Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Every once in a while Zach asks me to make cookies, and when he does, it’s ALWAYS chocolate chip. Peanut butter, chocolate chip…dark chocolate, chocolate chip…regular old chocolate chip…it usually doesn’t matter…as long as it’s chocolate chip. This time, I thought that throwing mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups into the mix would be […]
Chopped Chicken Salad with Cashew Honey Mustard
Once in a while, I just want a really good salad. This chopped chicken salad combines some of my favorite salad ingredients. I’m a sucker for a combination of fruits and veggies when I make a salad. I think it’s that touch of sweetness I crave from the fruit that gets my wheels turning. […]
Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies (Muffin Top Cookies)
I’ve been throwing sprinkles on everything here lately. I have to admit, my addiction to them has gotten a little out of control. I think they just get cuter with each and every year, so I apologize that this Valentine’s Day theme has been taking over Cooking and Beer. This will change after Friday, […]
Thai Chicken Tacos with Peanut Vinaigrette
Uhh, you guys…these tacos…I can’t even begin to explain how insane they were. It was a spur of the moment decision for me to make Thai chicken tacos yesterday. It’s been a while since we had a taco, and the craving was totally there. They ended up being one of the simplest, most satisfying […]
Skinny Egg Salad
I am definitely coming down with something. I blame Zach. He left here with a super annoying head cold, and I think that it finally caught up with me. This is no fun as you can imagine, and I can see a day of lounging in bed with a nice hot cup of tea. […]
Whole Wheat Biscoff Waffles
Well, it’s day two of Zach being away, and I’ve spent the entire time cooking and baking. You would think I would do this when Zach is around because at least there would be two of us to eat all of the food sitting around. Cooking and baking kills time though, so if I […]
Chocolate-Glazed Baked Donuts
I’m on my own for a week. Zach is in Atlanta, and I’m already bored. Sure, there’s that whole thing called the “Superbowl” on tonight, and yeah it will be fun. I’ve already made myself enough snacks to feed 12 people. Did I mention that it’s only me? It’s ok. January is over, and […]
From-Scratch Cinnamon Rolls
Because of the disaster that was the beginning of this week, cinnamon rolls decided to add themselves to my menu. They were necessary…completely necessary. They also did their job perfectly. Half of them are gone already, and I may or may not have eaten three of them in one sitting after they popped out […]
Easy Grilled Chicken Caprese
It has been quite the stressful week already. Do you ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go as planned? Well this was my yesterday…from start to finish. I went to bed at 7pm as a result. I know, I know. Those recorded Grammy Performances weren’t going to watch themselves. I […]
