Pasta salads can be served as a main dish with a side of grilled corn on the cob and fresh fruit, or as side dish served with something off the grill, like my favorite Marinated Chicken. If you’re looking for a super fast and easy summer side dish that’s packed with flavor, this one is for you! I love adding homemade basil pesto to this recipe but it’s delicious with a high quality store-bought pesto too, and you can add the pesto straight from the jar....

I’ve been very good this year. I’ve gone to the gym at least once a month. I’ve made lots of tasty things to share with family and friends eat. I’ve taught 24 nine-year-olds how to multiply double digits, even with distractions like silly bands, nose picking, and shredded pink erasers. I watched all the best 90’s Christmas movies. Best of all, I’ve only spent about $900 at Target on unnecessary Christmas decor....

Okay though, back up the train. It’s time to tell the truth about these deliciously in-your-face pour shots. And I’m talking about the messy, badly aimed, missed the bowl and dumped sauce all over the table truth. Yes – you suspected and I can confirm. For every one amazing, in-focus, clean pour shot you see here on Pinch of Yum, you can just imagine (but don’t) the 800 NOT amazing pour shots it took to get there....

comment icon 73 more comments So maybe I went ahead and jumped a little too fast on summer. April? I could have sworn it was, like, July or something. After a stretch of 70 degree sunny days here in Minnesota, reality came crashing in on us and right now I am literally writing this post about Frosted Blueberry Lemonade (summer! WANT SO BAD) with doors and windows tightly closed to keep out the 35 degree sleet....

comment icon 97 more comments His name is Tyler. Our visit to his farm revealed a few things: That’s right. Farmer T cooks. And when Farmer T cooks, he doesn’t forget dessert. I would go so far as to say that they were the best s’mores bars I’ve ever had, ever, and I don’t take that statement lightly. That’s why I made them myself within 24 hours of returning home, shortly after showering off farm smells and downloading 1,000 pictures of the piglets onto my computer....

Chocolate Caramels Recipe If you’ve ever wanted to combine everything you love about sweet, soft and chewy caramels with the flavors of rich chocolate, this is the recipe for you. Chocolate caramels are truly the best of both worlds because they have the texture and consistency of homemade caramels, but with the perfect amount of cocoa to satisfy your chocolate craving. And for me because I am a huge fan of sweet-and-salty desserts dessert, the sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top is the best....

comment icon 70 more comments This salad is my life right now. The textures, the flavors, and the perfect amount of light, sweet honey lemon vinaigrette… Sigh. One thing that we struggle with here in the Philippines is cooking. Hot, heated, high temperature cooking. Our oven has a flame in it. A real live fire. IT’S HOT. Plus it’s already one bajillion degrees and one hundred and fifty percent humid all day everyday, so that’s fun....

I had been dipping veggies into it, making cream cheese dips with it, using it in conjunction with salad dressings to give my salads a blast of heat and extra flavor. You name it, things were hot pepper jelly-licious around here. And then as quickly as it came into the stores, hot pepper jelly vanished from the stores. Sort of like Cookie Butter. Sniff. And so I did something I never thought I was going to do in my whole life: I canned....

If you’re a follower of TBFS you may already know that I’m a crazy huge fan of Mexican food. I have soooo many delicious Mexican recipes on my site–probably more than any other type of cuisine–because I LOVE it! My husband and I lived in Puebla, Mexico for a few months when we were first married. I learned to make several authentic recipes while we lived there, but this Authentic Mexican rice is the one I use the very most....

I was recently chatting with a coworker who breeds koi fish. She told me that koi fish can live for over 200 years! I was in shock. Yes, they can live for centuries with common life expectancies being in the 25-30 year range. That’s a far cry from any of the fish I had growing up in which a “long life” was anything more than a month before they were flushed down the toilet had a burial at sea....

comment icon 4 more comments Except we actually ate them on Saturday. I was not about to get up early enough on a Monday morning to make lemon pancakes and blackberry syrup from scratch. Even on our anniversary. I think I’m still recovering from last Friday’s Track and Field Day. Confession. If I would have gotten up 15 minutes earlier, I would have had plenty of time to pull these together....
