About a year ago, someone made me promise to make my New Year’s Resolution to update my blog at least twice a month (one recipe, and one review). I hope I have made him proud. I think 2014 was a great year for The Broke Baker, and I think 2015 will be just as good.
Eggnog Creme Brulee
Skip to Recipe Is there any beverage more “holiday” than eggnog? I didn’t think so. Take that, Pumpkin Spiced Lattes! To be honest, I don’t actually drink eggnog too much. I do, however, enjoy the occasional scoop of eggnog ice cream around this time of year. That was the inspiration for this creme brulee. I
Don Mofongo (A Review)
It’s been a while since the food truck craze took off in South Florida. Yet, I haven’t exactly visited very many of them myself. That is kind of a shame, considering the massive amounts of comfort food that these trucks promise. As a food blogger, it was a big failure on my part to ignore
Reese’s Cake
Skip to Recipe Let’s face it – it was only a matter of time before it happened. The candy bar bug has bit me again. After the success of my two previous candy bar cakes (Kit Kat Cake and Twix Cake, anyone?), I just KNEW that I had to keep the streak going. Since I’ve
Chef Adrianne’s (A Review)
For South Floridians, the mention of gourmet food will rarely bring to mind the Kendall area. Yet, tucked away out west in Kendall is Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant and Wine Bar. It features upscale food with a “wine country” vibe. The restaurant is attached to a tiny strip mall, and is easy to miss if
Taste of Peru 2014
Taste of Peru, the third in my annual Holy Trinity of Peruvian Gastronomic Festivals, returned yet again. Last year, I was underwhelmed by the turnout. This year, the Peruvians in Miami turned out in full force. Even better, some new vendors made an appearance at the venue. It was truly a testament to the growing
Burgerliscious 2014
Burgerliscious is back for another year of burger mayhem. Burgerliscious, in which participating Coral Gables restaurants complete to see who makes the best burger, drew a big crowd. As usual, I had to get in on the action and sample what each restaurant had to offer at Burgerliscious 2014.
Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes
It’s that time of the year when pumpkin treats pop up everywhere. And, since my job recently hosted a craft fair, I thought it would be nice to feature an item that was pumpkin-flavored. So, I made mini pumpkin bundt cakes. You can easily scale this recipe up and make one, large bundt cake. However,
DB Bistro Moderne (A Review)
Miami Spice has come and gone. Yet, being the procrastinator that I am, I still have a backlog of restaurant reviews. Forgive me, all, for I have failed in my quest to keep you all informed of the deliciousness that Miami has to offer. A friend of mine specifically requested that we try a French
M.E.A.T. Eatery and Taproom (A Review)
Burgers are, in many ways, the perfect food. I mean, you can get all of the food groups in one bite. That practically makes them health food, right!? Yes? Of course. But, as easy as it is to justify stuffing a burger in my face, finding a stellar burger is not always easy. Here at The
