While I’m a little late for St. Paddy’s Day 2019, you can either save this recipe for next year or enjoy discounted corned beef and make it today! I hope you had a happy Get Drunk While Wearing Green Day, and I hope you come back to this recipe for years to come. I know

American cookies and baked goods are often made with more sugar than anything else. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a sugar fiend and definitely don’t have a problem with it, but sometimes, I like to change things up. A few months ago, I made some Italian cookies with chocolate and black pepper. If you made

Spiedie sauce is a New York State Fair classic. It’s best enjoyed on chicken, and that chicken is best cooked on the grill. The marinade is fairly easy to make at home and the end results are delicious. If you don’t have a grill or you don’t feel like grilling in the middle of winter

I adapted this recipe from one of my mom’s favorite Instant Pot recipes, and it turned out pretty well for my first conversion. The beef was so tender and the sauce was one of the best I’ve ever made. It uses a LOT of garlic, but don’t let that dissuade you. The sauce doesn’t just

There are a handful of foods that remind me of home. Garbage plates are probably the first, and I hope to have a recipe up for you sometime soon (I need to perfect a meat sauce of my own, as it’s a signature part of the dish). Second would have to be chicken french. It’s

Somehow, I’ve managed to spend six years of my life with an Idahoan and almost two years living in the potato state without adding a mashed potato recipe to my blog. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t because I have some vendetta against mashed potatoes — they’re probably my favorite way to eat potatoes —

Sometimes you want something sweet but don’t necessarily want to put in the effort involved in baking. Maybe you’re having a lazy weekend with your friends, or maybe you’re cuddling up for a movie night with your sweetheart. Whether it’s one of those reasons, a bad day (or week), or just because you’ve got a

Before we moved west and parted ways with so many people back in my hometown and our college community, my best friend and I used to go out for Indian food. When we couldn’t go out or were too lazy to get out of our lounge clothes, we’d hop to one of our apartments and
