Game-Day Chili

No matter who you’re rooting for, chili is a classic go-to for the big game. I know that’s what we’re having at our house! You can make a big pot to feed a crowd, and it’s totally low maintenance. Once you make it, just leave it on the stove or even in a crock pot […]

Turkey Bacon Chili

This winter I have been obsessed with chili.  So much so, in fact, that I requested it as my birthday meal from Tim.  There are about as many ways to make chili as there are people out there who eat chili. I don’t think I’ve ever made it the same way twice.  This year, I’ve […]

Blackberry Jalapeño Pork Loin

If I watch TV, the majority of the time, it’s a food show.  I pick up a lot of food knowledge, techniques, and other tidbits.  It’s not as often as you’d think that I see a recipe I feel compelled to make.  However, when I saw Guy Fieri make this Raspberry Jalapeño Pork Loin on the Rachael […]

Jalapeño Popper Dip

A cheesy, gooey dip with a crispy, buttery crust that tastes like a jalapeño popper?  Yes please!  I made this for a holiday party, and everyone loved it!  Not only is it delicious, but you can make it as spicy as you want by adjusting the amount of jalapeño you use.  I used four jalapeños, and […]

Got Tomatoes? Fresh tomato salsa recipe

It’s that time of year – tomato season.  I’ve mentioned before that I love tomatoes, but inevitably every year I find myself with an abundance, wondering how I can use them up lest they go to waste.  If you find yourself with a similar conundrum, then you’ve come to the right place. Not only is […]

Recipe for a Delicious Summer

I love a fat, juicy, grilled burger once in a while.  I wish I could take credit for this, but someone (else) in a stroke of genius came up with the idea of combining a jalapeno popper and a burger.  You basically take a hamburger patty, top it with a cream cheese, roasted jalapeno, bacon […]

Rice with an Attitude

The other day, I planned to make Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa.  I asked Tim what he wanted to go with it, and he said rice.  I didn’t want to use a preflavored box of rice because it’s so easy to make your own, and that way you can control the ingredients and flavor, so […]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m obsessed with recipes.  I’m always discovering new recipes I want to try, either on Rachael Ray or some other show, they show up in my inbox, I read them in a magazine, etc.  Then I save them in various places – on Pinterest, save them in a […]
