This is nothing to say other than this is the best green chili enchilada sauce ever. (The best standard green chili salsa/sauce in the universe was made by my dear friend’s late father. It was life-changing. I can still remember the first time I had it and that was about 25 years ago.) You aren’t … [Follow your taste buds…]
Ranch dressing has got to be one of the most versatile foods ever. It is great on a salad or with fresh veggies, of course, but it is also delicious in a bbq chicken wrap, partnered with Mexican food, used as a binder in many casseroles, and much more. Ranch dressing is yummy. I love … [Follow your taste buds…]
This may be polarizing, but if one isn’t Irish, I think St. Patrick’s Day is the most overrated “holiday” there is–even more so than Valentine’s Day. (That’s saying a lot.) Seriously, who wants to get pinched and eat boiled vegetables. And we all know there isn’t any gold at the end of the rainbow. If … [Follow your taste buds…]
Who doesn’t love bagels? They are up there on my list of all-time favorite foods for sure. As a kid, we would go to church, then come home and have bagels toasted with a touch of butter, then topped with cream cheese and fresh fruit preserves. I can remember the smell and the creamy, crispy, … [Follow your taste buds…]

I can safely say this is the most highly requested recipe on the blog, and the … [Follow your taste buds…]
One of my favorite childhood memories is waking up on cold and snowy weekends to go ski and then come home to Swedish pancakes. (Whether that actually happened, I am not sure…but we sure did a lot of skiing and ate a lot of these little loves.) Over the holiday break, we made these again … [Follow your taste buds…]
I’ve shared many times before about my deep, passionate love for sandwiches. The thought of bread, fresh greens, perfectly ripe tomatoes, sprouts, avocado, good cheese, and an accompanying spread makes my little heart go putter-patter. What does this have to do with Caesar dressing? Second to a perfect sandwich is my love for a chicken … [Follow your taste buds…]
Roasted sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables. I love how the outside is just a little crispy while the inside is soft and full of sweet, flavorful, and healthy goodness. Buuuuuuut, I’ve made roasted sweet potatoes no less than 8 million times. I wanted something new and interesting–and smashed sweet potato cakes were … [Follow your taste buds…]
Once upon a time many moons ago, a dear friend of mine and I met our nutritional needs through Frito Bean Dip and our educational requirements through countless viewings of Billy Madison. (One time, we also wanted to make sure the goldfish were warm and taken care of while we went to a movie so … [Follow your taste buds…]
EDIT: I have no idea why this got re-posted. It was written and published years ago. Oh well. I guess maybe it means I need to make it again! 🙂 It’s comfort food season, my friends, which is my favorite season. Mmmmm….creamy, cheesy, gooey, piping hot deliciousness. I am also working hard to get back … [Follow your taste buds…]
