So when I had the epiphany to make these, I thought they would be good. Upon actually making them, their deliciousness far surpassed all of my expectations. Because they were cooked individually, there was more surface area per pancake for golden brown yummy goodness. Perfect, buttery, crispy brown edges line the circumference of each pancake. …

Challah French Toast Topped with Bourbon Brown Sugar Caramel Apple Sauce
Holy french toast. Honestly, forget the french toast, I want to take a bath in this caramel. It is so flipping good. The brown sugar gives it a deeper flavor than your average caramel. Even though the apples are added right at the end to finish it off, there is a delicious apple flavor that…
Green Bean Casserole with Homemade Shiitake Gravy and Crispy Fried Shallots
For me, nothing says thanksgiving like a big ol’ green bean casserole. There is just something so comforting about it. Even young Maya that didn’t like mushrooms LOVED green bean casserole. It felt kind of wrong to not crack open a can of thick Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup and plop it over some green…
Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Bread Stuffing
STUFFING. Why do we eat this delicious goodness only once a year?! I decided to get freaky with this… it didn’t make sense to me why you would use just plain old white bread when there are so many other amazing breads out there. The roasted garlic and rosemary bread add such amazing flavor. Those…
Deep Fried Red Velvet Oreos
Fun fact: I always thought red velvet was just chocolate cake with red food coloring. Boy oh boy was I wrong. I also had never had a fried Oreo until I made them. Yes, I do live under a rock. But these are freaking amazing. The chocolate cookie gets super soft and cake like and…

Korean Barbeque Pork Belly Tacos with Kimchi Pickles and Crispy Chicken Chicharrónes
I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this. Kinda, sorta, speechless. First of all, tacos are the greatest things that man has ever created, don’t @ me. This is the epitome of culinary fusion. The rich buttery pork belly gets slow cooked after swimming in a sweet and spicy marinade all night. Then…
Buttery Lobster Eggs Benedict with Crispy Pancetta and Fresh Arugula
If I were asked to imagine the most perfect brunch, this would be it (plus a beautiful man that fed it to me as I laid in a comfy robe on a comfier bed). The lobster is perfectly cooked, tender and buttery. The hollandaise is rich and lemony and the fresh arugula helps cut through…
Fried Chicken Biscuit Sliders with Spicy Honey Butter
Nas said it best, “Mmm, Fried chicken, fly vixen, give me heart disease but need you in my kitchen”. Piping hot fried chicken takes a swim in sweet and spicy buttery goodness then gets placed in between a flaky biscuit and topped with bread and butter pickles, can you taste it? This is the bomb…
