Scallion Dip

This time around it wasn’t a cottage cheese base dip, but sour cream. AKA it was a dip thrown together to use up ingredients before they go bad! I mixed together equal parts sour cream and mayo. I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and some paprika. I added finely chopped scallions and some lemon juice.Continue reading “Scallion Dip”

Nikki’s Custard

I have seen Nikki’s Custard several times when seeing my parents. Mom and I always wanted to check it out. I think she tried to convince my dad as well – but had no such luck. So, this time around we had him stop to check it out! Ambiance/Atmosphere: This cute shop located on Oregon PikeContinue reading “Nikki’s Custard”

Elote

Cinco de Mayo means fun foods like Elote aka street corn. (Clearly I am still behind here catching up LOL). I venture to make it myself and it turned out soooo perfect! It was very easy as well. Cook the ears of corn as you normally would. In a shallow dish I mixed the following:Continue reading “Elote”

Fourscore Beer Co. (Gettysburg, PA)

After Gettysburg Eddies, we wanted more beer to find a spot to check out. Given the name and close location, next stop was Fourscore Beer Co. Ambiance/Atmosphere: This was another great brew pub style place. They have the tradition pub style ordering where you go to the bar and order get a number if you wantContinue reading “Fourscore Beer Co. (Gettysburg, PA)”

Gettysburg Eddies (Gettysburg, PA)

After a day of exploring the battlefield, beer was needed and maybe some food! Gettysburg Eddies was the selection.

Cheese Danish

Who doesn’t love a flaky cheese Danish! I didn’t realize how easy they were to make until I was scrolling and watched some reels of how to make them at home. So, I thought let’s give it a go! What you need: puff pastry (I used two sheets), block of cream cheese, some sugar, vanillaContinue reading “Cheese Danish”

Juice Pod (Malvern, Pa)

I love when friends and co-workers give recommendations for new places to try! Juice Pod is one of them and I thought the perfect day to try it out is a day with mom! Ambiance/Atmosphere: Juice pod is a small spot in a strict shopping center. They give a fresh, modern farmhouse house décor. I love that itContinue reading “Juice Pod (Malvern, Pa)”

Homemade Bread

If you didn’t know, I love the 2 ingredient bagels. They are easy, delicious, and filling. I have started to use bread flour instead of all purpose flour. I feel like it’s a complete game changer. They a have perfect bread chew. It’s hard to describe but you will have to try it yourself orContinue reading “Homemade Bread”

Banana Muffins-ish

We can’t always share the good recipes. We need to share the oops so you know what not to do and try yourself! Hence the “muffin-ish.” It was time to use up bananas. I couldn’t find a recipe to use as a guide that I liked so we made up our own. I’m pretty sureContinue reading “Banana Muffins-ish”
