Would it be okay with you guys if I just slathered Nutella on every recipe from here onwards? I’m being totally serious here.
You see… I had a strawberry and nutella crepe a few years ago, and it was love at first sight. Or should I say, first bite?

I’m a truffle-aholic. And my love for raw cacao transcends the dimensions of space and time. I find myself suddenly becoming poetic when I see the jar of raw cacao sitting on my countertop each morning. Oh raw cacao, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

How do all of the top supermodels get their glowing skin and amazing physique? I ever so casually glanced at Gisele’s Instagram the other day hoping to learn some tricks of the trade, and noticed that she posted a picture of ingredients to make green juice! Purely in the name of research of course, I also googled other Hollywood celebs and was surprised to find that everyone from Mindy Kaling to Ryan Seacrest is a fan of green smoothies. A-ha!

Lemon coconut bars?! Count me in!
With a little bit of sweet and a little bit of tart, these sunny lemon coconut bars are the perfect winter pick-me up.

I just can’t explain it. Winter always turns me into a meat and potatoes kind of gal, which surprises everyone in my family, including myself. Outta nowhere, I- a self proclaimed kale lover- suddenly find myself craving savory lamb kebabs and creamy potato soup. WHAT?!?! Where did this come from? Maybe it’s a survival of the fittest thing.

I was craving something warm and hearty today. A cold salad just doesn’t sound appetizing in the middle of winter- I need something that sticks to the ribs!
Enter shepherd’s pie… now we are talking.

Things just got a little interesting in the ETG kitchen. I’ve been reading a ton of amazing cookbooks lately, and now I’m determined to become a top chef. Goodbye, boring vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Hello, kumquat ice cream! I want to play with the big kids now, and I’m looking at you, Daniel Boulud.

Nothing hits the spot like a big slice of pizza. The problem is that there are so many yummy toppings to choose from, that it’s hard to make up my mind! And I haven’t even gotten to the crust options yet- thin crust, thick crust, cheese inside the crust, or Chicago deep dish? Decisions, decisions.

I haven’t had a chance to travel much because I have been so busy with work, but Italy is definitely one place that I hope to visit soon. The art, the culture, the fashion, the food, the capuccino, the gelato, the pasta… seriously, who wouldn’t drop everything and go to Italy if given the chance?

Candied kumquats are awesome. Why do we need them in our lives? The answer: just because.
1. Because they are absolutely addictive. You can eat them straight up like candy- we’ve tried it. The flavor is too delicious and complex to even describe in words- initially sweet, then an explosion of citrus in the mouth.
Tanney: “It tastes like an orange lifesaver, but a thousand times better.”
2. Because they are cool. Who else has candied kumquats in their lunch box? Only the cool kids….
