I have a bottle of marsala hanging around in my kitchen from when I made wine cakes for Christmas. I know it’s a great sherry substitute when cooking, but despite that, I practically never use it. I always reach for my vermouth instead (which I put in practically everything). I’m going to be making a

If you’re in the mood for something sweet, savory, and spicy, you’re going to love this set-it-and-forget-it jambalaya. The prep involves a lot of chopping and dicing, but if you put on a little music, it goes by in no time. My recommendation? The band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. It really sets the tone (and

Crock pot meals are some of my favorites because I can throw stuff in the pot in the morning, turn it on, and have dinner ready in the evening whenever I need it. Meals like that are especially nice when either hubby has long meetings that take him until after or I have to leave

After raving about hers for months, my mom surprised me with an Instant Pot for my birthday! Now, in addition to slow cooker meals and regular-cooker meals, you can expect to see some pressure cooker meals on Apartment Eats!

I had a giant pork loin hanging out in my freezer and I knew it had been there for a while but I wasn’t sure just how long “a while” had been. While looking for recipe ideas for braising, roasting, marinating, and countless other things I wasn’t super interested in, I remembered that pulled pork

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

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
