What is better than steak and fries? How about steak and fries wrapped up in a warm pita with a jalapeno herb sauce? This is probably one of my favorite recipes we have made with the ooni oven to date! You definitely do not need to make pitas from scratch, but if you have the […]
As soon as it gets cold outside, I start craving comfort food. Specifically cheesy comfort food. While tomatoes are not known to be a winter veggie these cherry tomatoes are easy to find and make the perfect sauce for risotto! I was always terrified of risotto after watching way too many failed Top Chef dishes. […]
We love a good pasta dish especially when the weather cools down. This dish gives you all the flavor with less calories than most Italian restaurants. Crispy chicken tenders with a parmigiana crust top our capellini with garlic and mushrooms. Best part of this recipe is you can add or swap ingredients. Don’t like mushrooms? […]
Pizza is a huge hit in our house! We love making it at home and changing up the toppings. This pizza plays off classic flavors, but it just a little more special with sweet caramelized onions, crispy ground beef, and calabria chilies. You can use whatever cheese you love, but I really like the Tillamook […]
There is a Cuban restaurant around the corner that makes super simple delicious empanadas. Beef or chicken, crunchy with an amazing dip. I do not know anything about an authentic empanada, but I do know what would go well with a similar dip. My version has roasted onion, potatoes, butternut squash, ground beef, and mozzarella. […]
Is it cold where you are? We are in Georgia and it was 70 degrees on Christmas, but today it is 24 degrees. I love the cold because it makes me feel like it is okay to stay in the holiday spirit for just a littttle bit longer! This soup is perfect for the cold […]
Sometimes I just really crave pasta. Something about a big bowl of noodles with garlic bread is so comforting after a long day. Pesto specifically has been on my mind. Since I’ve been eating low carb low sugar I typically only have pasta once a month if that. I had to find an alternative that […]
Do you ever shop the bargain cook book section at Barnes and Nobles? I get suckered in every time! I came home with two cook books the other day that are filled with inspiration. Since I’ve been doing Keto I feel like I was in a cooking rut. These buns clearly are not low carb, […]
There is a restaurant near us that serves a platter of super spicy crispy chicken, potato wedges, pickled radish, cold corn and tons of dipping sauces. We were shopping the local section in Publix and came across locally made pepper jellies. I knew right away I wanted to make a glaze with the peach jalapeño […]
Our wedding is only a month away! I cannot believe how quickly everything has come together. We have been working on the finishing touches and the weather has not cooperated with my projects. It has been non stop rain. I’m hoping this means it will be nice and dry by the time the wedding day […]
