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 […]
Pretzel Bites with Homemade Honey Mustard
There are few things more satisfying than a really great homemade soft pretzel. After our backpacking trip, I was craving just about everything in the book (that wasn’t Annie’s Mac and Cheese — this is basically what I ate for 3 nights straight). For some odd reason, pretzels came into my mind. I knew, […]
Roasted Tomatillo and Garlic Salsa
Let’s be honest, salsas are awesome. Some may even say they are the perfect snack. Well, maybe I just think they are the perfect snack. I think that is reason enough though don’t you think? They are fresh, crisp and refreshing: perfect for a hot Summer day. We go through them like water around […]
Vanilla Bean Baked French Toast
First of all, I would like to mention that I am currently writing from beautiful Breckenridge, CO. I love it here. If there were more job opportunities for my beau here, you better believe we would move to the area in a heartbeat. Jealous yet?? I definitely would be, but for the sake of […]
Chicken and Fresh Veggie Omelette
We don’t do omelettes very often around here, and I think the main reason is because we don’t do breakfast as much as I would like to. We of course do breakfast for dinner quite a bit, but this usually consists of something like pancakes or french toast doused in syrup. You can’t go […]
The Biggest, Fluffiest, Sweetest Dinner Rolls…Ever!
So the idea behind this recipe was to use these rolls for our Buffalo Turkey Meatball Sliders, and we did in fact use these rolls for that recipe. I wanted to make a sweeter-type dinner roll to help out the spiciness of the meatballs. The rolls didn’t come out EXACTLY how I had planned. […]
