Let me tell you guys something. I love cheese. It is my weakness. Not ice cream, or cookies, or cake - but cheese. Glorious cheese in just about any form. Sharp, sliced, shredded, fresh, soft, hard, crumbled. Any of it. All of it. I haven’t met a cheese that I don’t like, and I’ve never tried buratta before even though I’ve always wanted to.
Buratta is a pretty cool cheese. It’s basically a creamy spreadable cheese tucked away inside a skin of fresh mozzarella. So when you cut into it, the creamy cheese oozes out and it’s so so good. I didn’t want to have it just all on it’s own, so I decided to make this Baked Buratta. The name is sort of a lie since the buratta itself isn’t baked…
'Tortilla Trend' Omelette
There’s this trend going around right now called the ‘Tortilla Trend’ where you take a tortilla and cut it halfway through the middle and then proceed to fill each quarter segment of it with different things and then fold it over on itself to make a tasty wrap. I decided to take that idea and make into more of an omelette with some of my favorite breakfast burrito fillings.
This 'Tortilla Trend' Omelette is pretty easy to make though it does take a little bit of know-how and a gentle hand when it comes to the folding it over, but outside of that this is just as easy as any standard omelette to make!…

It’s definitely that time of year where Summer is lingering on the horizon and we’ve all got to dig deep to try and push forward through the rest of the school year and into Summer break. Most years, I’m not quite ready for the hot 100 degree days and three months of blistering sunshine, but this year I am all in. I. Can’t. Wait. That being said, I still have things to do!

Read MoreChili Cheese Cornbread Casserole
It’s no secret that I tend to make up a batch of chili and then store the leftovers in the freezer to be used at another time. Chili is perfect for the purposes of reuse. It’s versatile and goes on anything from hotdogs to enchiladas and so much more. This time around I decided to use it up in a new casserole. One that has both the chili AND the cornbread baked together into a delicious all inclusive dish.
This casserole starts out with a simple cornbread on the bottom that’s pretty much baked through before you pile the chili on top along with cheese and bake it for a little longer. The cornbread soaks up some of the liquid of the chili and gives you this tasty casserole that’s more spoon friendly than anything else…
Read MoreSkinny Stuffed Mushrooms
I for one, love appetizers. I could make a meal alone out of small appetizers, both hot and cold. One of my favorites though, has to be stuffed mushrooms. My love of stuffed mushrooms goes back several years where I think my first try was at a little Italian restaurant.
I immediately, and without being much of a cook at the time, taught myself how to make them. Skip forward to today and I like to make them with a few minor changes to the original easy recipe that included cream cheese, bacon, and just a touch of Italian cheese. I mean, who doesn’t just love the combination of cheese, mushrooms, and bacon? You’d be crazy not to!…
