Hawaiian Huli Huli Grilled Chicken Wings

This recipe has also been featured on Serious Eats. Consider this my petition against the end of the so-called “grilling season”. Everywhere I looked over the past couple of days, there were articles and advertisements proclaiming that Labor Day Weekend was our last chance to grill up some burgers and dogs, enjoy the sunshine, and host a backyard…

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…

Nachos Al Pastor

I make no claim to the title of Nacho Elitist; I’ll eat ’em even if they’re microwaved, smothered in fake cheese, and soggy-bottomed– they are nachos, after all. But I do have to say that sometimes you have to splurge a little and do nachos the right way, and yes, there is a right way.  The Right Way™…

Caramelized Pineapple and Jalapeño Margaritas

My birthday is 2 weeks before Cinco de Mayo, yet it took me nearly 26 years to realize that throwing a combination party stocked with salsas and overflowing with margaritas would be right up my alley. Apparently, it is also right up the alley of far more friends than I ever thought would RSVP, and now the…

Blueberry Pineapple Margaritas

Is it just me, or are you also gasping at the fact that it’s May already?! Wasn’t it just Christmas? I’m still getting used to writing “2015” on things. Still, I’m not complaining. May means beach-worthy weather is on the way. May means longer days of sunlight. May means Cinco de Mayo, and oh my Mexican-food-loving stars, do…

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…

Crock Pot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

When I’m in a creative slump, I always go to my friends and family for recipe inspiration.  What does my cousin Ashley tell me to make every time? Hawaiian Chicken. Every. Single. Time. Even though she’s been telling me to make Hawaiian Chicken for over a year now (seriously), I kept putting it off because……

Tacos Al Pastor with Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa

  Most likely, when we hear the word “taco” in the US, we think of the ground beef stuffed tortillas with a variety of garnishes that you can find everywhere from Taco Bell onward to the sit-down restaurants we frequent when a Mexican food craving grabs hold.  However, in Mexico, ground beef tacos really aren’t popular at…

Coco Pina Margarita

I have my first sunburn of the year, everyone.  It’s not of the same, near-watermelon pink fate that my boyfriend’s poor skin endured, nor the kind that leaves uneven strips of ghostly white where sunglasses or tank top straps once rested.  Still, it’s there.  Just barely.   Really I do mean just barely, but there’s…

St. Patrick’s Day Punch

Over the years, I have formed several St. Patrick’s Day traditions. Some involve food, others involve places to go, and absolutely none of them involve green beer (I’ll have a Guinness instead, please!)  However, that’s not to say I don’t sip a little green libation when the 17th of March nears.  I love bringing this…
