Fiery Italian Chicken Skewers
This post is sponsored by Sutter Home, who made James and I very happy by supplying the wine to go with these Fiery Italian Chicken Skewers as part of the #SweetOnSpice campaign. Whew.

Seafood Fra Diavolo
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #HuntsHasHeart #CollectiveBias In the typical sigh-inducing retail fashion, there's been Valentine's Day decorations out at the drugstore since right after Christmas.

Cheesy Pineapple-Habanero Bacon Dip
I trust you've pulled through your tryptophan-induced coma, and that's why you're here today, searching for something to shake things up after a week of Thanksgiving flavors. Friend, I feel ya.

Baked Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese Bites
I just pulled (what I'm pretty sure is) my first all-nighter since college to get this post to you today, and I've gotta say, I'm pumped about it.

Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake with Apple Roses
I worked on this all day and night just to be sure I could get it to you today.  Why?  Because it would be a crime to not give you a recipe for something this good as soon as humanly possible.  So here we are.  It's 9AM as I write this and I'm on my fourth...
One Pot Cheesy Chicken Taco Rice
"One Pot" recipes have become favorites of mine, since a) I hate washing dishes and b) I hate washing dishes. By the way, did I mention that I hate washing dishes? Because I do. I hate it. But you know what I don't hate? Delicious chicken, beans, corn, rice, tomato, avocado, onions, and cheese all cooked together in...
Breaded Italian Sausage Sandwiches with A'moigue and Roasted Red Pepper Relish
When I was of middle-school-age and the last day of school dragged on as though the teachers had unanimously decided to kill us with boredom, I would doodle little depictions of all of the exciting things I had to look forward to in the upcoming summer months.  (I was a notorious side-margin-scribbling doodle-maniac, by the way.  The...
