I know, BBQ Spaghetti sounds strange and possibly kind of gross, but trust me on this one people. It’s really kind of delicious. An unusual combination for sure, but tasty nonetheless. At least to me. I mean, sauce? Good. Spaghetti? Good. Pulled pork? Definitely good. I’m kind of up to my eyeballs in packing right now….
Main Dish
Salt And Pepper Shrimp
Homemade salt and pepper shrimp is almost ridiculously easy to make yourself and is so delicious. Four years ago, Stephen and I cashed in our airline miles and planned what was sure to be an exciting trip to Buenos Aires. We spent months deciding where to stay (a boutique hotel with free wine spigots in…
Nutella, Brie, And Bacon Grilled Cheese
We’re kicking off National Grilled Cheese month with a totally over the top and totally delicious Nutella, Brie, and Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It is not safe to leave me alone with a hunk of good cheese. Chances are pretty good that I’ll eat the whole thing. I once signed up for this amazing cheese…
Tofu Miso Ramen
Hi there, Stephen here. Today I’m bringing you another guest post with a homemade tofu miso ramen recipe. I love Japanese food, but it’s something I usually leave to the professionals. I’ve had mixed results making sushi at home; I’m not brave enough to tempura fry anything; and my relatively new love, ramen, is so…
Thai Noodle Salad (Yum Woon Sen)
It’s only May and it’s already too humid for me to want to cook anything. This could be a problem. What I need are more dishes like this Thai noodle salad. Things that are easy and don’t require the oven. Any ideas?? While you think about that, let me tell you about this dish. It’s…
Cheese Grits With Black Beans, Avocado, And Pico De Gallo
Grits are definitely not something I grew up eating. No, I grew up in the land of diners and small independent pizza places around every corner. Stephen on the other hand grew up in the land of biscuits and grits. I had never even tried grits until my first visit to Nashville in 2003. We…
Peanut Noodles With Chili Oil
I like peanut butter. Peanut butter sandwiches aren’t bad and I’ll occasionally eat a spoonful of peanut butter if I’m starving and there are no other easy snacks. It’s good, filling, and I like it. Stephen on the other hand, LOVES peanut butter. He could probably eat an entire jar in a couple days even…
Sausage Kolache With Jalapenos And Cheese
Exactly 9 years ago, Stephen and I spent a rainy and snowy week in Paris. We had limited vacation funds, it was freezing, and the weather was an annoying mix of rain and snow. But we had an amazing trip. We had both visited the city in the past and had seen all the major…
Cliff Huxtable’s Ding Dong Eight-Alarm Chili
Today we have a guest post courtesy of my husband Stephen, a true chili aficionado. ………………………………………………………….. Children of the 80’s: Do you remember the Cosby Show episode where Cliff makes his famous chili? I couldn’t believe it when I ran across the recipe in an old Gourmet. I’ve held on to it for years without making it,…
