I love the idea of taking plain ol' Southern biscuits and gravy and giving them a twist. A Mexican twist! While browsing a brunch menu online, I stumbled upon green chile and cheddar biscuits served with chorizo gravy, and I was salivating. Much to my happiness, when I Googled this meal, an easy recipe popped up. I quite love taking restaurant...

Why oh why didn't I buy more than one bag of Birthday Cake Oreos? I finally found them several months after searching like a madwoman and resigning myself to the fact that I'd never find them, and then I only buy one bag? I think I was trying to convince myself to eat healthier. Then of course I stuff them into white chocolate chip cookies....

When I stumbled upon this recipe, it was interesting enough that I had to try it. Super healthy and bright for summer (which I may note that the Pacific Northwest did not get the memo that summer has officially started— what is up with 50 degree weather in June?), I have to admit it was not my favorite thing I've ever made. But then again, I'm...

Holy cow was the dish spicy! I really liked the idea of Italian and Mexican fusion from this shrimp fajita pasta we used as inspiration with our own extra spicy homemade enchilada sauce based off this recipe, but hyper spiced up with extra cumin, ancho chili powder, and adobo. We might have spiced our enchilada sauce a little too much. The...

Best use for leftover homemade everything hamburger buns? Sloppy Joe's. Healthy Sloppy Joe's made with ground turkey breast, but all the flavor thanks to ketchup, worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce and paste, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a myriad of spices. There are some red chili flakes in there, which give it a little bit of kick....

We wanted to do a great bbq cookout to celebrate the start of summer. We settled on cooking up an interesting kind of burger and doing everything ourselves. That meant, the patty, the bun, and even the fries. It was an extravagant meal to pull off, and although we stumbled a few times, it all came together eventually. The buns came from a...

Still learning about how to prepare our foods, we mistakenly grilled up a piece of flaky, white fish outside on the grill. Oops! Next time we'll stick to salmon and tuna steaks. Despite this sometimes odd texture of the fish, it was still quite tasty, covered in tapenade. The real star of this show however was fresh artichokes with lemon caper...

Lox "made" at home is something Dustin and I probably never in a million years would have imagined we would eat, but in the same vein, we never thought we would make homemade bagels either. Now we must attempt to combine the two, and make fresh cream cheese... We started out with a beautiful filet of fresh Copper River salmon after we stocked...

This isn't much of a recipe, but rather a perfect flavor combination— fresh, lightly seared scallops over brown rice and sweet roasted peppers topped with slightly spicy chorizo— that all explodes in your mouth at once. The cooked chorizo creates a delicious, greasy (in a good way) sauce for the scallops and complements the peppers. Top with...

These are so much better than the taquitos you buy from the frozen section of the grocery store, plus they are baked, not fried, so they are healthier! There are a million different recipes out there, but we wanted to adjust the ingredients to our own taste preferences, so we threw our own recipe together. Success! First, we took uncooked...
