SRIRACHA DEVILED EGGS WITH CRISPY SERRANO HAM

SRIRACHA DEVILED EGGS WITH CRISPY SERRANO HAM

Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that never gets old. Especially when there are so many variations to try. I wanted these eggs to be spicy, mixing sriracha with the yolks gives it a nice bite. And with an extra hit of heat from a 

EASTER PIE

EASTER PIE

For Easter, I was responsible for bringing dessert. I wanted to make something that felt like an Easter dessert without it being overly sweet. The result was phyllo pastry layered with orange scented ricotta, honey, rum soaked raisins, almonds, and soaked in a honey vanilla 

MANGO BASIL MIMOSA

MANGO BASIL MIMOSA

I will never be the girl sitting at a bar sipping bourbon while scoping out the scene. I’m the girl day drinking on the patio with the fruitiest cocktail on the menu. Now that I have had so many cocktails, I have taken my inspirations 

FIGS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

FIGS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Not everything has to be made from scratch. Especially if you are not someone who enjoys baking. There are a lot of great products on the market that you can doctor-up and create something unique and delicious. My favourite is the Ghirardelli brownie mix. They 

S’MORES ICE CREAM BAR

S’MORES ICE CREAM BAR

This is one of those OMG! desserts. You can’t believe how good it is. A graham cracker crust, with chocolate fudge which is basically the fudgey part of the dairy queen cakes (double score on figuring that out), toasted marshmallow ice cream, and then brûlléed
