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…
Buffalo Chicken & Ranch Potato Croquettes
This post has been a loooong time coming. It was 2014 and the World Cup was being held in Brazil when I heard about coxhina for the first time. The teardrop-shaped street food typically consists of a fried potato dough exterior and creamy, shredded chicken filling. It’s extremely popular in Brazil, and extremely delicious. Or so…
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…
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…
Creamy Three Cheese Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas
When I first started coming up with recipes for my upcoming Cinco de Mayo / birthday fiesta, I was all set on only including authentic Mexican recipes. I researched meticulously, I took notes, I ordered special ingredients online… aaaand theeeeen these Creamy Three Cheese Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas happened. Sometimes you just gotta follow your heart.
Chipotle Ranch Chicken & Avocado Potstickers with Cilantro Lime Dip
Crispy bottoms and chewy tops make potstickers one of my favorite ways to eat appetizers. I don’t just mean Asian-inspired appetizers, either; People typically think of potstickers as being filled with gingery pork, scallions, and cabbage, but you really can put anything in them! This time, I decided to go with a Tex Mex flavored…
Loaded Buffalo Chicken Nachos
The best things in life are meant to be shared. Please remind me of that this upcoming football Sunday when I am HOARDING these Loaded Buffalo Chicken Nachos to myself. Don’t be surprised if you find me whispering “my precious” over them and viciously swatting away the hands of friends and family members who are…
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
The Super Bowl is right around the corner, so that means it’s time for me to share some super snacks. Last year, I did a Buffalo Chicken Super Bowl Extravaganza that everyone seemed to like (because who doesn’t love buffalo chicken?) and then I told myself I wouldn’t make any more buffalo chicken recipes until this Super…
Cheesy Fiesta Ranch Chicken Bites
Cheesy? Check. Flavorful? Check. Ranch-ified? Check, check, check. Great Game Day or party appetizer? … Well, you get the idea. If you’re anything like my boyfriend, then you practically bleed Ranch dressing. The man has an abnormal obsession with Ranch, and turns giddy when it’s mentioned. Same goes for cheez-its, although I have…
Avocado Bacon Pasta Salad
As ridiculous as this may sound, I’ve been thinking up pasta salad recipes for weeks now. Once the first faint brush of summer sun could be felt inching its way across bare shoulders, I could be found walking around the neighborhood with a dog leash in one hand (with puppy attached, of course) and my…
Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) One of my favorite things to do when I’m thinking up recipes is to randomly combine things that I love. As I was brainstorming things to make for the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series, I knew I wanted to make something that resembled a football. …
