Daily Recipe: White Chocolate and Cherry Chunk Cookies

It's getting to be that glorious time of year when the tarps come off of grills, the patio is swept off, the lawn chairs are brought out from storage, and the drinks are put on ice. Yes, it's time for the Springtime BBQs and park days. Don't be the one person who shows up empty-handed. And if you really want to garner a few new friends, show up with cookies, or brownies, or homemade peanut butter bars.

Daily Recipe: Taco Pockets

Daily Recipe: Taco Pockets

Tuesday is upon us once again which means the delicacy that is a good taco is in order. Taking a new turn tonight, though, with the tradition dish, we decided to stuff those tacos in a pocket versus a shell. They almost look as fun to eat as they are to say 10 times fast.

The Ultimate Warrior, Ultimate Fighting, Ultimate Frisbee - Let's face it, adding the word "ultimate" in front of any word automatically makes it cooler. So does the same ring true in terms of food? Probably, but there's only one way to find out...

Daily Recipe: Meatless Meatloaf

Daily Recipe: Meatless Meatloaf

The question is, if you're going to have meatloaf, why not just go all out and actually have meatloaf if you're not a vegetarian? We wish we could answer that, we really do. But for whatever reason, when Whole Foods offers their vegan meatless meatloaf in the deli case, we opt for it. It's just good. Now that we've tracked down the recipe, it appears we can have it anytime. We just hope we don't ruin it by having too much of a good thing.

Daily Recipe: Planning for Mother's Day - Soft Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Ricotta and Chives

Before you know it, Mother's Day will be here, and you don't want to be unprepared if you happen to not be the matriarch of the family. May 9th may be over two and a half weeks out, but that doesn't mean you can't start getting the day planned. Perhaps booking that skydiving adventure now is a better idea than risking the plane filling up and at the last minute realize you have nothing to give mom. Sky diving a little too extreme? Well, how about breakfast in bed? It's like the same thing, just, without a parachute.

Monday is hardly the night to try some adventurous recipe. We found this amazing looking spinach and goat cheese tartlet dish but reconsidered when we saw the preparation instructions. Best to leave the more time-consuming dishes for those nights when you don't just want to go home and crash.

Daily Recipe: Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Black Sticky Rice

While Tuesdays are reserved for tacos, last night was a night at the ball park with hot dogs and peanuts, tonight we're excited to continue a new practice of chowing down on some delicious Thai food. We like to think we always have time to make said delicacies, but most times we just opt for take out and a night of must see TV. There is a little place down the street that has the best grilled pineapple for dessert. That said, it'd be nice to know how to make our own so we can have it more frequently.
