Everyone loves a good soft pretzel, right? These soft pretzel knots are a tiny bit different from your average pretzel shape (they’re easier!) but they’ve still got all the great pretzel flavor. Plus, they’re served with BEER CHEESE for dipping. You guys, BEER CHEESE. I love beer and cheese, so this is obviously a match…
Tom kha gai (thai coconut chicken soup) is probably one of my favorite soups of all time. It’s the perfect blend of all the things I like: spice, creaminess, tart acid, savory flavor, and texture. It is a soup that I have come to know quite well. The last restaurant I worked at in San…
Okay, I’m officially declaring it soup season. You heard it here first! Red pozole with chicken is one of my absolute favorite comfort food meals. I grew up eating it in the Fall and Winter months because it was a favorite of my Dad’s. He usually made it with pork shoulder or butt which is…
I can’t believe it’s already July. Even though this year has been an absolute shit-show, at least it’s moving quickly! I figure that’s more than enough reason to enjoy these fresh watermelon margaritas! And they are fresh with a capital ‘F’. Summer watermelon is the absolute best and making a quick watermelon juice for these…
I know it’s still only May, but I am already knee deep in grilling season. I mean, I love to grill year round, but there is something so nice about grilling on a warm summer evening with a beer in hand in the backyard. These grilled pork banh mi sandwiches are one of my favorite…
It’s taco tuesday and I can’t think of a more appropriate recipe to share than these 30 minute caramelized pork tacos with pineapple-habanero salsa! Not only are they delicious, but they are easy to make and they’re done in 30 minutes! I love a quick and easy weeknight meal, but you shouldn’t sacrifice quality for…
I’m getting one last recipe in just in time for Cinco De Mayo! I’m all about the food in general, but I really love a good frozen margarita, especially these frozen strawberry-mango margaritas. The perfect margarita that’s not too sweet with lots of fresh fruit flavor, and zip from fresh lime juice. So many times…
You may be thinking that 5 ingredients isn’t enough to make the best guacamole, but you’d be wrong! Guacamole is honestly my favorite dip ever and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to really perfect the recipe. It’s a simple thing, but done right can be truly magical. It’s a self explanatory recipe, but…
Can you believe that for once Cinco de Mayo is actually falling on a Tuesday?! This definitely calls for a celebration and there is honestly no better way to celebrate than with these passion fruit margaritas. For a long time, I really struggled with being able to create restaurant quality margaritas. Maybe I had the wrong…
Now that I have this brand spankin’ new site, I felt that it was time to update some of my older recipes with fresh photos and copy. I have been making these New York style bagels pretty regularly, but the photos from two years ago really aren’t doing these bad boys justice. Now, what exactly…
