What the heck are pizza beans you ask? Are they beans on pizza?? Pizza on beans?? You’re intrigued, I can tell. 😊 As far as I know the term was first coined by Deb Perelman, one of my favorite blogger/chefs, in her second cookbook. The story goes that she, 6 months pregnant, was invited to a potluck. Instead of making a

Spiced Jewish Apple Cake
September 26, 2019
Apples, Pumpkins and Pears, OH MY!! Autumn is officially here. “Lexi, didn’t you just make a cake a few weeks ago?” YES. Yes I did… and do I have ANOTHER beauty for you. Fall is THE BEST time for baking, and never fear, I’ve got cakes galore (check out my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins, Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Hazelnut Streusel, -
Gussied Up Hummus
September 18, 2019
It’s time to UP your hummus game. I’ve got just the way to take this standard appetizer from DULL (sorry, it just is) TO DELECTABLE. Sure you can peel back the plastic, and serve it right out of the tub alongside baby carrots and pita chips for an instant appetizer. But once you’ve tasted the GOOD STUFF, you’ll -

Anchovy, Roasted Pepper & Smoked Mozzarella Pizza
August 8, 2019
Unabashedly. I. LOVE. SEAFOOD. Maybe it’s growing up in Florida? All those nights crabbing on Beer Can Island, hours spent collecting coquinas on the beach, having oyster stuffing at Granny’s for the holidays, or cracking stone crabs on special occasions… it all must have had an influence. Truth be told, I haven’t met a seafood that -
Mango Cupcakes
August 1, 2019
Timing worked out serendipitously for sure. Many weeks ago as I was planning the third recipe in my mango series, cupcakes were on my radar. What I hadn’t done was check the calender! I was born on a Friday, a MONTH after my due date and weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs 12 oz!! – my poor mom. I arrived one day before my -
Mango & Shrimp Lettuce Tacos
July 25, 2019
We’re in week two of mango heaven! While no small part of me wanted to do three straight weeks of desserts for this mango mini-series, I decided to dive into the savory side with these shrimp and mango “tacos.” (Don’t fret, I’ve got a mango treat in store for next week!) In lieu of traditional tortillas, using lettuce wraps
