My Mom had Stuffed Shells on the weekly rotation when I was growing up. Seems Ryan’s Mom had the same idea because he had stuffed shells a lot as a kid. Anyone else out there have the same experience? They weren’t bad, but I definitely got burned out on them. So much so that it […]
A year ago I published a video on how to make a mocha and it has been my most viewed video to date. Since then, however, I’ve changed the way I make a mocha. Instead of melting chocolate, I go with Torani dark chocolate sauce. It’s worth spending the money to get the good stuff! […]
I openly admit that I am a wing snob, but also a raving fan. I love wings, a lot. Of course, deep frying can be a royal pain in the tush, so when I heard there was a solid way to make slow cooker wings, I was intrigued. Skeptical, but intrigued. I attempted slow cooker […]
Oatmeal is one of my favorite things for breakfast. I especially love to fancy it up with dried fruit, honey, peanut butter, you name it! I made a bunch of oatmeal for myself and the kids, but found myself with about a cup’s worth of leftover oatmeal. I figured there had to be a way […]
In case you didn’t get enough of our sugar cookies at Christmas, we’re back at it again. This time, we made Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookies. However, instead of our royal icing, we take a turn for a hard glaze, perfect for writing on with edible markers! Watch the cookie party in action: Valentine’s Day Sugar […]
*Update! Since publishing this recipe, I was informed that cooking with acidic foods is not recommended in standard cast iron. This dish should be prepared in an enameled cast iron pan as the acid can potentially damage the surface of non-enameled cast iron. Otherwise, rock on with your bad self. We’ve got a giant lemon tree […]
This week I put it to a poll on social media, asking which recipe you’d like to see in this week’s video. The winner, by a landslide, was Taco Wontons. So, I jumped in the kitchen, made a few different test batches. This Taco Wonton recipe is the final result: Taco Wontons They’ve got a […]
Growing up, I always asked for the same cake on my birthday. Ice cream roll cake. It’s angel food cake done in a jelly roll pan, rolled up with ice cream (mint chocolate chip for me!) and decorated with frosting. This year, after 35 birthdays, I finally asked my Mom for the recipe and attempted […]
I jumped on the cauliflower “rice” bandwagon. It seems that all of those New Year’s resolutions buzzing around got me on a health kick. But, this Turmeric Lime Cauliflower Rice ups the gluten-free side dish game. Ditch the stove top cooking method and try roasting it in the oven. Roasted Cauliflower Rice I was reading […]
I did not invent these Glitter Dipped Fortune Cookies. Thank you, Pinterest, for being an untamed world of brilliant ideas and inspiration! I can’t recall exactly where I saw them, but plenty of folks have made these, posted these and showed them off on their New Year’s dessert tables. I had seen someone post these […]
Happy New Year! In this year, I noted a trend of people pouring champagne over sorbet and gelato. I figured, why not make myself a non-alcoholic version with some good luck grapes for New Year’s? It’s a festive and refreshing holiday drink fit for a toast. Of course, you could do this very same recipe, […]
Leftover ham from the holidays turns into a perfect pizza topper in this Leftover Ham Hawaiian Pizza. If you’re like me and have family in town after the big holiday, you need to feed a crowd. If you can do that and get rid of leftovers simultaneously, then it’s a double bonus! Did you make […]
