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,…
Mexican Stuffed Peppers (Chorizo-Stuffed Poblanos)
Do you want to know the absolute worst part of being a food blogger? I hope you said yes; I’m going to assume you said yes. The WORST part of food blogging is that you almost never have the time to make a recipe more than once or twice. Think about it– you spend all…
Crock Pot White Bean Chicken Chili
We’re half-way through September and we’ve got out feet firmly planted in soup season, which makes me a happy gal.  Is there anything better than slurping up a big bowl of broth-bathed meat, noodles, and veggies? That was a rhetorical question– the answer is yes.  Yes, there is, by a margin.  Her name is Chili. The…
Blackened Fish Tacos with Avocado-Cilantro Sauce
I come from a family of avid taco lovers. We eat tacos of some sort at least twice a week (in fact, we had tacos last night), and every single week, when I ask my brother what I should make for the blog, he tells me to make tacos. The only thing that rivals my…
Chicken, Spinach, & Poblano Empanadas with Avocado-Jalapeno Dip

Baked Chicken Chimichangas with Monterey Jack Cheese Sauce
Yesterday I cried at Starbucks. Not like a little whimper, I’m talking full on sob-crying with little pools of tears collecting on the lid of my coffee. Â It was not my finest moment, guys. Â Not my finest moment at all. I’m pretty sure James was contemplating running for the hills and never looking back.
Bacon, Cheddar, Caramelized Onion, and Potato Pierogi
I wish I could tell you that there was some deep background history behind these pierogi– that my father grew up in Poland and brought back the recipe from his family’s long tradition, or that my mother used to enjoy them in the heart of Pittsburgh and shared the city secret of adding sour cream…
Mexican Stuffed Peppers (Chorizo-Stuffed Poblanos)
I remade these Mexican Stuffed Peppers so that they’re better than ever.  Check out the new post, recipe, and photos HERE. This past weekend, James and I went to an awesome little barbecue place in his town and pigged out (see what I did there?).  It was fantastic, and I’ve definitely been inspired for some future…
Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) One of my favorite things to do when I’m thinking up recipes is to randomly combine things that I love. As I was brainstorming things to make for the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series, I knew I wanted to make something that resembled a football. …
