Fried rice makes me think of lazy evenings with my husband when we decide to go grab takeout instead of cooking at home. We get up, drive a few blocks down the street to the best takeout place ever (probably isn't good that we have an awesome takeout place right down the street) and pick up our food, take it home, open up the fried rice box, and attempt to divvy it out onto plates and spill little ...
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 ...
Mediterranean Cous Cous Salad
If you read my Greek Nachos with Feta Cheese Sauce post, you know that I love Greek salad. This Mediterranean Cous Cous Salad is another non-traditional way to enjoy these delicious flavors. I absolutely LOVE cous cous...I could eat it for every meal. And I also love using cous cous in salad...so combining one of my favorite salads with cous cous just makes sense..... The combination of red ...
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 ...
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 ...
THE Best Mac and Cheese Ever
This is THE BEST Mac and Cheese EVER. It is so good. It has everything that Mac and Cheese should have: perfectly cooked macaroni, cheesy creamy sauce, a crispy top, everything. My husband had like 5 bowls of it. We finished an entire 9x13 pan. Make this Mac and Cheese as a side dish for Thanksgiving this year. Everyone will love it. This is our second Thanksgiving side dish recipe this week, ...
Pumpkin Barley Risotto with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving! Thannkkksssgiiivvinggg!!! I feel like Thanksgiving is a particularly fun holiday for anyone who loves to cook. I actually enjoy the cooking more than the eating... Don't get me wrong, I love the eating portion of the day too, but I love being in the kitchen with a bunch of people that are all cooking together. It's one of my favorite things ever. So this week I ...
30 Minute Garlic Rosemary Focaccia
There is a secret ingredient in this recipe that will make it the easiest focaccia bread you have ever made or ever will make for the rest of your entire life. Store bought pizza dough! I literally preheated the oven, rolled out some dough, chopped garlic and rosemary, drizzled some olive oil, and that's it. No mixing, no kneading, no resting. Now if you would rather make your own pizza dough ...
Pesto Grilled Vegetable Salad
Don't you love grilled vegetables? I'm not sure what it is about them, but they just taste so much better than sauteed or steamed vegetables. My love for grilled vegetables is what inspired this recipe. This is the third and final day of my pesto week! After this I will be moving onto recipes that aren't pesto-centric. And this was a good recipe to end on. The pesto flavor is very muted in this ...
Zucchini Noodles with Pesto Cream Sauce
So we are on day one of our three uses of pesto! This first recipe using our "Perfect Pesto" is this amazing pesto cream sauce. I love this sauce. I could eat it like soup...seriously. And it is SO easy to make! As for the zucchini noodles, if you don't want to go through the trouble of making those, you can absolutely just use whole wheat pasta instead. The point of this recipe is the sauce. So ...
