Thai-Style Chicken Salad
Well I haven’t been feeling 100% lately. It’s a mix of things really, but I definitely feel a sinus infection coming on. =( As a result, the last thing I feel like doing is cooking. I knew that last night’s dinner had to be something simple. Something simple enough, that Zach could take the […]
Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter
I sincerely apologize for the simplicity of this recipe, and it’s lack of a beer pairing, but I had to share it with you all. Flavored butters are awesome and one of my favorites to make is honey butter. This recipe is a version of that…that went a little wild. I just started throwing […]
Fried Chicken Green Chili Wontons with Mango, Habanero Sauce
We’ve never actually made a fried “wonton” before. Sure, I have had my fair share of all kinds of restaurant-made wontons. I was having some serious mental blockage this week on recipe making. Sometimes this happens, just like anything else. It’s like writer’s block for home cooks. Zach helped me out with this recipe, […]
Blueberry Lemonade Frozen Yogurt Ice Pops
Mmmmmmm…Ice Pops…Just the sound of “ice pop” gets my heart-a-racing. I’m such a baby when it comes to the darn things. I’ll only buy two off the shelf products out there…Fruttare and Dreyer’s Outshine (or Edy’s if you are on the East coast). Which by the way, this still has yet to make sense […]
Grilled Chicken with Habanero and Orange Glaze
So Zach made this incredible habanero, honey and orange sauce while I was away in May; not that I would know that it was incredible since I didn’t get to try it, but I obviously took his word for it. We decided to have another go at it (mostly because I wanted to try […]
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 […]
Chicken Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
So we’ve been eating mushrooms like two crazy people eating mushrooms, but I’ll get into that in a moment. Stuffed mushrooms are a pretty solid appetizer don’t you think? We think so over here, but I often find that the stuffed mushrooms they serve at most restaurants are super boring. In an attempt to […]
Blueberry Breakfast Pound Cake
How about that for some alliteration? I think I could have taken it a couple of words further, but decided to not create a tongue twister. Like many of my recipes, this recipe started out with a sale at the grocery store. Blueberries have been crazy, out-of-control cheap lately. In fact, all berries have […]
Chipotle BBQ Chicken Kabobs with Avocado Cream
Come on, you know everything tastes better when it’s cooked on a stick: chicken, hot dogs, marshmallows…you get the picture. Also, you know everything tastes better when it’s cooked over an open fire, or in this case on a grill over an open fire. This chicken kabob recipe can only be described in one […]
