It’s an approachable, yet sophisticated side for your end-of-summer soirees and upcoming tailgates. These aren’t just any old rice and beans—these are sassy rice and beans with jalapenos, cilantro, and honey-lime dressing.

My 7-year-old daughter after she finished eating this chicken for lunch said “Daddy, the chicken was so!… so!… so!…” She was overwhelmed with emotions and had a hard time finding the right word to describe how good she thought the chicken tasted. I get compliments on my cooking very regularly, but that one was very special to me. I agree, the chicken was superb. A perfection. My favorite meat for making Hunan chicken is breast meat....

I have the perfect answer for any of you who’ve ever found yourself standing at the pantry door wondering, “what can I do with extra trail mix?” Or, if like me you constantly have odd bits of baking chips, dried fruits, and nuts flitting about your pantry, trail mix cookies are a perfect way to use them up. These trail mix cookies are soft, chewy oatmeal cookies loaded with salty-sweet, nutty-fruity, chocolaty goodies....

Leftovers are one of my absolute favorite parts of Thanksgiving—one meal just isn’t enough to fully appreciate the feast! When it comes to How Much Turkey to Cook Per Person, I err on the side of more, not less. While some leftovers you can catch me munching straight from the refrigerator in my PJs (ahem, Glazed Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Potato Pie), others deserve a little extra TLC, and the turkey is no exception....

The concept of a twice baked sweet potato is simple—bake a sweet potato, whip up the insides with other delicious things, stuff it back into potato skin, and bake the sweet potato a second time—but the resulting dish always makes me feel like I won the lottery. The creamy, fluffy interior is just HEAVEN. The contrast between the broiled top and the whipped filling beneath makes my heart pitter-patter. Twice baked sweet potatoes take a bit of extra effort compared to Roasted Sweet Potatoes or Mashed Sweet Potatoes, but not much....

FavoritePinShare This is one of those recipes that you know is going to be good even before you make it. I mean seriously. A cookie along the bottom, brownie in the center, and caramel layer and chocolate on top? These were amazing! When I found the recipe I saw comments that the cookie layer on the bottom wasn’t hard enough. Well I thought everything about these brownies were perfect. I feel like brownies are supposed to be nice and chewy....

Then, when you make it into a sandwich, you can add juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, rich cheese, and of course, two slices of perfectly toasted bread or flaky croissants. Not only is it hearty and delicious, but it also has all the essential nutrients you need in a meal, from carbohydrates and fiber to protein and fats. Everyone has their own favorite chicken salad recipe....

Eggplant parmesan is a thing of beauty. Layers of eggplant, marinara sauce, and cheese, baked to perfection — I’ll give you a second to let all that decadence sink in. If you’ve never tried this Italian classic before, you might think — no meat? How can that be any good? The key is in the eggplant. Thanks to its earthy flavor and creamy texture, you won’t miss the meat at all!...

PB&J is one of the most popular food items in kids’ lunchboxes. It’s super yummy, nutritious, and affordable. These sandwiches are so easy to make, too. Who can blame moms and dads for packing PB&J for their kids? But you can’t really call a PB&J sandwich a complete meal. It needs a few sides to make it more filling and nutritious. Plus, it’s those additional accompaniments that add excitement to the meal....

The first week of January sometimes feels like a polar plunge from the warm, cozy hug of holiday cookies and champagne into dry, cold, “healthy” food. It doesn’t have to be this way! I passionately believe that eating well should not to taste like a sacrifice. Healthy recipes like this one shouldn’t require you to spend a fortune on ingredients or make trips to specialty stores. That’s my goal with my recipes here (especially the ones in my upcoming cookbook!...

This easy whole30 chili recipe is inspired by my popular keto chili, which actually happens to be whole30 as well. I just added more veggies to this version, and we’re making it on the stovetop instead of the slow cooker like the other one. Just because I’m all about giving you options. 😉 Since many people like to start the whole30 in January, I thought it was a good time to show you how to make whole30 chili....

These 10 Amish bread recipes are a great example of that. The great thing about Amish bread is that it usually uses simple, easily sourced ingredients. You won’t need a lot of hard-to-find items that you’ll have to source from online or ethnic markets. Of course, to make authentic Amish bread, you’d have to churn your own butter, milk your own cows, and source your own grain. Luckily, you can get the same great taste with these Amish bread recipes with primarily store-bought ingredients....

That’s how I feel about camping cocktails. Camping is the perfect time for enjoying a good, stiff drink. You’re out in the woods, in touch with nature, under the stars, and maybe even sitting by a gorgeous lake. The only thing that could make that better is a nice buzz to help you unwind and appreciate nature’s beauty even more. Unfortunately, you don’t have a fully stocked kitchen with dozens of bottles of booze, a blender, a stovetop with pans for heating things, and a nice pantry and spice rack from which to pull ingredients....
