Arugula Salad

Arugula Salad
roasted cauliflower, and chickpeas, with lemon pasta and arugula
This arugula salad, is filled with fresh flavors.  A hint of sweet with corn and peas. A salty kick of roasted chickpeas, and a crunch of cauliflower.  Over a nutritional bed of peppery fresh arugula.  

All these flavors together make for the perfect, fresh, flavorful, and colorful salad.

I used this salad as a lunch entree, but it could easily be a side to a delicious dinner, or a midday snack in a small portion.  You could also add a protein such as chicken, or fish to make it a more filling meal.

Mississippi in 12 Hours

Mississippi To start, did anyone else not know that "Mississippi Mud Pie" isn't even from Mississippi?  I was on a hunt to find some of this famous dessert and after looking online at every restaurant and bakery in Biloxi, I got nowhere.  So I started looking into the history of the dessert and I found out that a "Mud Pie" was invented in San Fransisco by  Joanna Chiyo in 1957.  Right before that in 1953 "Mississippi Mud" referred to any kind of chocolate pudding, because it looked like the muddy banks of the Mississippi River.   But before all of that there was a song titled; " MISSISSIPPI MUD" by James Cavanaugh in 1927, and somehow between all of these things there became the "Mississippi Mud Pie" which has literally nothing to do with state itself, and no you cannot find a "Mississippi Mud Pie" in Biloxi Mississippi. Okay, I can move forward now, I just needed to get that whole pie thing off my chest.

Louisiana in 3 Hours

Image
New Orleans, Louisiana The next stop on my road trip to California was New Orleans, and this might have been my favorite stop of the trip. Maybe. We only had a few goals on this quick stop; beignets, chicory coffee, Bourbon street.  Success! We did make all of this happen in just 3 short hours.  The adventure began... with parking. A complete disaster that took 30 minutes within itself, but once that was secured, it was onto Cafe du Monde.  You can get beignets at a number of cafes in the area, but we wanted the entire experience.  We read our rule book the night before, yes there are actually certain rules you should know before heading into the cafe. Don't wear black.  The massive amount of powdered sugar WILL end up all over your black shirt or pants, stick to light colors! Know what it is you want to order, you'll really only see your server twice, once for the order, again with your food and the bill.   With that, an order of beignets has 3 beignets,

Apple Pie

Fresh Apple Pies Hello everyone, I've posted several pictures of these pies, but finally, here are the recipes!  Be prepared for lots of pastry recipes coming soon, as I have just finished my last lab class, baking & pastry.  Yep, that's all my lab classes for my freshman year of college.  Be sure to check out my photo gallery as I will be updating it with pictures from my first two terms. I have lots of recipes to share from blueberry muffins, biscuits, and cookies, to puff pastry, pate au choux dough, and pastry cream.  I've decided to start with the apple pie filling and crust, click here for my pie crust recipe . Both recipes are pretty simple and easy to follow.  For apple pies I suggest granny smith apples, opposed to red apples, most people assume that sweeter is better but realistically, the tartness of green apples add an amazing flavor to the pie. You can even mix half red and half green apples to your pie if you can't decide if you want a sweet or

NoMad: One Michelin Star

Image
NoMad: A One Michelin Star Resturant NoMad is owned and operated by the famous chef Daniel Humm, if that name didn't ring a bell then "Eleven Madison Park" should.  Daniel Humm is the Executive Chef and owner of these two restaurants. Eleven Madison Park was ranked as the #1 restaurant on the 50 best list for many years.  NoMad is an abbreviated way of saying "North of Madison Park."  This would be because NoMad is quite literally just north of the original restaurant that's located in Madison Square Park in New York City. NoMad opened in 2012 as apart of the NoMad Hotel, but I won't get into the hotel details, however, it is utterly beautiful.  If you're interested in more information about the hotel, restaurant, or reservations  click here. I had my experience at NoMad during a day trip to New York where I ate at multiple restaurants, so as a result, I didn't order a ton of food.  The menu is organized into sections labeled as; Snacks, App
