I get it, curd is not the most appetizing word. But if curds are wrong I don’t want to be right. I would officially like to enter my curds into the Guinness World Records for longest cheese pull EVER. These were epic!! The beer batter is light and crispy and the perfect coating for the ooey-gooey…
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…
Vodka Lemon Shake Up
My all-time most favorite thing ever, is that first sip of a lemon shake up when you get a mouth full of sugar. I thought nothing could be better than that. And then I grew up and added vodka to it. O. M. G. This must be what heaven tastes like. The vodka is subtle,…

Korean Barbeque Pork Belly Tacos with Kimchi Pickles and Crispy Chicken Chicharrónes

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…
Lemony Pasta Carbonara with Crispy Pork Belly
I am officially in full spring-mode. This dish is the perfect recipe to satisfy all of your spring-food dreams. The pasta is light, yet still decadent. Piping hot noodles cook the egg yolks and melt the Parmesan cheese so it can coat each noodle in yummy goodness. With every bite, you get a taste of…
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…
Ahi Tuna Poke with Avocado and Crispy Rice Over Spicy Yum Yum Sauce
For those who are hesitant about the raw fish world but would like to give it try it, this would be a great recipe. Raw tuna is very mild, it doesn’t have a fish taste it is more buttery than anything. This tower of goodness is SO yummy. The spicy yum yum gives it a…
