I’m here today with another quick and easy dinner recipe for you, 20-minute Chicken and Broccoli Orzo. This recipe feels like classic childhood comfort food. It’s a big old skillet of diced or shredded chicken, broccoli florets, and creamy parmesan orzo that is completely irresistible, and it comes together FAST. Ingredient Notes Cooked chicken: To speed things up, this recipe starts with cooked chicken. Leftover roasted chicken works great or you can grab a rotisserie chicken and chop up the white meat to use here....

Hey, friend, if your salad game is feeling a little stale, I have just the recipe to make you get excited about salads again: Chicken Fajita Salad. Chicken Fajitas…As Salad This recipe is my classic Chicken Fajitas (already a total delight on their own) served up over a bed of crisp romaine with diced avocado and tomatoes and topped with a creamy homemade Southwestern dressing. It makes for a salad that is packed with a ton of flavor and textures and one that is incredibly satisfying and filling....

Can you believe that Baking Mischief is more than a year old and I’ve never posted a single taco recipe!? Well, that ends today, because I’m sharing Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Yogurt Sauce! These are a copycat recipe for the Chipotle Chicken Tacos from one of my favorite local taco joints, and it’s a pretty successful recreation (if I do say so myself). I even managed to healthy them up a bit....

It’s my favorite time of year again, gift guide season! There’s nothing I love better than reading through prettily arranged lists of items recommended by my favorite bloggers, trying to match presents to people on my list and secretly just making an extra long list for myself. And as is tradition around here, I’m back this year with another incredibly specific gift guide of my own. (I know, I’m excited about it too!...

I’ve posted quite a few milkshake recipes over the last couple of years, and it was about time to compile all of these recipes in one place for easy reference. So I present to you my milkshake cheatsheet. If you’re craving a specific milkshake (or maybe don’t even know what milkshake you want) chances are you can find the recipe here. And if not, leave a comment below, and I’ll see what I can do....

Today’s recipe is for the pumpkin pie lovers out there who 1) are watching what they eat and 2) don’t want to play with pie dough. Now I love me a decadent dessert, and I LOVE playing with pie dough (you have seen my Game of Thrones Deep Dish Frey Pie and Dutch Apple Galette for Two haven’t you?), but I also appreciate a lighter recipe that’s easy to boot, so here’s a lighter pumpkin pie....

Today’s recipe is a total game-changer of a recipe: Small-batch Garlic Aioli. It’s made with just three ingredients, mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice (plus a little salt and pepper), that when mixed together basically become magic. You get a creamy spread perfect for dipping fries and veggies or slathering over sandwiches. The kick of garlic and acidic tang of the lemon really bring out the best of whatever you’re eating it on/over/with....

Looking for more dog treats? Try these High-value Dog Treats and Gingerbread Cookies for Dogs! I’ve been having a ton of fun making people popsicles all summer (popsicles for people, not popsicles from people–this is not that sort of food blog, or is it?). There have been Yogurt Smoothie Popsicles. There have been Cookies and Cream Popsicles. And there have been (my personal favorite) Homemade Pudding Pops. And every time I eat one, Ella sits at my feet, staring mournfully up at me, just begging me to drop the last little bit of popsicle on the stick–which, admittedly, I do sometimes because I’m a sucker....

Short on time tonight, but craving a warm and comforting slice of chicken pot pie? You should make pot pie soup instead! What is Chicken Pot Pie Soup? Pot pie soup is basically chicken pot pie filling with a little extra milk and broth that turns it into a super creamy and rich soup. And where a whole pot pie is going to set you back a couple hours between making the dough, chilling it, and baking the pie, this soup can be on your table in less than half that time....

One of my favorite things about making whipped cream at home instead of getting it from a spray can is that you can control everything about it, the texture, the sweetness level, and best of all, you can customize the flavor any way you want. Not quite feeling classic vanilla whipped cream today? Add a little cocoa powder and make that whipped cream into chocolate whipped cream. Chocolate whipped cream is such a fun (and ridiculously good) twist on classic whipped cream....

Hey, friend. Have some caramel sauce in your fridge and some vanilla ice cream in your freezer? You should definitely make a caramel shake right now. The Perfect Caramel Milkshake This caramel shake is a total sweet caramel dream, and all you need to make it is the perfect milkshake ratio (three scoops of vanilla ice cream and 1/2 cup of milk) and some caramel. Ingredient Notes Caramel: If caramel sauce isn’t something you keep stocked at home, pick some up the next time you’re at the store, make my quick shortcut caramel sauce, or you can whip out a heavy-bottom pot, melt some sugar, and make some traditional caramel sauce yourself....

Hello, lovely friends, I’ve got another cheesy pasta recipe for you today, baked ziti! And not just any ziti: super easy, super delish, made with SAUSAGE, crushed tomatoes, and just a hint of cream, ziti. You’re going to love it. Why You Should Make This Baked Ziti Immediately First, because this is an A++ pasta experience from beginning to end. You’ll feel like an absolute kitchen rockstar when you pull the ziti out of the oven with the skillet sizzling and the cheese browned and beautiful....

Growing up, my mother used to wax poetic about the amazing marshmallow frosting she liked to make as a girl. And now ages and ages later, I’m finally giving it a try. Okay, this isn’t my mom’s recipe–part of the mystique of her frosting is that the recipe was lost to time–but according to her, this one turned out very similar, so win! This frosting is so much fun. Watching egg whites and sugar go from clear, eggy liquid to light and billowy clouds of marshmallow deliciousness is like watching a magic trick....

Photos have been updated. Don’t worry. You’re in the right place. 😉 Well, Valentine’s Day is just a few days away. Where do you come down on our national hearts and flowers day? Love it? Hate it? Sort of tolerate it? I’m totally split. On one hand, it’s a holiday that places undue stress and expectations on people in and out of relationships. On the other hand, it’s a day on which people give me flowers and candy, and it gives me an excuse to make things like Overnight Cinnamon Rolls for Two and maybe my Mini Chocolate Sheet Cake, soooo… How ever you feel about the day, I have a super quick and easy Valentine’s Day recipe for you that’s too cute to resist: Pink Hot Chocolate with Mason Jar Whipped cream....

It’s the season for sweet and warming coffee drinks. I have a bunch of them on the site, mochas, caramel lattes, white chocolate mochas, etc., but you can never have too many recipes involving coffee, so I have another one for you today. Friend, have you ever had a dirty chai latte? What is a dirty chai latte? If you’ve never had a dirty chai latte before, a dirty chai is simply a chai latte with a shot or two of espresso....

It’s slow cooker month here on Baking Mischief, because anything that lets us avoid turning on the oven and adding to the stifling summer heat is welcomed and appreciated. Last week I posted my totally killer Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches for Two. Today we are switching over to beef, using a cheap, tough piece of meat and turning it into fantastic fall-apart tender and delicious fajitas!! See Also: AWESOME Steak Fajitas These easy slow cooker beef fajitas literally take less than ten minutes to toss together in the morning, and when you get home in the evening, your house will smell amazing, and you will have delicious fajita filling sitting there waiting for you....

One of the very kindest things you can do for yourself is to take a little extra time on a Saturday, prep a few meals in advance, and freeze them for future you. Knowing there’s something homemade and delicious waiting in your freezer when it’s been a year of a day is such a load off your mind. These freezer burritos are the ideal rainy-day meal to keep in your freezer....

Happy Friday everyone! How was your week? It’s time for another Fandom Foodies recipe! What’s Fandom Foodies? It’s a fun monthly collaboration where a group of fellow nerdy bloggers all get together and create a recipe based off of a favorite piece of pop culture. (BTW, I’m hosting Fandom Foodies next month and the theme is Game of Thrones!!). This month’s theme is Star Wars, hosted by My Main is a Cook, and I couldn’t be more excited....

I shared my quick mayonnaise-based garlic aioli here a couple of years ago, and today, I have another aioli recipe for you that I use just as often, yogurt aioli. Yogurt aioli is a fantastic lighter alternative to classic aioli that packs a huge flavor punch with very little work. Ingredient Notes Fresh garlic: Make sure not to use sprouted garlic in your aioli. While you can usually get away with using sprouted garlic to some degree in cooking, when using it raw, it can give your aioli a slightly “off” flavor even if you cut away the sprouted portion....

A few weeks ago, I found an old list on my computer that was just titled, “Summer Fun List 2014.” It contained only two things: I have zero memory of writing that list and no idea why it stopped at two relatively easy items, but it just goes to show my usual summer priorities: make good food, hydrate in the most summery way possible. I haven’t made a Summer Fun List 2017 yet, but let’s face it, it’s probably going to start about the same way (though maybe instead of a fruit tart it’ll be S’mores Cupcakes or my favorite Lemon Bars)....
