Delish In A Pinch

Tellicherry Short Ribs
What do a Chef, a daughter, Tellicherry short ribs, Cabbage Patch dolls, and Tonka Trucks have in common? Well, my friends click away and see. Insight into one of the biggest influential people to this Delish In A Pincher!

Red Velvet Brownie Bars
These red velvet brownies hit the delish factor and almost broke the scale. Not being a huge fan of Red Velvet, these brownies really surprised me as I noticed myself going back for more and more, and did I mention more!


Chocolate Bouchons
Chocolate Bouchons, an example of a mother’s excitement of sharing her love of food with her daughter and grandson. This is so decadent and perfectly sized for an overwhelming yet perfect chocolatey explosion of flavor.

Tomato Onion Goat Cheese Crostata
What happens when leek meets red onion and they dance with goat cheese and heirloom tomatoes? Spicy, Sweet, tangy, creamy deliciousness, and this Crostata of course!

Chocolate Chip Malt Scones
Milk Chocolate and Malt meet in a scone. The two create a beautiful sweet scone together and you understand why chocolate and malt are the ultimate flavor combo! Cheers to Malt and Milk Chocolate!

Buttercup Lemon Cake
Lemon Buttercup Cake! These are delightful and delicious! We are all knee-deep in summer here and in summer we embrace the LEMONS!
Easy Peasy Summer Salad
A post on salads? Of course a post on salads!
I have been asked time and time again for ideas on salad dressings, salad mixings, and salad base.
One post to answer the call.

Little Chef’s Imperial Tie Fighter S’mores and Ice Cream Sandwiches
My first blog post! I am referred to as Little Chef. You will get to know me as I am going to pop in here from time to time. I have baked up Imperial Tie Defender Ice cream sandwiches and S’mores! This was a fun project!

Crackers to Crumbles
Making crackers was the objective and the outcome was crumbles.
Who shares a recipe for a crumble? Well me of course! IT WAS THAT DELICIOUS!

Beet Ketchup
What is Juneteenth? My son asked.
“How are we going to celebrate?”
“We are making all things red, red red,” I said.

Shaken or Stirred?
If a cocktail contains any opaque or cloudy ingredients, such as fruit juices, egg, or cream it should be shaken vigorously.
If a cocktail consists entirely of transparent ingredients spirits, vermouth, sweeteners, bitters, then it should be stirred.

Butter Beer Smashup
Here it comes the Butter Beer Smashup. Completely a concoction of pure perfection! The butterscotch melts so easily into the creamy vanilla soda and the rum (extract) cuts the sweetness to on a molecular level achieving the perfect sip.

Banana Chocolate Walnut Bread
Have you ever had bananas staring at you? You know, there will be 2-3 left and they kinda just stare you down. You walk by them and they taunt you. I don’t blame them as they are a bit old and weary and absolutely perfect for banana bread. hah!

Bad Batch Cookies
This sugar cookie recipe is a hit!! I will be using this over and over again for a sugar cookie base. Bad Batch you have nothing on Delish In A Pinch. Armed and ready to take on this Star Wars bunch.

Ricotta Cavatelli
Ricotta and pasta are beautiful mix. Ricotta is the special secret in making the cavatelli tender. Just savory and warm especially for a rainy spring day. This is a fun pasta to make with the kiddos. A fun and cathartic process. In saying that make sure you give yourself the time to do it.

My True Blue Pizza Dough
Elevate this pizza dough by adding an infused olive oil. For instance orange, tuscan herb and truffle. A nice hint of flavor in every bite.

Redemption Banana Pudding
Maybe, if I had a DeLorean I could go back and time and well…not eavesdrop on my son?!

Credibility Cookies and Latte
What does credibility mean to you? Does one lose it when they step out of the workforce? When do they regain it? How? A look into my journey…Let’s reflect as we eat some M&M cookies 🤪

A Logo of Garlic Bread
This garlic bread took me by surprise. In fact so much so that I made it my logo! Look at the Delish In A Pinch logo, it is this bread in the background.
