The flavors of this dish are inspired by Moroccan cuisine from North Africa. It is so flavorful thanks to the spice paste you rub all over the chicken to include cumin, paprika and cinnamon. The addition of golden raisins add a little pop of sweetness. Bonus, your whole house smells amazing and the leftovers are […]

Last summer the internet was going crazy over the In n Out Flying Dutchman which is where your burger is wrapped in grilled onions instead of a bun. You heard me right. Instead of a bun, your burger is wrapped in rounds of grilled onions. And as someone who is obsessed with grilled onions I […]

This bright and flavor-packed Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Crunch Salad is going to be on your summer menu until the heat dies down! When the weather is so warm that the air-conditioning becomes a full-time employee with overtime benefits for the family, all I crave are salads and sandwiches. But listen, I have very extra salad […]

I crave pasta year-round and summer is no exception! Of course I want something a little brighter for the hot days and so I found myself in the kitchen pulling together this orzo dish with lots of bright lemon juice and finishing it with shave Parmesan (because we are putting cheese on our pasta, always)!

As of late, I’ve been finding myself in situations where I need to throw together a last minute appetizer. These predicaments always help me get a little creative and this bean dip is one of the outcomes. Several weeks ago we threw a party to welcome Jeremy home from his deployment. When we have a […]

Over on The Cook’s Channel I am sharing my favorite sandwiches for different occasions and my Hungry No More Meatball Sub is the best freezer sandwich! I love making a big batch of these meatballs and then freezing half the batch to later have on hand! Watch my bring this sandwich together and share my […]

Well, it’s come to this. I’ve made my first Instant Pot soup. I’m already an Instant Pot believer but I haven’t tried my hand at soups for one simple reason: I love the process of making soup. There is something about the sautéing and adding of flavors, spices, and veggies to a soup pot that […]
