It’s that time of year when I crank out all my favorite slow-cooked meals. One of the reasons I love cozy fall cooking so much is that they’re simple and easy. And allowing something to slow cook all day long usually leaves your kitchen smelling incredible. Your home just gives off cozy vibes. Short ribs are always a favorite in our house. I love slow-cooking them in the fall and winter....
Ok, of course I am not going to kill you, but you might just die sitting there looking at these cupcakes. They’re definitely a Friday cupcake.So every year on December 24 we have have a giant and I mean giant bowl of Death by Chocolate. Seriously you guys this is a party size punch bowl. The recipe should serve twenty-five people. Notice that I said it should, not it does....
Are you a pickle fan? If so, you’ll adore this creamy 5 minute pickle dip. Serve this dip alongside other popular appetizers such as cranberry jalapeno dip, smoked chicken wings and mango salsa. Your guests will all be begging for the recipe! Dill Pickle Dip Ingredients To make dill pickle dip, you’ll need cream cheese, dill pickles, fresh dill, green onions, garlic powder and pickle juice. Make a dip platter with some of my favorite appetizer recipes like smoked salmon dip, bacon ranch dip and hot spinach dip!...
I believe I’ve shared this story before, but the first time I ever had a coffee cake was in middle school. I’d just slept over at a friend’s house, which was rare for me (I wasn’t much of a sleepover girl). The following morning, my friend’s parents brought home a coffee cake from the grocery store (shout out to Heinen’s). It was a chocolate chip coffee cake, and it was extra crumbly, and I remember loving it....
As I have mentioned before, I like strawberries for how beautiful they look and how fragrant they are, more so than the taste. Even at the peak of the season, those strawberries that we get here are not sweet and require a lot of sugar to balance out the sourness. When I got this pack of strawberries, I couldnt resist clicking a few pictures. These days I dont spend much time photographing my ingredients although that is an interesting opportunity....
I’m always looking for fast dinner recipes for those crazy days when there’s very little time to get dinner on the table. My family loves speedy favorite such as Cuban style picadillo, hearty teriyaki chicken bowls, and these delicious ground turkey tacos. Tacos are always a hit in my house, but sometimes I like to lighten things up a bit by swapping out ground beef for ground turkey. These turkey tacos are simple to make, and are always a big hit with both kids and adults....
You guys!! I finally made crème brûlée! This has been a “bucket” list recipe for me for ages. In December I told myself, I’m going to make crème brûlée…and then I talked myself out of it. My biggest hesitation has always been with the fact that crème brûlée is just that, it’s crème brûlée. Everyone has a recipe for it. But what would make mine different and just a little more special?...
Today is special. It is our wedding anniversary! 🙂 February is a month of celebration for us, what with engagement anniversary, my birthday and our wedding anniversary falling in the same week. We had absolute fun celebrating the first two occasions and this one today is the biggest! What’s better than a perfect cake recipe to share today?! The husband and I love caramel cake a lot, thanks to the addiction of hot caramel pudding from Corner House....
Breaking away from the usual Friday dessert and instead sharing a savory breakfast (or breakfast for dinner) recipe. Not going to lie, it feels weird to not share something sweet today, but with a new year comes transitions. One of my “goals” for the year is to share more savory breakfast/brunch recipes with you all. It’s true that I love a sweet breakfast, but I also love a savory egg dish....
But, oh my gosh, SO good! Delicious AND simple? Yep, especially during the week of Christmas. No need for complication or stressing over food. We just need easy, mouthwatering recipes and all will be good. Oh and snow. You need to have snow… or at least I do, Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without snow. Luckly, we have lots. Yeah!! Can you believe that tomorrow is really Christmas Eve? I am still blown away by this fact, I mean seriously, how on Earth did that happen?...
It has taken me all week to realize this, but I’ve unintentionally shared a lot of salad recipes. First up was this potato salad, then this spicy corn salad, and now today’s fancy balsamic chicken cobb salad. Granted, these salads are all very, very different, but three salads in one week is a lot for me. Maybe it has something to do with this LA vibe I’m currently soaking in right now?...
I warned you guys this was coming over the weekend. And today it’s finally ready to share. Oh, how I love this sandwich. It’s simple…ish, but SO GOOD. Something about lightly charred grilled vegetables sandwiched together with creamy burrata and herbs is just beyond delicious. Totally my kind of summer backyard BBQ food. For the last month, I’ve really been into sandwiches, which is so odd because I despise photographing sandwiches....
When I want some healthy and filling breakfast recipes, I turn to options such as baked oatmeal cups, sausage casserole, avocado toast and these simple yet satisfying ham and egg cups. I don’t know about you, but mornings in my house are extremely rushed. I’m lucky if I even have time to remember to grab a granola bar let alone cook breakfast for myself. These make-ahead ham and egg cups have changed my life!...
When I need to entertain a crowd in the mornings, I turn to breakfast recipes such as sausage casserole, red velvet waffles, tater tot breakfast casserole, french toast casserole and this cheesy baked egg dish. The holidays are almost here, which means the entertaining season has begun! I host quite a few gatherings during the holidays, including cookie exchanges, kids holiday parties, and more. One occasion that sometimes gets overlooked is breakfast....
Boo!! Now that we’re into spooky season I’m so excited to be making and baking up the spookiest recipes. I had so much fun with these! The one thing I always keep in mind when creating spooktastically fun desserts is the difficulty level. I’m no professional when it comes to decorating sweets. So instead of sharing a recipe that will potentially leave you in tears (I’ve been there), I try to keep them easy....

I often make my own condiments as they taste so much better than the store bought variety. I prepare homemade versions of yum yum sauce, BBQ sauce, ranch dip and honey mustard sauce, and it’s totally worth the little bit of extra effort. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I order a side of honey mustard sauce if it’s on the menu. It just makes everything taste a little better!...
I think you guys all know by now that hot chocolate is a very coveted drink in my family. My dad has been joking lately that my mom is solely existing on hot chocolate. Apparently, since I’ve moved out, her hot cocoa cravings have been through the roof. I think this may be because she no longer has someone to literally serve her, breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts…yeah, I did that....
