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,…

Southwestern Zucchini and Corn Bites with Avocado Ranch

Southwestern Zucchini and Corn Bites with Avocado Ranch. No need to break out the fryer for this recipe– these bite-sized, veggie-loaded treats are baked until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.  Have you ever been typing away at your computer, noticed a deep and urgent rumble in your stomach, and instantly knew, “I…

Jalapeño Popper Pigs in a Blanket

Narrowing down my Super Bowl menu has been next to impossible this year. Not only because I think I have some seriously scrumptious recipes in my repertoire (so humble, I know), but mainly because I am the most indecisive human of all time. For evidence of this, take note of the post from earlier this…

Cheesy Pineapple-Habanero Bacon Dip

I trust you’ve pulled through your tryptophan-induced coma, and that’s why you’re here today, searching for something to shake things up after a week of Thanksgiving flavors. Friend, I feel ya. How’s Cheesy Pineapple-Habanero Bacon Dip sound to you? Personally, my fancy is so tickled by the 3 types of cheese, caramelized fruit, smoky cured pork, Caribbean…

Saucy Spanish Chicken, Chorizo, and Potato Pot

I don’t know what I’ve enjoyed more: soaking up all of the compliments I’ve gotten about this Saucy Spanish Chicken, Chorizo, and Potato Pot, or soaking up all of that sauce with slice after slice of crusty bread. On second thought, I’m totally lying. It’s the sauce, hands down, no contest. I’m in love with it, I want…

Jalapeño Buttermilk Ranch Fried Chicken

It was with a metal mug full of Pimento Beer Cheese, a freezer full of Ultra Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits, and a mason jar overflowing with Jalapeño Buttermilk Ranch that I realized that I was missing an essential piece of the puzzle (or sandwich, as it was). I realized that I had no fried chicken for slathering…

Harissa-Lime Chicken and Couscous Skillet

Do you remember the movie Pleasantville? You know, the one where young Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon get sucked into a swell little 1950s TV town, and their influence transforms it into a place that’s colorful and sexy and lively and dangerous and all of those adjectives that are sooooooo much better than “pleasant”?

Jalapeño Popper Chorizo Taquitos with Creamy Avocado Sauce

I originally made these Jalapeño Popper Chorizo Taquitos with Creamy Avocado Sauce to prepare for my Cinco de Mayo / birthday party. I figured I could make them now, freeze them, and be ahead of the game for once. Like that would ever happen.

Chorizo, Caramelized Onion, and Poblano Sausage Rolls with Creamy Cilantro Dip

I have an almost impressive ability to polish off whole trays of pigs in a blanket in seconds flat. It’s not at all uncommon to catch me lingering by the appetizer spread at a party, eradicating the bite-sized cocktail sausages before anyone else gets an opportunity to enjoy them. I try to be discreet. I try to have…

Jalapeno Pinto Bean “Hummus”

If you asked me to describe hummus, I’d tell you that it was a creamy dip made mainly of chickpeas and tahini. Yet here I am, calling this pinto bean and jalapeno-packed dip by that name, even though it has neither chickpeas nor tahini in it. What gives? Well, flavor and texture-wise, Jalapeno Pinto Bean…

Thai Chicken Fajitas

So this is what happens when you decide to go Frankenstein on your favorite flavors. Someone put it in my head that I was on a fusion kick about a month ago, and now my brain refuses to go anywhere else. Luckily, my tastebuds appreciate this track of recipe experimentation, especially when there’s Thai Chicken Fajitas…

Jalapeño Queso Blanco Creamed Spinach

First things first: does this really count as creamed spinach? How much cheese does one have to add until you leave creamed spinach territory and it becomes something else entirely? I really don’t know. I’m not an expert on that southern side dish, but one thing I know for sure is that this is absolutely…

Pambazos (Mexican Salsa-Dunked Sandwiches)

I can’t help but pronounce “Pambazos” with a very exaggerated, stereotypical Italian-American accent.  Pam-BAAAH-zos! Even though I know that Pambazos are not Italian. Even though I know that they’re named after “pan basso”. Still, it’s pam-BAAAH-zos every time. But what is a Pambazo? It’s a guajillo salsa-dunked sandwich that’s traditionally filled with spicy chorizo and potatoes. In…

Mexican Turkey Burgers with Cilantro-Lime Pesto

Typical Turkey Burgers have never really been my thing, despite my mom’s best efforts to get me to enjoy them.  Save for the rare exception, they usually seem dry and unbelievably boring.  I’ll just have a hamburger, thanks. But I’ve been trying to eat a bit less red meat lately (I’d been downing blue cheese burgers with a…

One Pot Creamy Jalapeno Popper Chicken and Rice

A lot of my recipes are born out of laziness.  Laziness or resourcefulness, depending on how you look at it. When I made this recipe, I was too resourceful to wash a ton of dishes. I was also too resourceful to drag myself out to the grocery store. I had a serious craving for One Pot Cheesy Chicken Taco Rice last week, but I found…

Italian Stuffed Sweet Pepper Poppers

There’s no shortage of spiciness in my recipes.  I usually like my foods to have one heck of a kick, but many of my friends and family members can’t handle the heat as well.  Recipes including jalapeños are a no-go when I know I’ll be having certain people over for dinner, which takes a lot…
