BBQ Brisket Sliders with Jalapeno Mac & Cheese

BBQ Sliders with Creamy Jalapeno Mac & Cheese

Who knew brisket could be so incredibly delicious in the oven!? This brisket recipe is fall-off-the-bone tender (although brisket cuts aren’t on the bone, but you get the point :)) and perfect for these cold months when you are not interested in being outside at the grill.

These sliders are sweet and spicy with a perfect combination of barbecue sauce, honey slider buns, and jalapeno spiked creamy skillet macaroni & cheese. This is essentially a whole meal in a tiny little slider. Um, yes! Read More

Four Layer Peanut Butter Brownie Bars

Peanut Butter Brownie Bars

There aren’t many combinations that go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Well, I could name a few others.. lemon and lime, sour cream and onion, butter and garlic, sea salt and caramel, chocolate and peppermint, french fries and milkshakes. But don’t we all agree that peanut butter and chocolate tops ALL of those? No. French fries and milkshakes might be the best actually. But that’s really another category. That just slipped into the list when I got carried away.

This Four Layer Peanut Butter Brownie recipe is fun because it adds a layer to the traditional peanut butter bars. Well, two layers actually = brownies and ganache. It’s essentially two desserts in one and I ain’t complaining about that! Read More

Rib-Eye Sliders with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce

Rib-Eye Sliders with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce Recipe

Super Bowl Sunday!!!!! Even when I don’t have a team I am rooting for, I still love Super Bowl Sunday every year. It’s basically another fun holiday to look forward to. Time with your friends and family, and most importantly, a reason to cook them awesome food! I’m super excited about these Rib-Eye Sliders with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce. It’s a lot of gourmet love packed into one tiny sandwich. But it’s really the perfect size, snackable, hand-held and finished in a few quick bites. Just enough to satisfy the steak urge while still leaving room for the hot corn dip, buffalo dip, brisket mac & cheese sliders and delicious desserts… that I plan on eating. Possibly all on the same plate 😉 Read More

Crispy Chinese Egg Rolls with Sweet & Sour Sauce Recipe

Chinese Egg Rolls and Sweet & Sour Sauce Recipe

The most important part of an egg roll is flavorful filling, without that, you say “meh” after you bite into it. You don’t want to have to drown it in sauce in order for it to be delicious. Even worse is oil-laden egg rolls where you can’t taste anything other than the oil that is coating your mouth. If you want to make perfectly crispy, super flavorful egg rolls, my mom’s egg roll recipe is simply the best. And they are just in time for the Chinese Lunar New Year which is today! Read More

Holiday Moroccan Coffee Recipe

Holiday Moroccan Coffee (Alcoholic)

This deliciously intense Moroccan coffee recipe was made especially for my New Years blog post by my father who is an amazing cook. The only thing that tops his cooking is his mixology skills. Although he’d never refer to himself as a mixologist, that’s really what he is. Every detail is thought through from the infused salt rim of the glass down to the specific brands he is using. When I asked him to create a special drink recipe for my blog, I just knew he would be so extra! 🙂 Read More

Holiday Gift Basket – Cocoa & Cookies

Gift Basket - Holiday Cocoa & Cookies

Very excited about this holiday gift basket we put together for the 2019 holiday! With our renovation underway this winter, there is no way we can do a bunch of gifts for our family and friends. Plus, we say every year that we need to take some of the pressure off the holidays and make it more about quality time and not running around to stores.

This year, my husband and I decided that we were going to make cute gift baskets for each family and our groups of friends. The theme we decided on this year was “cocoa & cookies”.  There is nothing more fun than baking cookies (using an easy but delish cookie mix), and making hot cocoa with ALL the fixins’.  It seemed perfect for a cozy family movie night – which we will be having tons of since we are flat broke this season haha.

Popeyes Famous Chicken Sandwich Copycat Recipe

Popeyes Famous Chicken Sandwich Copycat Recipe

THE chicken sandwich is officially back at Popeye’s TODAY!! To celebrate, I am re-making the sandwich for all of us that don’t really feel like dealing with the mosh pit of people just to get one.

You eat a lot of chicken sandwiches in your life. But this is truly one that stops you in your tracks and lingers in your mind long after you eat it. It’s amazing. It’s brilliant. It makes me so happy and this version is just as amazing if not better than the original. Read More

Chia Banana Boost (Max) Tropical Smoothie Copycat Recipe

Chia Banana Boost Tropical Smoothie Recipe

I am very excited to be creating a copycat recipe of my favorite Tropical Smoothie menu item, the Chia Banana Boost Smoothie.

I don’t know about you, but protein-packed smoothies are an absolute necessity if I want to start my day off right. I’m not really a breakfast person and I’m usually rushing around because I love milking every minute of my sleep (giving myself “just enough” time to get ready). So preparing a balanced breakfast for myself would be hilariously far-fetched. I’m pretty sure that families sitting around a table eating breakfast before heading off to work, sadly only happens in the movies in 2019. But I would also die if I went to work without fueling my body at all. So throwing 6-8 items in a blender is my favorite solution. Then I keep my large smoothie in a insulated stainless steel bottle and drink it throughout my morning, sometimes through lunch. Read More
