Chocolate Crumb Snack Cake

Recipe for a fudgy chocolate cake topped with a thick layer of cinnamon streusel.

Last weekend I was home, wanting a beautiful spring day but, instead, watching it snow outside. I was alternating between watching that giraffe cam and snuggling with my dog (my own personal petting zoo). Are you guys into the giraffe thing? I have no idea how I got sucked into waiting for a giraffe to give birth but now I'm involved so I'll wait it out until she has that baby and then go on with my life. But, in the interest of sanity, I decided to bake a cake.

Loaded Egg Salad Bagel with Honey Roasted Bacon

Recipe for an egg salad sandwich on a bagel, topped with bacon roasted with honey.

What's that expression about, if you're going to do something then do it right? Well, this is a breakfast sandwich done right. More of a weekend project for me but definitely a special Sunday morning treat. Maybe even an amazing brunch for two after a good long sleep.

Middle Eastern Potato Snack Platter

Recipe for a Middle Eastern inspired appetizer platter with za'atar roasted potatoes, hummus and tahini dips.

I'm impatient for spring to arrive. It always happens to me around this time of year. I feel like I've endured two months of freezing cold and snow and now I want cherry blossoms and warmth. Soon, I know, but not quite yet. So, while it's still cold and bleak, I'm catching up on my streaming movie watching and that requires snacks.

Recipe for black bean burgers flavored with coffee extract for a smoky flavor.

The other day I was looking through my refrigerator and cupboards and pulling out ingredients to make lunch. No particular plan. Just seeing what I have and what I could make with it. My own personal episode of Chopped?
