Soccer may be a big deal here in Europe but this Sunday we had plenty of reasons to indulge in one of our favorite snacks. 7 layer dip. When you have to two U.S. Open finals to watch and a UFC event, 7 layer dip is the way the go. But of course, we had…

Mini Frittatas & Smoked Salmon Pinwheels
Like most people, I absolutely love the weekends. I work for myself so it isn’t so much about what the weekend represents—time away from annoying coworkers and clueless bosses—but more about the relaxing culture that encompasses all weekends. I think I have a better appreciation for my weekends now that I’m living in Europe. I…

Welsh Rarebit Mac & Cheese
I don’t really eat macaroni and cheese often, mostly because of all that fatty stuff that goes into and makes it so darned tasty! But when I do get a craving it is definitely NOT for that boxed crap filled with nutrition-less noodles and orange powder…what animal does powdered cheese come from?? Anyway when I…

Since the weather here in Stuttgart doesn’t seem to be anywhere near Spring-like figured it was time to revisit a soup that I’ve only grown to love as an adult. A few years ago I lived in Boston and enjoyed many of the best things the city has to offer, including lunch and Shakespeare in…

Pear & Maasdam Ciabatta Sammies
When it comes to making food I find that the most difficult meal to be creative with is lunch. As a kid I would be content with a grilled cheese or a bologna (YUCK) sandwich with Miracle Whip. As an adult however, my tastes have improved…a lot. And now that I no longer suck down…

Feta & Spinach Bulgur w/Salmon
Growing up I wasn’t really introduced to many cuisines around the world. In my town there was Mexican-tons of Mexican—and there were plenty of Chinese restaurants. Not Thai or Vietnamese or Japanese, just plain egg rolls and fried rice Chinese food. But a few months ago I ate bulgur for the first time as part…
