October Apples
It was easy to tell when it was time to start preparing for the annual Apple Butter making ritual. The leaves would start to show a hint of color as the nights got cooler. Soon the first hard freeze would bring out Autumn in all its colorful beauty. Labor Day weekend was a distant memory as the calendar stated it was time to prepare for Halloween. The second week of October was usually unseasonably warm during the day with cold nights which was perfect weather to put the finishing touches on the apple orchards and their bounty.

Ganache Techniques
As a chocolatier, I use ganache in many of the recipes and demonstrations I share online so I thought I should produce an easy how to guide covering some of the ratio options for ganache.

Guide to Grilling Pizza
Pizza is one of those things that most people tend to have pretty strong opinions about – especially when it comes to grilling pizza. Most pizza purists will tell you that the best pizzas ever will be oven-fired, made with homemade dough, and topped with the freshest Italian goodies you can find on the market. Or, they may tell you that pizza's only really available in New York City.

Healthy Dessert Recipes
People tend to approach healthy dessert recipes with an air of skepticism. Healthy desserts? Seems like a contradictory statements. Desserts are meant to be sugary and sweet. How can any dessert be healthy?

Bacon Maple Cheesecake
When we opened Third & Vine back in February of 2014 I originally planned to change the cheesecake flavor with the season. However, everyone loved this one so much we decided there was no way it could come off the menu. It became our signature dessert and although I am no longer the chef at Third & Vine I know they will always keep it.

Easy Lunches That Satisfy
Lunch might just be one of the most difficult meals of the day. Satisfying dinners are easy to whip up, as are built-up breakfasts. It's possible to get a stick-to-your-ribs dinner or lunch that also doesn't pack a powerful punch in the diet department.

Kitchen Hacks for Beginners
Cooking isn't easy, and if you don't believe it, look at how many Pinterest memes have been made based on botched recipes. What makes it worse for many would-be Gordon Ramsays is that the most complex recipes all seem to taste the best.

Salmon with Pineapple Salsa. Top Story - May 2017.
We are girls who love fish and seafood. Lyssie is obsessed with sardines, to put it mildly (she could eat them at every meal and be happy as a clam.) Tammy tends to think that it’s not only the taste that Lyssie loves, and that they’re a great source of inflammation-fighting omega-3s, but she feels like we have a lot in common with the little guys since we’re small too –only 5-foot-2, and that’s on a good day. 😊

#brokebitchmeals
Step 1: Be incredibly broke, even if you feel like you’re living within your means. Even if you’re not broke, pretend you are. Hook up your freezer. Stock pile your pantry with canned goods and ingredients every time you hit the grocery store like a massive crisis is going to rock everyone’s shit any second and you’ll be happy you’ve squirreled away all this stuff.

Lobster Fondue
I love this recipe for a party. It is elegant, delicious, and can be served on a buffet family style or served in individual portion sizes for a more formal dinner party. Aside from the lobster it is pretty cost effective and I have always found it to be a crowd pleaser. I recently made it as a special for my restaurant and the guests LOVED it. I hope you enjoy it!

BBQ Rubs and Crusts
What is a Rub? A rub is a spice and/or herb mixture that is added to foods before cooking. Generally, there are two main types of rub, a dry rub and a wet rub. Rubs are most often used in barbecue and grilling because they can stick to meats when grilled or smoked. Most rubs start with salt and sugar, after that just about anything can be added. Rubs have become the great secret ingredient.
