I know it's been awhile since I did a recipe post, but the wait was worth it. Because I'm back with a bang - this white wine marinara with sausage over tortellini is tasty. It's a recipe I learned from my older sister and her boyfriend over Christmas. Though, I didn't...
Today I'm sharing one of my favorite things to make as a kid: monkey bread! Also known as pull-apart bread. To be fair, I still really like making and eating it as an adult, too. There's lots of different recipes and variations out there on how to make monkey bread,...
This is one of my all-time favorite sweets around the holidays: sweet, decadent chocolate fudge. My mom has been making this around Christmas for as long as I can remember, and since I've lived down here in Texas I've taken on making it on my own. Surprisingly, it's...
Here is a really tasty, sweet dip recipe that I got from my mom. It's a great alternate to caramel or peanut butter for dipping apples in, but could be eaten with lots of other dippable things as well. We recently served this at a brunch (with apple slices), and it...
If you're looking for more perfect-for-fall recipes, I've got one for you right here. I originally found this on a recipe card from Taste of Home magazine, but modified it for the size of my slow cooker (2.5 qt.) and specific veggie preferences (the original called...
We hosted a brunch this past weekend, which gave me the perfect opportunity to try out both the new oven and these two recipes my aunt passed along. Whenever she hosts a family gathering, you can bet that one morning will feature a tasty breakfast casserole. So I...
I've already shared super easy slow cooker tacos, and today it's time for another unbelievably easy dish. What kind of Texan would I be if I didn't make something BBQ once in awhile? This BBQ pulled pork is quick to throw together and ridiculously moist. It's easy to...
Prepare yourself for the easiest and tastiest fish recipe ever. It's adapted from a recipe in one of the boy's cookbooks (Esquire's Eat Like a Man). We've made this twice so far, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. It's also a good excuse to use that oft...
I'm not sure if you know this, readers, but I have a pretty serious sweet tooth. Like, ice cream is an acceptable meal and I have a candy dish in the living room and a chocolate stash at my desk and pretty much nothing is better than a good piece of pie or cake or...
Today I have an easy and tasty recipe for you. It's only got 5 ingredients, but packs a pretty tasty punch. And it might get you addicted to Craisins if, like me, you munch on some out of the bag while making dinner. Seriously, I'd never had them before, and now I...
