A puffed Dutch Baby Pancake is a fabulous weekend breakfast treat. I love adding strawberries to a dutch baby pancake, but really any fruit will do.

My husband and I recently went to a wedding in Napa and had the pleasure of dining at Ad Hoc, which was amazing. We had their roasted tri-tip and vowed to find a similar recipe. Tri-tip is the cut of meat from the bottom section of the what is considered to be sirloin and is usually barbecued. However this recipe roasts the tri-tip slowly and is amazing. I recently served it to my in-laws and it was one of my easiest and most delicious meals yet.

These pancakes are so delicious you don’t even need to have anything on them. You can add more or less chocolate chips depending upon your sweet tooth!

This is a wonderful twist on fruit salad. A more classic and sophisticated fruit salad with the refreshing flavor of mint and smooth creamy goat cheese. A great side dish for dinner cook-outs or afternoon picnics.

I made this for Easter brunch and it was amazing. It was savory and rich without being heavy. You can add in additional vegetables, such as a chopped Roma tomato or 1/2 bag chopped cooked spinach for more color, but then it is no longer a traditional quiche “Lorraine”.

This is a truly gourmet recipe for fried chicken adapted from a favorite restaurant of ours, Michael Mina. This is a fairly complex recipe so it’s not for the beginner chef, however despite the difficulty and abstract ingredients, this fried chicken is well worth the trouble.

A classic Tex-Mex recipe, the grilled chicken fajita has become one of America’s favorite south of the border meals. The best part about the chicken fajita is the customization of ingredients that each diner can use to create their dream chicken fajita. This recipe requires an indoor or outdoor bbq to grill the chicken.

My kids love these chocolate cupcakes. We’ve gone through our fair share of cupcake recipes and I think we have narrowed down this as our favorite chocolate cupcake recipe. A great thing about these chocolate cupcakes is the fact that you can make the unfrosted cupcakes ahead of time and freeze them for a month if you are short on time.

Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite breakfast meals. Given the rather high amount of calories in Eggs Benedict, we try not to have it too often, but when we do I love this easy recipe below. My eggs benedict recipe uses croissants instead of english muffins which again probably doesn’t help the calorie count, but definitely makes it an easy and delicious dish to prepare!

Red Velvet cupcakes and cakes are such a nice treat on Valentine’s Day. The cake is surprisingly chocolaty and the rich cream cheese frosting make it such a beautiful and decedent dessert. I love this recipe because it is not as oily as some red velvet recipes because it uses sour cream instead of buttermilk.
