Honey Buttermilk Cornbread
Honey Buttermilk Cornbread. This tender and sweet cornbread makes the perfect side for a summer BBQ or Thanksgiving dinner.

Butter Pecan Snowball Cookies
These Butter Pecan Snowball Cookies make me feel so Shakespearean. A cookie by any other name... Did you know that these cookies are made in all corners of the earth, and that they have like a billion different names to show for it?
The Best Chewy Café-Style Peanut Butter Cookies
They're called The Best Chewy Café-Style Peanut Butter Cookies for a reason-- these giant, irresistibly soft and chewy cookies are better than any peanut butter cookie recipe you've ever tried before. Their just-barely-crisped edges and ultra-creamy interior make them a peanut butter lover's dream. "So I see that there's a Google search tab for 'cookie-induced...
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Dessert
I know that most people have jumped into September with both feet-- they've got 25 pumpkin spice recipes already in the queue, they're throwing freshly-picked apples into absolutely everything, and they're using words like "warming" and "toasty" and "roasted." But a huge part of my heart is still hung up on summer recipes-- the...
Crispy Chicken Tacos with Avocado Buttermilk Ranch
I'm not sure of the technical way to measure the greatness of a meal (if such a thing exists), but I want to say that it's probably "how likely would it be that I'd happily-- maybe even eagerly-- eat this on an already painfully full stomach?" Because you know what? I spent this weekend raiding...

30 Minute Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta with Crispy Sage
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I'm extremely honored and humbled to be here today, accepting the prestigious Totally-Made-Up Tickle Their Tastebuds Award for my accomplishment of converting two picky adult-males into squash and unusual cheese eaters. Many said that it could not be done. Some alleged that my 30 Minute Creamy Butternut Squash with Crispy Sage recipe wouldn't...
Maple Brown Butter Glazed Amish Apple Fry Pies
Sometimes, when I'm sitting at my desk, tucked inside of my warm house, with my fuzzy blanket draped over my lap and a hot coffee in hand, I almost forget how it felt to be 14 with frozen fingers. Far before I ever had the luxury of working from home, or even in an office,...
Creamy Lemon Butter Shrimp Pasta with Spinach and Caramelized Garlic
I've been seeing drunk food all over facebook lately-- the stuff you make when you've had a lot to drink and suddenly you are Gordon Ramsey, nay, Alain Ducasse, nay, not even a Picasso of food could rival your superhuman creative flair in the kitchen. It's revolutionary. It's avante-garde. It... usually features heavy use of the microwave.
Jalapeño Buttermilk Ranch Fried Chicken
It was with a metal mug full of Pimento Beer Cheese, a freezer full of Ultra Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits, and a mason jar overflowing with Jalapeño Buttermilk Ranch that I realized that I was missing an essential piece of the puzzle (or sandwich, as it was). I realized that I had no fried chicken for slathering...
Ultra Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits
If there is one thing I've learned from my visits to the Southeastern states throughout the years, it's that I am undoubtedly a New Jersey girl. No, not the fist-fighting, tanning-booth-happy, thick-accented variety that The Jersey Shore and Real Housewives made famous (although I'll admit that I did a pretty awful job with some Jergen's...
Southwestern Chicken Cobb Salad with Jalapeño Buttermilk Ranch
There are two types of salads in the world, you know. Some are simple, light, and healthy. They're sort that are loaded up with greens and drizzled with a light vinaigrette; the sort that leaves you the tiniest bit hungry, but in a good way; the sort that you eat at the end of the...
Cornbread Salad with Jalapeño-Browned Butter Vinaigrette
Usually when I hear the words "cornbread" and "dressing" together, I have Thanksgiving flashbacks. But not today. Today, I'm having flashbacks to a weekend barbecue when I served up some Cornbread Salad with Jalapeño-Browned Butter Vinaigrette, which-- with its ton of toasty sweet cornbread, creamy avocado, melted cheddar cheese, fresh corn, juicy popped tomatoes, and sweet,...
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chickpea Bars
I almost called these "Unbelievable Bars" because I was completely caught off guard when I realized that they were not only edible, but actually freaking delicious. They get this crackly, brownie-like crust on the top and bottom after baking, but stay extremely moist and almost fudgy in the center, sort of like the texture of...
Lemony Brown Butter Asparagus Penne
We were in the middle of watching our 8th House of Cards episode of the weekend, not even talking about this Lemony Brown Butter Asparagus Penne, when James turned to me with a very serious look on his face and said, "You should write in your post tomorrow that I like canned asparagus."
Butter Chicken Pot Pie with Naan Crust
It never fails-- when there's snow on the ground and a grumbling in my stomach, I always crave comfort food in the form of Chicken Pot Pie. Juicy chicken, tender vegetables, and creamy sauce all nestled beneath crisp, golden crust; that's my idea of cold weather consolation.  Everything about Chicken Pot Pie screams "All-American classic"... but...
Flourless Peanut Butter & Dark Chocolate Cookies
They're peanut butter. Â They're dark chocolate. Â They're peanut butter. Â They're dark chocolate. Â A little naughty, a little nice, and a lot of yum. These cookies are just as tasty as they are attractive (who sees a half-and-half chocolate and peanut butter cookie and thinks, "nah"?) and they're quick and easy to make, to boot. Â BUT...
Thai Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup
Usually I'm pretty convinced that "make it in the slow cooker" is all I have to say in order to turn some heads around here, but it tends to take a lot more to coerce James and Mike into trying a recipe without ruling it out before they take a bite. Include anything that even...
Maple Bourbon Brown Butter Peach Pie
I'm firmly convinced that there is no better dessert in this world than Maple Bourbon Brown Butter Peach Pie. Yes, I said it.  I, the fruit skeptic, the haphazard baker, the Thanksgiving-dessert-skipping monster (seriously, who turns down a slice of warm apple pie?!) made this pie twice in one week. It was just that delicious. And...
Grilled Balsamic Steak with Blue Cheese Butter
In the past year and a half that I've been blogging, I have really warmed up to steak. Â "Warmed up" as in I can't get enough of it and I weep for the 22 years of my life that I wasted without it. It's like when you're in a relationship, and you really love someone,...
Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Herb Butter Sauce
January, for me, is always a time of reflection. As I begin another 365-day cycle, I can't help but reminisce on the experiences I've had in past years-- from people I've met to places I've ventured, lessons I've learned to things I still haven't quite figured out yet. Unsurprisingly, a lot of my memories have...
Thyme Brown Butter Mashed Sweet Potatoes
I'm hardly the only person in the country who has a serious smorgasbord sprawled around the dining room table every Thanksgiving. My family always has the traditional staples-- turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce-- and a few oddballs-- Grandma Sandy's steamed pork dumplings, whatever last-minute concoction I come up with, et cetera. However, there has...
Skillet Pumpkin Cornbread with Cinnamon Maple Butter
As you may or may not remember, I finally made my way down to North Carolina this past summer to visit my cousin Ashley and her fiance Evan. I came back missing my cousin more than ever (isn't it funny how seeing someone after a few years actually makes missing them worse?) and also missing...
Apple Butter BBQ Ribs
I have somewhat of a torrid love affair going on this season with the classic pork and apple flavor combination.  Sure, it's been around forever, but for whatever reason, something about the sudden chill in this year's air has got me thinking in one direction.  (Hint: it's a direction that involves an entire apple grove and...
Filet Mignon with Herbed Butter and a Zinfandel Reduction
First of all, let me apologize for not posting yet this week. Lately, I’ve been about as able to write a single coherent sentence as the characters on MTV’s Buckwild have been to speak one. Haven’t watched it? Don’t, unless you really love reading subtitles and you don't mind dying a little bit inside. They...
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Can Cake
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm no baker. Seriously, if you're searching for some beautiful work of culinary art, look away now. However, I've got to say that these turned out pretty awesome, aesthetically, for the amount of amateur ability that was put into them. They taste even better. ...
Clafoutis Recipe
This classic clafoutis recipe is the perfect light and fluffy French dessert, bursting with juicy fresh fruit nestled in a cloud-like baked custard.

How To Make Roasted Garlic
Roasted Garlic is the slightly sweet, deeply-flavored, creamy and spreadable upgrade to your typical minced garlic. Learn how to easily roast entire heads in the oven, and then eat the cloves whole (seriously!), spread them on crostini, or mix them into your favorite weeknight dinner for a major boost of flavor. What is Roasted Garlic?...

It only takes 5 minutes to transform regular ricotta into a ultra-creamy appetizer that's infused with plenty of flavor: Whipped Ricotta!
