Rum & Hazelnut Banana Pudding Trifles

June 13, 2018 Plate Fete

Banana pudding. She's your summer steady. She'll tag along for picnics, she'll make those overly-ornate trifle bowls you got for your wedding shine bright, and she is more than content being tonight's dessert and tomorrow's breakfast.

TOP 10 WEEKNIGHT FAVORITES

January 3, 2018 Plate Fete

It's a new year and that means we are packing away the sequin dresses and tossing out the Christmas cookies because routine has returned. We are back in the game once again and while I am always reluctant to say goodbye to the holiday season, I do love opening a new planner and forming new habits. One of my favorite parts of "normal life" is making and eating dinner at home. The charm of cheese balls and cookie trays can only last so long.

Here's a few of our winter favorites that I keep in rotation.

1. KALE, BARLEY & BEET SALAD

2. WINTER SHRIMP & GRITS

3. WEEKNIGHT WINTER SALAD

4. BEEF STEW WITH BROWN BUTTER MASHED POTATOES

5. BROWN SUGAR & ALE PROPER JOSEPHS

6. OUR FAVORITE PIZZA

7. FRENCH DIPS

8. THE VERY BEST CHICKEN PARMESAN

9. AUTUMN SALAD WITH FRIED POTATOES AND CANDIED HAZELNUTS

10. TRUFFLE & BRIE LOBSTER MACARONI & CHEESE

Pedantic Foodie

Eggnog Poke Cake

December 12, 2017 Plate Fete

If you do not know what a poke cake is you really need a proper introduction.

The retro classic calls for one box of white cake mix, one box of strawberry Jello, and one tub of Cool Whip. It is a summer potluck classic and I can never seem to resist it.
