Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs Recipe I love deviled eggs. They are one of my guilty pleasures but I don’t make them as much as I should. However, with hard-boiled Easter eggs on hand, if you’re looking for a way to use up some of your eggs, here is a egg-cellent recipe! That’s because the egg whites are coated with Old Bay Seasoning and the filling is a mixture of mayo, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, celery salt, and optional horseradish....

comment icon 54 more comments And I give you now – wheat berries! Aren’t they cutest little grains you’ve ever seen? There’s a health foods store here in Cebu that has more Bob’s Red Mill products than I’ve ever seen in any one place, at one time, anywhere, ever, and so I’m making my way through the grains one bag at a time. Side note – I feel compelled to let you know ahead of time that I take issue with just one teensy little grain....

comment icon 94 more comments And I made you the Real Deal Dinner. As in corn tortillas stuffed with roasted peppers, butternut squash, and mushrooms, smothered with homemade tomatillo sauce and lovingly topped with melted cheese. I was inspired to make these mushroom enchiladas after visiting a Mexican restaurant in Montana that blew my socks off with everything good and fresh and wonderfully spicy. Wait, what? Montana is full of surprises, folks....

French Toast … with Croissants! After trying French toast made on croissants, regular French toast just won’t be the same. This croissant French toast is soft, tender, and the epitome of buttery perfection. That’s what happens when you start out with pastries made with a ton of butter and then cook the French toast in melted butter. Definitely a splurge breakfast or brunch, but so incredibly good. The French toast would be perfect on a holiday morning because it just feels and tastes more special than regular French toast but it’s so easy to make....

Candy Corn White Chocolate Blondies Around Halloween, I always make White Chocolate Candy Corn Cookies. Until I first posted them, I never knew just how much people love candy corn. I know it’s a love-it or hate-it type of food but for those who love it, you’re going to flip for these candy corn blondies. For example, my 7-year-old daughter loves, loves, loves candy corn. I didn’t even know how much until we were walking through the grocery store a few weeks ago and she exclaimed, “Mom, CANDY CORN!...

comment icon 523 more comments Do we love tacos or DO WE LOVE TACOS? We – team POY, readers and bloggers and friends and family alike – definitely love tacos. We also love all derivatives of tacos – taco bowls, burritos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, enchiladas, tostadas, nachos, etc., which is good news for the magic of vegetarian taco meat because it goes with everything. All of them. Not one taco relative left behind....

Easy Cheesy Chicken Fritters Recipe If you’re looking for the perfect, two-bite, fast, and easy recipe that the everyone adores, look no further than these chicken fritters. They’re made with boneless skinless chicken breasts, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, and plenty of seasonings and spices to give them tons of flavor!

That was not a joke. Forgotten chicken is a real thing and I’m asking you if you seriously remember it. I don’t, but Bjork does. And he mentioned it the other day, how much he ironically remembered and loved and missed having Forgotten Chicken as a kid. comment icon 203 more comments I thought I should do a nice wife thing and make it for him. It was also a nice self thing: Raw chicken shot?...

Looking for more chicken recipes? I love this Chicken Cordon Bleu, Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas, Chicken Tinga, or Hawaiian Bowls! Why I love this recipe: Homemade can’t be beat – There is so much flavor in the filling and wholesome ingredients that store-bought chicken pot pie can never compete with. And the filling and crust are both very simple to make. Make Ahead – The filling and pie crust can be made ahead, or the entire pie can be made in advance, or even frozen to enjoy another day....

comment icon 472 more comments You might be thinking of brightly colored veggies and lean proteins, and I can dig that. Most of the time. But today I’m thinking of chicken tamale pie: creamy corn bread, spicy enchilada sauce, seasoned chicken, and melted cheese baked into a pie dish. A PIE DISH. That right there is healing. I’ve had a rough go of it the last few days. After my embarrassing gas station encounter, there was the life-altering iPhone incident, and now there’s this....

comment icon 195 more comments Yes. I’m fully serious. Sweet Potato Noodle Salad. I have never loved a salad as much as I do in this moment – a salad whose flavor profile (chipotle meets roasted corn meets cilantro) is at absolute the center of my food happy place and whose entire texture and form just mimics a big ol’ plate of pasta. WHAAAT. Now we’re talking, kids. THIS is my kind of salad....

comment icon 176 more comments I’m still here! and so is this extra indulgent, feels like fall, crumb-heavy, spiced pumpkin coffee cake with a cinnamon streusel topping and a maple glaze. Ain’t nobody messing around with this one. No way no how. Pumpkin coffee cake to the max in the most deliciously crumbly-glazey way. So today I’m coming to you live from San Francisco! We’re spending a week on the West Coast involving a road trip from SF to Seattle (which will start today, when I finish this post!...

Easy Snickerdoodle Cake Recipe I love snickerdoodles and have taken the cinnamon-sugar flavor of the beloved cookie and worked it into bars, blondies, breads, and various cookies. It was about time to make a snickerdoodle cake. Snickerdoodle fans are going to be in heaven with this bundt cake. The interior is soft, buttery, dense, and has an almost pound cake-like texture. Greek yogurt (or sour cream) helps keep the cake moist and also provides an ever-so-slight tanginess that snickerdoodle cookies have....

Christmas Special K Bars Recipe This easy no-bake dessert is extremely chewy, dense, gooey, has peanut butter undertones, and is topped with semi-sweet chocolate and sprinkles. Special K bars are just like scotcheroos, but made with Special K rather than Rice Krispies cereal. If you’re a fan of any bar-type snack/dessert resembling Rice Krispies Treats, I have a feeling you will love these. There’s no marshmallow in the recipe, but the gooeyness of the brown sugar-butter-peanut butter sauce that’s poured over the Special K is similar in a way....

You can serve wedge salads as a side with just about any meal, like Braised short Ribs, Penne alla Vodka, or Chicken Piccata. Whenever I’m ordering a side salad from a restaurant I always scan the menu for a wedge salad; they’re my favorite! Kind of ironic considering they are probably the cheapest, simplest thing on the menu, but, for some reason they seem “fancy” to me and I love seeing how they’re presented (plus, they’re DELICIOUS!...

What Is Hummingbird Cake? The first recorded hummingbird cake recipe was published in 1978 by Southern Living magazine and came from North Carolina. It’s a soft, banana and pineapple-laden cake with a healthy dose of tangy cream cheese frosting and a sprinkling of pecan halves. This is an extremely moist cake thanks to the can of crushed pineapple with the juice included and from four ripe bananas. If you like banana bread, you will love this coconut and pineapple hummingbird cake....
