  • Cheese Bowls

    Cheese Bowls

    To keep up with munchies week, we’re adding in these wonderful bowls made of cheese.

    When you’re eating anything from pasta to salad, what would make it better? I bet you were just thinking: a BOWL MADE OF CHEESE. And you’d be right. These bowls are made out of shredded Parmesan cheese that are baked for a short amount of time in the oven and then molded to be in the shape of a bowl.

    Sounds like a process, right? It’s actually really easy! I don’t even need to fill out a recipe post to let you know how to make these!

    Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F. While it’s heating up, prepare a baking sheet or two with parchment paper or silpats.

    Step 2: Figure out which bowl you want your cheese bowl to look like. Flip that bowl upside down and made an outline around it with some of the cheese.

    Step 3: lift the bowl and fill in the center with more cheese. There can be holes, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

    Step 4: Bake the cheese for 5-10 minutes or until cheese has begun to brown a bit. Remove from the oven and let cool for two minutes.

    Step 5: Using your bowl and a spatula, flip the cheese onto the bowl so it can set.

    Step 6: Press the cheese down so it molds with the bowl. Blot off some of the grease with a paper towel. Let set for a minimum of 10 minutes.

    Step 7: Remove the bowl from the mold, and fill with whatever you desire… or just eat the bowl. I don’t know your life.

  • Zoe’s Chocolaty Bacon Eclairs

    Zoe’s Chocolaty Bacon Eclairs

    Eclairs are an amazing dessert. When I was young I used cannoli and eclair interchangeably. Yes yes I know that’s basically sacrilege, but I’m really into desserts and I was too young to know the difference.

    But these are all eclair. I won’t be providing you with the recipe because I will be doing a whole segment on desserts later this year, so if you’re really into it, stay tuned for that.

    These eclairs are the perfect munchie. Rich chocolate mixes with espresso and a touch of chili pepper, a slightly crunchy pate au choux, and delicious bacon jam with caramelized onions. Sweet, savory and umani in all the best ways.

    (and they’re really easy to make into an edible… )

    It’s important to note that eclairs are incredibly time consuming to make if you’ve never made them before.

    BUT! If you’re not about making your own, you could always buy some and add your own bacon mixture to the top of it!

  • Brie, Pear and Almond Puffs

    Brie, Pear and Almond Puffs

    When I think hors d’oeuvres, I think one bite. Passed hors d’oeuvres should be easily eaten and not messy at all. At the most, you may need to wipe your fingers on a small cocktail napkin.

    These little bites are perfect for your next party. These are good when passed on a tray by a well dressed server, or placed on a lovely serving platter, center stage on your food table.

    I had a lot of fun building mine. I decided to make cute little flowers with mine ( and then made some that just looked like puffs). These could be made into a variety of shapes and forms, making them incredibly versatile for any affair.

  • Caramel Corn with Pistachios, Peanuts and Coconut

    Caramel Corn with Pistachios, Peanuts and Coconut

    Want to know a secret? I’ve never really enjoyed caramel corn. My grandmother used to buy those massive tubs that were divided into three sections, one with regular popcorn, one with caramel corn, and I don’t remember the last one. I was never interested in the sweet popcorn, only the salty stuff.

    But that has never meant that I don’t enjoy actually making caramel corn. This one is particularly good because it combines the sweetness of caramel with the saltiness of peanuts and pistachios and the mild sweetness of coconut. Basically, it’s the perfect sweet and salty snack.
