Tarragon Mustard Chicken Skewers. Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, tarragon and honey are all you need to make an incredibly flavorful chicken marinade. This recipe for Tarragon Mustard Chicken Skewers has also been featured on Serious Eats. Given that Mike The Housemate (as I’ve now decided he should be named) winces in disgust at…
Grilled Peach and Halloumi Panzanella
Grilled Peach and Halloumi Panzanella. This summer salad includes a mix of quickly grilled peaches, halloumi cheese, and ciabatta bread croutons that are tossed with fresh basil, red onions, and a simple white balsamic vinaigrette. It looks and tastes fancy, but it only takes less than a half-hour to prepare! I placed this platter on…
Sweet Mustard Pork and Potato Packets
Sweet Mustard Pork and Potato Packets. They say good things come in small packages. These tangy, sweet, and smoky pork chop foil packets prove it– and they’re extremely easy to make, to boot. This post is brought to you by French’s. All opinions expressed are my own. It’s summertime, and the living is easy, because…
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….
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. I did not inherit my endless (and frighteningly insatiable) appetite from her. But sometimes she surprises me, like when I told her that she could have the first taste…
Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Nuggets Stuffed with Beer Cheese
It was almost exactly three years ago that I was spending my Winter Break at Rutgers, hanging out with whichever of my sorority sisters were still around, wasting countless hours at James’ fraternity house, and singing and dancing to Christmas songs with all of our friends who decided to stay in New Brunswick. James and I weren’t…
Pecan Crusted Cajun Catfish with Maple Dijon Sauce
I don’t have many fish recipes up on the blog because, honestly, I’m not a huge fan. There have been very few times that I’ve eaten fish and enjoyed it, or at least not thought, “This would be even better if it was chicken.” In fact, there’s only been one fish dish that I can…
Baked Pulled Pork Egg Rolls
Ever since my trip to North Carolina, I can’t get two things out of my head: one, I really miss my cousin and wish we lived closer to each other (cue “d’awww”s), and two, I am developing an unhealthy obsession with pulled pork. When I say “unhealthy obsession”, I mean that I’ve been…
Cuban Sandwich
I don’t know about you, but I personally find the sandwich very underrated. Go, take your caviar, your duck foie gras, your poached lobster tail, and just drop me off at the deli. (Well, maybe we could split the lobster tail. You’re not going to finish it all, are you? Better yet, I could probably…
Mini Pretzel Dogs
Forgive me if I’m repeating myself here (which I’m nearly positive I am), but I consider myself a pretzel expert. Or maybe more of a pretzel fanatic. I mean, whatever you call it, there’s definitely an obsession there. Thin, sourdough, mall-style or Philly– I’ll take them all. I worked at Auntie Anne’s for…
