Mini Brie Popovers

A vision of hosting a wine and cheese party sometime over the holidays has been dancing in my head recently. With a small gathering of guests bringing their favorite varieties, it’s a perfect way to try different wines while being surrounded by the warmth of the season. Of course, a wine and cheese party wouldn’t [...]

Caprese Skewers

The voices in my head debated long and hard about what to bring to a recent potluck gathering. A little birdie told me there would be the usual variety of dips, chips and sweets. Plus, there would be a few people who prefer the veggie side of life. I thought it would be nice to [...]

Super Rich No Bake Bites

I’m the type of person who will go to the market to pick up a gallon of milk and end up with a trunk full of groceries. This tends to happen more often than you might think. Don’t laugh. I’m sure you have found yourself impulsively buying goodies because they were “buy one, get one [...]

Homemade Baked Potato Chips

I’ve been making baked potato chips for years. But I never considered posting the recipe to CulinaryCory.com because I thought it might be a little too simple for your reading enjoyment. So I decided to ask my Facebook followers what they thought about the idea. Much to my surprise I almost immediately started receiving enthusiastic [...]

Chicken Salad with Pears & Traverse City Cherries

Having grown up just 30 miles south of the self-proclaimed Cherry Capital, I’m no stranger to the sweet and tangy world of cherries. Traverse City is located in the upper western part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. It’s proximity to the Great Lakes and access to Grand Traverse Bay makes this thriving area a perfect growing [...]

Stovetop Apple Crisp

What can be more comforting than a dessert made with apples? From pies, to tarts, crostatas and even crisps; apples are clearly my universal go-to fruit for a tasty dessert for a dinner party. The best part is I have yet to find anyone who will turn down something filled with apple goodness. My interest [...]

Tzatziki Dip with Fresh Vegetables

My Easter holiday was full of good food, sun and a whole lot of fun. Since the weather reached well into the 80’s here in Pittsburgh, I thought it would be a fabulous excuse for an outdoor barbeque. I guess you can say this was the first of many outdoor gatherings I intend to have [...]

Sweet & Tangy Cucumbers

If I see yet another flake of snow this year, I’m going to scream. Pittsburgh was hit pretty hard with several major snow storms and it has been months since I’ve seen something other than white in my front yard. Even Sophie is over it. With the official day of spring just around the corner, [...]

Easy Dipping Oil

Go to any fancy Italian restaurant and you are sure to be greeted with a basket of crusty bread and fruity olive oil. You don’t have to put on your Sunday best to experience the same pleasure of tearing chunks of bread and plunging them deep into a shallow bowl of goodness. I wasn’t planning [...]

Baked Goat Cheese Marinara

Isn’t it amazing how something so simple can look so good in a photo? I posted this to my Facebook Fan Page a couple of days ago because I was that excited to share it before the blog post went live. I figured why should I deny my fans from such tasty beauty? (insert gleeful [...]
