Do you want to know the absolute worst part of being a food blogger? I hope you said yes; I'm going to assume you said yes. The WORST part of food blogging is that you almost never have the time to make a recipe more than once or twice. Think about it-- you spend all...

Crock Pot White Bean Chicken Chili
We're half-way through September and we've got out feet firmly planted in soup season, which makes me a happy gal.  Is there anything better than slurping up a big bowl of broth-bathed meat, noodles, and veggies? That was a rhetorical question-- the answer is yes.  Yes, there is, by a margin.  Her name is Chili. The...
Mediterranean Vegetable Lasagna
Okay, I'm just going to lay it out there right away-- this isn't really a lasagna.  Please put down your pitchforks, food-name-purists, and open your hearts to this layered lasagna-esque casserole of zucchini, eggplant, spinach, cheese, and bechamel.  It's seriously yummy, no matter what you call it in-between mouthfuls. Ever since I first made the Zucchini,...
Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Corn Dip
] And so it has begun. Every 3 minutes, James has been getting notifications from ESPN about another football player who is injured and out for the season, roster projections, and anything that might even mildly pertain to football in some obscure way. He keeps patiently explaining to me every single thing that I somehow forgot...
Mom's Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers
When I first posted this recipe for Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers years ago, I knew it would become a favorite with my readers because it was already a favorite of mine. Of all of the recipes that I post on this blog, this one is undoubtedly the one I make most often. It's the perfect...
Fried Pickle Poppers
As a "northerner", there are a lot of foods that I feel it took me far too long to discover. I've fallen in love with BBQ brisket, pecan pie, collard greens, fried green tomatoes, and chicken fried steak all within the past few years. There's no denying that there's some delicious dishes to be had...
Mozzarella-Stuffed Chicken Parm Meatballs
At all times, I have at least 3 varieties of mozzarella in my fridge. Â Bocconcini, shredded, sliced, mozzarella di bufala... it's all got its place in my heart and in my meals (especially since I learned how to make my own fresh mozzarella). Â I could --and would-- eat mozzarella in everything, but I try to...
One Pot Cheesy Chicken Taco Rice
"One Pot" recipes have become favorites of mine, since a) I hate washing dishes and b) I hate washing dishes. By the way, did I mention that I hate washing dishes? Because I do. I hate it. But you know what I don't hate? Delicious chicken, beans, corn, rice, tomato, avocado, onions, and cheese all cooked together in...
Loaded Greek Chicken "Pitzas"
Sometimes my cooking "failures" work out even better in the end. When I say "sometimes", I mean almost never, but this recipe was one exception to the typical disaster that is my kitchen on a bad cooking day.  (Yes, we all have them!)  I wanted to make a regular pizza with Greek toppings, but my dough was...
Creamy Pesto Pasta Salad
This Creamy Pesto Pasta Salad is everything you always wished your cookout side dish could be. It's loaded up with flavorful ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, peppery arugula, and fresh mozzarella balls, and tossed in a creamy pesto dressing that will make your mouth water just thinking about it. I first made this recipe as a...
One Pot Roasted Red Pepper and Sausage Alfredo
You know that feeling when you're working on something and you're like 75% sure it's not going to turn out well for one reason or another? That's how I felt about this One Pot Roasted Red Pepper and Sausage Alfredo. Â I should have been more confident, I guess, since the One Pot Spicy Chicken Riggies...
Best Ever No-Knead Pan Pizza
I've been on a bit of a pizza-kick lately.  And by a bit of a pizza kick, I mean that the only thing I've been craving for the past month has been pizza. I'm not even going to tell you how many times I've ordered a pie, or how many dreams I've had involving pizza...
Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken Kebabs
You want bacon recipes? I've got twenty. But who cares? No big deal. I want mooooooooore... I once thought that recipes including bacon were pretty straight forward. You'd just fry up some meaty goodness in its own fat, crumble it up if you'd like, and mix it in. Then I found out about Bacon Jam,...
Eggplant, Prosciutto, & Pesto Pressed Picnic Sandwiches
"These sandwiches were so delectable that the enzymes in my palate shivered with excitement" - James, when asked how begin this blog post. And that is why he is not a food blogger. But he is a big fan of these sandwiches, because.... well, who wouldn't be?  Homemade pesto, grilled eggplant, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers,...
B.L.A.T. Croque Madame
If I could only eat one breakfast food for the rest of my life, it would be this one.
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, Â and I would dive in face-first with reckless abandon. Cheesy carbs of any sort are just my thang... Â but the true obliterator of any...
Cheesy Crab and Artichoke Dip
Even before this dip was ready, I was hovering by the oven, mouth watering, impatiently waiting to dig in and burn the absolute life out of my mouth. Â I knew it was going to be good. Â It was loaded up with cheese, lump crab meat, and artichokes. Â There was no way it was going to...
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
There is not enough coffee in the world to save me today. I woke up at the crack of dawn yesterday to get my cooking done (look out for the Carrot Cake Cheesecake recipe coming up-- it should be illegal, it's so sinfully good) and then took a long, hurried drive/train ride to Newark for...
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. Â I wasn't expecting much, but after just one meal, I was hooked. Â Love at first bite. Â But after I graduated, I quickly outgrew that fast food obsession. Â I opt instead to cook all...
Jamaican Jerk Chicken Quesadillas
I take after my dad in many ways-- my endearing disorganization (can't blame me for trying to make it sound like a good thing), my creativity, and of course, my desire to cover anything and everything in jerk seasoning if given a chance. There was always a jar of Walkerswood in the fridge growing up,...
Tequila Lime Chicken Sandwiches with Guacamole and Chipotle Mayo
When I go out to eat at a casual restaurant, there's about a 75% chance I'm going to get a chicken sandwich if there is one on the menu. It's only 75% because sometimes I like to "broaden my horizons", or whatever you'd like to call it. But the truth is I could get chicken...
Cheesy Crab Poppers
It's Christmas Eve and I've got about 20 million things to get done, but I have one very important thing to do before I can go brave the cold and brace myself against the hoards of last minute shoppers-- I've got to share this recipe with you. I made these Cheesy Crab Poppers on...
Spicy Fried Shrimp
The first time I ever ordered Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill, I sang "She Bangs" (you know, the song by Ricky Martin-- but I sang it like William Hung) for about a week. It was a silly association, but it was so severely stuck in my head that it was driving me crazy. I...
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...
Pretzel Bread
So, I'm well aware that I have kind of done this before. One of my first posts on this blog was for German Pretzel Rolls, which I guess are essentially pretty similar to Pretzel Bread, but I make no apologies. Why? Because pretzels are my favorite things ever, as you may have already known from the...
Roasted Garlic Gnocchi with Bacon, Spinach, and Smoked Gouda Cream Sauce
Since I started experimenting in the kitchen a few years ago, there hasn't been much that I've been too scared to attempt. Â Most of the time, my eagerness to jump right in to a new technique or use a new ingredient has proved well worth it, although I have to admit that I've had more...
Freezer-Friendly Athenian Chicken Quesadillas
I'm not ashamed to admit that out of all the awesome places I've eaten (and there have been many), my favorite place to frequent has always been a little dive bar just up the road from my mom's house. It's an unassuming spot that's far too small for the amount of locals who crowd in for...
French Onion Soup Sticks
Meet my new favorite fall food. I was looking over my collection of "must make" recipe ideas the other day when I realized I still hadn't tackled the "French Onion Soup, but not soup" request that has been sitting on the top of the list for almost a year now. It's probably been...
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. Â I don't find anything wrong with spending hours in the kitchen, or searching high and low for the best ingredients, or meticulously planning out the details of each course. Â Food is something...
Watermelon Bruschetta with Whipped Feta, Basil, and Balsamic Drizzle
As you might already know, this weekend James and I went to North Carolina to visit my cousin Ashley and her fiancé Evan, and just as I promised, you're going to hear a lot about it in the next few weeks, starting right now. First of all, let me just say that Mother Nature...
Mexican Stuffed Peppers (Chorizo-Stuffed Poblanos)
I remade these Mexican Stuffed Peppers so that they're better than ever.  Check out the new post, recipe, and photos HERE. This past weekend, James and I went to an awesome little barbecue place in his town and pigged out (see what I did there?).  It was fantastic, and I've definitely been inspired for some future...
Mini Pretzel Dogs
Forgive me if I'm repeating myself here (which I'm nearly positive I am), but I consider myself a pretzel expert. Or maybe more of a pretzel fanatic. I mean, whatever you call it, there's definitely an obsession there. Thin, sourdough, mall-style or Philly-- I'll take them all. I worked at Auntie Anne's for...
Rosemary Olive Oil Crock Pot Bread
HEY! There are better pictures, PLUS the recipe you're looking for, PLUS a recipe for Olive Oil Herb Dip to go with your Rosemary Olive Oil Crock Pot Bread HERE! *Sample photo from the new post-- go check it out!* Ah, I see you've decided to just scroll down anyway instead of viewing the...
Maryland Crab Cakes with Horseradish-Sriracha Remoulade
It all started about 2 months ago, when my good friend and past housemate (and avid reader of this blog-- hi, Rachel) mentioned that she wants to meet up at Chickie's & Pete's some day over the summer, which may or may not be my favorite sports bar due to it's abundance of shellfish, mollusks,...
Creamy Margarita Popsicles
They always say you should write about what you know. Well, I know how to put alcohol in anything. I learned a lot in college. Because I couldn't decide on a major for the longest time, I took classes in pretty much every subject out there. Everything from linguistics to psychology to art have been in my arsenal...
Chile Relleno
I'll cut to the chase: This is good. I mean, it's really good, the type of really good that makes it difficult for me to not leap out of my seat, speed off to the grocery store, and stock up on ingredients to make another batch. It's the type of Chile Relleno you find in...
Pasta Greco
I've apologized once before for keeping a recipe from you for a week. I don't even know how to properly apologize for this one-- I've been keeping this from you for months now. Of all things to keep from you, why Pasta Greco?  I have no idea.  This is my go-to recipe.  It is so delicious, and...
Buffalo Chicken Dip
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) So you love to serve buffalo chicken at your football gatherings? Well ditch the messy wings with dozens of bones and greasy fingers (which of course wind up being wiped on pillows and pant legs by the less cleanly guests) and try this cheesy, flavorful...
Pretzel Rolls
Homemade Pretzel Rolls: soft on the inside, salty and chewy on the outside, and now better than ever! No lye necessary, these fluffy, perfectly browned, slider-sized pretzels are surprisingly easy to make. Fill them with ham and cheese, bratwurst, or even mini burgers. Hot. Tempting. Perfectly tanned. I'm talking about pretzels, ladies and gents. You’ve had...

HI! I'm Morgan, and this is where I share all of the food that I photograph before I send it off to my stomach. You’ll see a wide range of recipes here because my appetite knows no allegiance. That means some recipes will be bacon-wrapped, some will be vegetarian, some will be sweet, some will...
