My family loves crepes, sweet or savory, even though we are more sweet tooth peeps. I try not to make them often simply because I cannot resist eating a few before they even end up on the table. I’m not joking.
We eat it with Nutella, jam, or maple syrup. Sometimes, I would mix crushed walnuts and sugar, or honey and use that as a spread. It makes a wonderful snack, breakfast, or even dessert. Read more…
Do you like Cold Brew? Are you buying it all the time? Well, I got to tell you that I stopped buying coffee altogether in the coffee shops unless I am meeting a friend.
I do not see a point at all when I can make coffee just the way I like it. Plus, I save a few bucks along the way.
I love a strong, dark roast coffee so sometimes I really cannot get that taste especially if I get it in the most popular cafes. Read More…

Easy and delicious Classic pancakes for breakfast, brunch or any time you crave them.
Warm, buttery and sweet smell flow through the air as hot pancakes are lifted from the pan. Butter is slowly sliding down the pancakes, leaving a light yellow trail behind it.
The coolness of the syrup and heat of the classic pancake complimented one another perfectly and simply served to bring out the subtle flavor of the pancake itself. Read more…

There are many ways to jazz up your bagel sandwich and I believe that this is one of them. I love pian and simple cream cheese bagel, just like my whole family.

Mini Meatless Frittatas are light and extremely. It is important to me that these mini frittata cups fill you up with nutrition, healthy fats, and proteins. Oh, also just to mention that it’s an easy, warm and comforting breakfast.
I added a few extra ingredients as I like my frittata bit richer. I am so glad that I did because these are so delicious. Read more…

Can you really start BBQ season without making some amazingly delicious, and finger licking Smoked St. Louis Style Ribs? I think not.
These ribs are so tasty we have been making them on repeat for our meal prep because they hold so good o the fridge so well for a week.
Although it is consistently really hard keeping these in the fridge for more than 3 days because when you have growing kids in the house, the fridge is pretty much empty all the time, even though I just went grocery shopping 10 minutes ago.
Welcome to a life with teenagers. They eat like babies, every two hours.
But… hey, the food is here to be shared and enjoyed so that what we all do. I love seeing everyone devouring my food. That makes my heart full and happy.
These ribs are extremely good. I am an enormous fan of grilled food, in particular, a longtime fan of outdoor cooking. I feel like the food always comes on point when it’s cooked on the grill.
Once the ribs have been seasoned, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least eight hours. When the ribs to rest in the dry seasonings the flavor has the time to fully penetrate the meat.
A smoker is the most common way to prepare ribs but almost any grill can be made into an indirect smoker and used for longer cooking times.
However, for a charcoal grill, simply build your fire to one side of the grill and cook on the other. Placing a small pan with water underneath your food will also help develop a bit of smokiness.
Ribs taste the best if they are cooked low and slow. Most meat will benefit from being wrapped in foil if you plan to cook for more than 2 hours.
Baby back ribs will take about four hours to cook while St. Louis cut ribs will cook in approximately five hours.
Can you really start BBQ season without making some amazingly delicious, and finger licking Smoked St. Louis Style Ribs? I think not.
These ribs are so tasty we have been making them on repeat for our meal prep because they hold so good o the fridge so well for a week.
MAKE AHEAD:
1. Combine well all the ingredients for the dry rub, then coat both sides of ribs with a good drizzle of oil and sprinkle with seasoning rub.
2. Place the ribs in the fridge overnight or refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Make sure to tear the membrane off the ribs before seasoning it.
Grill and Smoke:
1. When ready to cook, set temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Smoke the ribs, meat-side up for 2 hours.
2. Remove from the smoker and tightly wrap the ribs with the foil.
3. Return the foiled ribs to the grill and cook for two more hours at an increased temperature to 250℉. After two hours carefully remove the foil. Watch for the steam.
4. Brush the ribs well on both sides with BBQ sauce. Arrange the ribs directly on the grill grate and continue to grill until the sauce tightens 40 minutes. You can add BBQ sauce the last minute if you prefer, but we love the caramelization. It's all about your personal preference.
Rest:
Allow the ribs to rest for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
Cooking times will vary depending on the temperature that you set and the environment.
You may use other cuts of ribs, but the smoking or grilling time will vary.

Bagel Holiday Party Charcuterie Board charcuterie board most frequently consists of a variety of meats, dry, smoked or canned fish, gourmet cheeses, condiments, pickled products and often fruit or nuts.
It is exceptionally effortless to prepare a charcuterie, and you can truly use whatever your heart desires.
However, charcuterie boards are an art form that involves much more mindful planning than just tossing divergent cheeses and crackers on a plate and serving it to guests.
I partnered with Reese Specialty Foods to show you how you can make your own holiday party charcuterie board more superior by using their incredibly tasty products.
The board should look full, so don’t be afraid to stack loads of your favorite foods. It was an absolute blast constructing this Bagel Holiday Party Charcuterie Board.
My family went insane over it. My husband and I, in particular, love the taste of Reese Marinated Artichoke Hearts paired perfectly with some Reese Sardines. It is utterly scrumptious and so flavorful!
I know those two products are for sure going in rotation as my top pick snack during this winter. I will share even more thoughts and ideas on my Instagram.
If I am hosting a party, plan a movie night, or watch a big weekend game, I make a list of things that I would like to include on my board.
If you make this delectable meal for yourself on a Friday night, you can incorporate Anchovies, Delicate Artichokes Hearts, cheese, luscious grapes along with some gourmet crackers.
However, for a party, a wider array of arrangements would be required to feed and completely satisfy an eager crowd.
This time around, I used Marinated hearts of palm, Marinated Artichoke, and their most mouthwatering and succulent Sardines.
The holiday season should be enjoyed, and less stressful, so create something dainty and versatile.
One thing is certain, I passionately love Reese Specialty Foods. Their innovative products are Non-GMO Project Verified.
Visit the Reese Holiday website and of course. You may try their products on your holiday dishes.
I know that you guys going to love it. I am making my artichoke dip for my son’s holiday party using Reeses Marinated Artichoke tender and delicious hearts.
Last, but not least, I would like to take a moment to thank and appreciate the ones I love the most.
My lovely family helps me tremendously, especially around the holidays. For that, I count my blessings every single day as well as for the life I live.
I am forever fortunate to have the ability to share this one life with the most down to earth people that exist
Perhaps it’s just the holiday season, and we all feel a bit sentimental during these months. With that being said, I greatly wish that everyone uses these delightful foods not only to fulfill your cravings but for the good of others.
Try picking up a few of these outstanding Reese products from your local store and donate to those in need.
There is no greater gift in life than properly teaching your kids to willingly share food with less fortunate.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
