I’m not saying we needed another corn dog recipe out there in the world, but I’m also not saying we didn’t. Especially when said corn dogs are cooked in a waffle iron, which basically makes them the healthiest corn dogs ever since they’re not deep fried. Corn dogs that are good for you?! Talk about a dream come true. Don’t say I never did anything for you. Okay, so they might not be good for you, necessarily, but they still are golden and crispy and still as irresistible as the classic variety, I promise. They’re easy to make and in no time at all (with basically little to no effort because the waffle iron does all the work for you) you’ll have a big pile of waffled corn dogs just waiting to be dipped in ketchup and mustard or topped with chili and cheese. Let this be a lesson to us all that everything is better when cooked in a waffle iron. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy that Belgian waffle iron you’ve been eying, I think it’s safe to say that this is the recipe where you give in and just go for it. Buy that iron, you deserve it.

This is one of the easiest recipes I’ve posted on the site in a very long time, making it appropriate for a Cheers to the Weekend post because sometimes we just don’t have the time to spend hours and hours in the kitchen, slaving away on one meal. Maybe sometimes we don’t even want to cook at all because enjoying our Saturdays and Sundays to the fullest, definitely sounds more enjoyable. Believe me I fully understand, and that’s why I’m here to help. Rather than order in something you’ll regret later on, why not take 30 minutes, that’s it that’s all you need, and cook up a big pot of comfort pasta? That sounds like a good idea to me. This pasta is springtime ready because it’s loaded with vibrant and fresh flavors, like mint, basil, lemon and peas. It’s a creamy sauce, sure, but it’s a creamy sauce on the lighter end with just a little bit of creme fraiche thinned out with pasta cooking water. It’s less than 10 ingredients and you probably already have most of them on hand. Remember how earlier in the week I mentioned that we should take back our weekends and unplug more often? This recipe is perfect for that. Let’s keep up our summer goal and disconnect from the internet as much as possible (after reading this post of course). Let’s all Cheers to the Weekend!

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

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 the time when I was younger, and that is a meatball sandwich. I’ve always loved to cook, ever since I was little, and even though I didn’t know how to make many things back then, I tried very hard to cook as much as I could and as often as I could. So the first time I made meatball sandwiches, I realized how easy they were to make and so I would cook them all the time. I wonder if my family ever got tired of them?

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 Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Thighs are simple, in that they’re a one sheet pan dinner recipe. Basically what that means is that you can place everything on a baking sheet, just one baking sheet is all you need, and then pop it into the oven and forget about it for a while. 40 minutes later, you’ll have a flavorful dinner without any of the effort or all those dirty dishes! Sheet pan dinners are one of my favorite things to make during the week, especially when I don’t have that much time to invest in the kitchen because life gets in the way.
