Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
While on this trip we had a lot of good food. We didn’t eat a ton of Dutch food (besides stroopwafels and those are delicious) but we did eat food from a lot of other cultures. I don’t think we had anything bad. It is too much to list everything but here is a sampling.
A dirty chai is typically a chai tea latte with a shot of espresso. I let that drink inspire this dessert. I love the King Arthur Baking Espresso Meringue recipe; I’ve made it several times and these are always delicious. I used that recipe as this base for this updated version. For Christmas I was
It has been a while since I have done a Foodie Friday post. One thing I think all of us forget is the places that are localish to us aren’t for others. In addition it is always good to remember that there are wonderful things in our own backyards. We don’t have to spend a

This is not my recipe but it is delicious and I wanted to share it. I tried making this olive oil cake from Food52. This cake is easy to make and super moist. For this version I switched out the whole milk for oat milk because it is what I had available and no one
