Ever since making the Crispy-Outside Creamy-Inside Garlic Herb Potatoes, I have been totally and utterly obsessed with making the perfect potato side dishes. When done properly, potatoes can actually be the stars of your meal, and they fly off the plate like nothing you've ever seen before. Especially if that plate happens to be placed...

Cucumber Basil Gin and Tonic
I'm gonna be honest with you-- I had a very tame weekend filled with tbs movie marathons, trying to get work done on my laptop, and fried foods. And even though I'm not leaving any crazy spree of excitement behind as I enter the work week, I've got to say, I have a serious case of the Mondays...

Eggplant, Prosciutto, & Pesto Pressed Picnic Sandwiches

How To Tell If Your Avocado Is Ripe
I know I'm not the only one who spends 25 minutes hovering over the avocado bin at the grocery store every time I've got a recipe in mind that requires some of that green goodness. "Is this one too soft?" I wonder. "Too green?" "It looks good now, but how will it look in a...
Homemade Flour Tortillas
If there is, in fact, a "wrong way" to live, then I've been doing it wrong for years. Okay, that might be a little excessive, but the fact that I've been using store bought tortillas my whole life just feels so wrong now. If you've never had homemade flour tortillas, let me tell you, it's amazing...
Skillet Scalloped Potatoes
Put some cheese-covered carbs in front of me, and I get weak in the knees. You could serve up pasta with Parmesan, mac and cheese, or crusty bread with melted mozzarella, and I would dive in face-first with reckless abandon. Cheesy carbs of any sort are just my thang... but the true obliterator of any...

Chipotle-Pesto Chicken Burrito Bowls
It all started in college, when I stumbled into a new fast food restaurant to hold me over in between classes. I wasn't expecting much, but after just one meal, I was hooked. Love at first bite. But after I graduated, I quickly outgrew that fast food obsession. I opt instead to cook all...
Roasted Garlic and White Bean Soup with Crispy Prosciutto
It's supposed to start getting warmer soon right? I really hope so, because I for one have had enough of long days of shoveling and nights when no matter how many blankets I pile on my bed, I'm still freezing cold. One thing I'm not sick of, though, is getting cozy with a bowl of...
Cheesesteak Potato Skins
For all of my life, I've lived only minutes away from Philadelphia. I've been to Pat's and Geno's, I've had my cheesesteaks wiz wit or with a generous amount of provolone, I've made them at home, I've laughed when people call them "Philly Steak and Cheeses", and I've firmly asserted my old belief that green...
Bacon, Cheddar, Caramelized Onion, and Potato Pierogi
I wish I could tell you that there was some deep background history behind these pierogi-- that my father grew up in Poland and brought back the recipe from his family's long tradition, or that my mother used to enjoy them in the heart of Pittsburgh and shared the city secret of adding sour cream...
Pomegranate Mojito
Am I the only one who is completely blown away by how close to Christmas it is? Where did the time go? What have I been doing for the past month? I feel like Anchorman 2 has gotten more attention than the holidays this year, or maybe I just have selective hearing. Either way, I'm...
Tomato Bacon Bisque
Many years of disliking tomatoes and an unfortunate encounter with Campbell's canned tomato soup had me thinking all this time that any variation of the stuff wasn't for me. However, this year I decided that I was going to push myself to try things I usually wouldn't, because taste buds change and yadda yadda, so...
Thyme Brown Butter Mashed Sweet Potatoes
I'm hardly the only person in the country who has a serious smorgasbord sprawled around the dining room table every Thanksgiving.

However, there has...
How to Put Together Your Own Italian Wine and Antipasto Spread
I personally don't believe that you can go over-the-top with a meal as long as the taste is worth it in the end.

Grilled Pesto Chicken Sandwiches
Considering that I was obsessed with roasted red peppers for the first few years of learning to cook, I can hardly believe that I have included just one lonely recipe that uses them as an ingredient since starting this blog. In fact, obsessed might be an understatement here-- it was extremely rare that I ever made...
Tacos Al Pastor with Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa
Most likely, when we hear the word "taco" in the US, we think of the ground beef stuffed tortillas with a variety of garnishes that you can find everywhere from Taco Bell onward to the sit-down restaurants we frequent when a Mexican food craving grabs hold.
