Lemon Bundt Cake
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love lemon. I know that some people think that you’re either a chocolate kind of person or a lemon kind of person and I think that’s ridiculous because I don’t think I could survive with one and not the other. OK, that might be mildly […]

Seriously Delicious Ribs
As I said last time, since my knee surgery I’ve been pulling my weight around the house by suggesting to Joseph what he can make for me. And when I opened my weekly e-mail from Food52 last weekend, I immediately clicked on their menu suggestions for 4th of July and stopped scrolling when I got to […]

Strawberry Basil Sorbet
I had knee surgery just a few days ago and have been laid up, once again, depending entirely on Joseph for everything from a glass of water, to going to the pharmacy for my pain killers, to making each and every one of my meals. It’s been painfully hot here in Boston the last […]

Ohio Food Love
Now that I’ve given you a full overview of all the cocktails I drank while I was visiting Ohio (here, here, here, and don’t forget the DIY Cocktails giveaway!), I thought I would give you a little snapshot of the rest of my time in Columbus and Athens, OH because it was so much more […]

Strawberry Basil Mojito (and a Giveaway!)
Of the three drinks my sister, brother-in-law, and I made when I visited them, this was the unanimous favorite. While we really enjoyed the peachy keen and the watermelon-cucumber refresher, this is the one that we just couldn’t stop talking about. It all started with the perfectly ripe strawberries from the farmer’s market (it’s always […]

Peachy Keen (Peach + Bourbon Cocktail)
Ok, so I already shared the Watermelon-Cucumber Refresher, which is the first drink that I made with my sister and brother-in-law from DIY Cocktails, and now I’m jumping to the third and last drink (I’m saving the second drink for my next post because once you try it, you may just forget about all other […]

Watermelon-Cucumber Refresher
So, as I mentioned last time, I received a copy of DIY Cocktails to review. The book is full of beautiful drinks and flipping through the pages, the list of things I wanted to try grew exponentially. We loved the piña coladas, but why stop there when there are so many other things to try? The problem […]

Piña Colada
Yikes, I could sure use one of these right now. Work has been nuts, I’ve been out of town for the last several days, and I recently found out I have to have knee surgery again (I already had knee surgery on my other knee almost 4 months ago) and it’s scheduled for next Friday! […]

Pomegranate-Champagne Punch
My absolute favorite of the four things I made for the bridal shower was this punch. For starters, I just love sparkling wine. It doesn’t matter if it’s Champagne with a capital “C” from Champagne, or champagne with a little “c” from New Mexico, or if it’s Cava, Prosecco, red, white, rosé, whatever, I love […]

Caramelized Onion Jam With Dark Rum
In addition to the two cakes I made for the bridal shower, I also made an onion jam. Actually, no, Joseph made it and I stood around and tried to be useful. When I did step in to help, my reward was a splatter of oil and butter jumping straight from the pan to my […]

Piña Colada Cake
Remember the strawberry starburst cake that I made for the wedding shower for two work friends? Well, it was a potluck dinner and I was one of three people bringing dessert, yet I still found it necessary to make two cakes because I always worry about there being enough food (and yet there is always, […]

Strawberry Starburst Cake
There are so many wonderful things about spring and one of my favorites is the resurgence of luscious, ruby red strawberries. I can’t bring myself to buy strawberries in the winter because they are just so sad with their pinkish/reddish facade and bland white innards. But in the spring we start seeing bright red strawberries followed by bright […]

Chinese Chicken Salad
Meet my new favorite salad: the Chinese chicken salad from Ellie Krieger’s The Food You Crave. It’s a stunning salad bursting with vibrant purple, green, and orange and it’s got all the right textures going on with juicy mandarin oranges, crispy napa and red cabbage, and crunchy water chestnuts. The tangy soy ginger Chinese/Pan-Asian inspired dressing […]

strawberry rhubarb crumble
I grew up hating rhubarb. I don’t even know when I tried it, but I did and I hated it and I never wanted to try it again. My mom, on the other hand, loved rhubarb. As the sole fan in the house, she never got to have it. For mother’s day I would sometimes […]

oven baked garlic fries with garlic aioli
Whew, this has been one crazy long weekend! When we weren’t busy seeing friends and family, running errands (including multiple visits to grocery and liquor stores), we were in the kitchen cooking. Trust me, you’ve got lots to look forward to in the coming days! Joseph e-mailed me at work earlier last week telling me […]

Bourbon Rosemary Pecans
Heading to a Memorial Day barbecue and want to bring your hosts something to go with the beer? And maybe you have some bourbon left over from your Kentucky Derby party?These salty sweet nuts are a delicious treat that they will love and you can throw them together pretty quickly. I first made rosemary pecans a few weeks ago […]

Adobo Baby Back Ribs
It’s somewhat ironic that my husband, who is Filipino, loves to cook so much – especially Asian food – and yet he never cooks Filipino food! My mother-in-law makes amazing Filipino food, including pancit, chicken and pork adobo, sinigang, and my absolute favorite, lumpia. Joseph says that he doesn’t cook Filipino food because his mom’s […]

lemon crinkle cookies and lemon coconut cookies
I’ve been posting a lot of lime treats lately (like the key lime coconut cake and the cornmeal lime cookies), but the truth is, my love of tart desserts began with lemon and not lime, so I figured it was about time I posted something lemony. These cookies have been making their way around pinterest […]

Pixelated Crumb has Moved!
I’m very happy to announce that Pixelated Crumb has moved! You can now find me at http://pixelatedcrumb.com. It’s still the blog you know and love, but with an easier web address and a few improvements that I’ll be adding, such as a ‘print recipe’ feature and a recipe index. I wanted to let all of you know […]

chocolate cake with white chocolate cream cheese frosting
Birthdays sometimes go unnoticed in my office, and while I can’t bake a cake for everyone, I try to do something. We hired a new project assistant a couple months back and we kind of forgot her birthday. My excuse was that I was working from home because of my never-ending knee problems. But I decided […]
