Portobello Fries and a Happy IPA Day!
Happy International IPA Day everyone! I feel like there is a holiday for everything these days, but this “holiday” is especially awesome because it involves beer and one of my personal favorite brew styles: the IPA. What I love about IPAs are all the sub-categories that go along with them. Good IPAs aren’t too […]
Buffalo Turkey Meatball Sliders with Celery Salad
Ok so maybe it’s not 100% the healthiest version of buffalo chicken wings, but the attempt was totally there. It’s actually kind of difficult to get a “healthy” buffalo sauce, especially when there is a stick of butter involved. At least this is a SOMEWHAT healthier version of a fan favorite. I love using […]
Gazpacho with Ditalini
So it’s been hot. Like really hot. It’s also been humid (for Colorado). Like really humid. After living here for quite some time, we’ve gotten used to the dryness that is Colorado. Unfortunately, we have been blessed with disgusting, moist weather. Because of this horribleness, we decided to make gazpacho. Gazpacho is hit or […]
Thai Curry Turkey Burgers
Turkey burgers are hit or miss. Let’s be honest, most of the time they come out super dry and packed full of no flavor what-so-ever. The key to making a great turkey burger is pumping it full of great flavors and cooking it just to perfection. For this recipe, I decided to go a […]
Avocado and Tropical Fruit Salsa
I love the flavors of summer and this salsa totally embodies the flavors of summer. I seriously wish that some of these tropical fruits were hardy enough to grow in our “rough” climate because I would certainly have some kind of tropical fruit orchard growing right now. Oh well, you can’t have everything. This […]
Grilled Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
Tacos are our go to when we don’t know what else to make. Frankly, I think tacos are one of the most amazing inventions on the planet. You really could put just about anything into them, and they are delicious. Last night would be no different. So why did we take the easy way […]
Grilled Corn on the Cob with Herb Butter
Well I lied. I decided to take a break from pulled pork today. Can you tell I’m getting sick of it yet? Well, I am. Last night I needed a night off from the stuff, so I made Zach and I fresh green bean salads and corn on the cob. Why you ask? Because […]
Chicken Dogs with Watermelon Salsa
Yes, I made it back safe and sound from the East coast. Thank you so much for asking! It was such a great visit, but I’m also happy to be getting back into the groove of things! Also, I missed you all like crazy! … and Cilantro. I really, really missed Cilantro (and Zach […]
The Zach and Cilantro Saga – Part III: Campanelle all’Arrabbiata Rustica con Pollo all’Aglio
Do not be afraid of this dish. I went with an Italian title because it just seemed fitting (and it is not too long ago that I could actually converse in Italian). The name just flows and sounds very elegant but in fact the dish is designed to be somewhat rustic and untraditional. The […]
