The Pescetarian and the Pig

Gingersnaps with Mango Chutney and Goat Cheese are the simplest, yet most satisfyingly flavorful little appetizers ever. And they’re pretty, to boot! I’m not sure about you, but the holidays get pretty hectic for me. I never want to go to any Christmas parties empty-handed, but I don’t exactly have all the time in the […]

Haunted Halloween Cookie House: Because cookie houses aren’t just for Christmas, anymore! I have way too much fun creating cookie houses for Christmas. So much fun that I typically do at least 3 or 4 houses and create a gingerbread house village to put on the top shelf of my book case. There’s just something […]

Caramel Maple Peanut Butter Bars. I’m way ahead of the Christmas season. My house has been decorated since the day after Halloween. I usually save my decorating for the day after Thanksgiving, but this year I needed the holiday cheer to come extra early. Luckily for me, I’m not the only one who started in […]

Well, it’s been months since I released the last episode of The Pescetarian and the Pig. I’ve been working on this one for a while with Director/Cinematographer/Editor Joe Chiazza of 5Ahead Films. This one, titled My Edible Feelings, is a melodramatic tale of depression, loneliness, and finding the solution to all of life’s unpleasantries in the […]

Double Chocolate BBQ Potato Chip Cookies. Did I do it? Oh, yes. Yes, I did. I saw a million different photos of potato chip chocolate chip cookies and I thought “You know, I really don’t like potato chips… But I DO like BBQ potato chips!” I also really like chocolate. Too much to only incorporate […]

Chocolate Raspberry Espresso Quinoa CookiesTake a little bit of quinoa, mix it with a little bit of cocoa, throw in some freeze-dried raspberries… Don’t forget to add some dark chocolate covered espresso beans, because quite honestly, your world can’t go on without them. Oh yeah, and don’t just use any old sugar. No no no! […]

Cinnamon Pecan PralinesI’m just not ready, you guys! I’m not ready for Christmas to be over. I’m totally one of those people who leaves the tree up and decorated until every last pine needle drops to the floor and the skeleton that’s left erupts spontaneously into a curtain of flames. And even after that, I’ll […]

Peppermint White Chocolate Macadamia CookiesHelllooooooo Delicious! So, funny little story, the idea for these babies was actually birthed while I was searching for Andes Peppermint Chips so I could make a whole bunch more of my Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies to give as gifts. Seems like those baking chips really caught on this year, because […]

Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies I am so unbelievably happy right now. The Christmas season puts me in the best mood ever! I’ve already Christmas-themed my website, put up all of my decorations (I’m getting a tree on Thursday! Wahoo!), and last night I watched Home Alone. Love! Yesterday I went to Bed Bath and Beyond […]

Nutella S’more Sandwich Cookies Should I be completely embarrassed that I am such a late boarder on the Nutella Express? A friend of mine used to talk constantly about how great Nutella was for breakfast on toast. And of course I’ve seen many a Nutella dessert photo. But it wasn’t until my sister came back […]
