These Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a twist on the famous PF Chang’s lettuce wraps. Use the filling in a lettuce wrap or a rice bowl — it’s great either way!

If you’ve been using the same old jar of pumpkin pie spice for years and years, it’s time to upgrade! Making your own is so easy, and I’m willing to bet you already have the ingredients in your cupboard.

If you have trouble finding garam masala in the grocery store it’s easy to make your own blend! I included directions for grinding whole spices or using pre-ground.

If you don’t know how to spatchcock a chicken (or turkey) it’s your lucky day. It’s easy to do and spatchcocking has SO many benefits! But I’m going to be honest. It isn’t for those who get the heebie jeebies while handling raw meat. And you may need earplugs. Just sayin’.

Smoked whole chicken has been my favorite thing to make in my pellet grill/smoker since we purchased it over the summer. If you have a smoker/grill combo like a Traeger or a CampChef (We got the CampChef!) then you’ve GOT to try this recipe. (By the way, this post isn’t sponsored, but if you’re looking …

I’m excited to start organizing my recipes into little collections like this! We’re starting with the best Brussels sprout recipes on my site. Did you know it’s actually Brussels sprouts and not brussel sprouts? Yep. Brussels as in the capital of Belgium. And it’s capitalized. I’m a big fan of Brussels sprouts, so I’m on …

This homemade BBQ sauce is my all-time favorite BBQ sauce. Honestly. It has a balsamic vinegar base and it’s super tangy with just the right amount of sweetness from honey. It’s dark and rich and it makes me so happy. I’ve been making this sauce for years. It was originally part of my Easy Grilled …

Up until a few years ago I thought making clam chowder would be a pain. I never ate it unless I was in a restaurant. (Mmm. Chowder on both coasts is pretty fabulous.) When I watched my grandma make it I realized how easy it was to make homemade clam chowder. I like my grandma’s …

Friends. This Lentil Curry might be the only lentil recipe on my site. Wait, let me check… Yep. It is. I was never a huge fan of lentils until I had lentil curry once. There was something about that cozy, porridge-like texture that screamed comfort food for me. Not all lentils end up with that …

We eat a lot of cabbage slaw around here. Mostly the Southwest Cabbage Slaw that I posted years ago. (It’s still a family favorite!) I wanted to create another slaw that had a creamy dressing, but not heavy like a coleslaw. This one is DELICIOUS. I’ll show you how to make it (hint: dump and …

Do you like a good fish fry? And by fish fry, I mean shrimp, too. And some fries and some kind of dipping sauce. And those pickled red onions. All of it. This particular meal was inspired by our trip to Aruba last June. I was hoping to find something uniquely “Aruban”, but honestly, it’s …

If you’ve ever had a pickled red onions on a taco or a deli sandwich it’s a game changer, right? What if I told you you could keep a stash of those delicious briny morsels in your fridge all the time? And that they’re ridiculously easy to make? I fell in love with these years …

Is it just me or are cobblers kind of ugly? This berry cobbler is no exception. (Honestly, coconut sugar is partly to blame. It makes the topping darker and sort of dirty looking.) Luckily some really ugly dishes are actually REALLY tasty. And that’s the most important part, right? Let’s chat about how easy this …

If you haven’t used an Instant Pot to make potato salad, you’re in for a treat. My mom’s best friend made the BEST potato salad. And as far as I knew, she eyeballed everything without a recipe. It was infinitely better than store-bought potato salad which is often weirdly sweet and lacking salt. And boring. …

Have you ever had cilantro pesto? It’s a cilantro-packed version of traditional basil pesto with a few twists. Honestly, I like it better than basil pesto. It’s tied with Dill Pesto for me — try that one out, too! If you’ve ever had chimichurri, it’s similar. Chimichurri is traditionally made with parsley, but I like …

Have you ever had those 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies? They were super popular online a while back. I used that dough concept and made some Flourless Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars! I mean, you can’t go wrong with PB&J. Did you know I didn’t like PB&J until I was an adult? Until about… 5 years …

Pineapple smoothie + basil? What? Hear me out. Occasionally people ask me where I come up with ideas for recipes. Lots of places! But, my favorite source of inspiration is travel. Hands down. Steve and I took a couples trip to Mexico and the food was SO good. And inexpensive — I mean $6 for …

Egg Roll in a Bowl has become pretty popular lately! I’ve been making these for a few years, but for some reason never posted it. My kids LOVE these bowls. They’re on our family’s “favorite dinner list” — a very exclusive list of only unanimously voted recipes that we all love. I always hear “YAY!” …

We bought a pellet grill/smoker (from Camp Chef) and I’m beyond excited to start playing with …

After I posted The Best Chicken Fajitas (they really are), I tried that same marinade with some steak fajitas. You know what? It wasn’t as good with steak. Beef has a stronger flavor and needed a deeper, smokier sort of flavor. So, I got to work and created the best steak fajitas I’ve ever made! …
