When I was reading my list of upcoming recipes aloud for James, he stopped me at this one. "That sounds like a great snack for poker night with the guys," he hinted. (He is so subtle, isn't he?) But I had big, estrogen-packed plans for these Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs: I was going to...

Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Chicken Meatballs with Creamy Parmesan Rice
These Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Chicken Meatballs with Creamy Parmesan Rice are a result of what can only be explained as a freak accident on mother nature's behalf: I've managed to keep a basil plant alive in my kitchen for months now. Not only is it alive, it's flourishing. New leaves are coming in. Nothing is wilting. It's survived...
Cucumber-Wrapped, Feta-Stuffed Meatballs
Please do not ask me to detail what I have eaten in the past couple of weeks. The holidays have turned me into a walking garbage disposal for all things fried, fatty, or fudgy, and just trying to remember exactly what that entails gives me a bit of a stomach ache. I'm not saying that...
Mozzarella-Stuffed Chicken Parm Meatballs
At all times, I have at least 3 varieties of mozzarella in my fridge. Bocconcini, shredded, sliced, mozzarella di bufala... it's all got its place in my heart and in my meals (especially since I learned how to make my own fresh mozzarella). I could --and would-- eat mozzarella in everything, but I try to...
Easy Cranberry Chipotle Cocktail Meatballs
I've got to be honest here, I didn't come up with this idea entirely. The recipe is tweaked from another recipe that I'm seeing everywhere lately-- one that is pretty good on its own but doesn't reach the its full potential, in my opinion. I would absolutely link to the original source if I had any...
The Best Italian Meatballs You Will Ever Eat
There’s been a lot of fuss about this upcoming Valentine’s Day, and about cooking for someone in general. One redditor suggested that for V-Day, you should “[b]e her renaissance man,” and that, when cooking for someone, you should “[s]ee that project through, from choosing the right ingredients, to the right music selection, to the perfect...
Cheesy Garlic Meatball Bombs
What do you get when you combine garlic knots, melty mozzarella, and mini Italian meatballs? You get the perfect party appetizer: Cheesy Garlic Meatball Bombs. It's like a garlic-butter-slathered meatball sub, but snack-sized, and minus the mess. PARTIES CALL FOR PULL-APART BREAD Whether there’s a holiday, birthday, or game day get-together around the corner, I...
Mojo Verde (Canarian Green Mojo Sauce)
I'm not exaggerating-- Prepare to put Mojo Sauce on EVERYTHING. This version, called Mojo Verde, is a tangy, garlicky, herb and chile pepper sauce that adds fresh-flavored magic to all it touches. Added bonus: it only takes a few minutes to make. WHAT IS MOJO SAUCE? Mojo is an uncooked, fresh and vibrant sauce that's...
Chocolate Peanut Butter Dragon Eggs

This recipe includes a Reese's-style peanut butter filling, crunchy sliced almond "scales", and a smooth chocolate coating. If you're planning to throw a Game of...
Smoky Bacon-Wrapped Baby Potatoes
Tender and fluffy on the inside with crisp bacon and a smoky seasoning mix on the outside, Smoky Bacon-Wrapped Baby Potatoes as easy to make as they are to devour. While this recipe technically feeds six, you’ll find these addictive one-bite-wonders are best-served in bulk. This recipe for Smoky Bacon-Wrapped Baby Potatoes was also featured on...
Lemon Garlic Chicken Orzo Soup
Inspired by Greek "Avgolemono", this Lemon Garlic Chicken Orzo Soup recipe is thickened with a mixture of lemon juice, pureed garlic, and egg to create a flavor-packed, citrusy, velvety soup. Let me start by saying that the idea for this recipe is not anywhere near "inspired" enough to warrant a blog post intro-- there was...
Caramelized Onion and Garlic Bread
Caramelized Onion and Garlic Bread. Who ever thought that garlic bread could get even better? A sweet garlic-onion-herb butter is smeared over spongy ciabatta, hit with plenty of parmesan, and baked until beautifully browned. At the risk of ruining my well-established reputation as the pinnacle of all things cool (haaaah), I've started doing food trivia...
Enchilada Meatball Pasta Bake
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MeatballPerfection #CollectiveBias I consider myself a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” type of gal, so when people ask me what tricks I have up my sleeves to get dinner on the table on busy nights or make an appetizer at a moment’s...
Roasted Eggplant and Feta Fritters with Tahini Sauce
I won't sugarcoat it: 2016 has thoroughly and relentlessly kicked my ass. In fact, if social media is to be believed, it has kicked all of our collective asses. But all of that blubberin' that I love to do aside, we've had a phenomenal year in food, don't you think? I don't know about you, but I'm pretty...
Saucy Skillet Chicken Sausage and Spinach Stuffed Peppers
There's something about stuffed peppers that always feels like the cozy, tuck-you-in type of comfort food to me. They're also the kind of comfort food that I tend to avoid in the warmer months because most recipes require turning on the oven. When it feels like an oven outside, I try not to use the oven inside, you know?...
Italian Style Stuffing
Here in New Jersey, Italian-Americans make up almost 18% of the state's population-- surpassed in overall number only by our neighbor to the north, New York. This means that, despite the fact that I have not a drop of Italian blood in me, I'm surrounded by plenty of sources for a peek into Italian-American culture. Or...
Classic Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
If anyone were ever to call me a recipe purist, they'd be wildly mistaken. I like my foods fusion-ified. I like them loaded with crazy amounts of fillings and toppings, and authenticity always follows far behind enjoyability when it comes to my meals. I do not have a Plain Jane appetite, to say the least....
Easy Parmesan Garlic Knot Hearts
Naysayers believe that you shouldn't make Italian food for a romantic dinner, but I will most definitely risk some serious garlic breath on Valentine's Day for a batch of these heart-shaped garlic knots. Along with spaghetti, meatballs, and homemade marinara sauce, these easy-to-make garlic knot hearts are the finishing touch for a perfect plate. I...
