Do y’all ever find yourselves just kinda zoned out, thinking about donuts during a layover in a stuffy airport? I thought so. — I found myself doing exact that when I was on my way back home from a quick trip to Seattle a couple weeks ago. I think I ended up with a list…
Brûléed Cheddar Mac and Cheese
Can we just take a minute to talk about my love for mac ‘n cheese? Creamy, warm, simple to make. It’s one of my most common go-to’s for a cozy night in (which is pretty much every night, right?). To celebrate my partners over at Tillamook expanding nationwide and into the East Coast (yessssss!), I…
Whiskey Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sandwich
This past weekend, I drove back to my home state of Kentucky for the first of many warmer weather lake weekends. It was finally warm enough to feel like that dreadful winter blaaaah had left us for good. It seems only appropriate to celebrate spring and summer finally showing it’s pretty little face with a twist…
Kentucky Derby + Mint Julep Madness
Julep season is upon us! Although I would strongly argue that all year is technically julep season, it is undoubtably the time of year when everyone and their mother decides that they need to bust out the mint and mix up the famous southern sipper. Growing up in Kentucky, the Derby was the Cinderella’s Ball of…
Lasagna Hand Pies
This might be one of my favorite comfort food mix-ups yet, y’all. Lasagna is no joke in my house. There is something amazing that happens when you bake layers of sharp tomato sauce, beef, Italian seasoned ricotta, and creamy mozzarella together. The result is 100% comfort. I’ve teamed up with Gardein to show you how I turned…
15 Minute Shrimp Scampi
I basically survived on 15 minutes meals last month. Between running around town snapping photos for upcoming spring menus in Nashville, working on a redesign for the blog, and everything else that everyday life throws into the mix, I have found myself getting home not really wanting to cook for an hour. If you don’t…
Malted Milk Chocolate Macarons (Robin Egg)
Move over Easter Bunny, I’m taking over the candy gig this year! — The absolute best part of the spring season, other than the actual daylight after noon that we finally get, is the candy. Y’all know what I’m talking about. It’s those bags of malted milk candy shell eggs that pull me into the…
Raspberry Rye Old Fashioned
Oh, the old-fashioned. — I’m not talking about your grandpa that yells at everyone during holiday get-togethers. We’re going for what I consider to be the ultimate cocktail go-to. I can’t help but feel like there is this old-timey, almost Westworld-ish vibes that immediately pop into my mind when I see this on a bar…
Sweet Potato Marshmallow Glazed Eclairs
2018 has been crazy, and all I really need is a tray full of éclairs. I don’t want to complain too much, because I’m very blessed to have a wonderful outlet to chat with everyone on, but we’ve all been there. In the past month, I’ve had a couple computer crashes, dropped or burned just…
Buffalo Ranch Popcorn Trail Mix
Bring on the buffalo wings and ranch dip! It’s Super Bowl time, and I’ve got a perfect touchdown recipe that you can make in just minutes for the big game. I’ve partnered with G.H. Cretors Popped Corn to blend their brand new Buffalo & Ranch Mix with some great grabbable bites to make a unique,…
