I love making this cornbread recipe. The combination of sweet and heat can’t be beat! It’s slightly cake-like on the inside with a wonderfully crunchy crust. If you aren’t a fan of hot foods, substituting the jalapeños for bell peppers is a great option. They go great with the honey! I love serving them warm […]
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made Vietnamese Spring Rolls or Gỏi Cuốn and Spicy Peanut Sauce. I normally make them with shrimp, but Chicken sounded amazing. I also had some of the sweet and sticky sauce leftover from last night so I made a small bowl of Ground Beef & Broccoli. Chicken: 2Continue […]
I love one pan meals! I don’t have a bunch of pans to babysit and clean up is a cinch. The salmon isn’t too sweet and has a nice pop of citrus. You can certainly swap out the vegetables, just make sure they are similarly sized so they cook evenly and don’t dry out. Potatoes: 2Continue […]
A bare bones, but delicious chowder to warm you on a winter day.

It’s a family tradition to make wings once a week and it’s something the whole family looks forward to! My family always uses Frank’s Hot Sauce and I wanted to see if I could come up with something similar with a fresh twist. They came out great! Hot Sauce: 2 lbs hot peppers of choice […]
Egg salad sandwiches are one of my all time favorite sandwiches. They’re rich, creamy and full of flavor! Fresh, white or wheat bread always works best with this recipe. 12 large Eggs 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda ⅓ cup Celery; chopped ½ cup Tomato; diced ½ cup Onion; chopped 2 cups Mayonnaise ¼ cup Dijon Mustard […]
Baking chicken wings is the BEST way to cook them! The secret to crispy skin is Baking Soda or my personal preference, Cornstarch! You’ll never know they aren’t fried! They’re much healthier and you can make 2 ½ dozen per half sheet pan. They’re a great intro to the weekend and I make these wings […]
It’s Taco Tuesday, so naturally I made pasta. I was craving something bright and acidic, so Rigatoni Ricotta Bolognese it is. Can you really go wrong with pasta, though? Ricotta Bolognese is one of my favorite Italian sauces. It’s hearty, rich and warms you to straight to your core. 1 lb Ground Beef ½ cup […]
Day 29 of my #PantryChallenge The last 2 days have been pretty ick, so it was broth and sleep for me. But, I finally felt up to cooking! I got winded easily and had to take a seat more than I care to admit, but it got done. Very rustic Teriyaki Chicken & Broccoli with […]
I love this recipe. It doesn’t require any eggs and instead uses banana! It has way more flavor and it’s a great way to use up old bananas. I serve them with fried eggs, Maple Pepper Hash Browns, sautéed mushrooms, baked bacon and maple sausage patties. 1 ½ cup Flour 3 teaspoon Baking Powder 1Continue […]

Day 17 of my 8 week #PantryChallenge I was supposed to make my Honey Butter Chicken tonight, but I’m kinda over fried food right now. I decided to make Split Pea Soup instead! Some people love it, some people hate it, but all I’m saying is give peas a chance! I normally use ham hocks,Continue […]
I wanted to think a little outside of the box today. Our awesome neighbor has a ginormous orange tree and she lets me pick from. I decided to make us all Crispy Citrus Dijon Chicken Thighs with rice and brussels sprouts. 5 Chicken Thighs ¼ cup Butter 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest Salt and Pepper toContinue […]
Quick lunch before hitting the road again! I made a batch of Italian meatballs yesterday when I made the Swedish Meatballs knowing full well that I’d make Meatball Subs as well as Spaghetti & Meatballs! 1 lb lean Ground Beef 1 lb Pork Sausage ¼ cup Onion; finely minced ½ cup Breadcrumbs ¼ cup Whole […]
