Gougéres! I'd never even heard of them until I made them. They are a fun little bite that tastes best warm right out of the oven...if you ask me. This is recipe 99! Just a few more to post before this adventure is over! . #thenovicelifeblog #debperelman #smittenkitchen #cookingthroughacookbookseries#recipe99#bluecheeseandblackpeppergougeres

My head is in Whole30 mode and I keep forgetting to post the next recipe 😬 so while I remember my routine a bit more here's some sub par pics of what we're eating these days! . #whole30 #whole30jumbalaya #whole30sweetpotatobreakfastbowl #whole30lettucewraps #whole30sweetpotatotoast #whole30buffalochickencasserole #whole30steaksalad

Another appetizer for you! These tasty guys come together quick like any good appetizer should 👍 I did these a few weekends ago and we snacked on them for a day till they were all gone! Kind of nice to have nibbly food when you're stuck at home. 🥚 Have I mentioned I already finished the Cookbook?! Not celebrating quiet yet because I need to get these posts written up but I'm so proud of myself for getting these last 10 done so we could start our Whole30 journey this past Monday! Still planning to get these posted about one per week but maybe alongside some Whole30 recipe referrals for things we're loving. That's confusing but thank you for rolling with me! 🥚 I already have my eyes on a few new cookbooks and they may just be all Whole30ish! We'll see :) . #cookingthroughacookbookseries #thenovicelifeblog #debperelman #smittenkitchen #deviledeggs #smokeydeviledeggs #smokeydeviledeggswithcrispedjamónandcrushedmarconas #marconas #jamón #paprika

We are on day 4 of Whole30 and just loving the food we get to eat. We're following @40aprons meal plan which perfectly lays out 3 meals a day for 30 days. She gives you grocery lists and recipe links for everything she has you cook and there's not one recipe we haven't loved and would make over and over again. I feel so organized with meals mapped out like this for every day and I so appreciate the ease of it once you've done your shopping. I stocked up on the pantry items we needed from @thrivemarket and @sprouts and @costco per recommendations 👍. Click the #linkinbio to get this recipe link (click the Instagram Link Menu once on my site). Can't wait for more!! 🥘 #whole30 #tomkhagai #40aprons #thaifood #soup #whole30recipes #whole30mealplan #zucchini #thenovicelifeblog #newtowhole30 #day4whole30

Yum! It's my husband's birthday today and he's asked for Baked Alaska for a few years now and it's always intimidated me. Meringue alone makes me nervous because I never get it right! But gosh I nailed this today! It was a lot of fun too. I will definitely make this again. Click the link in my profile to get @livforcake recipe...just click on the Instagram Links menu. . #bakedalaska #smores #smoresbakedalaska #livforcakes #meringue #thenovicelife #thenovicelifeblog #recipetester

Well I have a hard time recommending these because I'm just on a fan of rye bread. But if you loved rye bread like my husband doesn't this is a recipe you might want to try :-) I thought it was really fun to make my own breadsticks because who has ever really tried to do that before?! I guess I want to play with the flavors of this recipe and see if I can find something that's a little more exciting to me! Check out the #linkinprofile for the recipe to try this at home. . #thesmittenkitchencookbook #smittenkitchencookbook #cookingthroughacookbook #horseradish #grissini #pumpernickel #breadsticks #cremefraîche #debperlman #thenovicelife #thenovicelifeblog

A yummy kickoff to this FINAL CHAPTER in @debperelman 's @smittenkitchen Cookbook! This appetizer chapter is something I've been looking forward to for awhile and a fun way to finish this 2014 New Year's resolution. 🥜 These were a tasty and tempting thing to have around the house this week and quite the arm work out if you're looking for one👌 🥜 Recipe can be found on my blog, #linkinprofile on the main feed or from the Instagram Links menu at the top. 🥜 #debperlman #smittenkitchencookbook #spicybrittledpeanuts #debperlmanspicybrittlespeanuts #appetizers #cookingthroughacookbook #newyearsresolution #thenovicelife #thenovicelifeblog #peanuts #cocktailpeanuts #brittledpeanuts #snacks

Coffee Toffee! The last recipe of this chapter and that means I'm done with desserts! One more chapter to go and I'll have cooked and baked my way through the entire cookbook! How should I celebrate when it's all over?! . #linkinprofile for the recipe from @smittenkitchen (click the Instagram Links Menu on my site). . #debperlman #thesmittenkitchencookbook #smittemkitchencoffeetoffee #coffee #coffeetoffee #espressopowder #toffee #dessert #desserts #candy #holidaycandy #coffeelover #coffeelovers #thenovicelife #thenovicelifeblog #cookingthroughacookbook

Saw this one come up on @smittenkitchen recently and made sure to stuck it in my @prepearapp ASAP! I've just been waiting to get some coconut and today's the day I was able to make it! in my head I thought breakfast bread but this is as much of a desert as anything else. She suggest you use of brown butter spread on it which I still need to make 🤤 but does regular salted butter does just fine for right now! . Grab the recipe from The Smitten Kitchen or use the link in my profile to get it from the Instagram Links menu! #coconutbread #coconut #bread #debperlman #thesmittenkitchen #breakfast #dessert #summerbaking #thenovicelife #thenovicelifeblog
