Sweet Potato Chorizo Chili with Poblano-Avocado Crema
Sweet Potato Chorizo Chili with Poblano-Avocado Crema. If you’ve never added potatoes to chili before, prepare to be wowed by the heartiness of this intensely flavor-packed chili. There’s a reason I’ve been making this recipe for years! Every fall, my house goes absolutely soup-crazy. The second the slightest chill can be detected in the air,…
Green Chile Chicken Quesadilla Sticks
You could say that I’m extra invested in football season this year. The guys got NFL Sunday Ticket so we now get all of the games at home, I finally formed my own fantasy football league, and most importantly, I actually took time in the off-season to study up so I kinda know what I’m…
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…
Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken Chili with Plantain Chips
Consider this my SOS call.
Mexican Chocolate Custard Cake with Spiked Marshmallow Whipped Cream
I’m not up-to-date on my Sesame Street these days, but back when I was just a wee tyke, they’d always let you know of some special numbers and letters that were important to the show– and I’m totally ripping them off today with this post that is brought to you by the #26.
Spicy Sesame-Chili Noodles with Chicken
When people find out that I’m a food blogger, they seem to be under the impression that my cabinets are overflowing with the most sophisticated of ingredients, and that I casually toss together grand culinary masterpieces day in and day out. Well, I wish. Just like everyone else, I dread spending too much time in the supermarket….
Slow Cooker Chili Cheese Dog Dip
Over 2 years ago, I made a Chili Cheese Dog Dip that would haunt me until this very day. Not because it wasn’t delicious (trust me, it was), but because every single time I would ask James, “Guess what I’m making this week,” he would guess Chili Cheese Dog Dip. Every. Time. I eventually stopped asking…
Easy Homemade Enchilada Sauce
This past Saturday was one of those days when you actually start talking out loud to your online movie streaming source out of guilt. “Yes, I am still watching. I will tell you when I’ve had enough. I can quit any time. Just one more episode, I swear. Stop judging me, Netflix.” It was also (unsurprisingly)…
Mango Chile Glazed Shrimp
After an hour of blow-drying and flat-ironing, I’ve got Medusa-head going on within 30 seconds of walking outside. I can feel that August is just around the corner– that glorious month of hair-ruining humidity. Yes, August, when we finally come to terms with the fact that we never prepared for swimsuit season. Even well into swimsuit season, we…
Chili Rubbed Steak Tacos with Chimichurri
If you’ve hung around here long enough, you know that I already made Steak Tacos a little over a year ago. And if you’ve ever met my boyfriend, James, you probably know that they were his favorite meal I’ve ever made. That’s really a big deal considering I do this for a living. The man has…
Chorizo Green Chile Breakfast Skillet
I can usually tell by 8AM what the rest of the day is going to be like. If I only have time for a granola bar or coffee for breakfast, it’s gonna be a struggle. If I have, say, a Chorizo Green Chile Breakfast Skillet, I’m going to spend the rest of the day giddy…
Easy Cranberry Chipotle Cocktail Meatballs
I’ve got to be honest here, I didn’t come up with this idea entirely. The recipe is tweaked from another recipe that I’m seeing everywhere lately– one that is pretty good on its own but doesn’t reach the its full potential, in my opinion. I would absolutely link to the original source if I had any…
Chili Cheese Dog Dip
For me, football season has always been about the dips. In fact, when I was just getting interested in cooking, I made a few trays of dip for a Super Bowl party at my years-later-to-be-boyfriend’s fraternity house, and he even just recently reminded me of how kick-ass it was and how quickly it was devoured. …
Spicy Pork Bulgogi Sliders
It’s not often that you see Asian food gracing tables or tailgates once football season begins. There are hamburgers, hot dogs, wings, pizza, 7 layer dip, and of course, plenty of beer, but nothing to represent the world’s largest continent. I, for one, think that this is a tragedy (okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but…
