This month’s LA Food Bloggers Meet Up is dedicated to ethnic heritage, and we are to bring a dish that relates to ours. Since I am Swedish, I set out to find a yummy dish to showcase my cultural background and make my Swedish Grandma proud.

My Uncle Bill, who proclaims that muffins are girly food, has since converted to a muffin man after munching one of these ugly, yet substantial treats. Continue Reading →

It comes as no surprise to me what this was the most view post of 2012. The Moroccan Snake Pastry is bursting with WOW factor. I mean, who doesn’t want to look like a pastry princess? This recipe is time consuming and worth every second it takes to create it.
This recipe was a winner in my book from the ingredients alone. Add the visual magic and viola… you are a culinary wizard.
