I have been blogging for over 7 years and have more than 700 recipes on the blog. I started with the idea of keeping all my recipes recorded in one place and today blogging has become a passion and profession. This year, I have decided to go back to my old posts and update the pictures. This way I am also performing a quality check on the recipes and following the old recipe perfectly and male changes if needed....
This triple berry cake is everything! Tender cake layers floating between thick bands of light-as-air mascarpone whipped cream frosting with gorgeous ripe strawberries, blackberries and blueberries! It’s such a seasonal treat and even though this cake is massive, I guarantee it won’t last a day! If you’ve ever thought OMG that cake is just too sweet or rich then you NEED to try making a mascarpone whipped cream frosting! It’s sweet but not cloying and much lighter than a buttercream, meaning those fresh berries get to be the star of the dish!...
ARRRRRRABBIATA!! Arrabbiata sauce! Was quite possibly my most favorite thing I ate in Italy this past summer. Okay, I take that back, I ate a ton of things that were my favorite — the pesto and sun-dried tomato focaccia in Cinque Terre — it brought me to my knees! Okay, that’s a little dramatic, but you get the picture. However, fiery red sauce (also known as arrabbiata sauce) is just one of those things I’ve always loved....
And my love ( or what you would call obsession) with black beans continues today with these black bean mushroom burgers. Meaty portobello mushrooms that add so much body and texture along with hearty black beans, and mighty spinach.

Just tender and succulent burgers that are seasoned with cumin and chipotle chili powder to give it a nice little Tex-mex kick in the rear....

Snappetizers! Buttery, flaky puff pastry topped with balsamic caramelized onions, sauteéd mushrooms, a hint of garlic, and a smoked gruyere cheese bomb mixed right in. These caramelized onion bites are a game-changer for me. They’re perfect to serve your Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years guests before a big dinner. Also, they totally look fancy schmancy, but nobody really needs to know that the caramelized onion and sauteéd mushroom filling can be made a couple of days ahead of time....
