With flavors of pineapple, coconut, mango and lime, you'll transport yourself to the Caribbean with this easy tropical fruit salad. My mom and I joke that we were born in the wrong country. We love tropical everything. Tropical flowers, tropical weather, tropical music, and especially tropical flavors. If you walked into my mother's basement, you'd …

Yes, Philadelphia is the home of the cheesesteak, but did you also know that Philadelphia is known for its tomato pie: foccacia bread topped with a thick tomato sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. I was born, raised, and still live in Philadelphia. I've actually never lived anywhere else. Philadelphia is a city of …
Eating tasty food at home doesn't have to be expensive! This homemade shrimp fried rice costs just $2.30 per serving! Today's #SundaySupper is all about eating on a budget. Even though the economy is (slowly) rebounding, many people (myself included) need watch their finances carefully. But eating inexpensively doesn't have to mean instant ramen. This homemade …
These corn and mild cherry pepper quesadillas are a take on elotes — a Mexican street food of corn on the cob, rubbed with chili, a squeeze of lime, and coated in cheese. Earlier this month, I threw a Mexican fiesta in honor of Dave's birthday. We had a taco bar (seasoned ground beef; chipotle honey …
Have you caught sriracha fever yet? You can make this low-calorie, low-fat condiment at home! Have you heard about sriracha? For about a year, I saw it mentioned everywhere, but had no idea what it was, or even how to pronounce the word. What is it? It's pronounced "see-rah-cha", and it's a kind of hot sauce, made from …
It's almost Cinco de Mayo, the unofficial holiday of tacos and margaritas! Okay, it's really the commemoration of American freedom and democracy in the American West by Mexican Americans. Or, like Saint Patrick's Day when everyone is a little bit Irish, it's the day that everyone is a little bit Mexican. Did you know that the …
The last guest post for American Beer Week is from Ashley, who blogs at Cheese Curd in Paradise. She focused on local ingredients in her dish, Beer and Bacon Carbonara. October 27th is American Beer Day and, in honor of this holiday (yes, holiday!), I am so pleased to guest post for Coleen, The Redhead Baker. I …
**Taking a semi-break from food talk today. If you're here for the recipes only, please stop back on Wednesday!** I'm now 16 weeks along! According to TheBump.com, our little Pumpkin (our nickname for the baby since he/she is due in late October) is the size of an avocado. I've had a much easier time eating …
It's time for another Munchkin Meals, hosted by A Healthy Slice of Life! There have been lots of changes the The Redhead Baker household lately. I have been working part-time from home since Liam was about 5 months old. I was able to work during his naps and after he went to bed, so Liam …

The Natural Resources Defense Council recently published a study that Americans waste 40% of the country's food supply every year. That 40% is spread across food that is thrown out at the source (the farm, plant, etc.), at home and in restaurants, but the average family throws away 20 pounds of food per person, per …
My baby turned 9 months old on Tuesday. His 9-month well-baby check-up is later today, so I will update with his stats next week. Before I get to a typical day of Liam's eats, I wanted to share this photo from last weekend. We decided spur-of-the-moment to go out for lunch (which is SO much …
I love making new dishes and trying new ingredients. Sure, I have some "tried and true" dishes that make an appearance every now and then, but a big part of my love of cooking (and eating!) is tasting new things. I had ground chicken in my refrigerator for my son. The plan was to set …
It's Taco Tuesday! I like my tacos simple: seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, hot taco sauce (or jarred salsa), Mexican blend of cheese, and sour cream on a soft tortilla. I made tacos about 2 months ago. I decided not to buy the taco kit, and instead bought the meat, tortillas, and salsa …
