I do believe that one of the many beauties of food is that we are constantly able to have new experiences by either trying new foods while out or cooking something new. Now, I don’t remember the first time I tried Gruyere, but it was a beautiful moment. It’s the cheese I tell others…

The Beauty of Pimento Cheese…
I just remembered that I never posted the November 2012 article I wrote for the November issue of our local magazine here. Enjoy you guys! December will be posted in the next couple of days! *smiles* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There aren’t many moments when I went to Maw-Maw’s house and didn’t see a plastic container of homemade…
It’s not funny…I’m serious. Laughing Cow Cheese Alfredo
Well I started thinking after posting tonight’s meal on The Onyx Plate’s Facebook page (that you can find by clicking here) that it wasn’t too fair for me not to provide you with my recipe for Laughing Cow Alfredo. It’s just too good not to try. This is honestly one of my favorite meals that…
More Bacon Please! Bacon Biscuit Muffins
Confused? Yeah…me too. But, I couldn’t find a better name for these little guys. I posted very recently about the BEC Pockets, and the day before I had made these Bacon Biscuit Muffins. Don’t worry, I don’t eat like this normally. It sure is nice though to get up on the weekend and have time…
BEC Breakfast Pouches–Perfection!
It’s no secret that I LOVE bacon…however, I try not to keep it around so often, because I could literally consume so much it would be very bad for my health. It’s also no secret that I like to experiment with wrapping food in doughs for breakfast. Sooo…this leads me to today’s recipe. I had…
Will Cook for Foo–Week 11: Dave and Puff…Pastry.
Before we begin…if you aren’t that interested in the Foo Fighters posts that I write (which you should be, because the Foo Fighters are awesome! *smiles*), I highly suggest you scroll down for the recipe I created…”The Other Wellington”. There comes a time, hopefully more often than not, that we as a people are blessed…
Picky Eaters: Are they really that Picky?
Since I am on vacation for a few days coming up, I asked a few of the fans on The Onyx Plate’s Facebook page (click here to go and become a “fan”) what they wanted to see me write about. One wise individual suggested Picky Eaters. I thought and thought about how to write about…
Did you miss National Cheese Day???
Well, if you did…It’s not a big deal. There’s always today. *smiles* It seems that we have become – or have always been – a cheese loving world. There are days all around to celebrate cheese. See below for a list I found through this site…(Disclaimer: Some of these are quite wacky, and I’m not…
Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Croissant Roll – How can you miss with this one?
I never feel like I have told you enough about the wonders of the croissant roll. They are endlessly diverse masterpieces that can forever change the way you look at meals. I love love love putting things in them and rolling them up for a nice bake in the oven. The creativity never stops flowing with…
A taste of Louisiana…
I would love to think we all enjoy trying new things. Some more than others. But, I know I am at the top of the list with this lately. A really good friend of mine went to Mardi Gras this year. She asked me if I wanted her to bring anything back for me to…
Feeling Hot??? Cinco de Mayo Main Course…
For the tortilla wraps, all I did was wrap up sautéed peppers, onions and shredded chicken with a little cheese. Then I baked them. Obviously, they came out looking like Hot Pockets. But, oh were they delicious! Just like the previous post on layered dips, this is something easily customizable for your own palate. Enjoy!…
First up: The Cinco de Mayo App
