4 day vacation with our friends. We had SO much fun! Between the rides, the company, and the food it was hard not to be a little sad coming home to DC. So to hang onto our little weekend vaca, I…
