On Monday I posted a "fifteen minute" recipe, and today I'm posting a "twenty minute" recipe...I guess I got a little carried away with my quick and easy meals this week! I'll tell you something, though. Neither of these meals taste like they took twenty minutes or less to make. You know what is an absolutely delicious trio of flavors? I'll tell you...lemon, parmesan, and garlic. Something about ...
Cheesy Mexican Rice Casserole
Hello, strangers! It has been quite a while since I've been able to make my way over to this little corner of the internet. Between holidays, SO MUCH TRAVEL, and less than satisfactory weather in Kansas (meaning dark and stormy every day) ((meaning photography = no no)), I have definitely had some issues bringing you three posts a week. But we had sunny weather this past weekend, and I was able ...
Crock-Pot BBQ Meatballs
Oh, hello little morsels of sweet, tangy deliciousness. The simplicity of this recipe will surprise you when you taste the end result! The extent of your prep work is throwing some onions and garlic into a couple pounds of ground meat, rolling them into balls, and popping them in a crock pot. It's just about as easy as it gets! If you want to be cool and fancy, unlike myself, and use homemade ...
One Pot Mexican Pasta Skillet
You may know by this point that I'm slightly obsessed with one pot meals. They are just so practical and awesome! There aren't a million pots/pans to deal with, and you can clean up the kitchen while your dinner is simmering away. IT'S SO SATISFYING. I get a little bit too excited when I find a delicious one pot meal recipe...liiikkkeeee this one! Mmmmm...Mexican food. I love Mexican food ...
3 Ingredient Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Um...what happened in November...? I feel like November passed in three days. Guess how many times I posted in November? GUESS?!?! Four. Four times. Whoops. I'm sorryyyyyyyyyyy. I don't even know what happened. Actually I do know what happened. I traveled my FACE off. When you have a full time job and are only able to cook/photograph blog food on weekends, traveling on said weekends makes ...
The Perfect French Onion Soup
Oh, hello there! Remember me? The girl who used to cook, write, and photograph for this blog every week? I won't hold it against you if you forgot I existed...since I HAVEN'T POSTED IN FIVE YEARS. Okay, well it's been twelve days, not five years. But twelve days?!? That's a long time. That's almost two weeks of not posting! I apologize...I don't even have a good excuse. I do have an excuse, just ...

I loved working with them, and their box was packed full of some amazing items!

“One Sheet” Brown Sugar, Dijon Chicken
You know how one pot meals are basically the best things EVER? This is exactly like a one pot meal, but it's a one sheet meal instead! You throw everything onto one baking sheet, bake for thirty to forty minutes, and dig in! SO easy. The best part about this recipe, however, isn't the simplicity. The best part is the flavor that comes from the brown sugar and Dijon mustard. Oh....my goodness. ...
30 Minute Stuffed Pepper Soup (Soup Sunday!)
You guys. ??? This soup. ??? x 1,000,000 If I was to make a list of my favorite recipes on The Garlic Diaries, this soup would make the top ten. Maaaybe the top five...but definitely the top ten. It is absolutely deee-LICIOUS. With a capital "D"....and a capital "LICIOUS." And the craziest part?? It is incredibly easy and will be on your table, ready to eat in thirty minutes. I timed ...
Easy French Bread Pizza
Okay this is the easiest dinner EVER! Apart from slicing the red onions, you basically do no prep work. Everything is already done for you! The bread is made, the sauce is jarred (gasp! I know), the cheese is shredded, the pepperonis are sliced, and the black olives are canned. Toast bread, rub with garlic clove, assemble, bake, eeaattttttt. And it is just so good. So so so good. My homemade ...
