It’s officially crab season in New England.

Whether or not you live in New England, if you’re a fan of crab, I have a real treat to share with you today…

Today marks mine and Mike’s 8th wedding anniversary, which seems completely crazy to me. (Crazy that eight years have passed, not that we’ve stuck together that long. Although, maybe it is a little crazy since we were so young when we got married…who says kids can’t make good choices? Lol.) Anyway, people have been congratulating us all over the place for passing the “seven year itch”, so I’ll take our 8th anniversary as a really good omen.

I don’t like PDAs (which includes PDAs on the blog!) so not to worry, I won’t get all mushy here. But I will tell you a little something about our honeymoon…

I’m a big fan of bold flavors.

Raw onion.

Fresh dill.

Kalamata olives.

Feta.

Garlic (although that’s not in this recipe).

Which means I have to carry around a travel-sized toothbrush and matching miniature tube of toothpaste. (Wait, what? You mean your purse isn’t likewise equipped?)

This recipe was developed for #McCormickTacoNight and this post is sponsored by McCormick; as always, opinions are my own.

We all know it’s not polite to stare at people eating, but have you ever stolen a glance? Truthfully, it’s hard not to notice the way a person eats when they’re sitting next to or across from you; it’s interesting, and I think you can tell a lot about someone by the way they make and eat a plate of food.

These muffins are a special treat. For starters, they combine the two favorite foods of just about every girl I know (and a few guys too!): coffee and chocolate.

With Mother’s Day just a few days away, you might have your brunch menu all set…but if you’re still looking for the perfect addition, these scones are it! They bring the whimsy of a nostalgic pb&j sandwich, but the elegance of a scone. It’s a fun combo, one that is sure to be a winner with everyone.

You can check out the full recipe for my PB&J Scone Sandwiches with Brie on the Peanut Butter & Co. Recipe Blog. There’s also the chance to win a jar of Smooth Operator Peanut Butter, Rip-Roaring Raspberry Preserves, and a can of Honey Roasted Peanuts, the Peanut Butter & Co. products used in this recipe!

Curry paste is something I normally don’t think twice about buying pre-made for the sake of convenience (not to mention the fact that pre-made is usually pretty good!).

That is, until last week when I was looking lustfully at this lovely recipe and I realized that I had everything on hand – sans the curry paste – to make it. But I did have everything to make the curry paste itself. I made a quick call to a friend (who asked to remain anonymous) who knows Indian cooking like the back of her hand and guided me through making the paste, which was completely done from start to finish in under 10 minutes.

It’s not often you see a Southern classic here on An Edible Mosaic, but I really couldn’t resist when I saw this recipe in the gorgeous cookbook Breakfast for Dinner by Lindsay Landis and Taylor Hackbarth. The marriage of chicken and biscuits with chicken and waffles into their Chicken & Biscuit Waffles is too good to pass up! Head over to my post on Culinary Covers for the full recipe!

Are you a coffee drinker or a tea drinker? Or maybe hot cocoa is more your thing. Whatever you drink that gets you going, it’s likely that you can brew it in a Keurig…I’ve even seen K-Cups for hot spiced cider and iced coffee! (I know, iced coffee. How I love you.) I’ve had a Keurig for about six months and I can tell you that it gets more than its fair share of use; we use it just about every day and sometimes more than once a day. I am absolutely thrilled to be giving away a Keurig!

There was this cute little café that I used to frequent with a friend for lunch. It was just this hole-in-the-wall from the outside, but it was decorated in a charming, eclectic way inside. The food was quirky and full of charm too.
