Stuffed Cinnamon Roll Bites
A few months ago I entered the Pillsbury bake-off challenge. Quite a bit of time has passed and I haven’t heard anything, I am assuming that my recipe did not make the cut. I didn’t share my recipe originally because I had high hopes that I would make finals, but obviously I was wrong..haha. Luckily, I know that my recipe was delicious and now I can share it with all of you to make at home. I would also like to let Pillsbury know that they are missing out!
Featured Foodie Friday: Healthy Foodie Travels
Happy Friday everyone! I would like to announce that I am officially a college graduate! Since I graduated in the fall (a semester early!) the ceremony was very small, which was nice. I only knew one girl graduating with me, but I also had the chance to talk to my professor who inspired me to create this blog. We can all thank Mindy for the creation and continuance of Savour the Senses! But back on topic, Friday means time to featured another fellow foodie. This week we have Kiri from Healthy Foodie Travels with a simple, healthy recipe for you all. With that, I give you Kiri:
Chinese Chilled Soy-Glazed Asparagus and Shrimp w/ Warm Tomato Sauce
Shrimp Crostini w/ Artichoke Tapenade- SRC Post
Today is, yet again, the reveal day for Secret Recipe Club! I have been up to my ears trying to finish up school and get everything together to graduate while also preparing for my move to Hawaii in January. Needless to say I have hardly had any time to cook or come up with new recipes of my own. Luckily, Secret Recipe Club gave me a great blog this month to browse, which led me to a new festive recipe for the holidays.
Featured Foodie Friday: My Naturally Frugal Family
I don’t know about you, but here in Colorado it has been snowy, snowy, snowy. This past Tuesday was in the negatives in Boulder! With winter in full effect, I find myself constantly wanting soup. If this is how you feel as well, you are in luck! This week we have Rachel from My Naturally Frugal Family guest posting with us. She has a delicious, simple soup that you can whip up quickly for those cold nights. With that, please welcome Rachel:
Vegetable Noodle Soup from My Naturally Frugal Family
Crispy Baked Salmon w/ Avocado Remoulade
It is official. I am done with college assignments for EVER! I am so excited to be done. Without school to think about, I was able to cook up a storm last weekend while dog sitting for my parents’ 8-month-old golden retriever, Ellie. The great thing about cooking in my mom’s kitchen is that her pantry is always stocked and she has the greatest food photo lighting tools and accessories. This recipe was a little experiment that I did with my avocados while there.
Kale Chips
It has finally hit me that I will be leaving Colorado in just about one month. I was born and raised in Colorado. I grew up with the mountains and snow sports. I had my heart set of going to college out of state, but when the time came I found myself sticking around for the mountains. I have lived in the mountains each winter while in college and have molded my life around snowboarding. With graduation only about a week away, I am still in shock. First, I can’t believe I am already graduating (a semester early!). Second, I can’t believe that I am moving to the BEACH!
Featured Foodie Friday: The Cultural Dish
It is Friday (again already!?) and that means time to feature another fellow foodie! This week we have Elyse from The Cultural Dish. Elyse is a great baker and chef; she is always posting unique dessert ideas that I love! Hopefully you all have gotten over your food coma from Thanksgiving and are ready for some December sweets! With that, I give you Elyse:
Chocolate Ganache Tart w/ Hazelnut Crumbles from The Cultural Dish
Herbed Lemon-Pomegranate Mahi Mahi
This week I had a fresh pomegranate for the first time. I know that probably sounds crazy but I had only eaten pomegranate flavored things before, never an actual pomegranate. At first, I struggled with peeling it correctly and getting all the good stuff out. Once I had all the seeds out, I could not stop snacking even though I knew I needed them for this recipe! I found this recipe from Clean Eating magazine on the Kahakai Kitchen blog.
Apple Pie Crumble Muffins with Streusel Topping
I am so excited for today! Today is the beginning to a great new tradition on Savour the Senses, Featured Foodie Friday. Each week I will feature a recipe from a fellow food blogger. I am hoping that this new tradition will help you find lots more food blogs to follow! To kick off our tradition, I have Ali from Quarter Life Crisis. Ali is much like me, a twenty-something girl trying to figure out what she is doing with her life and loving every minute of it! Her recipe is definitely a winner for the winter holidays coming up! With that said, I bring you Ali:
Apple Pie Crumble Muffins from Quarter Life Crisis
Green Olive Hummus
Every so often I reminisce of my childhood eating habits and laugh. I used to be the pickiest eater. I only liked fruit, meat, peas, corn and potatoes. I would never try things and was always skeptical. In the last two years, I have grown to like almost every food and now am always eager to try new things. One of my newest obsessions is hummus. I had hummus for the first time last spring, made it for the first time this fall and am now addicted.
