Last year, I discovered that rice salad was an amazingly wonderful thing. It’s replaced pasta salad as my favorite binge-on-at-barbecues-until-the-shame-kicks-in dish. Actually, being perfectly honest, shame doesn’t even stop me most of the time. I will eat rice salad until I can’t physically get up to get more. You think I’m exaggerating, don’t you? It…
Thai Guacamole
In an effort to incorporate guacamole into as many of my meals as possible, I decided to get my fusion on. Thai dishes feature a lot of similar flavors as Mexican, surprisingly, making them great candidates for combination. Cilantro, hot peppers, green onion, garlic, cumin, and lime are just a few examples of shared ingredients, and wouldn’t…
Jalapeño Queso Blanco Creamed Spinach
First things first: does this really count as creamed spinach? How much cheese does one have to add until you leave creamed spinach territory and it becomes something else entirely? I really don’t know. I’m not an expert on that southern side dish, but one thing I know for sure is that this is absolutely…
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 Vegetable Enchilada Skillet
In an unexpected twist of events that would shock and appall my former 5-year-old self, I have grown to love vegetables. I am like a kid in a candy store in the produce section during the warmer-weather months. Aside from the massive (and I do mean massive) amounts of cheese in my fridge, there are…
Easy Homemade Enchilada Sauce
This past Saturday was one of those days when you actually start talking out loud to your online movie streaming source out of guilt. “Yes, I am still watching. I will tell you when I’ve had enough. I can quit any time. Just one more episode, I swear. Stop judging me, Netflix.” It was also (unsurprisingly)…
Cheesy Fiesta Black Bean Spinach Dip
Some people say that sunshine makes them happy. Some people say that spending time with their families makes them happy. Some people feel happy when their favorite song comes on the radio. That’s all nice I suppose, but to me, happiness is a warm dip. Might as well just forget about all of that other stuff…
Sofritas Tofu Burrito Bowls
As a lover of bacon, pulled pork, and burgers, a lot of people find it surprising when I say that I also adore tofu. Or maybe I should say I adore good tofu. Tofu gets a bad wrap from the many people who don’t know how to properly prepare the wiggly soybean curd, leaving a lot of people to think…
Avocado, Chickpea, and Feta Fritters
At 1 AM last night, my world came crashing down. No, that’s not right. At 1 AM last night, my closet came crashing down. The shelves that had held my belongings for over a decade just gave up and gave out, and gave me a near-heart attack in the process. Those shelves were where I stored my…
Fluffy Old Fashioned Pancakes
More times than not, my breakfast consists of coffee. Just coffee. Maybe a granola bar, too, if we’re getting crazy. Sure, I’m a food blogger. Sure, breakfast is “the most important meal of the day”. Sure, I live in a state filled to the brim with diners. I should probably be ashamed. But the issue with…
5 Ingredient Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Dip
I don’t know if Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Dip would typically fall in the Super Bowl Snack category, but I’m here to say that it should. It should be available at every party. It should be omnipresent. This is the kind of dip that people eat once and get hooked on, because it’s so simple to make but…
Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl Cookies
Everywhere you look this time of year, there’s red and white– striped, dotted, or blocked together, running its way up candy canes and down pillars, and circling around knit scarves and Santa hats. So it’s no surprise that a deep red, chewy cookie with swirls of sweet cream cheese and dots of white chocolate chips fit…
Raspberry Cranberry Sauce
I am no stranger to the canned cranberry enthusiasts– I have several in my own family. (Gasp!) They like their “sauce” to be, well, not at all saucy, with thick ridges in the sides that keep their mold long after they’ve thwapped from their aluminum homes onto a serving dish. While I’m not particularly a fan…
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…
Goat Cheese and Chive Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are, admittedly, one of my least favorite ways to get my share of spuds. It might just be me, but I’m extremely picky with my mashed potatoes, and most of them just don’t make the cut. It’s so easy for them too be too smooth, too lumpy, too gummy, too bland… and for…
Baked Green Bean Fries with Sriracha Salt and Light Wasabi Ranch Dip
Let’s pretend there was a girl who ate far too often at TGI Friday’s for many, many years. And, still pretending of course, this girl ordered Green Bean Fries every time. She also ate them all. Every time. And then maybe, if she was feeling particularly gluttonous (and she usually was), she would get a second…
