Life be cray sometimes, amiright? Because of this fact, last week when we were all signing up for things to bring to our potluck lunch as a "school is over!" celebration at work, I thought, "Hey, self. Let's double dip here and make a post out of whatever we sign up for. Great idea! You're so clever. You should go to Target later to reward yourself." So I signed up for pasta salad and then ...
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 ...
Ultimate Secret Ingredient Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Because.......Thanksgiving. Mashed potatoes are just a staple. THEY JUST ARE. If you don't have mashed potatoes on your Thanksgiving spread, I am secretly judging you right now. Just kidding.......maybe. So naturally, since Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away, I had to post the mother of all mashed potato recipes. The title of this post = Ultimate Secret Ingredient Garlic Mashed ...
3 Cheese Stuffed Garlic Crescent Rolls
Thhhiiiissss, this, this, this, this times a MILLION. These crescent rolls...are just so...so...good. And they are gluten free + vegan!!!! .... Psshhh....yeah right. These are the least gluten free/vegan/healthy things ever. I usually try and stick to healthy(ish) recipes on here, but I also like to step out of the box and make something fun and junk food-y every once in a while ?. Besides, ...
Crispy Garlic Smashed Potatoes
Ah, crispy, garlic-y, salty, potato-y goodness. Can I just eat you every day for the rest of my life? Seriously though...who in the world doesn't love potatoes? (Now I am talking to you...not the food.) I have never met someone who doesn't...even if you aren't a "meat and potatoes" kind of person, I feel like you still love them. And if you are saying no to this question you fall into one of ...
Mustard Chive Potato Salad
Happy Saturday! It's not a super happy Saturday for us because we are packing and cleaning ALL day...ugh. I really very strongly dislike packing. It's not so bad at first when there are some big easy things to pack, like a bookshelf or a TV stand. But then you look around and see a million little random things and it looks like you have made no progress. Seth's parents are coming in today to ...
Asian Cucumber “Noodles”
These cucumber noodles have been on my list of recipes I want to create for my blog since I started The Garlic Diaries back in September! They have been on my mind for a while now - the idea of cucumber "noodles" just sounded so light and refreshing to me. Not to mention healthy. And pretty. And crunchy... In hindsight, I'm glad I waited so long to actually make these because now the weather is ...
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 ...
