Buffalo And Blue Cheese Loaded Fries
After spending a few days in the Grand Teton National Park, we headed north to Yellowstone. Yellowstone National Park is probably my absolute favorite park within the United States. Banff National Park is right up there too, but that’s because we got married there. Although the geysers are impressive and the valleys are beautiful, the wildlife […]
Bbq Oysters with a Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce
Several times a year, I drive down to the coast with empty coolers to pick up lots of fresh Louisiana Seafood, the best of Gulf Seafood. Luckily, much of the seafood is in season year-round, so there is never a shortage of domestic fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs. This spring, we’ve also had countless backyard crawfish […]
Super-Creamy Roasted Garlic (And How To Freeze It!)
Roasted garlic is one of my favorite ingredients that really elevates the flavors of a dish. While raw garlic has an astringent taste, roasted garlic is creamy and much sweeter. It’s a great addition to soups, salad dressing, dips, mashed potatoes, or as a spread for toast. These golden little nuggets are so good that you can […]
Wingless Buffalo Risotto With A Blue Cheese Sauce
Okay, this recipe was a total accident. After making a huge batch of mushroom risotto over the weekend, we ended up with a ton of leftovers. We’ve pretty much been eating risotto with every meal since then. For lunch one day, my husband grabbed a bowl of leftover risotto and poured buffalo sauce all over it. It looked surprisingly […]
Slow Cooker Bbq Chipotle Chicken Burritos
The spicy shredded chipotle chicken in these burritos has become a staple in our house. We often make a huge batch in the beginning of the week and use it in all sorts of dishes. It’s great in tacos, over rice, or even with eggs for breakfast. However, these burritos are probably my favorite way to use […]
Skinny Crispy Oven-Fried Cod
I love the crunchy exterior of fried fish, but try to stay away from deep-fried foods as much as possible. However, oven-baked fish filets are often not as crispy and can easily be overcooked. This recipe is different. These cod filets are juicy and tender, with a beautiful golden-brown crust. I’ve also added a little […]
Creamy Chicken Tikka Masala
During our summer road trip, Elliott and I had the opportunity to eat at some really great restaurants. Our favorites included a brewhouse in Colorado, a tapas restaurant in New Mexico, and a pizza parlor in Wyoming. However, our all-time favorite restaurant was a small Indian place just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. Their Lamb Tikka […]
Black Squid Ink Risotto with Seared Scallops
With holiday season quickly approaching (crazy, right?), I thought it would be fun to share a few recipes that were a bit more elegant and fit for a holiday party. Even though I often make scallops and risotto for weeknight dinners, I think it’s also sophisticated enough for special occasions. Instead of turning to Mushroom Risotto, my […]
Sartù Di Riso (Meatball, Sausage, And Rice Timbale)
I know what you’re thinking. Why on earth did you put meat in the middle of a cake? That’s just gross. Don’t worry, I’ll explain. Sartù di riso is actually an Italian rice dish, not a cake. It can be baked in several different types of pans, but I love using a bundt cake pan. By using a […]
Skinny Take-Out Orange Chicken With Jasmine Rice
There are some recipes that instantly become family favorites. You take one bite and you’re already looking forward to the next time you make the dish. It’s also a recipe guaranteed never to have leftovers. For me, this is one of those recipes. This Skinny Take-Out Orange Chicken is sticky, sweet, and spicy (although, the […]
