Eight years ago, I was finding respite from the constant chaos of my apartment (that’s a story for another time) with my upstairs housemates and an oversized bowl of beef-flavored instant ramen. Komal made it for the four of us, because despite being a stereotypical broke and miserable college student– as we all were, at…
Sheet-Pan Tandoori Chicken & Vegetables
If there was ever evidence of my incessant complaining having any sort of pull in this universe, it would be when the strip mall Indian joint appeared in this otherwise dull and flavorless town. Harsh, I know. But it’s true. In the months since it opened, James and I have eaten at that Indian restaurant… ah, more times than…
Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Garlic Bread
So I’ve seemingly tripped at the entrance of 2017 and fallen clean past the “healthy eating of the New Year” phase, straight down to the foot of Super Bowl snack-time. Oh nooooo… ? Ah, I can’t even pretend to be bummed about it.
Rum-Caramelized Banana Berry Nut Crumble
As someone who dislikes both bananas and berries, the fact that this recipe exists on this blog is practically a pre-Christmas miracle. Fruity desserts aren’t typically my jam– Get it? Jam? …Sorry — but I had to step outside of my chocolate-covered comfort zone last week. You see, my brother, the king of clean eating,…
Crispy Cranberry-Herb Butter Butterflied Turkey with Roasted Vegetables
See all of those glorious blackened bits? I bet you can’t make this turkey and not pick off some of those morsels to eat them before serving. Go on and try– call it an impossible exercise in self-restraint. Just like with any “blackened” recipe, the charred bits on this Crispy Cranberry-Herb Butter Butterflied Turkey with Roasted Vegetables are the…
How To Make The Ultimate Autumn Harvest Cheese Board
I’m not sure if I’ve ever gone on record with this admission before, and I’m a little nervous to let the secret slip. But here goes: I could take or leave Thanksgiving food. There, I said it. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love fall flavors. Carbs are my closest pals. Turkey and I are tight…
Korean Chicken and Kimchi-Fried Rice Bowls
Can I just say (in-between mouthfuls) that I’m so happy no one can see me right now? You know, as I intermittently shovel forkfuls of leftovers into my face, spill grains all over the keyboard of my laptop, and, since we’re being so candid, grunt like a hungry beast? Yes, I know that it’s not lady-like. It’s certainly…
15 Minute Pimento Beer Cheese
This 15 Minute Pimento Beer Cheese is dangerous. You might want to close out of this blog post right now. Navigate away, look elsewhere, forget you ever saw this glorious cheese masterpiece and go on with your life. Seriously, I’m only trying to help you out here, because once you try 15 Minute Pimento Beer…
Thai Curry Turkey Burgers with Spicy Mayo and Coconut-Lime Slaw
For all of the things I get nervous about– and trust me, despite my totally cool demeanor, there are a lot of them: flying, accidentally stepping on bugs when I’m barefoot, and parallel parking, for example– I’m not one to hesitate when it comes to experimenting with seasoning and spice. What comes of these fearless forays into flavor-town? Sometimes it’s…
Whipped Feta Tzatziki Hummus
There was a time, rather recently actually, when I swore my allegiance to a particular hummus recipe. I made some pretty bold proclamations to friends and family, like: “You could fly to the Middle East and try every centuries-old recipe from every beloved grandmother and every frequented street vendor and still never find hummus this perfect.”…
One Pot Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Pasta
It was bound to happen. Between my buffalo chicken obsession and never-ending stream of one pot pasta recipes, you probably saw this coming, right? Yes, you know what I’m talking about. It’s creamy, it’s cheesy, it’s spicy, and it’s carby. It’s what love songs and heart-eye-emojis were made for. It’s all of my guilty pleasures wrapped up into one…
Strawberry Dragon Fruit Margaritas
I’m drinking Strawberry Dragon fruit Margaritas today for a few reasons: I’m celebrating the fact that I finally am feeling well enough to function like a real human being after a month of mystery illness. Please say I didn’t just jinx myself. Speaking of jinxes (or Jynxes, I guess), I started playing Pokémon Go along…
Mexican Brick Chicken with Grilled Corn and Avocados
Say hello to the debunker of the Beer Can Chicken craze. You may think you know the tastiest way to grill a whole chicken, but I’m about to cast some doubt and introduce you to this delicious, crispy, juicy, spicy, delicious (again for emphasis) Mexican Brick Chicken with Grilled Corn and Avocados.
Saucy Skillet Chicken Sausage and Spinach Stuffed Peppers
There’s something about stuffed peppers that always feels like the cozy, tuck-you-in type of comfort food to me. They’re also the kind of comfort food that I tend to avoid in the warmer months because most recipes require turning on the oven. When it feels like an oven outside, I try not to use the oven inside, you know?…
30 Minute Thai Beef Stir Fry with Sriracha Roasted Peanuts
The toothpaste is out of the tube, and there’s no putting it back. Not that anyone would want to. Thai food has been in the US since long before I was born. It was largely introduced when Vietnam War soldiers were on R&R in Thailand and enjoyed local dishes, fell for the women who prepared them, and brought…
Sun-Dried Tomato Crusted Chicken with Goat Cheese and Herb Sauce
My little brother Mark– or maybe I should say my younger brother, as he’s not very little anymore– doesn’t fit the stereotype of the annoying bratty sibling. In fact, he’s pretty much the coolest kid– or I guess man, now– that I know. That’s mainly due to the fact that he spent most of his early years trying to be like me….
