Those stupid Taco Bell Doritos Locos Tacos commercials have me really craving Doritos. As much as we try to stay away from overly processed food, sometimes the junk food you can buy at the grocery store really hits the spot. It's not gourmet or anything, but can be incredibly satisfying. I have this same problem with ballpark nacho cheese,...

We just made homemade BBQ sauce the other day, but the root beer based BBQ sauce that coats these chicken sandwiches is distinctly different than what we made previously (and just as tasty). There is a mostly sweet but slightly smoky undertone to the sauce. I really enjoyed the addition of the root beer flavor to this sauce. It also doesn't hurt...

A savory, buffalo chicken cannoli? Yes, it sounds a little weird, but it's delicious. If the word cannoli for dinner weirds you out, think of it as a giant buffalo chicken flauta. Basically it's cooked chicken (made super easy by using rotisserie chicken from Costco), mayonnaise, blue cheese, and Frank's hot sauce stuffed inside a fried...

I guess these are kind of like ricotta gnocchi, but they are bigger so they will be referred to as dumplings instead. Basically this is like Italian chicken and dumplings, slightly modified. We planned on making homemade tomato sauce but wimped out and opened a gourmet jar of garlic and chanterelle tomato sauce from Whole Foods to which we...

Whole Foods makes some great prepared chicken salads. Two of our favorites being the blackened chicken salad and the curried chicken salad. I wanted to take a shot at making our own curried chicken salad, with cashews and chickpeas, and serve it with homemade crackers. The chicken salad was fairly easy to craft. We just poached up two boneless...

We've been on an Indian kick lately. Here we're making Butter Chicken. We also will post about our Samosas soon. And a Curried Chicken Salad is also in the pipeline. Today's dish is a wonderful Indian staple with beautiful spices, delectable chicken, and a wonderful sauce to spoon up your rice or naan with. I followed a recipe for Butter Chicken...

Calling these Italian enchiladas would probably be blasphemous to an Italian, but I didn't have a better name for replacing enchilada sauce with tomato sauce. These were so good and simple, I can't believe it's something we've never thought of doing before. I took leftover tortillas spread a little tomato sauce on them before stuffing them...

We've made beef fajitas in the past, but we've yet to try recreate one of our often-weekly occurrences back home, Pappasito's chicken fajitas. Until now. Yes, this entire spread of food was just for the two of us, but when you do fajitas you have to go all out. We had chips and guacamole, salsa, refried beans, tortillas, garlic butter, Jack...

Clearly Dustin and I love the flavors of buffalo wings (see these burgers and this dip), so it was only a matter of time before we incorporated those flavors into something else, say lasagna. I am astounded at no-boil lasagna noodles. They allow your dish to come together so much faster than having to wait for your water to boil, then the...

This dish smells heavenly cooking up on your stove. Between the fragrant coconut milk and the spices being poured in, your senses will be overloaded with delicious smells. First, chop an onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent. If you want a spicier curry this is where you could cook up some peppers— we just used chili powder. Add...
