February is the official month of love, and it’s marked by special candlelit dinners, delightful floral bouquets, and sweet nothings shared with that special someone.

Here are some romantic ideas straight from the love-filled kitchen of Candice Horbacz.

Nice and naughty avocado toast
How about avocado toast with chili oil and fried (pasture-raised) eggs? It’s easy to whip up, and basically what you can have every morning. But it showcases avocado combined with the kick of chili and texture of fried egg, something that can excite and warm your lover’s heart in one go.

Smashed avocado toast
Take your toast up a notch with a hard-boiled egg, lemon, flaky salt, and pepper, and let the avocado work its magic on your bread of choice. Since it’s the star of the show, make sure your avocado is ripe – not underripe or brown. The egg adds some protein punch, the lemon enriches the overall taste, and the pepper (could be something like Togarashi spice blend) makes the whole thing simply sexier.

Apple pie avocado toast with date caramel
Love is all sorts of sweet things bursting in your mouth, so try giving your avocado toast a delightful treat filled with apple pie flavor. Candice Horbacz also likes her avocado fare sweet, so she’s fond of layering her trusty smashed avocado, apple slices, data caramel, and some pecans. Enjoy it for your breakfast, snack, or dessert date!

Have you ever hosted a hearty meal with friends where you feasted on spicy grilled Dungeness crab, shell-on shrimp, some herby salad, chorizo, and potato salad?

It’s about showcasing fresh steamed and well-seasoned crabs, where you combine the star of the show with a one-pot shrimp boil along with a couple of traditional trimmings and sides. Image source: MadewithLovia.com       Make sure to steam the crabs well. Fill a large pot with water, and place a steamer rack inside. Bring to a boil over medium, and place some three crabs on the rack in an even layer with their belly side down. Place the remaining crabs on top. Sprinkle these babies with two tablespoons of Old...

Image source: CaribbeanPot.com   Whole fish can be quite intimidating to cook, according to cooking aficionado and lifestyle blogger Candice Horbacz. People tend to think that it’s a lot of work in the kitchen, and they can easily be freaked out by its size and the whole task of cleaning and preparing the dish ahead. Here’s a non-intimidating – and actually quite tasty – jerk snapper recipe you can try for your next lovely dinner at home. The first thing to remember about shopping for whole fish is knowing the right characteristics to look for, namely clear and bright eyes and bright gills.

This will help facilitate proper seasoning as well as even cooking. Season your jerk snapper with a generous amount of sea salt, fr...

There are days that don’t go exactly as planned. They are more often than not filled with anxious, stress-inducing episodes. Normally, people who go through these days come home tired, weak, and irritable. And while there are a number of stress-relieving tech-niques out there, not many are quite as rewarding as cooking. Image source: sharpbrains.com  Cooking can be one of the most fulfilling and rewarding hobbies. Learning the art first can take a bit of time, but once a person is prepared, the whole endeavor can be as relax-ing as say, a day on the beach. It can be done at a leisurely pace, where one can learn as well as execute simple instructions. Cooking can calm the mind by leading it away from any thoughts of a hard day at work. The smell of the food alone, provides natural aroma-therapy that causes the body to relax more.
