Add some ice cream to your smores for a cool-hot “smores a la mode” dessert.

Energy Bites

July 28, 2014

Do you go to the gym in the morning? These last few weeks have been an “after-work” kind of gym experience. When I get up early enough to go before work or when I head over after work, I’m STARVING! I always pack an apple to eat on my way down to the gym. But halfway through my workout, my stomach is like, “Yo – where’s my food.” I suppress this…

Colleen’s Banana Bread

July 14, 2014

My sister made some delicious banana bread at Christmas last year, and again about a month ago. Last week, some of our bananas didn’t make it though the heat wave here in the city, so Fatima thought we should make some banana bread. So I called my sister and requested her recipe. Banana bread is a great way to use your bananas that may have browned too much. Rather than…

Berry Berry Frozen Blueberry Yogurt

June 5, 2013

When the weather gets hot, and yes it did – at least here in NYC. All I wanted to do was lay down on the cold floor of our apartment with the lights off and speak to no one. That didn’t happen – I actually went outside to try and enjoy the heat wave. Lots of sweating involved. Did I mention Fatima and I went to Burger King to take…

Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Hummus

April 16, 2013

One of my newly discovered snacks is hummus. I love roasted red pepper and garlic hummus, so I thought I would try to make my own. Off the bat – tahini (a popular middle eastern ingredient in hummus) is an expensive ingredient. Maybe $8 for 1lb of tahini is a “New York City” price for one of the “cheaper” grocers in our area, so let me know what else you…

Cupcake fever has set in. While making some yummy boozy cupcakes last week, we got to experimenting with other foods. Saw an idea on Pinterest I thought I would try out. I’m naming these “Omelette Cupcakes” because they are whipped eggs in a cupcake pan. THE PERFECT side to serve with brunch. Very easy to make, these omelete cupcakes take about 30 minutes to bake, so be sure to put these…

Cucumber Salmon

January 28, 2013

At half time, just before Beyonce performs, you walk into the living room with your new appetizer. The room, wanting more of your delicious food, turn their heads to you, their eyes following your every move. Hesitation sets in. What is it? Will it be good? Staring awkwardly at your creation, the room is silent. Your toughest critic, the 12 year old cousin who hates all food unless topped with ketcup, gets…
