In our household, chicken is always in our fridge as an easy ingredient to whip up when needed. This whole recipe came about when I wanted cauliflower "wings" but the husband was just not having it. When it comes to meatless Monday, the husband definitely turns into a child being told to eat their broccoli [...]

Creamy Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese
I have to be honest, I am not a fan of Mac and Cheese... I know! What?! But once again, Mac and Cheese is one of the husbands absolute favorite. Anywhere we go out to eat at, if there is Mac and Cheese as a side option, that is what he gets. So I had [...]
Mother-In-Law Thanksgiving Dressing
Thanksgiving is very much an American holiday that I am VERY thankful my parents adapted to way long before my brother and I were born. But of course, any excuse to be in a kitchen cooking as a family for us! Im not sure what my favorite dish of the night is. I absolutely love [...]
Baked Sweet & Spicy Wings
The perfect game day wings! I don't mind getting messy with these. The flavor is just the perfect combination of sweet and spicy and no frying! I remember one year we had a wing competition with friends. I believe I made sticky sesame wings. All of us went all out that year. It was honestly [...]
Easy Street Corn Dip
“EEELLLOOTTEES!” I can hear the Elotero now (street corn vendor). Growing up in California, the Mexican street corn vendor was the neighborhoods hero! Topping choices included, mayo, crema, cotija cheese, salt, chile powder and lime. My choice: chile powder, EXTRA mayo and lots of Cotija. Now, living in Northwest Arkansas, street vendors aren't necessarily a thing [...]

Anyone else love a good game day snack? This is a really good one that I will for sure be serving as we cheer on our Hogs here in Northwest Arkansas. All the delicious toppings and that yummy queso sauce, so good and a definite must! You can also make your chicken ahead of time [...]
Garlic Herb Baked Brie
Wine and Cheese is actually my husbands thing. As for me, you say wine and I'm sold. So when the husband asks for a charcuterie board, I'm in! Typically, I serve brie with a drizzle of honey and call it a day. But its currently Fall so I really wanted something warm and different. That [...]
A Ramen Dish
If you are here simply for my version of a classic Ramen broth recipe, please scroll down to the bottom. If you are interested in a little more, please continue reading. I absolutely love this one! Now, I say this is my version because Ramen is not a traditional dish I was raised cooking. You [...]
Kitchen Tools
I believe I have been asked 100+ times if I really use that tool. I am very thankful I have plenty of cabinet space in my kitchen because I have almost all kitchen tools you can think of. When it comes to Birthdays and Christmas, I want nothing but kitchen items! With that said, there [...]
