This post is brought to you by Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner on behalf of the Beef Checkoff. All opinions are my own. Over 4th of July, I went down to my family’s house near Long Beach Island in NJ. While I definitely got some quality beach time, including pit stops for seafood and drinks …
Christmas time means baking cookies for Santa! It’s my 2nd year participating in FreshDirect‘s #12DayofCookies campaign (last year I made super festive red velvet and green tea cookies). This time around, I was inspired by this freezing cold weather to do a play on hot cocoa by making molten lava cookies with a chocolate center and mini …
Honestly, can we just take a moment and admire the beauty of this thing? 🤩 Since I first debuted this Breakfast Mac and Cheese with Baked Eggs back in 2016, I’ve seen many iterations show up on the internet. While it would be nice for some inspo credit 😅 I don’t blame people since it’s …
Breakfast pizza is one of my absolute favorite things to cook. Eggs + cheese + carbs is always a good combination, but making the cheese + carbs in the form of pizza adds a level of goodness that a piece of toast can never match. I’ve previously posted a lighter breakfast pizza recipe with kale and …
Tis the season for holiday baking! The team at Fresh Direct was gracious enough to ask me to participate in their #FD12DaysofCookies campaign. Even though I don’t consider myself a baker, I wanted to come up with something really festive for my Christmas cookie entry, so I dreamed up these Red Velvet and Green Tea Cheesecake cookies. I attempted …
I grew up eating my mom’s chicken adobo, the national dish of the Philippines that braises chicken in an irresistible combination of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and sugar. Now that I’m officially an adult though, I no longer rely on trips back to my parents’ house to satisfy my regular cravings for Filipino chicken adobo. …
Mexican street corn is one of my favorite things to eat. Take grilled corn, slather mayo and/or Mexican crema, cotija cheese, and chili powder, and squirt some lime to produce one of the most addictive food items created, so much so that I lovingly call it crack corn. It’s referred to as elotes when the corn …
Spicy Italian sausage, kale, and ricotta are 3 of my favorite ingredients to combine. I’ve prepared them in various iterations, from pasta to breakfast pizza, but when the football season started I had a lightbulb moment: football field pizza! With a little extra effort, your standard rectangular pizza gets transformed into this Sausage Kale and …
Freezing temperatures call for hearty, stomach-lining foods like mac and cheese and stews. Since comfort food tends to veer on the unhealthy side though, I love making turkey chili to fulfill my need for a warm bowl of food while keeping my waistline in check. Plus it’s perfect for game day, especially with the Superbowl …
We are fully into the fall swing, and I for one am cheering on its return. While others may complain about the cooling temperatures, fall is actually my favorite season for a few reasons including but not limited to: my birthday, Halloween, beautiful changing leaves and trees, less sweating, more sweaters, and most importantly, FOOTBALL. …
