Elote: Grilled Mexican Street Corn

September 6, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 16 Comments

Elote: Grilled Mexican Street Corn... is my new love!  Elote is a common street vendor food in Mexico, which I have sadly missed in my own forrays into Mexico. But you better believe I am going to have my eyes peeled for it the next time I am down south.  I asked some of my Mexican friends about it, and they all rolled their eyes up in ecstasy describing it!  Sweet grilled corn, slathered with

Waffles of Insane Greatness

Waffles of Insane Greatness

Have I mentioned that we really LOVE waffles at my house?  They are at top of the list of favorite foods right up there with chocolate chip cookies.  I think it is because we love them so much that I get sucked in by claims of' the 'best recipe ever'  and I just can't help but try them out now and again. Oh and there are so many lovely varieties to match the season, the ingredients you have on

Julia Child’s Favorite Brownies

August 16, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 18 Comments

Did you know Julia Child's 100th birthday would have been yesterday? Such an amazing woman deserves to be remembered on her birthday, especially her 100th birthday.  So in honor of Julia, I whipped up Julia Child's Favorite Brownies recipe last night.  These brownies require some extra work, but in case you are waffling about whether they are worth the effort.... they are.  Definitely.  Julia's

Texas Sheet Cake

When I need a dessert for a large group, I usually make the super good "Brownies for a Crowd" but last week I tried this Texas Sheet Cake for a party and it was perfect!  Perfectly quick, easy and oh so  D E L I C I O U S!!   Warm, moist and sweet chocolatey goodness!   With always hungry teenage boys hanging around my house, I think I will be making this cake often.  The recipe uses simple

Peanut Butter & Nutella Cookies

July 26, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 168 Comments

Calling all cookie lovers!  Do I have a cookie for you.  These Peanut Butter and Nutella Cookies are nothing short of fabulous.  They are moist and flavorful, not dry like many peanut butter cookie recipes I've tried.  And the combo with Nutella is amazing.  I love Nutella.  I really discovered it studying abroad in Jerusalem.  I ate it every day with apples or bread...  can you imagine? It's

Fabulous Flank Steak

July 24, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 12 Comments

For Father's Day last month, I tried a new recipe for Flank Steak and it was FABULOUS!  I found this Alton Brown recipe and it was perfect!  So flavorful and delicious.  I am usually not a huge fan of steak (I know, I know, call me crazy:) but I have to admit that Flank steak is really good.  I love how it soaks up the marinade and the servings are thinly sliced and super tender.   A little goes a

Apple and Pear Crostata

Apple and Pear Crostata

Who out there loves fruit pie?  Maybe in particular apple pie? Well you have got to try this amazing Apple and Pear Crostata. A Crostata is basically a free form pie, or open faced fruit tart.  I really cannot say enough about how delicious it is. I don't particularly love apple pie (I mean it's good but not a favorite) but this dessert always knocks my socks off!  The combination of apples and

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
