Two years ago, a dear friend of ours, Lyle, came to visit at Christmas time and brought a beautiful jar of bourbon pecans, and I scoffed, because I hate pecans. Or… so I thought… Cuz then I ate one of these and I couldn’t stop eating them, and I insisted on getting the recipe from

La Bomba Nachos
A friend of mine shared this recipe video on my Facebook feed a few weeks ago, and I knew immediately I had to make these nachos. La Bomba Nachos, fools! So I did change some things. First, I nixed the mozzarella cheese. People. Mozzarella cheese has no place in Mexican cooking. Stop mixing cuisines, mkay?
Steakhouse Mushrooms
My husband and I got married in a small seminary just outside of West Philadelphia, and had our reception at Morton’s Steakhouse downtown. We reserved their private boardroom for the event, which was small at less than 45 people, and we treated everyone to an amazing steak dinner. It was a lovely, memorable evening, and
Broccoli Potato Chowder
A couple weeks ago my girl Jodie over at //Two Lucky Spoons// posted a recipe on Instagram of her Ham Broccoli and Potato Chowder and my mouth instantly started watering. Only problem is, I kinda hate ham (fight me), but I’m also leaning towards vegetarian lately. So I asked her, could I make it without
Paleo Coconut Oil Fudge
So I am always down to try Paleo recipes because they are grain-free and sugar-free, which I realize sounds icky, but can sometimes be really good! I also love the flavor of coconut oil so when I saw this recipe for //coconut oil fudge//, I was all about it. This recipe literally could NOT have

Cheeseburger Nachos
GUYYSSSSSSSS. I knocked these out of the park. I really, really did. They were SO GOOD. Last week I posted about my //Buffalo Chicken Nachos// and how they just barely won a contest for which recipe I would make next – well these came in a very close second. I had been tossing this idea
Spicy Mixed Nuts
I love snack mixes. They are usually ridiculously easy to make, and highly addictive, and great to have out at a party. I also love mixed nuts. Planters Mixed Nuts – my favorite – I usually eat all the Brazil nuts first and then all the cashews and then it’s a free-for-all for the rest.
