Sheet Pan Roasted Jambalaya

A couple of weeks ago, maybe even last month because I can't honestly remember at the moment and I'm far too lazy to dig in and get the information, I posted a recipe for Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Thighs, do you remember? Aside from how amazing the flavors were in this particular dish, the greatest thing about it was the fact that it was super easy to whip up, which made it the perfect meal to make when you're very tired and just don't feel like spending hours in the kitchen slaving away. ...

Bacon Cheeseburger Wellington

There's nothing like a really good bacon cheeseburger every once in a while from a fancy restaurant or hotel lobby. On a brioche bun with thin shoestring fries. (If there was avocado involved I wouldn't be mad at it). They get me every time, and I love them for it. At the same time though, there's also nothing like a really [good] bad bacon cheeseburger from a greasy fast food restaurant/dive bar, am I right? I've had a love affair with burgers, mini and normal sized alike, for awhile now. I ...

Vegetarian Tikka Masala

I grew up catholic, I was baptized, did my first communion and all. We went to church every Sunday and observed lent year after year. That meant no meat on Fridays. Which also meant tuna sandwiches at the end of the week. Even though I no longer go to church, I still observe lent because I'm so used to it. It's a part of my upbringing, and I'd feel bad if I didn't. So around this time every year, I'm always on the lookout for vegetarian meals to make on Fridays that don't involve canned tuna. ...

Spicy Meatball Banh Mi Sandwiches

This recipe reminds me of two of my firsts in my life. It reminds me of the first time I ate pho at a Vietnamese restaurant that my sister introduced me to. I remember distinctly ordering both pho and a banh mi because I wanted to try everything, and because I don't know about you, but soup isn't really filling to me. I always just think of it as a starter to a larger meal, but I digress, that's not the point I'm trying to make. The second first it reminds me of is one of the dishes I cooked all ...

Breakfast BLTs

I visit my friend Joy in New Orleans, about once a month or so (not enough if you ask me), to chat and drink and eat and most importantly get some work done because we’re adults and that’s what adults do. Whenever I’m there, we always try to offset all of the work we have…

Glazed Chocolate Chip Yeast Waffles

These Glazed Chocolate Chip Yeast Waffles are a cross between a breakfast dish and dessert. It can really go both ways and that’s the best part about this post/recipe. The waffles are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and studded with chocolate chips. Did I mention that they’re dipped in a vanilla…

Country Breakfast Sandwiches

You know when you’re at a diner, and you start thinking to yourself, “Should I be indulgent and get the big ol’ country breakfast plate or be safe and just get like a bowl of fruit or a small stack of pancakes?” Yeah, that happens to me all the time. The sad news is that…

The Classics: Blueberry Muffins

It’s time for another installment of The Classics on the blog. All this means is that it’s time for me to share another simple and delicious recipe with you that requires no effort at all to make. These are the recipes I think we should all have in our repertoire, ready to be pulled out…

Breakfast Pie

Let’s get real with each other for a second. We all should be having pie for breakfast. The trouble with most pies though is that they’re sweet and sugary and filled with fruit and sometimes we just don’t want to eat that first thing in the morning. Don’t get me wrong, I can have a…

Cheers to the Weekend: Breakfast French Bread Pizza Boats

I don’t know if you’ve noticed by now, but I have a thing for breakfast. I post a lot of breakfast recipes on the blog because it’s actually one of the easiest meals to make. Don’t even get me started with breakfast for dinner. I can get down with that 7 nights a week. For…

Banana Peanut Butter Cupcakes

I’m not sure if you’re aware of this already or not, but I happen to know for a fact that moms really love cupcakes. So since Mother’s Day is right around the corner, I think these Banana Peanut Butter Cupcakes are a great way to show your mom (or all the moms in your life)…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cream Puffs

I have a weekend project for you that involves chocolate chip cookies. Well sort of, but not really. What I’m trying to say is that I’ve taken everyone’s beloved cookie, the chocolate chip cookie, and mashed it together with one of my favorite desserts, the cream puff. Chocolate Chip Cookie Cream Puffs is what you…

Strawberries and Cream Cinnamon Rolls

Happy Monday, friends. We find ourselves here again, on this awful day, right after the weekend. Why does this always happen to us? The sole purpose of a Monday is to remind us that we have a long work week ahead of us. It’s torturous, really. I believe that the only way to survive these…

PB&J Mini Doughnuts

I ate an obscene amount of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a kid. My mom would make them and pack them in my lunch almost every single day, along with cool ranch doritos. I may or may not have put the chips into my pb&j sandwiches. It’s a secret, but I’ll give you a…

The Classics: Brown Butter Orange Madeleines

Since it’s Friday, and since I know that we’ve all had a very long week, I thought what better way to end things, than with an easy cookie recipe. It just seemed so right to me. What’s more, it’s also time for another installment of The Classics which I’m very excited about because it’s my…

Chai Latte Cream Pie

In case you didn’t already know, today is Pi Day. This is the day when cooking enthusiasts and mathematicians come together to celebrate the fact that March 14th is 3.14 which is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to it’s diameter. I wish I could say I knew this by heart, but…

Cheers to the Weekend: Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Sticks

Nothing screams the weekend more than a giant pile of buffalo chicken wings or crispy mozzarella sticks, but rather have you decide between one or the other, I’ve decided to make miracles happen for you because you can now just have both of them in one hybrid mega crunchy spicy cheesy stick. Just call me…

Sheet Pan Roasted Sausage and Peppers

I’ve been addicted to super simple sheet pan dinners lately, mainly because I’m kind of lazy to cook something time-consuming and extravagant these days. The warmer it gets outside the less time I want to spend in the kitchen. I’m just not feeling it, ya know? In case you’ve fallen behind on the times though,…

Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Thighs

It’s been a crazy week for me, traveling to New Orleans, back home very briefly, and then to Austin. All for work. Because of this, I figured it would be a good idea to post a super easy, yet equally delicious, recipe for everyone out there that is just having one of those weeks. These…

Cheers to the Weekend: Banana Pudding Ice Cream

I have to tell you the story about this ice cream. There are two parts to this tale. The first part is how it came into my life. I’m fortunate enough to travel to New Orleans once a month to work with my friend Joy, on photographing for her blog. Last year, during one of…

Cheers to the Weekend: Tex-Mex Pot Pies

It’s the first Cheers to the Weekend post of the New Year and it’s really good! Or at least I like to think so because I’m a really big fan of chicken pot pies and Tex-Mex, and so these Tex-Mex Pot Pies are right up my alley. The idea came to me from watching Guy’s…

Cheers to the Weekend: Steak and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches

Breakfast is that one meal I feel so bad going out and paying money for, mainly because it’s kind of a highway robbery if you ask me. They are literally charging you an arm and a leg for eggs and potatoes and a piece of toast, which costs nothing at the store. Something you can…
