Since I posted my (absolute favorite) Carne Asada Recipe last year, I’ve given you a bunch of ways to use it, in Carne Asada Burrito Bowls, Carne Asada Tacos, Steak Fajitas, Carne Asada Fries, and Carne Asada Salad. Today, I have a whole new and delicious way for you to use that carne asada, Carne Asada Sandwiches. An Irresistible Carne Asada Sandwich The secret to a great carne asada sandwich is starting with a great carne asada recipe....
Hey, friends. I’ve talked before about how while I fully love every recipe I post here, there are some I get extra excited about sharing with you. My Tri-tip recipe was one, these Country-style Ribs and Carnitas were too. And today, I have another one for you: Carne Asada. I can’t wait for you to try this recipe, because it is the best homemade carne asada you will ever eat....
Chicken pot pie is one of my favorite meals. It’s everything warm and comforting about food all wrapped up in a flaky pie crust. The thing is though, they’re kind of big. And messy. And did I mention big? When you’re not cooking for a family, there’s no way you are finishing one off unless you are eating leftovers for days, which is just not my thing. Whelp, problem solved: Let’s make some Individual Chicken Pot Pies!...
I’m so excited to share today’s recipe because it was actually part of a birthday gift for my youngest sister, Tammy. Over the summer, we did a family girls trip to the UK. We started in Edinburgh, did a side trip to Oxford, and ended the vacation with a few days in London. The whole thing was a great adventure. We took a boat out on Loch Ness, rode bicycles around Oxford, and survived the August tube strike in London....
Need something crispy and carb-y and beautiful to fill out your plate tonight? Let’s make some roasted red potatoes! A really good roasted potato recipe is one of the essential side-dish recipes to have in your arsenal. Everyone loves them, you don’t have to worry about or babysit them while they cook, and they’re pretty much fool-proof. Whether you’re making a special dinner for guests or just need an easy side for dinner, these potatoes never disappoint....
Hey, guys, this will be the last recipe of 2016. I’ll be posting a round up of my favorite Baking Mischief recipes of the year on Friday, but if you don’t drop by again before New Year’s, happy New Year!! I hope your New Year’s Eve is joyful and safe and New Year’s Day fresh and energizing. Today’s recipe is another of my favorites from Baking for Two, and in the book it’s titled “Death by Chocolate Sheet Cake” (a name I deemed no longer charming in late 2016)....
I feel like it’s been a long time since I last posted a creamy, cheesy pasta recipe. I looked back in the archives and my last was my Bacon Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese, four months ago, and my Mac and Cheese for One months before that. That’s too long! So today, Easy Pesto Chicken Pasta for Two With Oven-Roasted Tomatoes. You should make this pasta for dinner tonight. It’s really good....
Hey, friends. I have another simple side dish tutorial for you today, how to cook broccoli in the oven. And I am SO excited about this one because if this isn’t how you’ve been oven-roasting your broccoli, your life will from here on forever be changed for the better. Because this broccoli is the best broccoli. We’re talking crispy, crunchy, toasty, roasty broccoli tops and creamy, dreamy broccoli stems. We’re talking literally 5 minutes of prep time and 15 minutes in the oven....
Hey friend, you know I love using sad brown bananas in banana recipes, but today I thought we’d chat about what to do with those sad brown bananas when you don’t have the time (or inclination) to make something with them. The answer? Freeze them! Can you freeze bananas? Absolutely yes! Bananas freeze extremely well both to be used in smoothies and milkshakes (some would argue that frozen bananas are even better for these than fresh) and for baking....
Hey, friends. I’m back with one more iced coffee recipe for you. So far this summer, we’ve done an Iced Mocha and Iced White Chocolate Mocha. Today’s recipe is the last of the bunch I had planned, and I saved a good one for you: Iced Caramel Macchiato. Iced Caramel Macchiato with Quick Homemade Caramel The hot Caramel Macchiato recipe that’s on the site is a reader favorite. It’s been pinned nearly 40k times and always gets rave reviews....
Today, I have another very fun, very easy single-serve ice cream topping recipe for you. And in case you’re new around here, in this single-serve ice cream topping category already, we have: 30-second Chocolate Sauce Peanut Butter Sauce Nutella Sauce Hot Fudge Sauce And now, Magic Chocolate Shell. What’s magic chocolate shell? If you’ve never had magic chocolate shell before, it’s a chocolate topping that (magically) hardens into a brittle candy shell when it’s poured over ice cream....
When I started planing recipes to share this fall, one of the first things I wanted to make was pumpkin shortbread cookies, because I love pumpkin; I love shortbread; of course I was going to combine two of my favorite things into one cookie come fall. But when I went looking for pumpkin shortbread cookie recipes, I realized a pumpkin/shortbread hybrid was easier said than created. Here’s the thing about cooking with pumpkin: pumpkin holds a ton of moisture....
Hey, friends, I have a useful little recipe for you today, a quicker Dulce de Leche. If you’ve ever made dulce de leche at home, you know that while it’s super easy (just heat a can of sweetened condensed milk), unless you have a pressure cooker, it takes a full 3 to 8 hours depending on the cooking method for that can of milk to caramelize. A Quicker, Easier Dulce de Leche I first found this method in a recipe for Banoffee Pie, and it’s kind of a game changer....
Tri-tip is a great cut of meat, and when you make it in the slow cooker, it comes out fabulously tender and perfect for making into sandwiches. It’s also incredibly simple to make. In the morning, you just rub your tri-tip with seasoning salt and then let the tri-tip hang out in your crockpot on low for 8 hours. At the end of the day, your house will smell amazing, and you just shred the meat and pile it onto sandwiches topped with BBQ sauce and cheese....
We’re nearly two full weeks into January. How is your healthy eating going? Is the December bloat beginning to fade away? Do you need some cupcakes now? I dooooooooooooooo. Don’t get me wrong, I really do love the fresh, healthy feeling of January. I love that it’s a great chance to check back in with your eating habits, and healthy food can absolutely be delicious food, so I’m not exactly suffering over here, but sometimes a girl just really needs a cupcake....
Remember that Small-batch Strawberry Frosting I posted a couple of weeks ago? Well, when I was shooting it, I needed a cookie to smother it over for the post photos, so I threw together some lemon sugar cookies to be my frosting models. Long story short, I ended up liking those cookies so much that I couldn’t not give them their own post. So here we go: Lemon Sugar Cookies With Strawberry Frosting....
Ready for some pumpkin cupcakes that are soft, incredibly moist, and exactly perfect for fall (or almost fall, whatever)? This recipe will make four adorable cupcakes, which is the perfect number if you don’t need to make cupcakes today, but there’s a pumpkin cupcake song in your heart. Ingredients Baking staples: Most of the ingredients for these cupcakes are basic baking staples, flour, baking powder, salt, granulated, brown, and powdered sugar, and vanilla extract....
Heya, friends. It feels like a good time for another entry in my “Waste Not” series, a series dedicated to reducing food waste in the kitchen. What to Do With Leftover Egg Yolks & Egg Whites What to Do With Leftover Pesto What to Do With Leftover Whipping Cream What to Do With Leftover Buttermilk What to Do With Leftover Pumpkin Puree So here we go: What to Do With Leftover Tomato Paste....
I had a recipe planned for today, but after much fiddling, the thing never quite came together. So rather than share a sub-par recipe on the blog, I’m writing about something else I love, podcasts! I’m a total podcast and audio book junkie. I listen to them while I work out, while I drive, and thanks so a handy dandy water resistant bluetooth speaker (best Christmas present ever!), I even listen to them in the shower!...
Last month I shared the recipes for my favorite BBQ shredded chicken, and my favorite meal to make with it, BBQ chicken sandwiches. Today I have another BBQ chicken recipe for you, but something a little more fun and a little less practical, BBQ chicken nachos. This recipe makes a full half sheet pan, double-layer of homemade nachos that are perfect for sharing. They’re super easy to throw together and a very fun twist on traditional nachos....
