Holy smokes – 2015 is almost over! I can’t believe it’s time for my annual “best of the year” post. 2015 has been a crazy year – we moved across the country, I started a new job, many wedding to-do’s were completed, and, of course, we ate lots and lots of food. Here are the posts you loved most in 2015!
The best “brunchitizer” – a fresh-baked chocolate croissant from my favorite Berkeley brunch place, La Note!
Hey guys! How’s your week going? It’s been great summer weather here and I have been lo-ving it. We finished our (wonderful!) marathon of trips and visitors that has been the past month and a half and have been enjoying some quieter times and more cooking at home – the biggest perk of a quiet weekend, in my humble opinion! I’m loving getting back in the kitchen in a big way, especially with all the inspiring summer food out there on the internet. Here are this week’s super-summer-lovin’ Foodie Favorites!
I absolutely love the idea of jazzing up store-bought ice cream with these fancy dipped cones. “Semi-homemade” is always the best approach to entertaining in my opinion!
These avocado and ahi poke parfaits look so wonderful and refreshing. Although I’m not sure I’m brave enough to try to prepare raw fish at home?? Help!
Newest Berkeley food discovery: a Jewish deli with a full bar and craft beer list. A place where I can get pastrami, latkes, and a craft beer on draft?! IS THIS REAL LIFE? Saul’s, I love you.
Hey everybody! How’s your week going? Do you have any plans for the Derby this weekend? Watching the race itself totally stresses me out, but I love hearing all the awesome horse names and having an excuse to drink a serious mint julep (or four). Luckily, I have not one but TWO drank recipes for you this week. Happy Kentucky Derby AND happy almost-Cinco De Mayo! (Uh, what a great week!) Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites.
These chili lime mango margaritas look freakin’ amazing. I would like a pitcher of these and a chair by the pool, please!
I just cannot look at pictures of these salted chocolate chunk cookies and NOT want to run to the kitchen immediately to whip them up. These are happening ASAP – will report back re: “best cookie ever” status!!
This is my super-trendy matcha-loaded St. Patrick’s Day gift to you.
Have you guys heard of matcha powder? It’s basically green tea ground up into a powder that can be thrown into smoothies, baked goods, or whatever else you want. And it also doubles as a handy-dandy natural green food dye for the greatest green-food holiday of the year, which just HAPPENS to be coming up next week!!
