After the success of the Doritos crusted chicken tenders, we wanted to give a Mexican twist to the idea and crust chicken with tortilla chips, and serve it on top of a salad. Pretty healthy, right? The dressing on its own is a little boring— just chipotle powder blended with light sour cream and avocado, but when served with the tortilla chip...

EZ's, a San Antonio staple, was always a great place to hang out and grab a delicious burger. One of their specialties is the EZ's World Famous Bean Burger. I know what you're thinking. Vegetarian— yuck. If you're a vegetarian, this bean burger is not for you. It's a  beef patty mixed with black beans, and it is a harmonious, delicious...

I wanted to combine all of the flavors of a jalapeño popper into one giant and delicious sandwich. I described my idea to Dustin— basically make the middle of the sandwich the filling of a jalapeño popper, a delicious chicken salad with cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and chopped bacon. Of course, I wasn't forgetting the jalapeño part....

Why we have not yet incorporated our favorite buffalo chicken flavors into a pizza is beyond me. We made this pizza the other night when we watched the college football national championship game. Football food at its finest— hot sauce mixed with butter, chicken, blue cheese, onion (for some crunch instead of celery), as well as some burrata...

I feel like it's been forever since we posted a pizza, not since before we moved to California (unless you count this cauliflower crust one, which was good, but I wouldn't consider it a true pizza). Dustin had this brilliant idea to use chimichurri as the sauce for a pizza, so we basically turned this favorite burger of ours into an...

Simple, traditional, and utterly delightful. Spaghetti alla Carbonara is a classic Italian staple, and its such a minimal set of ingredients. Importantly, it takes very little time (especially compared to a homemade pasta sauce). Fry up a little pancetta, cook some pasta al dente (we used some high quality dried tubular pasta from my mom),...

I came up with this on a whim, and I completely miscommunicated my intentions to Erin. I think she expected a lamb shank with a sublet humus dressing, but instead she essentially got pita chip nachos. Now, I would consider her lucky because who doesn't want to be eating pita chip nachos? Our weekly trip to the farmer's market significantly...

I'm not sure where the idea for this dish came from, but it has been fermenting in my head for awhile. In promising to eat better this upcoming year, we came up with this really colorful and healthy meal. We bought some beautiful buttery scallops from a vendor at the farmer's market along with a bunch of fresh produce and this colorful,...

What a delicious Christmas Eve dinner. We stuffed a succulent pork tenderloin with pistachio, gorgonzola, thyme, and shallots. It's finished over a raspberry sauce and beside beer goat cheese grits. It was truly stellar, and Erin said it was restaurant-like. Although this was pretty rock solid, I would make two adjustments: use less filling,...

I guess it’s sort of becoming a thing that when Dustin goes away for his business trips to San Antonio I subsist on some sort of pasta and pesto sauce. Given the success of the mint pea and pumpkin seed pestos, I’m always thinking of new and unique pesto flavors to try. This time around I went for sage, and used pistachios and blue cheese,...
