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...

Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken Chili with Plantain Chips
Consider this my SOS call.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Loin with Apple & Rice Stuffing
This post is sponsored by the jolly fellows over at Minute® Rice. Don't work yourself into a tiffy over it, though. All thoughts and blooming brilliant opinions are my own. And I definitely always talk like this. Well aren't I just the most elegant of food bloggers today with my nice wine glasses and beaded cloth...
Crispy Cranberry-Herb Butter Butterflied Turkey with Roasted Vegetables
See all of those glorious blackened bits? I bet you can't make this turkey and not pick off some of those morsels to eat them before serving. Go on and try-- call it an impossible exercise in self-restraint. Just like with any "blackened" recipe, the charred bits on this Crispy Cranberry-Herb Butter Butterflied Turkey with Roasted Vegetables are the...
Loaded Pizza Nachos with Creamy Garlic White Sauce
I never thought I'd be caught up in a love triangle, but if you try to make me choose between a bunch of nachos and couple of slices of pizza (both of which are conveniently triangle-shaped, I might add), things are going to get reaaal emotional up in here. Nachos, pizza, and I have enjoyed many...
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...
Honey Crisp Apple Salad with Cider Vinaigrette
Did you have a fun weekend? Yeah, I'm really asking-- you can tell me all about it in a comment or message me on facebook or get at me on twitter, which I am making a goal to actually use. Or we can just have a faux-convo and fake bond, whatever works for you. We've got to...
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.
Hashbrown-Crusted California Quiche with Avocado Roses
I'll admit it: I'm a notorious breakfast-skipper, which makes me seem like maybe not the most likely person to recommend recipes meant to be eaten in the AM hours. However, on the occasions when I decide that a cup of coffee on its own won't suffice, I'm your go-to morning meal girl. I go all out. Case...
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...
Thai Curry Turkey Burgers with Spicy Mayo and Coconut-Lime Slaw
For all of the things I get nervous about-- and trust me, despite my totally cool demeanor, there are a lot of them: flying, accidentally stepping on bugs when I'm barefoot, and parallel parking, for example-- I'm not one to hesitate when it comes to experimenting with seasoning and spice. What comes of these fearless forays into flavor-town? Sometimes it's...
Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops with Curry-Spiced Sweet Potatoes and Mango Salsa
I'm not nearly the only one who snuck off with the cordless phone as a child and dialed in with high hopes for my future, enticed by the woman on TV who insisted in her (faux-) Carribbean accent that I "Call Now For A Free Reading!" Free was an interesting choice of words, of course, as...
Mexican Brick Chicken with Grilled Corn and Avocados
Say hello to the debunker of the Beer Can Chicken craze. You may think you know the tastiest way to grill a whole chicken, but I'm about to cast some doubt and introduce you to this delicious, crispy, juicy, spicy, delicious (again for emphasis) Mexican Brick Chicken with Grilled Corn and Avocados.
30 Minute Thai Beef Stir Fry with Sriracha Roasted Peanuts
The toothpaste is out of the tube, and there's no putting it back. Not that anyone would want to. Thai food has been in the US since long before I was born. It was largely introduced when Vietnam War soldiers were on R&R in Thailand and enjoyed local dishes, fell for the women who prepared them, and brought...
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,...
Smoky Shrimp Pasta Salad with Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette
This Smoky Shrimp Pasta Salad with Chipotle Dressing is about to make a lot of people reaaaal popular this summer.
Sun-Dried Tomato Crusted Chicken with Goat Cheese and Herb Sauce
My little brother Mark-- or maybe I should say my younger brother, as he's not very little anymore-- doesn't fit the stereotype of the annoying bratty sibling. In fact, he's pretty much the coolest kid-- or I guess man, now-- that I know. That's mainly due to the fact that he spent most of his early years trying to be like me....
Crunchy Mexican BBQ Sauced Chicken Tacos with Charred Corn Relish
I feel like you're giving me a weird look right now. Is it because when you envision sweet and smoky, barbecue sauce-smothered chicken with fresh-off-the-cob corn, you're usually not thinking of tacos? I feel you, friend. I do. But these Crunchy Mexican BBQ Sauced Chicken Tacos with Charred Corn Relish are about to change your WORLD.
Mexican Chocolate Custard Cake with Spiked Marshmallow Whipped Cream
I'm not up-to-date on my Sesame Street these days, but back when I was just a wee tyke, they'd always let you know of some special numbers and letters that were important to the show-- and I'm totally ripping them off today with this post that is brought to you by the #26.
Yogurt Marinated Lamb Skewers with Mint-Pistachio Pesto Pilaf
I had fully planned on devoting this whole month to Mexican dishes, since Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and I don't believe that a person can ever have too much Mexican food. Yet here I am, posting a springtime dish that has absolutely 0 south of the border influence, because sometimes a...
Jalapeño Popper Chorizo Taquitos with Creamy Avocado Sauce
I originally made these Jalapeño Popper Chorizo Taquitos with Creamy Avocado Sauce to prepare for my Cinco de Mayo / birthday party. I figured I could make them now, freeze them, and be ahead of the game for once. Like that would ever happen.
Spicy Sesame-Chili Noodles with Chicken
When people find out that I'm a food blogger, they seem to be under the impression that my cabinets are overflowing with the most sophisticated of ingredients, and that I casually toss together grand culinary masterpieces day in and day out. Well, I wish. Just like everyone else, I dread spending too much time in the supermarket....
One Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Alfredo with Toasted Breadcrumbs
Did you have a lovely, food-filled Eater? I did, and now I'm overloaded with more jelly beans than I know what to do with, a carton full of hard-boiled eggs, and a fridge stacked high with various leftover-filled plastic containers. I'm not sure how I'm ever going to get through all of this stuff. Are you right...
Blueberry Muffin Waffles with Cinnamon Streusel and Vanilla Glaze
Are they muffins? Are they waffles? Are they breakfast? Are they dessert? Am I so indecisive that I combined all of those into one recipe to create Blueberry Muffin Waffles with Cinnamon Streusel and Vanilla Glaze? Well, yes. Yes to all.
Irish Baked Potato Soup with Corned Beef and Crispy Leeks
My love story with potato soup is on a better-than-Twilight, stronger than Kim and Kanye, transgressing all pop culture kind of level. It's the real deal. And if you're with me (whether or not you're Irish, and while we're at it, whether or not you have any idea what I'm talking about at all right...
Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting
There's nothing wrong with just slapping some green frosting on your cupcakes for St. Paddy's day, but if you want a dessert that really will make the Irishmen (and ladies) swoon, this Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting is what you should be baking this year. And next year. And every chance you get for...
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...
Chorizo, Caramelized Onion, and Poblano Sausage Rolls with Creamy Cilantro Dip
I have an almost impressive ability to polish off whole trays of pigs in a blanket in seconds flat. It's not at all uncommon to catch me lingering by the appetizer spread at a party, eradicating the bite-sized cocktail sausages before anyone else gets an opportunity to enjoy them. I try to be discreet. I try to have...
Easy Applesauce Drop Doughnuts with Caramel Glaze
I've got to be quick today, for two reasons: First, because Hanukkah is just around the corner, and I want you to seriously consider making these Easy Applesauce Drop Doughnuts with Caramel Glaze for your holiday get-together. They're fried, they're much easier and quicker to make than Sufganiyah (they take less than an hour from start...
One Pot Penne Alla Vodka with Sausage
All logical reasons considered, I should NOT like Penne Alla Vodka. I've only recently come around to tomato-based sauces (and still approach them with caution), and the vodka-- well, for all of the reasons I've ever imbibed, "Vodka is delicious" has never been one of them. Yet here I am, eating a bowl full of...
Baked Chicken Nuggets with Honey Mustard Dip
This year, Chick-Fil-A took the title of the fast food restaurant with the highest customer satisfaction, based off of a survey of just over 5,000 consumers. You might say it's due to their friendly staff, or perhaps their clean kitchens, but I say it's all about the chicken nuggets. Those crispy, salty, slightly-sweet Chick-Fil-A...
Crispy Salami Chips with Warm Muffuletta Dip
You know how, on the best pizza slices, the pepperoni forms little cups that get super crunchy along the edges and it's the most delicious thing to ever happen to cured meat? Or when you get the entire strip of bacon (including the fatty streaks) to get crispy without burning it, and it's like a...
Crock Pot Chicken Tinga Tacos with Bacon Pico De Gallo
Happy Cinco de Mayo! How are you going to celebrate? (Pssst! If you're not planning on eating tacos tonight, it's time to reevaluate your choices.) Lately I've been absolutely swamped with things to do, so I've been trying to be a bit minimalistic in the kitchen. Simple recipes with a relatively short list of ingredients...
Gooey Lemon Bars with Blueberry Glaze
My family heard that I was making brownies for Easter, so they showed up ready to get their sweet teeth tickled. "That is not a brownie," my grandmother informed me, pointing to a yellow rectangle I was cutting. "And hi, dear!" She was right, the brownies were set aside (more on those brownies next week, by...
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...
Mexican Turkey Burgers with Cilantro-Lime Pesto
Typical Turkey Burgers have never really been my thing, despite my mom's best efforts to get me to enjoy them. Save for the rare exception, they usually seem dry and unbelievably boring. I'll just have a hamburger, thanks. But I've been trying to eat a bit less red meat lately (I'd been downing blue cheese burgers with a...
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...
Cheesy Chorizo Cornbread Balls with Chipotle Dipping Sauce
If you're anything like me in the way that your one, truest of all true loves happens to be Mexican food, and your second truest of all true loves happens to be appetizers in their many forms, then do I have a treat for you! Also, we have a lot in common. We may be kindred...
Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Nuggets Stuffed with Beer Cheese
It was almost exactly three years ago that I was spending my Winter Break at Rutgers, hanging out with whichever of my sorority sisters were still around, wasting countless hours at James' fraternity house, and singing and dancing to Christmas songs with all of our friends who decided to stay in New Brunswick. James and I weren't...
Soft & Chewy Ginger Cookies with Eggnog Frosting
This week has been all about the cookies for me. With the holidays coming up, The Best Chewy Cafe-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies have been all over the web, which makes me a happy gal. Especially because it's given me an excuse to make a couple of extra batches this week. "I just want to make...
