Remember when I said we ate Hatch chiles in all of our meals, including breakfast? Well this Hatch chile cream cheese on bagels is mostly how we did it. The Hatch chiles are a nice addition to basic cream cheese— way better than your standard veggie or chive cream cheese. There's not much of a recipe to this, but I think it's a good idea that...

The end of the year means the important part of football season has arrived. Between college bowl games and the NFL playoffs there are plenty of games to keep a fan like me occupied! Especially since the Texans will get to play a role! Beat those Colts again today! Dustin and I love making a variety of appetizers for game day when we watch at...

The only savory food connection I have with Christmas day are these sausage balls. Every year my Grandma sits them out on Christmas day, and I plan to just eat a couple, but I end up eating enough to be my meal. Sausage balls are super easy to make with Bisquick, cheese, and ground sausage being basically the only ingredients, although I added...

As Hanukkah rolls around, we wanted to cook up a traditional treat, but we couldn't just do the traditional way through and through. With a little spice and flare, we came up with Chili-Cheese Latkes. I mean really. We all know chili-cheese fries are amazing, and latkes are just glorified fries, so it's a no brainer. Latkes are simple to prepare...

I wasn't a big bagel eater before I met Dustin. We ate doughnuts in my house. But bagels have really grown on me. We used to make trips to Einstein Bros. before classes as a special treat occasionally before class. I know Einstein doesn't make the greatest bagels in the world, but we were pretty limited in our choices in Houston. Dustin would...
