It’s almost New Year’s and that means it’s almost time for our traditional Southern Style Chicken Strip feast with my in-laws! It’s probably one of the meals I look forward to most each year. Part of it is because the night is so low key and we play games all evening. And then of course…
Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce
My father-in-law introduced us to this restaurant called The Well. We go there for the wings, which we order naked with the sauces on the side. This lets us order a nice sampling of the sauces to dip the crispy naked wings in, instead of arguing about which sauces to have them tossed in. The…
Christmas Mules
Irish Mules are one of my favorite drinks, I love the spiciness of the ginger beer and Jameson Irish whiskey is my choice of hard liquor. So when Tory and I decided to make a signature Christmas cocktail, and were trading ideas on Pinterest this Holiday Mule immediately jumped out at me. But I had…
Gingerbread Pancakes
I don’t make pancakes from scratch very often. In fact, most of the time I make pancakes at home I use the ‘just add water’ boxed mixes – which is probably sacrilege for a food blogger to even admit. They are just so darn easy. Then again, the first time I made these gingerbread pancakes…
Molasses Spice Cookies
I give blood roughly every 56 days (the minimum time between donations). I started donating when I was a Junior in high school at the first blood drive after I was eligible to donate. I wanted to donate because growing up my dad donated on a regular basis and I wanted to be just like…
Dog Treats: Crunchy Bacon Drops
In our family the pets are definitely not forgotten during the holiday season. In fact, the first time I made these treats I didn’t even make any Christmas cookies because I was so burned out from hunting season. Yes, I just admitted that I made homemade dog treats, aka “cookies” for the dogs but didn’t…
Spin Dip Stuffed Mushroom Caps
I recently turned 30, it was a big deal. Or it felt like it should be a big deal, I don’t actually feel any older. One change that occurred shortly before my 30th birthday, was a significant one- I started liking mushrooms. It is the weirdest thing as I have always hated mushrooms, everything about…
Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches
Sometimes I like to change up chicken parmesan and throw it onto a sandwich. Sometimes it’s because I’m not in the mood for the big pile of pasta I would traditionally serve on the side of the chicken. Others I just might be trying to plan to use up an entire bag of buns –…
Turkey Panini with Raspberry Chipotle Aioli
So it’s the day after Thanksgiving and many of you probably have some leftover turkey in the fridge. Well let me tell you, if you whipped up a batch of my Raspberry Chipotle Aioli this is a great way to re-invent your turkey leftovers. It’s also a nice light sandwich after yesterday’s indulgence. As you’ll…
Raspberry Chipotle Aioli
I created this recipe to pair with the recipe I’ll post this weekend –Turkey Panini with Raspberry Chipotle Aioli. We created this panini as a riff on the Sierra Smoked Turkey sub at Quizno’s. It was my husband’s favorite sub to get there, and unfortunately all the stores around us closed so we definitely had…
