    This past weekend was packed full of fun!  We finally made our way to the Baltimore Aquarium which has been on the bucket list for almost 3 years now.  We originally had plans to grab dinner with friends, but they had something come up last minute, so we instead we called up our friends Karen and Tyler and did something else we’ve been chatting about forever–go to Heavy Seas Brewery for a tour! Mostly they walk you around, tell you about the hopps, the vats, the way they grind the grains, allow it to ferment, carbonate it and bottle it.…

    These little pillow puffs are deeelicious!  But they do take a long time!  For those of you who have ever tried to make gnocchi before, I’ll bet you already know this.  But somehow I always manage to forget, especially because the ingredient list is so minimal, I think they’re a breeze to make!  But when you boil them in multiple batches, and run out of space on your cutting board to continue rolling and cutting them up, it gets a little tedious and you remember just how long they take to make. So these bad boys will take you close to an…

    Look familiar?  I’ll give you a hint: I reviewed a dish quite like this last week from Kona Grill!  Here’s my homemade take!  The one bite I stole from one of my fellow bridesmaids K at the bachelorette dinner last weekend was so good I was still craving it two days later!  So I tried to kinda make something up as I went.  This was still quite tasty, and delicious, though of course not exactly the same.  Definitely a keeper though!  Pesto cream sauce with sausage medallions tossed with some spaghetti or linguine.  Hope you enjoy! You’ll notice in this photo…

    July 24, 2016bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    This recipe came from one of those long-week, long-days, need to throw something together evening meals.  But it was surprisingly tasty and actually elevated, and not at all “from-a-jar”.  And it really only takes a little bit of cream!  Well, not quite.  I’ve mentioned it before, but even as a self-proclaimed “foodie”, I feel like canned and jarred items have their place.  They’re perfect when you’re tired and lazy, or can’t get up the effort to run to the grocery store.  Don’t underestimate those easy cheats!  They come in handy when you’re having last-minute company, or you need to impress the…

    This recipe is one of those easy, pretty, and tasty ones!  This works with both spicy and sweet Italian sausage, as I’ve used both and it’s tasty both ways!  I served Drunken Italian Noodles with homemade applesauce and Parmesan edamame beans! Growing up, my mom and I (and sometimes my sister) used to make applesauce all the time!  (This batch was from my mom and she gave me so much, I’ll be eating it for days.)  Basically, we would just cut up apples, stick ’em in a pot with a tiny bit of water to cover the bottom, and let…
