So, when you get a gift card to try a place in Kennett Square (the mushroom capital) called Portabello’s … you prepare to go for the all out mushrooms! Ambiance/Atmosphere: It was the most perfectContinue reading “Portabello’s (Kennett Square, PA)”

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

I have been having some fun experimenting with my two-ingredient bagel recipe! I now only make them with bread flour. I also love to make them in the air fryer. It’s easier and quicker. I don’t have to worry about the oven taking long to preheat or making the kitchen too warm! Clean up isContinue reading “Cinnamon Raisin Bagels”

Layered Summer Treats

I was looking for a fun summer treat with a red white and blue theme. After researching and compiling ideas – I came up with this layered treat! First, I started with baking the puff pastry. I learned my lesson last time with the Danishes and I made sure to not let them defrost tooContinue reading “Layered Summer Treats”

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chex

I had some Chex left, the wheat ones (my least favorite lol). I decided to do a sweet treat of chocolate peanut butter. But I felt like were not as satisfying as corn or rice Chex would be LOL. It was a fairly easy recipe to put together. I preheated the oven to 275. IContinue reading “Chocolate Peanut Butter Chex”

Five Guys (Wayne, PA)

Believe it or not, I have never been to Five Guys or even ate their food – until now of course! Mom and I wanted burgers – Five Guys was the choice. Ambiance/Atmosphere: I love when you walk in you get that old school diner vibe with the white tile and red accents. At this location,Continue reading “Five Guys (Wayne, PA)”

Apple Oat Muffins

Meal prepping breakfast options, especially those that pair well with coffee. I love the protein blueberry muffins that use Greek yogurt and the kodiak pancake mix. I have made them several more times mixing strawberries or whatever berry I had on hand. But this time around, I had apples to use and I wanted toContinue reading “Apple Oat Muffins”

Lunch Bowls

Do you ever have this idea of “Oh I will make this for lunch!” but then you open your fridge, and you didn’t have all the you wanted? Because, same. I had the best intentions of making a fun and healthier lunch bowl, but I made do with what ingredients I had! I started withContinue reading “Lunch Bowls”

More Bagel Sandwich Prep

We are back with my two ingredient bagels. I know, I am obsessed! I switched to bread flour which is a game changer! It really elevates the bagel. And I just can’t get enough of them! For this sandwich prep, we did turkey bacon eggs and cheese! I started by making the bagels. While baking,Continue reading “More Bagel Sandwich Prep”

PA Renn Faire

It’s time to highlight one of my favorite activities/adventures. I was shocked I hadn’t highlighted it yet – but turns out I haven’t been back since starting the blog, until now! Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire should be your next activity! I have recently attended the Celtic Fling. Which in my opinion, is the best weekend toContinue reading “PA Renn Faire”

Sour Cream and Chive Dip

Getting in the fresh herb game, but then not realizing how to use chives. Toppings are great, but I wanted to make it the star LOL. So, a chive dip was in store and looking in the fridge – a sour cream and chive dip came together. To a bowl, I added 2 parts sourContinue reading “Sour Cream and Chive Dip”
