Honey Dijon Chicken Cheesesteaks on Pretzel Rolls
My mom is not a big eater. She is perfectly content having salad for dinner most nights, and she sticks to small portion sizes when she eats anything else.

Warm Balsamic Steak and Vegetable Medley

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...

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".

Sticky Chipotle-Peach Chicken
I'll get to this Sticky Chipotle-Peach Chicken in a second, but first I have to ask, is it just me? Am I the only one whose mind, during the duller moments of the day, drifts to all of the cringe-worthy choices and mortifying mistakes made in the past? Usually it's the parked car I hit shortly...

Easy Salted Caramel Molten Lava Cakes

Well, my biggest life goal at that age was to be a dinosaur...
Easy Cheesy Pretzel Sticks
This certainly isn't the first time I've made soft pretzels for the blog.

It's also not the first time I've professed my undying love for...
Mongolian Beef
You would think that a dish called "Mongolian Beef" would be, well, a Mongolian meal made of beef.  But we apparently have a tendency to just name things on a whim around here, and Mongolian Beef has absolutely nothing to do with Mongolian methods of cooking. Nada. Instead, it resembles the Americanized versions of Chinese food, which,...
Frico Egg Breakfast Tacos
Raise your hand if you go to bed excited to wake up and eat leftovers for breakfast. (My hand's up, and I really hope I'm not the only one.)

Chicken Cacciatore
When I used to think "date night", I didn't think "chicken".  Medium-rare steaks, juicy pork tenderloin, butter-drenched lobster; sure.  But chicken?  Nah.  It's just too boring.  Too bland.  Not sexy enough. However, after 3 years of James begging me to make Chicken Cacciatore, I finally caved.  I had eaten it before-- a simple meal of tomatoes, peppers,...
Goat Cheese and Chive Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are, admittedly, one of my least favorite ways to get my share of spuds. Â It might just be me, but I'm extremely picky with my mashed potatoes, and most of them just don't make the cut. Â It's so easy for them too be too smooth, too lumpy, too gummy, too bland... and for...
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...
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...
