Those of you who follow me on Facebook may have seen this root beer cocktail as an impromptu recipe a few weeks back, but it's so good I wanted to give it the attention it deserves. I'm not typically a big fan of soda, but this drink is worth making an exception. I recommend using all-natural soda if you can find it, and diet root beer will taste just as good! Be careful with this one. It's as tasty as a milkshake, and you can hardly tell there's booze in it -- always a dangerous ... continue reading...
Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Here we are at the start of summer, and I am bringing you a decidedly fall dish: Glazed Sweet Potatoes. First of all, these potatoes coated in butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup are so sinfully delicious, you wouldn't want to wait until next season to try them. Secondly, I have a love-hate relationship with summer right now, so I'm happy to daydream about shorter days, pumpkin pie, and corduroy. My main complaint about summer is the l-o-n-g days. It's awesome that I can take photos of our ... continue reading...

Here's a treat for you: A savory Smoked Salmon Pizza! What's not to love about pizza? It's hard to get tired of it because you can make it differently every time! When looking for a new way to make salmon, I came across a smoked salmon pizza recipe that I was excited to try. I tweaked it a little, and it did not disappoint! This crust uses almost 50% whole wheat flour and is very easy to make. I use my stand mixer, but you could also make it by hand since it needs very little ... continue reading...
Bonus Recipe: Chewy Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate and Caramel
Do you love a hearty, chewy cookie? Then you have come to the right place, my friend. These reduced-sugar chewy oatmeal cookies are dense, chewy and packed with chocolate and caramel. They are somewhat healthy (for a cookie) because they use 50% whole wheat flour and only 1/2 cup of sugar. (You could replace the chocolate and caramel with chopped dried fruit and have an even healthier treat!) When looking for caramel squares for another recipe, I found caramel bits in the baking section. ... continue reading...

Hi, Fellow Chefs. Summer break is upon us! Does that fill you with joy, anxiety, or a little of both? I guess I would have to say both.

What will you do this summer? Now, let's talk about my favorite thing: The Food. My weekly dinner menus usually feature a ... continue reading...

Ranch Turkey Club Salad
This club salad loaded with turkey, bacon, and avocado is just right for summer because it's easy and doesn't heat up the kitchen! Ranch Turkey Club Salad is perfect for when you don't feel like cooking, don't want to heat up the kitchen, or need a quick dinner. This hearty dinner salad fits the bill for all those situations! To really make this like a club sandwich, I could have added croutons, but I'm not actually a big crouton fan. Instead, I suggest serving it ... continue reading...
Cilantro Margarita: A fresh twist on a classic cocktail!
If you like the bright, fresh taste of cilantro, you will love this Cilantro Margarita! I recently asked for cocktail ingredient suggestions on my Facebook Page, and the witty, adorable Lilly Sue of Lilly Sue's Bites and Brews suggested cilantro. It has taken me a couple weeks to get to it, but I present to you the Cilantro Margarito! Not quite a mojito or a margarita, this fizzy cocktail stands out with bright cilantro flavor. I realize this isn't a terribly creative cocktail, ... continue reading...
Cinnamon Nutella Dip: Takes 5 minutes and tastes like chocolate cheesecake!
Hello, my friends! I could hardly wait to show you this Nutella dip that tastes like chocolate cheesecake today! Recently, I bought the kids whole wheat pretzel rods thinking they would be a fun, healthy snack. Neither of them wanted anything to do with them, and I will admit that they were a tad bland and dry. I hate wasting food, so I wanted to find a way to trick convince them to eat them. Enter this yummy Nutella dip. I had everything on hand to make this, and you might too. You can happily ... continue reading...
Award-Winning Banana Pudding
The banana pudding you see here once won first prize in a dessert contest. It will be a winner at your house too! Once upon a time, I was a database programmer. No really, it's true. When I worked at a consulting company, we had a summer picnic with a dessert contest. I decided to bring banana pudding, a picnic classic, right? I told my co-workers ahead of time, and they urged me to choose something else, telling me that banana desserts never win the competition. (They were old ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu # 17 – New Grocery List Feature!
Hi, Fellow Chefs. ย I hope everyone had a right dandy week. ย Mine didn't go quite as planned, but it did end with getting a new car, so that was definitely a win! ย We upsized from our Kia Soul to a Mazda 5 so I can not only cart around my two kids but also a couple of their friends. ย It was the smallest possible car that carries six people, and I love it so far. That's enough small talk because I have something exciting to tell you: ย I have partnered with Ziplist to give you a new way to build ... continue reading...
Skillet Chicken Marsala: A classic Italian recipe made easy!
This Skillet Chicken Marsala is quick and easy enough for busy weeknights, but you'll swear it came from an Italian restaurant! Chicken Marsala always reminds me of the restaurant Buca di Beppo. Have you been there? It's a family-style Italian place good for groups because you get huge portions of food to share. Back in the olden days before Matt and I had kids, we used to go there with friends for birthdays or just for fun. We would always get a tremendously large pizza of some sort, ... continue reading...
