Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
YO!?? Stop drooling at these pix and let me get a word in. I’mma make it short, and I’mma make it sweet *duh* but I got something to say. These are going in the category of my ultimate successes. If the show “Best Thing I Ever Made…” called me today and asked me to be on it, well, I’d make these. So, if you work for that show you might want to dial me NOW....

Pumpkin Bread
The pumpkin party continues with a fall classic: pumpkin bread. It’s extremely dense and moist, taking on a cake–like quality that regular bread lacks. Flecks of typical pumpkin pie spices like ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg accompany a strong pumpkin flavor, think banana bread minus the banana and replaced with pumpkin. This bread is the absolute definition of fall. Eat it plain. Warm it up and...

Pumpkin Bread Pudding
The final recipe in our saga of pumpkin glory. Don’t cry too much, there will surely be plenty more pumpkin recipes to come considering I have a list as long as the Nile river. Bread Pudding is a personal favorite dessert of mine. Why? 1) because its extremely versatile and can be flavored/topped/mixed with literally anything my heart desires 2) takes 10 seconds to put together 3) has a...
A Brunch Production
Hungree Girl catering is officially open for business. Yes I’ve done events before like birthday parties and date parties, but now its official. A few days ago my friend Connor called me and asked me to cater a brunch for his frat and their alumni. I agreed and we decided on a menu that was actually the ultimate carb fest; the perfect meal for a long day of heavy heavy drinking. At first, I...

Grilled Cheese Galore
When its rainy and gross outside, there are a few things that are necessary *at least for moi* to do. 1: wear something bright and colorful to contrast with the disgusting dreariness that is outside. 2: drink 3 cups of coffee sweetened like ice cream because that sugar boost is the only thing keeping me moving. 3: have a grilled cheese party. Okay so feel free to skip steps 1 and 2, even though I...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Snickers Cake
Okay even I know I crossed the line on this one. In fact I went so far, I can’t even see the line. Oops? For Stephanie’s birthday, how could I not make a cake inspired by her Snicker’s obsession? Well I couldn’t, so that’s just what I did. Using the chocolate-peanut-caramel candy as inspiration, I set forth to create a cake that would capture the infamous combo in...

Well, this is a recipe that I’d like to have on my Thanksgiving dessert table. It captures the flavors of the fall harvest, warms your soul, and would be the perfect table companion for a pumpkin pie. So...

Vanilla Cupcakes
So now that I’m officially settled in my new kitch, it’s time to get down to business. That quinoa was like the warm up, and now we’re really digging our heels into the legit thing. When you think of house warming what do you think of? Unless you’re thinking of cupcakes, then you’re wrong. To me, cupcakes are home. Nothing greets you better then a simply sweet,...

Lobster Roll
Okay I have to finally come to terms with the fact that summer is over. This means bye bye juicy peaches, summer strawberries, sweet corn, and lots of lobster. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but this summer lobsters were available like no other. Large lobsters were being sold all summer long for less then $6 a LB! Think about getting a 2 lb. lobster at a restaurant and then think...

Chicken Cacciatore
I know I already have a recipe posted for this, but I like this one better. It’s spicier, offers more of a flavor kick, and is just downright divine. Chicken Cacciatore, also known as “Hunter’s Chicken” is a hearty, soul-warming Italian dish that has a comfort level of 1,000. Eating a plate of this atop spaghetti is the more delicious equivalent of you eating Cup-O-Noodles...

Cinnamon Raisin French Toast
When I was little I was one of those weird kids that loved going to school. Strange, I know. I loved getting dressed in non-matching totally color non-coordinated outfits, putting bows the size of my body in my hair, and carrying around my hot pink *obviously* backpack. I think another reason I loved going to school was because of breakfast. Whether it be a pile of fluffy pancakes, some cheesy...

Spaghetti with Marinara, Cherry Tomatoes, and...
Nothing screams family like a massive bowl of hearty pasta. That was my mentality for dinner the other night. I’m getting ready to head back to school and was feeling sentimental towards my family and wanted to make them a dinner that would evoke feelings of warm love and home. And that’s just what this dish does, with a little kick of course. A deliciously simple marinara gets a jolt...

Truffle Mushroom Ricotta Tart
One of the to-do’s on my bucket list, inspired by Ali the most truffle obsessed person I know, is to go truffle hunting with pigs in the forests of France. A little far-fetched? Maybe. But hey it’s my list and I do what I want. Well, if you weren’t aware, truffles are very hard to come by and extremely expensive. In the culinary world, they’re the equivalent to diamonds:...

Simple Bread Loaf with Salted Honey Butter
It’s been a while, I know, but I am BACK from vaycay and ready to bake/cook/eat my heart out at home for these last two weeks of summer. SO GET READY. As summer comes to a close I want to celebrate the good things in life. Well, there are few things in life that are better then homemade, fresh baked bread.There is absolutely nothing that can beat tearing into a still-warm-from-the-oven,...

Sugar Cookies
In my world, Sugar Cookies = love. There’s just something about a simple Sugar Cookie that somehow translates into real feelings. It’s got a simple message; it’s a gift that is purely sweet. For this reason, I just had to make sugar cookies for two occasions, because when people eat these they know you love them. The first: visiting the summer camp I worked at for the past 2...

Lemon Meringue Pie
Lately my days have been pretty interesting. Now that I’m done working, I usually wake up, do some errands, work out if I can motivate, and then spend the afternoon making some kind of concoction. Not a bad set-up, right? I recently made a list of all the things I want to make before the summer is over and believe me when I say it is delightfully and deliciously long. Well when it came time...

Chimichurri Skirt Steak
Tonight for dinner I made some serious magic. After going to the butcher and picking up some beautiful mammoth-sized skirt steaks, I started brainstorming ideas on how to cook them I wanted to somehow make the steak summery and light, as it was just too hot for heaviness. And then, it came to me, a chimichurri. Originally from Argentina, chimichurri is an herb based marinade and/or sauce that will...

Raspberry Muffins
Let’s just stop kidding ourselves now. Who in the world came up with the idea that muffins were an okay breakfast food? Honestly, muffins are an excuse to eat dessert for breakfast. Somehow by changing the name, throwing in some fruit, and replacing the frosting with a crumble topping, it is socially acceptable to eat cupcakes in the morning. Whoever did invent this, I thank and praise you...

Dulce de Leche Filled Salted Caramel Cupcakes
It’s been a long sweet, sweet week. A week full of massive amounts of sugar, multiple pounds of butter, bowls of frosting, and too many licked spoon. Needless to say, I think its been a success and I officially feel like my birthday has properly been celebrated. How do we end a deliciously sugary week? With somewhat of a bitter sweet note. You can’t end the sweetest week of the year...

Red Velvet Cupcakes
Okay so you had to know this was coming. This couldn’t be known as “the week of cupcakes” without Red Velvets. I don’t dare call myself a master cupcake connoisseur without having them in my repertoire simply because they are one of everyone’s favorites. Recently, however, I’ve seen so many versions that are just so WRONG and its driving me crazy. Does anyone...

Truffle Cupcakes
How do you make a chocolate cupcake better? Put more chocolate in it. DUH. For day 5 of our cupcake bender, we are taking chocolate to the extreme. I’m a chocoholic. I would eat, drink, sleep, breathe chocolate every day if I could (on some days I do). Chocolate is what love tastes like. For this reason, I took one of the most rich and indulgent chocolates I know, Lindor Truffles, and...

Oreo Bomb Cupcakes
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Its my birthday, I’m 20 and I’m just going to have to deal with it. Sigh. Well, as a personal birthday present from me to moi, I’ve decided to make a cupcake featuring one of my favorite things. Its not just one of MY favorite things, its one of everyone’s favorite things. I mean come on, who doesn’t like Oreos? If you don’t like Oreos then...

Snickers Cupcakes
Please don’t tell me you’re getting sick of cupcakes yet because we are still just getting started. Tomorrow is my birthday so I thought today’s cupcake should be something daringly decadent to mark my last day of being 19. Sometimes transitions can be made a little easier with a something super sweet. Why? Because if that something is sweet enough it will temporarily leave you...

SO get ready to be swarmed. These aren’t ordinary cupcakes either. These are over the top, sinful, mouthwatering lil cakes that take cupcakes to a whole new level. Also, because I’m...

Ice Cream Sundae Cupcakes
Alright, birthday celebration for me ROUND 2. When I was brainstorming for my next cupcake fiasco I took inspiration from something I hold dearly to my heart: ice cream. I’m that girl that orders the ice cream sundae/banana split. If you’re going for ice cream, GO BIG OR GO HOME. These cupcakes are summery, fun, and make the perfect dessert for a hot sunny BBQ or a scorching pool day....

Mairzy Doats: Oatmeal, Coconut, Blueberry Cookies
Its been a while, I know, and I’m here to deliver you a peace offering as a form of apology. Hope you’ll forgive me. I was ITCHING to bake and was rummaging through my pantry taking inventory of my ingredients when I started pulling out things that looked promising. A container of oats. A ziplock of dried blueberries. A package of sweetened shredded coconut. What to do, what to...

Grilled Corn and BLT Lettuce Wraps
It’s hot. Like really hot. And sometimes when its hot and you’re hungree you just don’t know what to do. Sandwiches just seem too heavy, burgers are like a death sentence, but a regular salad just won’t be satisfying enough. Talk about a dilemma #hungreegirlproblems. Well, consider you’re situation amended because I’m here to solve this problem for you. Here is...

Mango Curried Chicken Salad
There’s something about Curried Chicken Salad that I just love. It’s bright in both color and flavor, gives a pungent kick, and is full of mix-ins of different textures that make for a great bite. B and I decided to make ourselves a nice refreshing healthy lunch, and because I know she’s also a major CC (curried chicken) lover, I thought I’d whip us up a batch. While I had...

More in this case means coco krispie treats mixed with m&m’s with a layer of oreos and chocolate. Can you say #nom? Cause I can. Prepare to be the most popular person at your bake sale.

Poached Egg with Mozzarella over Seared Onions
Kels and I woke up and we wanted eggs. But we wanted so many different types of eggs, that it was decided that this morning would be known as “eggapalooza.” We’re talking sunny side up, fried, scrambled, and poached. We wanted them all. My favorite creation from the morning was simple, elegant, yet utterly delicious and extremely rich. Seared onions are topped with a fluffy...

Blueberry Crumble Cake & Blueberry Crumble French...
My mom had invited some people over for dinner and I took it upon myself to be in charge of dessert. DUH. I was having trouble deciding what to make. It was just too hot for chocolate, but I was sick of making fruity crumbles and crisps, and I didn’t feel like making a pie either. Then it hit me: fruit cake. Okay I know what you’re thinking, fruit cake? EW. NOBODY LIKES FRUIT CAKE ITS...

Raspberry Peach Pie
Raspberry Peach Pie, a combination of two of my absolute FAVORITE summer fruits tucked inside a buttery flakey pie crust. Yum please. The crust is easy, the filling couldn’t be more simple, and it all turns into a magical wonder of bubbling fruit and doughy pastry. The raspberries and peaches meld together creating a marriage of tanginess and sweetness that is only heightened once baked....

M&M Cookies
In the need for a snack/dessert/fix? Look no further. After one batch of these, they will be adopted as your go to cookies. Want to be the star best-seller of the bake sale? MAKE THESE. Crispy on the edges, gooey in the middle, and M&M covered all over, these cookies are the biggest tease. If you can avoid eating the batter, that would be best, because trust me when I say you will not stop....

Apricot Glazed Chicken
This weekend my girls Bron, Neesh, and Dre are here to visit and I wanted to welcome them with a homey meal that would make their travel seem worthwhile **seeing me is worthwhile nonetheless.** Sifting through the grocery store yesterday I came to the jelly aisle and wandered past the selections, but came to a stop when I saw the apricot preserves. It got me thinking, and this deeelish dish was...

Summer Strawberry Crisp
Hungree Girl has taken her second trip to the Hamptons and has learned something VERY important: they have INCREDIBLE fresh berries. Right now is prime time strawberry season and when Ali brought me to a local farm stand and showed me the fresh berries, well we knew we had to utilize the heavenly babies in some magnificent way. We wanted it to be simple, light, yet totally delicious and something...

Inside Out Burger
The sun was out and shining, the pool was cool and refreshing, and the bros were hungree. This meant one thing: time 2 grill. Who wants to be cooped up inside slaving over a hot stove when you can be chilling and grilling outside enjoying the beautiful weather? Well, nothing goes better with a lovely summer day then some bomb burgers. JJ had been requesting burgers all morning so I decided to...

Shakshuka
Besides being a fun word to say, Shakshuka is beyond delicious. I had never heard of it before I went to Kanella a few months ago, and thats when the love affair began. A traditional Israeli dish, Shakshuka is made up of poached eggs in a flavorful and spicy tomatoe sauce. Poached eggs are my favorite style of eggs, and when they are poached in a homemade and spiced sauce, they take on a whole new...

Oreo Cheesecake
A cake that boosts your popularity? Huh? Keep reading. This post is actually hard to write because instead of writing about this creation, I’d rather be eating it. Yes I’ve made many good things before, but to be honest, this has to be one of the best. Its moist and dense beyond belief, and combines tangy and chocolatey flavors that result in an insane bite. This cake is literally...
Strawberry Not-So-Shortcake
Every birthday needs to be celebrated with a MASSIVE, **emphasis on the massive** and delectable birthday cake. Its just not a birthday without one. Theres just something about cutting into a thick layer cake smothered with fluffy frosting that makes the day 10 times sweeter. Well, tomorrow is Cole’s birthday, and Kelsey, also a major proponent of the massive birthday cake, and I decided to...

Outta this Galaxy Brownies (Milky Way brownies)
To infinity and BEYOND! No joke, these brownies are not only out of this world, but out of this galaxy. Completely chocolatey and fudgy with a gooey caramel layer of Milky Ways in between, you will find yourself being transported into a whole new dimension after just one bite. They’re richer THAN *thank you grammar police* anything you’ve ever tasted and may temporarily put you in a...

Mexican Grilled Corn
Ever since summer has sprung, my lil bro JJ has been requesting that I make corn, and since I’m home for one night I decided to appease him. This is not just any corn that he is requesting, however, but is “the corn from that Mexican place I like”-JJ. Well, considering that they have some rendition of grilled corn at every Mexican restaurant we go to and I couldn’t figure...

Cinnamon Buns
The other night I had a dream, and while I don’t remember exactly what the dream was about, I remember that it involved cinnamon buns. Ever since the dream, they’ve been on my mind. I thought back to all the cinnamon buns I’ve had: a few great, many good, and TONS bad. Now that they were stuck in my head, I wanted a GREAT one and I wanted to make it myself. I was craving that...
The First Dinner
Like I said in my previous post, I’m back at school in Philly. BUT this time things are different because I’m living in a house and am no longer deprived of a kitchen. All I can say is, finally. Tonight, my bff Cole, **aka Chef Stern** and I decided to break in the kitchen and cook for some friends. We shopped all day, slaved all night, and then actually feasted. Cole and I have...

Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Scones
After four, LONG, liquid-filled, and chewless days, my juice cleanse finally ends tomorrow. Seriously, Thank God. To celebrate, I decided that the moment I awake, I want to be greeted with fresh baked scones. So, I thought I’d make them today so I can get to the eating quicker tomorrow, ya know wha I mean? Very strategic, I know. Oh, also, this is the easiest recipe in the world and actually...

Lemon Raspberry Squares
This is my apology to those of you who aren’t into the whole “cleansing” deal. Here is a recipe that is bound to make up for this because they are the exact opposite of a cleanse. But hey, they taste kind of light and have some fruit in them so not horrible. Think Key Lime Pie turned lemon raspberry. YUM. A sweet and crumbly graham cracker crust topped with a fresh raspberry and...
