S’more Trail Mix
After visiting the Antelope Slot Canyons near Page, Arizona, we arrived at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We are staying in a cabin right on the rim of the canyon. It’s been a lot of fun watching the sunrises and sunsets from our porch rocking chairs. We’ve stayed in these cabins countless times during my childhood, […]
Loaded Buffalo Hot Dogs
Grand Teton National Park has always been one of my favorite stops during our summer road trips. Elliott and I are staying in a cozy little cabin in the woods and have been loving our hikes with spectacular views of the mountains. We spent the late afternoon picnicking by Jackson Lake, enjoying the views of the […]
Buffalo And Blue Cheese Loaded Fries
After spending a few days in the Grand Teton National Park, we headed north to Yellowstone. Yellowstone National Park is probably my absolute favorite park within the United States. Banff National Park is right up there too, but that’s because we got married there. Although the geysers are impressive and the valleys are beautiful, the wildlife […]
Bbq Oysters with a Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce
Several times a year, I drive down to the coast with empty coolers to pick up lots of fresh Louisiana Seafood, the best of Gulf Seafood. Luckily, much of the seafood is in season year-round, so there is never a shortage of domestic fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs. This spring, we’ve also had countless backyard crawfish […]
Super-Creamy Roasted Garlic (And How To Freeze It!)
Roasted garlic is one of my favorite ingredients that really elevates the flavors of a dish. While raw garlic has an astringent taste, roasted garlic is creamy and much sweeter. It’s a great addition to soups, salad dressing, dips, mashed potatoes, or as a spread for toast. These golden little nuggets are so good that you can […]
Black Squid Ink Risotto with Seared Scallops
With holiday season quickly approaching (crazy, right?), I thought it would be fun to share a few recipes that were a bit more elegant and fit for a holiday party. Even though I often make scallops and risotto for weeknight dinners, I think it’s also sophisticated enough for special occasions. Instead of turning to Mushroom Risotto, my […]
Sartù Di Riso (Meatball, Sausage, And Rice Timbale)
I know what you’re thinking. Why on earth did you put meat in the middle of a cake? That’s just gross. Don’t worry, I’ll explain. Sartù di riso is actually an Italian rice dish, not a cake. It can be baked in several different types of pans, but I love using a bundt cake pan. By using a […]
Scallion Pancakes with a Spicy Dipping Sauce
Commonly served in Chinese restaurants, scallion pancakes make a great party appetizer and are quite easy to make at home. These chewy pancakes are super-flaky and can either be fried or grilled to perfection. Fried pancakes tend to be a little more moist and chewy, while grilled pancakes are a bit more crispy since the […]
Poblano Peppers Stuffed with a Cherry Tomato Israeli Couscous
I just returned from spending the holidays in the mountains, where we ate some really great food, skied, and ate some more. Whenever we visit a new place, we always try to find the best local restaurants that are a bit off the beaten path and try to avoid chain restaurants as much as we […]
Apple Brownies
My Grandmother used to make these all the time for me when I was young. She finally gave me the recipe and I have been making them since! They are super moist and just incredible. Have one in the morning with your coffee or warm one up and place vanilla ice cream on top for […]
