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...
Grilled Chicken & Peach Saltimbocca Skewers
This recipe has also been featured on Serious Eats. I made the mistake of telling James that peach season will be ending soon. It started with the simple suggestion that he might like to buy a couple while they're still juicy and ripe. He's got a weak spot for peach-habanero salsa and brown butter peach...
Hawaiian Huli Huli Grilled Chicken Wings
This recipe has also been featured on Serious Eats. Consider this my petition against the end of the so-called "grilling season". Everywhere I looked over the past couple of days, there were articles and advertisements proclaiming that Labor Day Weekend was our last chance to grill up some burgers and dogs, enjoy the sunshine, and host a backyard...
Slow Cooker Mexican Street Corn Chowder
Usually when it's hot out I beat the heat with freshly squeezed lemonade, or a dip into a cold pool, or a big cone full of ice cream. But my favorite way to do it is with Slow Cooker Mexican Street Corn Chowder.
Crispy Hearts of Palm Tacos with Chipotle Baja Sauce
This post is sponsored by Reese Specialty Foods, who inspired me to broaden my taco horizons-- for which I’m always grateful. Once you try these Crispy Hearts of Palm Tacos with Chipotle Baja Sauce, trust me, you’ll be grateful, too.
Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Beer Bratwurst
This post is sponsored by Smithfield, who noticed my ongoing brat-obsession and decided to help make these bacony bratwursts possible. I wasn’t sure if I should post this recipe or destroy it immediately, because I’ve gotta be honest, it’s going to ruin run-of-the-mill grilled sausage for you. Once you’ve had Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Beer Bratwurst you can...
5 Ingredient Cheddar Bacon Horseradish Dip
I'd say that right around the time that someone literally lifts the entire bowl of dip from the buffet area and sneaks it over to their own table, it becomes acceptable to pat yourself on the back for making a damn good recipe. Or at least that's what I told myself as I eyed my 5 Ingredient...
Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad with Greek Yogurt Poppy Seed Dressing
Something strange happened last week that I'm still trying to wrap my head around. James and I went to a cook-out where the hosts totally (and deliciously) went overboard with the food: there were sausages of every sort, kebabs piled so high on platters that it looked like they'd topple over, racks upon racks of ribs,...
Easy BBQ Bacon Baked Beans
I try not to throw the word "ultimate" around here too much because there are thousands of classic recipes on the web, but sometimes I sink my fork into something that's too good for modesty... and you guys, after my first bite of these beans, I knew it was one of those times. I've made...
Sheet Pan Chicken Piccata with Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans
If every meal could be this easy, I'd be a woman with a whole heck of a lot of free time on my hands. Or maybe I'd actually get all of my chores and errands done. Or maybe I'd waste even more time answering those internet quizzes that will guess my age based off of my favorite sandwich...
Salted Caramel S'more Dip with Cinnamon Sugar Chips
Hold on to your sweet tooth, because this dip is all dressed up and ready to party. James-- being the resident dessert-fiend-in-chief that he is-- has been asking me to make something sugary for, gosh, probably two months now. But since I'm selfish and prefer salty foods usually inspired by more savory ideas, I just finally got around...
One Pot Cajun Chicken Alfredo
This post is sponsored by Sutter Home, who inspired James and I to have a delicious date night for the #SweetOnSpice campaign. Cheers to that! I can't think of a single dish that I've made over the past year and a half that James and I have been living together that he didn't taste. He's...
Slow Cooker Spicy Shredded Mexican Chicken
This month is like an experiment in how many lazy dinners I can make. And how many days in a row I can use my slow cooker before actually putting it back into the cabinet. And how many tacos I can stomach. Especially that last one. I bought a jumbo-sized package of tortillas at the wholesale...
Slow Cooker Sticky Bacon & Whiskey Meatballs
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...
Slow Cooker Ancho Coffee Shredded Beef
I'm trying to be a glass-half-full sort of person, so instead of apologizing that this Slow Cooker Ancho Coffee Shredded Beef recipe wasn't out in time for you to pile it into your Cinco de Mayo tacos, I'm going to say that I'm doing a public service by sharing it with you SO FAR AHEAD...
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...
Dutch Baby Pesto Breakfast Pizza
I've been trying to write this post for a while-- ugh, hours now, honestly-- but I keep getting distracted by a very sharp set of teeth on my toes. And tugging at my pants. And attacking my ankles. I guess that's my painful reminder that before I begin to tell you about this delicious Dutch Baby,...
Chicken Bacon Pressed Picnic Sandwiches with Raspberry Honey Mustard
About five years ago, I met James' mom over a platter of pressed picnic sandwiches. I know that I've mentioned this once before, but bear with me. James had spent the past few months of our friendship-turned-budding-relationship letting me know all about his mom-- or maybe not so much about her as he did about her food, which...
Mini Party Poblano Quesadillas
The end of April in near, which means three things: It's almost Cinco de Mayo It's time to put *NSYNC on repeat and burst into laughter whenever Justin Timberlake says "It's gonna be me" in that nasally way that makes "me" sound like "May". Oh, you don't do that? Uhh... me neither. It's my birthday All of...
Greek Avocado Salad with Garlic-Dill Vinaigrette
How many more times do you think I'm going to bundle up in my puffiest ski jacket before taking a step outside and realizing that the sinisterly frigid season is decidedly over-- not just "it's technically spring" over, but "I can go to the grocery store with a t-shirt on and survive strolling through the refrigerated section" over?
Honey Lemon Chiffon Pie
Well I'll bee damned. I've gotta tell you, I said "this probably isn't going to turn out" to myself at least 17 times as I made this pie. But much to my surprise, the bees wound up looking like bees, the honeycomb pattern looked like honeycomb, the filling set to an awesome consistency, and the Honey...
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...
Hot Honey Garlic Sweet Potato Bake
Brace yourself for an unpopular opinion:
Garlic Knot Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches
Did I ever tell you about the time that I wound up with 13 pounds of garlic knots tossed in bowls that were strewn across my kitchen, with flour and oil and garlic skins littering any potential open counter space? Oh, well that's probably because it just happened. It was an interesting way to spend Valentine's...
Baked Boneless Wings 4 Ways
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, I've been craving one thing for weeks: wings. Or more accurately, boneless wings, which aren't really chicken wings at all-- they're chunks of chicken breast which are prepared in the traditional wing fashion. That is to say that they're crispy and coated with flavorful sauce, but with...
30 Minute Chicken & Broccoli Tortellini Alfredo Bake
How I imagine the average food bloggers' dinner routine goes: She opens the kitchen windows to let the sunshine and smells from her garden soak into her house. She inhales deeply and smiles as she reaches for the vegetables she's grown herself, then slowly, precisely chops them as woodland creatures poke their little heads through the window to...
Blackberry Basil Moscow Mules
Eight years ago, I was finding respite from the constant chaos of my apartment (that's a story for another time) with my upstairs housemates and an oversized bowl of beef-flavored instant ramen. Komal made it for the four of us, because despite being a stereotypical broke and miserable college student-- as we all were, at...
Sheet-Pan Tandoori Chicken & Vegetables
If there was ever evidence of my incessant complaining having any sort of pull in this universe, it would be when the strip mall Indian joint appeared in this otherwise dull and flavorless town. Harsh, I know. But it's true. In the months since it opened, James and I have eaten at that Indian restaurant... ah, more times than...
French Onion Beef Sliders For A Crowd
They may be small, but these French Onion Beef Sliders will be a huge hit with the crowd at your next party. Seasoned and buttery buns are packed with caramelized onions, melted cheese, and flavorful ground beef to create the sort of appetizer that flies off of the plate. Daaaamn, Morgan! Back at it again...
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...
Creole Crab-Stuffed Deviled Eggs
These Creole Crab-Stuffed Deviled Eggs just changed the game. But just for one second, let's forget that you ever heard about these, and the game is as it was. What's the first thing you think of when you hear "deviled eggs"? Is it some elderly-aged get-together with a table full of mayonnaise-laced, retro recipes? It's not...
Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken Chili with Plantain Chips
Consider this my SOS call.
Rum-Caramelized Banana Berry Nut Crumble
As someone who dislikes both bananas and berries, the fact that this recipe exists on this blog is practically a pre-Christmas miracle. Fruity desserts aren't typically my jam-- Get it? Jam? ...Sorry -- but I had to step outside of my chocolate-covered comfort zone last week. You see, my brother, the king of clean eating,...
Cheesy Pineapple-Habanero Bacon Dip
I trust you've pulled through your tryptophan-induced coma, and that's why you're here today, searching for something to shake things up after a week of Thanksgiving flavors. Friend, I feel ya. How's Cheesy Pineapple-Habanero Bacon Dip sound to you? Personally, my fancy is so tickled by the 3 types of cheese, caramelized fruit, smoky cured pork, Caribbean...
Make-Ahead Rosemary Sweet Potato Rolls
One of the most universally loved dining-out experiences has to be when your waiter unexpectedly brings out a basket of freshly baked rolls, right? Who isn't overcome with happiness for just a few seconds when you see that bundle of bread? They make my heart happy; warm rolls just get me in a way no one else...
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...
Smoky Chipotle Pumpkin Hummus
This might sound strange coming from the girl who just posted a recipe for Loaded Pizza Nachos (and spent the entirety of the post passionately declaring her love for cheese-covered triangles), but my favorite food to make is actually healthy food. Wait, let me rephrase that. My favorite is the kind that's flavorful, comforting, and healthy. No, make that flavorful,...
Nutella Pumpkin Samoa Cookies
Happy Halloweekend! I know we're excited about the here-and-now holiday, but I want to throw it back for just a second. Long, long ago, in the fabulous, fabled era of the nineteen-nineties, I was a young girl who had a vast and varied collection of beanie babies, a stockpile of gel pens, a dozen audio cassettes, three Lisa Frank folders, two tamagotchis,...
Saucy Spanish Chicken, Chorizo, and Potato Pot
I don't know what I've enjoyed more: soaking up all of the compliments I've gotten about this Saucy Spanish Chicken, Chorizo, and Potato Pot, or soaking up all of that sauce with slice after slice of crusty bread. On second thought, I'm totally lying. It's the sauce, hands down, no contest. I'm in love with it, I want...
