A simple, healthy 4-Ingredient Chicken Salad was just the thing I needed after a busy food-related weekend in Chicago! It is so easy to make, and it tastes great! I saved time by using a rotisserie chicken from the store to add more flavor to…
We’ve all had crab cakes at one point in our lives. It’s usually the same breaded song and dance. Well my Crabster Cakes are sure to make you forget about those breaded hockey pucks you had that night! This had to be my most ambitious…
How do you eat your grits? With Butter? With Sugar? With everything but the kitchen sink? This one question has sparked debates that have lasted for years! The key to good grits is avoid making it via the package directions. I use half and half as well as heavy cream for that creamy consistency. The recipe below shows how to take your grits from Blah to Bam!

Have you ever followed a recipe to the T and it turned out tasting like crap? Well I decided to recreate a recipe I made back in November with my own special touches! It was a perfect dish for this sudden change in temperature (again)…
You know, the best recipes in my opinion come from sheer boredom, and that’s exactly how this recipe came to be. It was a boring Monday night and I was doing my weekly pantry cleaning, when I came across a bottle of Hoisin Sauce. The last time I used this bottle was for my Chinese Fake-Out: Loaded Lo-Mein I did a few months back. The hoisin sauce was still good, and I wanted to make something that wouldn’t require a lot of time in the kitchen. Most of the ingredients in this recipe I already had in my pantry, so I didn’t have to buy anything extra. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts because they tend to hold their flavor and juices better.
I finally got to test out my Instant Pot the other day and it certainly was worth the wait! I decided to be adventurous and make Brisket Chili as my first (of many) recipe. The Instant Pot was quite easy to use and did everything…
Food Network has been on my radar since Christmas for creating some less-than-appetizing entrees. Just so you are aware, BRUSSEL SPROUTS AND SQUASH DO NOT BELONG IN MACARONI AND CHEESE!!! Now that we have that understanding, I’d like to talk about something a little more…
Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the Manstagrammers event hosted by April of The Tipsy Housewife. In addition to meeting some awesome people, we got to make some great dishes and learn some cooking tricks! I along with fellow attendee Alex Jewell created a delicious mixed greens salad, but I didn’t quite know what kind of dressing to make. I just threw some ingredients together and hoped for the best, not thinking it was going to be an absolute hit! It was only right to make a recipe to share with everyone. This vinaigrette makes a great marinade in addition to a salad dressing! It only requires a few ingredients and can be made in 2 minutes!
Are you tired of spending large amounts of money on Chinese takeout just to be disappointed and hungry later? Do you look at the menu and say “I could make this at home”? Well today is your lucky day! My Loaded Lo Mein will provide…
