I am a Philly girl and in Philly we love our cheesesteaks. Every Philadelphian you talk to will have a different favorite cheesesteak place. Personally, I like Jimmy G’s, Sonny’s, and D’Alessandro’s. I’ve never really thought to make them at home though because honestly, I am surrounded by so many good cheesesteak shops that can
Jazzed-Up Brown Spanish Rice
This is my favoritest Spanish rice recipe of all time. It has become a true staple in my house, especially for me when I make lunches for work for the week. It has evolved a lot over the past year, and I think I finally have a version that is both totally healthy and totally
Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
Hey guys! It’s been like, a really long time. Like almost a week. Sorry. I know you were all waiting on bated breath for my next blog entry but life happened there for a minute. Snowmageddon last Thursday, birthday celebrations over the weekend, lazy days off parked on the couch with my cat catching up
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Do you guys have any idea how fast the sun sets in the winter? It’s not fair to food bloggers. So you’ll have to excuse the appearance of these pictures. I tried my hardest – twice! That’s my favorite from the first try. Silly me was so excited about the pizza that I didn’t notice the
Blue Cheese Dressing
I. LOVE. Blue cheese dressing. Like I kind of have a sick obsession with it. It’s literally THE ONLY salad dressing I ever use. And I use it on more than just salad. I dip cheese fries in it (because it’s better than ranch). I dip anything “buffalo” in it (because it’s better than ranch).
Brown Rice Paella
I love paella. Correction: I love this paella. Until recently, paella was intimidating to me because of three things: It typically has seafood in it (ew!). I was under the impression it took forever to make. It typically has white rice in it. So mostly I avoided it until I stumbled upon this gem in
Chickie’s and Pete’s Cheese Fries
So if you’ve ever been to Philly, you probably have heard about Chickie’s and Pete’s. It’s a famous sports bar chain whose original location is actually in my neighborhood. They are probably most famous for their Crab Fries – crinkle-cut French fries seasoned with Old Bay seasoning, served with a cup of white cheese sauce
Chipotle Chicken Grilled Cheese
There’s this adorable restaurant over in Jersey called the Pop Shop that makes amazing food and they have a huge section on their menu just for grilled cheese. One day I tried what they call their Frazer Grilled Cheese – it’s a griddled chicken breast with Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeno-onion relish, and chipotle mayo. I’ll
Chipotle Mayo
Ok so let me just be honest up front and say that THIS IS NOT MY RECIPE. It’s Bobby Flay’s. But it’s so simple, and so perfect every time I make it, that I really have to share it with you. There is literally no way that I could improve upon it and make it
Chicken Piccata and Roasted Potatoes
Earlier this week I gave you a romantic steak dinner menu to serve to your special someone on Valentine’s Day. But maybe you don’t like steak. Or red wine. Or broccoli (I don’t blame you, I eat it very begrudgingly). This would be my next pick to serve to someone on Valentine’s Day. Chicken piccata
