This Homemade Garlic Naan recipe is truly the best. Even if you’ve never made bread at home before, this soft, chewy, garlicky flatbread is easy to make and well worth the effort. You’re going to love serving it with your favorite Indian dishes. Bread-baking seems a little intimidating at times, doesn’t it? If I could…
Jack Daniels Burgers
Jack Daniels Burgers. These juicy, glazed cheeseburgers taste just like the ones at T.G.I. Friday’s. The sweet, sticky glaze (and a few tips) will take your typical backyard burgers to the next level. Like most of the recipes I share here, this one started with an obsession. Unlike the rest, however, the obsession wasn’t mine at…
20 Minute Corn Carbonara
20 Minute Corn Carbonara. This quick and easy pasta dish is filled with fresh corn and bacon, and flavored with a creamy corn-based sauce. No eggs are necessary for this spin on carbonara! I think that other Jerseyans can relate to the fact that no matter where we travel (in this country or another), if…
Ultra Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits
If there is one thing I’ve learned from my visits to the Southeastern states throughout the years, it’s that I am undoubtedly a New Jersey girl. No, not the fist-fighting, tanning-booth-happy, thick-accented variety that The Jersey Shore and Real Housewives made famous (although I’ll admit that I did a pretty awful job with some Jergen’s…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup
January is always a month of confusion for me– How long will it take me to remember to write “/16” when I’m jotting down the date? When did it get so cold? When did my jeans get so snug? And on that note, will I flood the blog with healthy recipes? Or should I focus on fattier (and far…
Easy Applesauce Drop Doughnuts with Caramel Glaze
I’ve got to be quick today, for two reasons: First, because Hanukkah is just around the corner, and I want you to seriously consider making these Easy Applesauce Drop Doughnuts with Caramel Glaze for your holiday get-together. They’re fried, they’re much easier and quicker to make than Sufganiyah (they take less than an hour from start…
Michael Solomonov’s Perfect Hummus Tehina
Put that Sabra back on the shelf because you are never going to buy prepackaged hummus again. I won’t even be sensitive with my assumptions here. You’re going to love this, for the same reasons that it’s been heralded as the best hummus on the east coast, been named Bon Appétit’s 2015 Best Dish of The…
Ultimate Sweet Potato Casserole
Listen, I know that casseroles are supposed to be just “throw it together and bake” types of dishes, but sweet potato casserole is typically reserved for special holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, and if I’m going to make anything on those days, I’m going to make it right. That means no dried out turkey, no soggy lasagna,…
One Pot Penne Alla Vodka with Sausage
All logical reasons considered, I should NOT like Penne Alla Vodka. I’ve only recently come around to tomato-based sauces (and still approach them with caution), and the vodka– well, for all of the reasons I’ve ever imbibed, “Vodka is delicious” has never been one of them. Yet here I am, eating a bowl full of…
