I know Dustin was a little disappointed we didn't go all out on with our traditional Valentine's Day meal, omitting the Caesar salad. I hope these sandwiches can offer him a little consolation. They maximize the best parts of a chicken Caesar salad— chicken, Caesar dressing, and parmesan cheese, while minimizing the more boring parts (i.e....

When I found the risotto recipe on Creative Culinary, I also stumbled upon this recipe for smoked chicken with a cheddar beer sauce. We just grilled up some chicken and topped with the sauce for a fun twist on a basic and easy chicken dinner. It was really good served with a side of caramelized onions and green chile mashed potatoes.

How Sweet It Is has become one of my favorite food blogs. Every time I go there, I see something delicious and drool-worthy I want to stuff my face with. This past week (while we were iced and snowed in, cooking like crazy) Dustin and I had a couple of dishes from this awesome blog on our menu. Today we'd like to talk about the caramelized...

I was looking through our kitchen cabinets trying to figure out how to get rid some of the stuff we have stockpiled. Unfortunately, we just don't have the storage space to have an awesomely stocked kitchen. I came across the small boxes of cornbread mix we bought around Thanksgiving but ended up not using and thought to myself, "how can we...

This recipe is related to our Peanut Sauce and Chicken Flatbread, not surprising since we still had a mostly full jar of Trader Joe's peanut sauce. I was inspired to make this dish based on an episode of the Nate Berkus Show I happened to catch while I was visiting my parents for the holidays. Jamie Oliver was visiting Nate's house teaching him...

The last time we ordered takeout pizza, we faced a dilemma about what pizza to order. We narrowed our topping choices down to our traditional favorite of pepperoni, basil, and black olives, chicken and bacon with ranch dressing, and barbecue chicken. After much deliberation we settled on the pizza with ranch dressing. But ever since that moment,...

It was supposed to be a pizza, but when we rolled out the dough it was way too square, looking more flatbread. Sometimes I think food has a mind of its own and shapes itself into what it wants to be no matter what you do to it. We absolutely could not change the shape of our dough. Flatbread or pizza— either way it was delicious. Dustin always...

Why, oh why, could we not have discovered the Red Lion Pub in Houston sooner? Someone recommended we eat there and try one specific dish that would change our lives. This someone was right. The chefs there are absolute geniuses for creating what is without a doubt one of the greatest dishes ever— tandoori chicken enchiladas. That's right. They...

One of the unfortunate things about being home all day while something is slow cooking in the crock-pot is that you are constantly bombarded by the smell of delicious food. This is the predicament I was in. This chicken tortilla soup smelled heavenly as it cooked all afternoon. I couldn't wait for Dustin to get home so we could finally eat...

While Dustin and I often venture out and experiment with new entrees at restaurants, I feel like when it comes to appetizers, we order the same things over and over again, particularly at Italian restaurants. We always seem to order the caprese or tomato salad, something made with entirely too much mozzarella, or bruschetta. We just really the...
