This year’s peaches have been extra special. I haven’t had any local Colorado peaches just yet, they come sometime in August. But I was sent a box of peaches from Peaches.LA and well, they might just be some of the best peaches I’ve ever had. I am in awe of them! So much so that half of my current summer recipes list has peaches. Yes, so many delicious recipes to come....

I always make at least two turkeys between the months of November + December. This year I am expecting to be roasting four birds within the next two months. I know, I know, that is a LOT of turkey… and well, it will make for even more turkey leftovers. I already have one roasted turkey under my belt, so three more to go! Two at Thanksgiving and another at Christmas....

When it comes to tacos I pretty much like them all… But sometimes I just can’t make up my mind on whether to go soft or hard with my taco shells. When this happens, I do what I do best; I combine the two to make one. OH YES, we are so going there. I’m talking double layer tacos! Not only are we using soft flour tortillas, but we’re also using a crunchy corn taco shell… I know, know!...

I love December days…especially when they include holiday cookies. It’s truly the sweetest time of the year. And I’m here to help you all bake up only the best holiday desserts. When I asked you all what recipes you wanted for December, I’d say eighty-five percent of the responses said cookies. Everyone wants cookies now, and many of them! Well, this year I heard you, and I’m sharing three new cookies recipes....

Bakery Style Veg Puffs are quite popular all over South India and especially in Bangalore Iyengar bakeries. Made with spicy vegetable stuffing layered in light, golden & crispy puff pastry – these treats are as delicious as they can get. Growing up, dad used to treat to us Veg Puffs and Sweet Puffs almost every weekend and this recipe holds such a huge nostalgia for me. The whole reason I wanted to make homemade puff pastry sheets is to make my own veg puff at home given how we haven’t eaten out at all this year....

And as you guys know, all Friday’s need chocolate. It’s pretty much just a fact. Another fact? By the time the Friday post rolls around, my brain is completely out of fun things to talk about. OK, well not always, but in today’s case my brain feels empty. Anyone feeling the same today? It’s been a semi unexciting week mostly full of work. So lots of cooking, lots of writing, lots of phone calls, and plenty of back and forth’s with my mom (HBH’s other half) about Studio Barn stuff....

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend and are excited for the week ahead. I know that it’s Monday, BUT, at least we have these fun and colorful noodle bowls to chat about today. These are my new obsession. They are all things fun, healthy and cozy – all at the same time – and who’s not a huge fan of that combo. Typically, I’m not a meatball person, but cover them in a sweet and sticky Vietnamese inspired sauce and I’m all game....

BOO!! Welcome back to the official start of the HBH Fall/Holiday Cocktail Saturday series. I am one week later than I had hoped, but better late than never! And you guys!? I AM SO EXCITED to be back. Starting today we’ll have a new cocktail up on Saturdays throughout the remainder of the year. It’s always an ambitious task, but a fun one for sure. I’m kicking Cocktail Saturday off with my favorite spooky drink yet....

And just like that, it is officially summer today! It’s definitely felt like summer the entire month of June, but I am excited it’s truly summer today and kicking things off with a very summery recipe that is perfect for warm nights and grilling out. I have teamed up with my friends at Grill Mates to bring you this easy grilled chicken using some of my favorite Grill Mates seasoning blend....

The holiday season is officially here!! You all know how excited I get for Christmas! I’m ready to deck the halls, bake Christmas cookies, send out cookie boxes, mix up fun cocktails for family, and find everyone on my Christmas list a gift they’ll love! All while listening to every last Christmas song, watching all the Hallmark movies, and all the classics too. So excited! Gift-giving is actually one of my favorite things to do, especially Christmas gifts....

I returned home from Cleveland to crisp fall weather here in Colorado, with dark skies and day full of low clouds. Usually these days aren’t my favorite and can leave me feeling a little tired. But in the fall, an extra cozy day here and there is a little more welcomed. It gave me the perfect excuse to remake this chicken and dumpling recipe, yet again. I have been making it on repeat over the past few weeks....

Nothing beats a thirty minute meal. Ok well, I guess like a ten minute meal would, but those are super hard to come by… unless your dinner goes from the freezer to the microwave. If that is the case for you, then you need this meal more than anyone. I feel like thirty minutes is something everyone can handle. Although, right now I have to say that the thought of dirtying even one skillet, even if it’s only for a 5-minute meal, is kind of mortifying....

Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re celebrating today with loved ones or just having a normal Friday, I have the perfect, super easy dessert. I’ve never been one to go all out for Valentine’s Day, but I’ll take any excuse to share sweet chocolate desserts, dainty cookies, and cozy pasta recipes with you all. And I certainly would not complain if someone surprised me with flowers… No matter what the holiday is, I’m truly such a “love the holidays kind of girl”....

Well, this is quite the Tuesday treat, isn’t it? To be honest, chocolate is so very needed today. Do you ever have those days, when things just don’t seem to be going your way? That’s kind of me this week. I mean, it’s nothing horrible and the world is certainly not ending. But after a string of “headaches” the last few days, chocolate is the perfect fix for today. 100% eating away my feelings this week…and 100% OK with it....

Cinnamon rolls hold a special place in my kitchen, and by that, I really just mean that we love them to pieces. Growing up, my mom would occasionally buy the cinnamon rolls that come from the can around the holidays. My brothers and I LOVED them. We looked forward to these cinnamon roll breakfasts every single year. These days we all know I choose to make my own, but still, we love a good cinnamon roll....

I rarely share recipes like this, but every time I do I’m reminded of just how much I love them! So simple, light, pretty, and of course delicious. I created this with Easter in mind, but honestly, it would also be great for Mother’s Day and on into summer. I love the flaky pastry and melty cheese, they’re perfect with the marinated artichokes! When it comes to light appetizers and side dish recipes I tend to run out of ideas quickly....

Yesterday I posted homemade Whole Wheat Parotta recipe and today, it’s one of the easiest side dishes for any Indian bread - Simple Babycorn Masala. I love babycorn and usually make cripy fried babycorn or use it up in Veg Jalfrezi. Last weekend, while making Parotta, I had my mind fixed on Babycorn Masala and it turned out to be one the simplest yet tastier side dishes. The base of my curry recipe is pretty simple - onions and tomatoes cooked, made into a paste, thrown in together with a whole lot of masala powders....

I have to admit, I have a weakness for jalapeno poppers. As much as I love them, I’ve never made them at home, because I’m not a fan of deep frying in my own kitchen. These bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers are baked instead of fried, and let me say, they’re even better than the original! Who can resist fresh jalapenos stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon and baked to crispy perfection?...

Some recipes are just a little more special than others, and today’s recipe feels (and is) one of them. I can’t help but be overly excited about this summer bruschetta. I’ve been saying this all month long, but the long days of summer are meant to be enjoyed outside and not so much in the kitchen. For most of us, this means we’re looking for very simple recipes. Monday’s recipe was a super fast pasta dinner....

All done with Belizean inspired flavors…which yes, is just as good as at sounds. Or at least I think it sounds good…. cause IT IS. So let me explain this recipe, as it has a bit of a story. My brother and his girlfriend Lyndsie were just in Central America traveling through Guatemala, Belize and those areas. These two do a lot of traveling, I like to call them the “wanderers”....
