I have a problem. A cheesy, smokey, delicious problem. I’ve recently been introduced to smoked gouda, and it’s gooooood-a. {couldn’t help myself} It’s a rich and deep flavorful cheese that has that lovely smoked flavor bursting inside of it. It’s perfect for making a BBQ Chicken Tortilla Pizza because it brings that earthy BBQ taste without actually hauling out the grill. I’ve shown you how to make pizza on pita bread, flat bread, cauliflower, and even on the grill, so {Read More}
The lack of restaurants in my new small town is killing me. It’s forcing me to try and re-create some of my favorite meals from back home. One of my favorite places to drive thru for a quick lunch was Sonic. Not only do I completely miss their $1 happy hour {so long Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper}, but their chili cheese crunch wraps have been on my mind a lot lately. There is nothing crazy and awe- inspiring about this {Read More}
When it comes to ringing in the New Year, it’s all about the party food. I’m talking Finger Food Appetizers. It’s the best when you can get your guests in and out of the kitchen without having to worry about plates and utensils. Who needs forks and spoons when there are things like toothpicks and fingers. Supply little bites of this and that for your guests to nibble on during your festive party, and you’ll have one happy crowd when the {Read More}

I’m so happy to introduce you to Dara, you’re gonna love her. Promise. Over the past months, I’ve had {Read More}
Back in November when I went to San Francisco for the FoodBuzz Fest I had the opportunity to meet the wonderful people behind California Endive Farms. They happen to be the largest American producer of Endive {pronounced on-deeve}. Whenever I say Endive I feel so fancy. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that they are hard to work with. They are so versatile and can add so much elegance to a simple dish. I had a whole bunch of {Read More}
Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to drown yourself in a bowl full of hot, melty, gooey cheese? It’s been one of those days. Just last week I went out to a fun food event with my friend and left my husband at home with the kids. I came home late that night and found him on the phone talking to someone. Turns out it was someone from his company offering him a position {Read More}

A flour tortilla is stuffed with fluffy {Read More}
Did you know today is National Zucchini Day? Seems fitting, seeing as zucchini plants are bursting in bountiful supply. I do not have a zucchini plant. I did a couple years ago. But it died shortly after producing one measly deformed zucchini. None-the-less, I still love zucchini. It’s a great vegetable to throw in my Mother-in-law’s famous Potato Casserole, to give it a little something extra. Normally her recipe calls for Cream of Chicken Soup, but I substituted that for {Read More}
