Easy Chili Lime Chicken and Peppers with Ranch The flavors of this chicken dish always bring me back to time spent in Mexico over one of my daughter’s winter breaks. Bright, savory, and perfectly spiced, It’s an easy, 30-minute sheet pan meal. Even better, cleanup is as easy as tossing away the foil! It’s a lifesaver on busy nights. I coat the chicken with the new Hidden Valley® Simply Ranch Chili Lime Ranch....

If you’d like to make a more traditional version, try my traditional Chicken Tikka Masala. Why I love this meal: Quick – This simplified version for slow cooker chicken tikka masala takes only 5 minutes for prep. ! Delicious – The sauce has a rich, creamy, and mildly spicy tomato flavor. It is perfect served over rice, with a side of garlic naan. Crowd Pleaser – Everyone in my family cheers when this is for dinner!...

comment icon 77 more comments Yes, yes, and yes to all of three of these things right now: Socca SO CRISPYWhipped feta SO CREAMYTomato salad SUMMER DON’T LEAVE Let’s talk about Socca first. The origin of Socca is heavily debated between France and Italy (known as Farinata there) but one thing is certain: this simple street food made with only chickpea flour, olive oil, water, and salt is the crispy rich snacker of your dreams....

Chewy Brown Sugar Sugar Cookies No butter, no white sugar, no complaints. Just dark and rich cookies so soft that they bend rather than break. Growing up, I loved soft batch cookies. Although there was never a shortage of homemade cookies around, something about those uber-soft store-bought cookies, almost flexible and pliable they’re so soft, was something I’d pester my mom to buy. These brown sugar coconut oil cookies are my ode to Soft Batch cookies, using a more robust flavor palette....

Perfect Baked Spaghetti Pie // Sticky Spaghetti Pie with Marinara // Garlic Marinara Spaghetti Pie with Pan Sauteed Vegetables and Fresh Herbs. It’s a disease. MAKE IT STOP. We only need to call this what it is –> Spaghetti (delicious tasty can’t get enough I even like to eat it cold for breakfast) Pie....

comment icon 79 more comments LAY-ERSSSS. You can’t even make this stuff up. These boats consist of spaghetti squash (the stringy-in-a-good-way squash that looks suspiciously similar to spaghetti) tossed around with some sautéed garlic kale, ricotta, lemon juice, salt, and mozzarella, baked right back in its spaghetti squash shell and topped with a super quick-simmer spaghetti sauce with ground turkey, because sometimes we find these things in our freezer and we need to top them with melty cheese to bring them out into the light....

Super Cute Easter Bundt Cake If you are looking for a super festive Easter dessert, look no further than this cake. There are even “buried treasures” inside! This Easter egg cake is actually way easier than it looks — trust me! It starts off with two baking shortcuts, otherwise known as boxed cake mixes. The eggs, chicks, and bunnies from the first cake in a jelly roll pan are then cut out and put into the second cake before it’s baked....

After we left the Mexican Restaurant, we headed over to my favorite sushi restaurant in San Diego. Or really anywhere, actually. That’s with a big caveat though since I haven’t eaten sushi or been to Ono in about 5 years, since before being pregnant with Skylar actually, but back in the day, Scott and I used to rack up quite the sushi and bar tab. And we loved every second of it....

Easy Taco Spaghetti Recipe There are a couple time-honored family dinner recipes that almost everyone can agree upon. Spaghetti being one, and tacos being the other. In this super easy dinner recipe that’s ready in 30 minutes, I combined everyone’s love for spaghetti with Mexican-inspired taco ingredients and married the two! Tender spaghetti noodles are tossed in a creamy cheese sauce with seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, green chiles, black beans, and garnished with cilantro....

Three months ago Lindsay and I decided to experiment with making money from her blog. We thought it would be fun (and maybe helpful to others) to write a monthly post detailing the money we made from the blog and passing along any information we learned along the way. Here’s the update from October. The Breakdown: Foodie Blogroll – $39.48Bluehost – $65.00 Grand Total: $104.48. #1: Foodie Blogroll: $39.48 Foodieblogroll....

My San Diego neighborhood 15 minutes ago… They look like dried blueberries The irony of Roses + Beware of Dog just struck me It’s interesting that a psychic is ‘On Duty’. If you’re psychic like I am, you are never really ‘off duty’. Trust me. I wish I could go ‘off duty’. It would make life easier sometimes. Did someone say bottomless mimosas? Back in the day they would have lost money on me....

We met at our usual hangout and I chugged sipped 2 large coffees. And loved every second of it. And Skylar was having an exceptionally awesome day in the life of a not-quite-3-year-old. Meaning, she kept us entertained with make-believe food that she fed to us, intermixed with gnawing on wooden stir sticks (no slivers resulted, thankfully!), and Skylar’s great day allowed Madeline and I to gab and enjoy our little Birthday Edition of the Coffee Clutch....

This week’s highlights (and lowlights!) include: Naturally sweet desserts – and my mixed feelings on them.A big batch of granola that is giving me so much good snack-age.An accidentally terrible lunch. Just… it’s embarrassing.A new vegan pasta recipe that is my new BFF. Pre-Breakfast I woke up early with Solvi and was a) thirsty, and b) not thirsty for water. I know it’s super healthy to do the whole water / lemon / chug it down at 6am thing, but mornings are just not my favorite time to drink water....

Not too terribly much from what I can discern. Sugar cookies are only rolled in sugar whereas snickerdoodles are rolled in both cinnamon and sugar. There’s also some splitting hairs over the type of leavening agent used: baking powder or a combination of baking soda + cream of tartar. Some recipes call for shortening and butter rather than solely butter when making snickerdoodles. I did more research on the finer points of sugar cookies and snickerdoodle cookies than one should unless your name is Alton Brown....

Are you a pizza fanatic? So are we, so don’t miss our other pizza recipes including Veggie Pizza, and BBQ Chicken Pizza. If you’re not familiar with White pizza, it’s a pizza made without tomato or marinara sauce, and topped with white cheeses. It’s also called Pizza Bianca.

How to make White Pizza: Prebake pizza dough: Take pizza dough and stretch to desired size....

Yes, I’ve been baking peanut butter pies, yes, I’ve been going to bed early, and yes, I’ve been loving it. But there’s actually a good reason I took this week “off” from Pinch of Yum. It’s all in preparation for a change. An international change. A change that involves Bjork and I moving to the Philippines for a year. The one in Southeast Asia that’s made up of 7,000 islands....

Best Ever Lemon Brownie Recipe If you like lemon, you’re going to love these bars. They’re packed with bold lemon flavor and are not for the faint of heart. I’ve seen recipes on Pinterest for similar bars that are called lemon blondies, lemon brownies, or lemon lemonies. My fast, easy, no-mixer version is heavy on the lemon zing and lemonies seems the most fitting. If you’re looking for traditional lemon bars or a fluffy lemon cake, the lemonies are not it....
