They’re surprisingly easy, packed with flavor, and become a go-to whenever the grill comes out. I’ve had so many requests for this recipe — probably because I’ve been sharing them on Instagram Stories almost every weekend. Once you … Read more

I’m sure you have no Halloween candy left, right? Like, none. You probably didn’t eat any last night either. And you probably didn’t open a bulk-sized box of candy bars for a late trick-or-treater at 7:59 PM. Nope. Not at all. That kind of thing just happens to me — the chocolate-and-candy addict. Since you … Read more

Hello lover. That’s some beautiful-looking bacon, isn’t it? And those pecans? They’re extra special. They were toasted in bacon grease. I’m unabashedly a bacon fan, and this dish was incredible. What should I call it? A salad, I suppose — though I don’t usually think of what I eat as a typical “salad.” Still, this … Read more

That’s right. I went there. A bold banana split topped with caramelized bananas, a creamy peanut butter drizzle and crispy bacon. So what makes up the Elvis banana split? First, caramelized bananas: I sliced bananas and cooked them in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until they were golden and slightly caramelized. Next came three … Read more

Who doesn’t want a bright, peachy cocktail to celebrate the 4th? I’m newly in love with the gin and tonic. It’s only been a few months, really. Besides cake, which is always a constant, gin and tonic has quietly become my go-to summer sipper. I’ve had great gin and tonics before and some that tasted … Read more
