One Pan Sweet and Spicy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Thank you to Kiolbassa Smoked Meats for sponsoring this recipe Brussels Sprouts are not one of those foods that I used to jump up and down and get excited about. They’re one of the foods that I used to raise my eyebrows, scrunch up my nose, and say…
Being Keto is something that I’ve been doing for more than 9 months, and I love the way I feel and look (hello, 70+ pounds gone and kept off!) It’s summer down here in Texas and as we head into the 4th of July week when everyone is cooking out, spending time with friends and…
Summer means spending time with friends and family! When we all get together, you know there will be delicious food involved. Though I have great go-to recipes like Chilled German Style Potato Salad, Baked Potato Dip or Lemon-Horseradish Potato Salad, I always am on the lookout for some fabulous new recipes to try. For the next summer…
If you’ve ever been to a picnic, a church luncheon, or any backyard barbecue, chances are that you’ve had potato salad; but I’d wager that you’ve never had potato salad like this. Freshly squeezed lemon juice, spicy horseradish, savory dijon mustard, fresh cracked black pepper… I’ve got your attention now, don’t I. My sweet friend…
With Bacon, Basil, and Blue Cheese, the Triple ‘B’ Avocado Tomato Summer Salad just might be my new favorite summer salad; it combines some of my favorite summer ingredients, comes together quickly, and is a delightful complement to any grilled main dish.
Twice Baked Potatoes. Double Baked Potatoes. Whatever you call them, they’re one of my favorite comfort foods. So very, very many mouthwatering adjectives could be used to describe this wonderful dish from my childhood. Delicious, Creamy, Cheesy, Comforting, Rich…. the list goes on and on. This is a combination of two of my favorite dishes…
This garlic bread is the garlickiest garlic bread you’ll ever meet. Should you want to repel vampires, this is the recipe for you. Do you see those rich, gold swirls of color in the bread? That’s garlic and olive oil. Have you ever seen a garlic bread that was so infused with flavor that you…
This cheesy spicy black bean avocado dip might be one of the easiest, and most versatile recipes I’ve ever made. I love food that’s a hot mess. Food that is spreadable, dippable, and just makes you feel happy when you eat it. Hot mess food is rarely pretty to look at, certainly doesn’t…
One of my first holiday memories is of my great grandmother’s fruit salad. Known to some as ambrosia or 5 cup salad, it was always “grandma’s fruit salad” at my family get-togethers. It’s always meant the holidays to me. This year I’ll be making it again, along with other traditional goodies, but it’s this recipe…
To stuff or not to stuff, that is the question. Okay, it’s not really the question, but let us settle something once and for all. It’s stuffing if it’s stuffed inside the bird, and it’s dressing if it’s baked casserole style and served as a side dish. Like that beautiful cast iron skillet full…
There are certain dishes that are practically synonymous with Thanksgiving: Turkey, Sweet Potatoes, Cranberries and green bean casserole. I grew up with a very traditional green bean casserole, and loved it, but I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. So I added some soy sauce, garlic, mushrooms, and fresh snap beans….
Savory dijon wine vinaigrette dressing, paired with a leafy green fruit salad. A delicious main dish, side dish or even a snack.
