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…
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers
I can feel football season in the air. It’s coming. I keep hearing whispers of fantasy football drafts, predictions for the season, and plans for tailgates, and I am beyond excited. Not because of some burning, deep-in-my-soul love for the game (although I have to admit, I get a little bit intense when the season heats up),…
Loaded Buffalo Chicken Nachos
The best things in life are meant to be shared. Please remind me of that this upcoming football Sunday when I am HOARDING these Loaded Buffalo Chicken Nachos to myself. Don’t be surprised if you find me whispering “my precious” over them and viciously swatting away the hands of friends and family members who are…
Fig, Blue Cheese, and Walnut Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing
I’m getting panicky because fig season is almost over and that means that I’m not going to be able to make my absolute favorite salad again for another 8 months. Even worse, I nearly didn’t have enough time to share the recipe for Fig, Blue Cheese, and Walnut Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing with you, and now…
Grilled Balsamic Steak with Blue Cheese Butter
In the past year and a half that I’ve been blogging, I have really warmed up to steak. “Warmed up” as in I can’t get enough of it and I weep for the 22 years of my life that I wasted without it. It’s like when you’re in a relationship, and you really love someone,…
Warm Balsamic Steak and Vegetable Medley
Let me be upfront with you: I had no idea what to call this dish, so if the name of the recipe sounds ridiculous, I’m sorry. At first I was thinking of calling it a “salad” because it technically is one, but I thought that could give people a different impression than what you actually…
Blue Cheese Garlic Beer Bread
Now that the cold weather has finally kicked in, most people are dreaming about baking up cookies, apple creations, and pumpkin masterpieces. You can definitely lump me in with that bunch– my kitchen has been smelling like brown sugar and cinnamon for the past several weeks now, and there’s no sign of it stopping any…
Bacon Blue Cheese Burger Skins
For 22 years of my life, I avoided blue cheese like the plague. I don’t know why I refused to try it. I don’t know what made me decide that I’d despise it. All I know is that, for the large majority of my life, I deprived myself of one of the most enjoyable flavors…
Mango and Blue Cheese Salad
“This piece is ugly. Eat it,” my boyfriend demanded as he cut up a fresh mango for me. “I don’t like mangoes,” I told him, and the ugly piece was offered to guests at my house until finally someone eagerly accepted—the only person who liked mangoes at all. Why was I adding mango to a…
