It has been three entire days since I've posted a new recipe...I definitely try my best to post more often than that, but I had a recipe fail that I worked on for two days and just ended up trashing. "Chicken Parmesan Cups"....the bane of my existence. I literally tried for hours to figure out the perfect, easiest way to bake Parmesan cheese in the oven and then form it into little cups using ...
Mexican Twice Baked Potatoes
Twice baked potatoes...they are seriously some of the best things you can possibly eat. One of my all time faves. Well, this Mexican version is a different and equally delicious take on the classic twice baked potato. Instead of using bacon, it uses lean ground beef that is seasoned with taco spices. It uses Greek yogurt as a substitute for the cream you would usually use to mash the potatoes in ...
30 Minute One Pot White Chicken Chili
"This chili is way too delicious to be done in 30 minutes"...is what you would think after trying this yummy recipe. But it is true...perfect white chicken chili...one pot...thirty minutes. Bam. This chili is so easy! But the flavors are just amazing. The chili powder and cumin give it an authentic taste, and the lime just brings it to a-whole-nother level. I've never made "white" chili before ...
Not’cho Momma’s Meatloaf
This is HANDS DOWN the best meatloaf I have ever had. Seriously. I have never been the biggest fan of meatloaf...the texture of the loaf and the whole dried ketchup crust thing always really bothered me. Especially the dried ketchup crust. But this...is...so...good. It's juicy, it's absolutely packed with flavor, it has a crisp texture on the outside from the sear at the end...it's just perfect. ...
Orange, Fennel, and Walnut Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Up until I was around 16 or 17 I hated salads. The only time I would ever eat one is if it was made up of iceberg lettuce and pools of ranch. The most adventurous I got with the vegetables was carrots and cucumbers. So because of that, I still struggle with creating really delicious and interesting salads because I didn't start experimenting until I was older...but this one is awesome! It's ...
Roasted Jalapeno Ranch
I have two AWESOME best friends that I've known since I was 5 years old. We all grew up with each other and were in school together from 1st grade to our college graduation. They were both my maids of honor (jointly) at my wedding, and we now live in three separate states...which is very sad. There is a restaurant in the town where all three of us went to college called "The Rock," and one of ...
Mexican Hot Chocolate Truffle Balls
Seriously. These. Are. The. Best. Things. Ever. First of all....its a truffle...that you drop in hot milk...and it turns into rich hot chocolate. Second of all...it's Mexican chocolate, so there is cinnamon, ginger, and a touch of cayenne that brings this hot chocolate to the next level. Not even the next level. The level 57 billion levels above the next level. By the way, like my Peppermint Bark ...
30 Minute Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps
In my opinion, the mark of a great lettuce wrap is when you want to ditch the lettuce and just attack the filling with a fork. Which is exactly what I wanted to do while I was eating these...and while I was photographing them. I snuck several bites. Boone tried to as well...and succeeded a few times. There are a couple of great things about these lettuce wraps in particular. First of all, they ...
Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins with Greek Yogurt Ranch
Before I start...I just want to say that THESE ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER. How have I never thought of this before?? It's so simple. Its seems so obvious...potato skins are an awesome game day food/snack, and so is buffalo chicken dip. But when you combine the two...soooo so good. This is probably my favorite recipe I have posted so far. Well...I don't know. That's a hard one. If it's not my ...
30 Minute One Pot Caprese Chicken Bake
This recipe is so easy. You literally cook chicken, put some stuff on top of it, cook it again, and eat it. Done. HOWEVER...I will say that though this recipe is easy, I had one of those days where everything went wrong for a few hours. I was cooking this recipe and two others at the same time for my blog, cut my hand three different times on chickpea can lids (those things are freaking ...
