because food is sexy
Let me introduce you to something amazing. Perfectly roasted sweet potatoes with savory cider caramel. There’s butternut squash in there, too. You probably haven’t had sweet potatoes or butternut squash like this. I’ve never been a fan of overly-candied sweet potatoes (or candied yams) because I’ve always found them to…
Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to share my recipe for a deliciously juicy, crispy skinned citrus and herb dry brined roasted turkey. The video tutorial is a couple years old, but still relevant. This wonderful bird is served with a delicious maple cognac gravy, which is totally optional. WTF is Spatchcocking…
If you think I’m gonna make a green bean casserole that isn’t bomb AF and worthy of being on my blog, you’ve got me f’d up. For years, I avoided any kind of green bean casserole because it’s notoriously made with canned soup. No shade, but yuck. Then I realized,…
You guys. Dutch apple cheesecake blondies. Say it with me. Dutch. Apple. Cheesecake. Blondies. I wasn’t ready. Like, I knew exactly how these were gonna taste before I made them (I can taste things in my mind, swear), but I was NOT ready for the actual bite. Tears rushed to…
This post is sponsored by Frick’s Meats. All opinions are my own. The aroma that permeates your soul as this honey-dijon glazed ham slowly bakes in your oven is going to feel and smell like the holidays. Our mouths watered for an entire three hours until it was finished. I…
I roast a lot of chicken. It’s my favorite way to eat a chicken. But this million dollar chicken? Oh my GAWD! It’s glorious. Succulent, juicy, insanely flavorful, I could go on, and I will. If you make this, you will subject yourself to an extremely couthless eating experience. Finger…
I’m giggling at the title of this recipe, don’t mind me. Anyway, if you want to amp up your brussel game, try these miso-honey brown butter brussel sprouts. Salty umami-packed miso paste is melted down with brown butter, thin slices of garlic and shallot, and whisked with sweet honey. Such…
To know me is to know my love for herbs de provence. I adore this incredibly flavorful and richly fragrant herb blend so much, I put it on almost everything. Nothing sings to me louder than herbs de provence roasted chicken. It’s a song in the key of life. Now,…
If we add fruit to our cakes, that makes them healthy, right? Right?? Let’s all just lie to ourselves this once. This spiced apple walnut bundt cake is worth lying to yourself about. What I love most about this cake is that it’s not too sweet. It’s actually perfect on…
I’ve been eating southern-style collard greens for as long as I can remember. My grandmother on my dad’s side (may she rest), used to whip them up special for me pretty much any time I wanted them. And I wanted them a lot. Both of my grandma’s killed it in…
