A creamy coffee flavored pasta topped with parmesan crusted chicken

Freshly made thick cut french fries are smothered in a thick New England clam chowder. It\’s a poutine chowder mash-up!

This creamy stovetop mac and cheese is super spicy and has a sweetness from the basil and green onion.

A BLT flavored ice cream with bacon and arugula in the actual ice cream and a sweet tomato jam as the topping.  Inspired by Orange is the New Black.

A tasty North African dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, and some homemade lamb merguez sausage.

I had an ice cream at Ronnybrook Farm Dairy at Chelsea Market about a month ago that was “2 cookies and cream”. It was really clever and also really really delicious to mix chocolate chip cookies into the regular cookies and cream. Ice cream has been on the brain lately, and September is my favorite time of the year to eat ice cream, so I decided to top their flavor and double the cookie content! In addition to oreo and chocolate chip, I also mixed in peanut butter cookies, and finished it all off with a speculoos cookie spread as a swirl. This was hands down the best ice cream I have ever made! My only question is “who can top that shit, who can top that shit”?

I had lots of mortadella leftover from my meat slicer party, and here is just another fun way I used it up. What I enjoyed about this pasta was the creamy mustard flavor, and also the fact that the pasta and all the ingredients were similarly sized. You could just sort of shovel it all into your mouth and get all the different ingredients in each bite. Shovel-able is a great attribute for any pasta dish.

Some friends and I got together this past weekend to have a spicy feast and it was lots of fun! I was inspired to create the feast when the heartburn medicine Pepcid came to me and wanted to work with me on a sponsored blog post. THAT blog post is coming on Thursday, but this is the appetizer that we had that day. I got the idea for roulette style spicy apps from a super spicy dinner called Hell Night that is hosted a few times a year at a restaurant in Cambridge called East Coast Grill. What they do is give you one item per person at your table (I had it as meatballs) and most are mild, one is medium, and one is insanely hot. I instead made 75% of these stuffed mushrooms pretty hot, and 25% of them CRAZY HOT, and we all just started chowing down.

It’s opening day in my neighborhood and I couldn’t be more excited! This is the time of the year when Fenway comes alive! I made these arepa dogs on monday for the season opener in Baltimore, and it felt great to have a few during the game. I didn’t even make the connection at first, but this hot dog is a perfect dish for baseball season considering the large amount of South American players in the MLB. Arepas are huge in Venezuela, and we have several Venezuelan players on the Red Sox, like starting pitcher Felix Dubront, reliever Edward Mujich, and infielder Jonathan Herrera. These arepa dogs are a fun twist on corn dogs that are easy to make at home and are clean to eat with your hands.

Twist on Shepherds Pie that uses sausage and a topping of crispy brussel sprouts.
