Once a week, I like to go to Malibu to relax and eat at my favorite restaurants. One restaurant that I just discovered was re-opened for outdoor dining is Tra di Noi. I’ve been going to this Italian restaurant for years and today I tried a new dish, Oreccchiette al Tartufo. It’s homemade orecchiette pasta with peas and mushrooms finished in a pecorino cheese wheel. Topped with shaved black truffles. If you’ve never had pasta tossed in a cheese wheel, then you must try this restaurant!! 🍝 🍽😋❤️ - - - - #tradinoi#livelovecook#carbsunday#foodphotography #foodiesofinstagram #italiancooking#TOHFoodie#foodtographyschool#sundaylunch#foodgoals#comfortfood#italianfood#blacktruffles#pecorinocheesewheel#cheeselover#yummyyummy#alizzy2012 (at Tra Di Noi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPfaNhBAcp/?igshid=4gfg5nm9l0rb

I Initially thought that my first wheat zucchini bread was a disaster, but after letting it in the fridge for a couple of days, I ended up enjoying the taste better. What I realized about baking with wheat flour instead of white was that the texture wasn’t as smooth and bouncy like other zucchini breads. Now I know the difference between baking with wheat vs white flour. ❤️🍽🙏 Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose wheat flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 2 cups white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 cups grated zucchini Method: 1. Spray grapeseed oil on a non-stick 9x5 inch pans. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2. Dry bowl: flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl. 3. Wet bowl: Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and beat well. 4. Stir in zucchini until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. 5. Bake for 60 minutes. 6. Insert a toothpick into the center. It’s done if the toothpick comes out clean. 7. Cool in pan on rack for 10-15 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and serve.

These pictures are the aftermath of testing a zucchini bread recipe that went south. The life of a cook can be downright messy, but at the same time totally rewarding. Julia Child said, “You’ll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.” For anyone who’s learning how to cook and you hit a wall, keep going!! 2nd attempt at zucchini bread coming soon!!! ❤️🍽🙏 - - - #livelovecook#cookinggoals#lifeofahomechef#gethappycooking #dontgiveup #foodgoals#bakinggonewrong#cookingislove#alizzy2012#zucchinibreaddisaster#honeyyoubaked https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHvf4xBUBf/?igshid=svon11a1l5bt

I love a good old fashion grilled cheese sandwich, but what makes one good? Is it the bread? The cheese? Is it the spread? I like to keep it simple and fast. 🥪 🍽😋❤️ - - - Grilled Cheese Recipe Ingredients: 2 tablespoons salted butter Shredded Fontina Cheese Shredded Sharp Cheddar Italian Country Bread - - - Method: Step 1: In a 10” pan, add 2 tablespoons of butter on medium heat. 2 minutes Step 2: Spread a light coat of butter to one side of the bread. Once the butter is melted in the pan, then add the two pieces of bread with the butter side up. 1 minute Step 3: Add shredded fontina to one slice and the shredded sharp cheddar to the other. 1-2 minutes Step 4: With your spatula, flip one slice on top of another, then press down so the cheeses melt evenly. 1 minute or until cheese is melted. Step 5: Flip the sandwich and press down to melt the cheeses evenly on both sides. 1 minute or until cheese is melted. Step 6: You’ll see how the toast looks buttery and toasted while the cheese is perfectly melted.

I needed a reason to use my new hand mixer. I tried and failed whisking the egg whites into fluffy peaks by hand.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, crack open the eggs and place the egg whites in a bowl. Step 4: Whisk egg whites until peaks are stiffened, then add sugar and continue to mix it. Step 5: Fold in yogurt to the bowl with the chocolate. Step 6: Slowly fold in the egg white and sugar mixture into the chocolate bowl. Step 7: Cut up the hazelnuts and fruit into quarters.
