Making a Store Bought Dessert Into a Fancy Dessert
We've all seen the cases filled with sad fruit tarts, stale cupcakes and cakes that are a bit past their prime. I decided to give a classic custard fruit tart a face lift and turn it into the boujee french dessert called mille-feuille (pronounced meal foyyy, for all of the non-French speakers like myself). It's got beautiful layers of crisp, buttery cookie, soft and creamy vanilla mousse and a bright, tart berry coulis!
Death by Chocolate Tart
It’s February 11th which means Valentine’s Weekend is here and love is in the air! Or maybe you’re…
Romantic Valentine’s Day Meal for Under $20
s the name of the game. HOWEVER—single or not, I'm still going to make myself an amazing meal, regardless of my relationship status. This year I challenged myself to make a fancy meal for under $20, and with a few easy tricks, you'll have an expensive looking meal that doesn't break the bank!
Eggs Benedict
Today Food with Friends does brunch! I invited my friend Aria over to show me one of the classic menu items—Eggs Benedict. After she walks me through her best version, I show her my own!
French Onion Mac and Cheese
The recipe begins the exact same way as French onion soup does, with a big pile of onions that reduces down into golden, caramelized goodness. Cooking the onions the right way takes time but it’s worth the wait! After that, you make a pretty standard mac and cheese sauce, or mornay, using provolone and gruyere, and then I add Dijon mustard and fresh thyme.
Food with Friends: Chicken and Waffles
—chicken and waffles! Let me tell you his version of it was just as interesting as you could have guessed. Check out my recipe down below!
Vegetable Pot Pie
This is an entire meal in one dish! You get veggies, gravy, and carbs in every delicious bite. The filling is jam packed with flavor, from classic carrot, celery, onion, and peas, to the less traditional wild mushrooms and potatoes.
Making Every Condiment From Scratch
Each dip is ideal for a French fry, chicken tender, and/or any other finger food that exists.
Food with Friends: Vegetarian French Onion Soup
Lital is BACK! I've challenged her to make me her best French onion soup, then we swap spots and I make her mine.
Pear and Brie Tart
In my opinion, puff pastry makes anything fancy, and it’s easy to find a good quality one in the freezer section of almost any grocery store. Throw in a couple more store bought ingredients, like jam and a wheel of brie, and really the hardest part of this recipe is very thinly slicing your pears.
