Spicy Stuffed Shells

I’ve been craving even heartier foods as the weather has grown colder. The spicy flavor and tummy filling nature of these stuffed shells were perfect reasons to let the warmth of the oven wrap me in comfort. Who says you can’t host an impromptu holiday dinner party during the weekday? Consider making this in advance [...]

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 [...]

Basil & Tomato Baked Eggs

Forget about rubbery scrambled eggs or slaving over a hot stove while frying eggs one at a time. A simple and creative way to add elegance to a Sunday brunch is to bake your eggs in gratin dishes. You can even add a splash of summer freshness with a sprinkling of snipped herbs or farm [...]

Artichoke & Roasted Red Pepper Focaccia

Located near Pittsburgh’s downtown core is a one half square mile area known as the Strip District. This landmark neighborhood is home to a wide variety of gritty independent retail shops, ethnic food emporiums and local restaurants. The place is not for those seeking to wrap themselves in the sanitized comfort of a suburban strip [...]

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 [...]

Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookies

Would you believe even Culinary Cory doesn’t always have time to cook everything from scratch? Dare I say I occasionally turn to the semi-homemade way to save a little time? Insert screaming and crying here. The holidays have been pretty busy for me with a ton of things to do and little time to do [...]

Goat Cheese, Blackberry and Pear Bites

When someone offers me a sample of cheese, I perk up and take notice.  So when the folks at Ile De France Cheese asked me if I was interested in trying a sample of their delicious goat cheese, I couldn’t resist the offer. This was the perfect opportunity to feature one of my most favorite [...]

Stuffed Green Bell Peppers

After a rainy week here in Pittsburgh, the warm sunshine was a welcomed treat this weekend.  I took advantage of the weather by spending most of the daylight hours prepping my lawn for what will become a canvas of herbs and flowers.  A perfect backdrop for what will hopefully be many meals on the back [...]

Coconut Apple Crisp

Nothing really says fall better than a fresh baked and sinfully crusted apple crisp.  Since I have been making variations of this recipe throughout my youth, I think it’s pretty safe to say I have it down well.  Now that I’m all grown up, the butterflies still flutter when the kitchen is filled with sweet [...]

Baked Pumpkin Donuts

I can’t help it.  There are days when I’m just drawn to it.  Those four big letters glistening in the yellow glow and sparkle of retail extravaganza.  I don’t care if I have to wade through the text messaging hoards of 12 year olds just to find it.  I see it there, hidden in the [...]
