So there’s delicious. And then there’s these. Beyond delicious. Indescribably delicious. So delicious you’ll make them for your kids and fight them for the last one. So please, those of you without wee ones, make these. Make them all for yourself. Eat them all to yourself. And think of me. Continue reading
Well, guys, I’ve got a little chef in the family. This girl, Georgia. She’s something. She’s SO into helping in the kitchen..it’s annoying amazing. Mom, can I help mix that? Mom, what can I do? Okay mom, are you making dinner? I’ll get my stool. Aye yaye yaye. Continue reading
Alright, friends. We are going to have a little chat. Are you comfy with your grill? Do you use it? I have talked to so many of you lately that are intimidated by the grill and my current mission in life is to make that go away as quickly as possible. Please, all I ask is for you to learn how to start up your grill. Thats it. Thats all you need.
Grilling is a giant time saver for me during these warmer months. You throw your food on for a super quick sear and really, thats it. Starting your grill is the most difficult part and once you have that figured out you’re left with nothing but charred, smokey, fresh flavor for the rest of the season. Think of it as cooking on your stove with a cast iron skillet or really hot pan. Only outside. Can you beat that? I think not. Continue reading
This rice could basically serve as breakfast, dessert or dinner. It’s rich and sweet with a hint of savory…I can’t tell you how well I devour this stuff. Serve it for breakfast instead of oatmeal. Or throw a little ground cinnamon and a tad maple syrup right on top for a healthy, hearty dessert. But for dinner? Aye yaye yaye. It’s the perfect compliment to any meat or veggies from the grill. Mix the smoky grilled taste with this sweet, creamy side and its a match made in heaven. Continue reading
This Roasted Eggplant Caprese is a cinch to throw together for a simple weeknight meal. If you’re a fan of the Caprese Salad you’re going to dig this variation. It’s light but filling and we think it pairs wonderfully with a grilled steak or fish. Continue reading
In honor of Cinco De Mayo I find it only necessary to share with you one of our very favorite “Mexican” recipes. Grilled Chicken Fajitas.
Your belly will think they are as beautiful as your eyes do, friends. Smokey, charred, savory chicken loaded with herbs and spices paired with slightly crisp peppers and onions equal magic on my tastebuds. Continue reading
If you recall this salad, I have a few gym cafe obsessions. They are always fairly healthy options that fill you up in a super tasty way. This Asian Tuna Salad is my take on one of their menu items and its nothing short of delicious. The flavors get better as the salad sits so its perfect for making over the weekend and snacking or lunching on throughout the week. Its savory and sweet and full of fresh flavor. Continue reading
Well, the infamous USB cord has been found. No, my daughter did not throw it in the trash. No, my son did not flush it down the toilet. My third child wonderful husband put it in his briefcase. Because he just assumed it was one of his. All that garbage digging, brain wracking for nothing, friends. Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. So as promised, here is the recipe for the grilled broccolini we are so crazy about around here. Its barely a recipe. It barely takes effort or time. But its tastes so darn yummy. Continue reading
There are recipes like this floating around all over the internet. Slow cooker southwest chicken in all shapes and forms and I’ve tried so many variations. My sister found this recipe on Pinterest and we couldn’t love it more. I added a few spices because heaven forbid I leave any recipe alone (control issues, friends-Im working on it) but in my opinion the smoked paprika is key…so yummy. I’ll be making this over and over again…the more delicious minimal ingredient, throw-in-the-slow-cooker-and-leave-it-alone-all-day recipes I can keep in my back pocket, the merrier, for sure. This chicken makes awesome quesadillas, tacos, salads and so much more. But piled on top of a crispy tortilla (like in this recipe) with spinach and blazing hot salsa is my very favorite way to eat it. Continue reading
Well, friends. I’m just going to lay it all out there. Consider this a no-judgement zone. Tell me your deepest and darkest secrets….it’s safe here. This is a blog made up of love, compassion and trust between you and I. The tree of trust, lets say. Ate all your kids Easter candy before it made it to the baskets and told yourself it was for their own good? Confess here, you’re in the tree of trust. Do you secretly love the “get cash” option when you are checking out with your Red Card at Target so that you can disguise your coffee addiction? Tree of trust. What? It was just a random guess. I would never do something like that. Friends. My name is Melissa, and I have a major crush on Chef Michael Symon. Continue reading
