As an “Irish” girl, I LOVE potatoes. I mean, L O V E them. I could eat them with every meal of every day. Potatoes all the ways. Hot, fried, boiled, baked, smothered in butter, smothered in sauces, //smothered in balsamic//; Cold, covered in mayo, mixed with bacon and scallions… Potatoes. All. The. Ways. So
Broccoli Cheese Risotto
Since making my very first risotto a few months back and discovering exactly how not hard it was, I have sort of been on a risotto kick. This is the third one I’ve made, and I can’t wait to try more. I especially love this one because it’s a good way for me to get
Unicorn Fudge
So we are a little late on posting about our May recipe for #12NewTreats… oops! We totally made this at the end of May and then I blinked and the month of June was gone and July was upon us… So anyway. My daughter is all pink and purple and rainbows and unicorns and mermaids
Italian Bread Dipping Oil
Several years ago, I went to visit my friend Sara in Kansas City with some girlfriends, and we went out to dinner at this Italian place called Garozzo’s. On the way there, Sara raved about the bread dipping oil. WAIT TILL YOU DIP YOUR BREAD IN THAT OIL… OMG. And I chuckled a little, thinking,
Vegetarian Enchilada Skillet
While I was vegetarian in May, I ate a TON of Mexican recipes. It wasn’t even really on purpose… okay, maybe subconsciously it was, but… there are just a lot of options out there for vegetarians in Mexican cuisine. This dish has become one of the ‘keepers’ out of all the new recipes I tried
Mexican Street Corn Tostadas
These tostadas were quite possibly my most favorite new recipe that I made when we went vegetarian during the month of May. Oh GOSH these were so good! Also, as a result of making this, I was inspired to create a delicious corn dip recipe, so stay tuned for that! I have already made these
Slow Cooker Enchilada Quinoa
I found this recipe on Pinterest a while ago while looking for vegetarian meals. I wasn’t sure how ‘on board’ hubby would be with a vegetarian chili-style meal, so when we decided to go vegetarian for a month back in May, I jumped at the chance to make this! This recipe was very, very tasty,
Roasted Tomato Risotto
Risotto is one of those dishes that intimidates people, and I am not even really sure why. A few months back, I tried my hand at risotto by making The Pioneer Woman’s //sun-dried tomato risotto//, and it was FABULOUS. And it was amazingly NOT HARD. I don’t know if you guys know me? Or if
BBQ Chicken Nachos
Ever since I threw together these //BBQ pulled pork nachos// a couple years ago, I have been wanting to do a BBQ chicken version. I typically prefer BBQ chicken over BBQ pork. So I wanted to put a new spin on it. These nachos feature my favorite //pickled red onions//, spicy pickled jalapenos, and a
French Onion Zoodle Bake
This dish popped my zoodle cherry. I have been wanting to try zoodles for a while now, but I hadn’t quite found the right recipe until I found this one. I love alfredo sauce too much to cover zoodles with it. I might try a Bolognese sauce on zoodles, but for this month, we need
