If you love Ribs year round like we do…have I got a recipe for you! Seriously some of the BEST ribs that have ever passed by my lips. I can’t take credit for the recipe. This recipe hails from Jen over at Carlsbad Cravings…one of my favorite food bloggers. I’m not sure I would have thought to combine honey buffalo sauce with ribs…so I’m glad I stumbled onto her delightful combination. I made a few adjustments to suit our tastes…but I give all the credit to Jen for these babies! You’re gonna want these in your life!
Whats Cooking
I know I keep raving about Fall! I can’t help myself. I don’t know if it’s the anticipation of getting together with family and friends for the Holidays, the Holiday baking, or if it’s everything that goes with the season. Football, Falling Leaves, Pumpkin patches, and Apples. That’s right… Fall means Apple Season! I love Apple Pie, Caramel Apples, and this wonderful Apple Cobbler! It’s simply the BEST! Kinda like this time of year.
There are few comfort foods that touch the soul and remind you of childhood like Chicken Noodle Soup! I’m talking about a thick hearty chicken noodle soup like Grandma used to make. Where the smell of it cooking wafts through the house and wraps around you like a warm blanket on a cold winters day. THIS is THAT soup!
Hawaiian Haystacks have always been a favorite at this Nest. However, the other day I was craving Mexican and got to thinking…What if you changed out the steamed rice for Spanish rice…and involved salsa and avocados! Sounded like a FANTASTIC idea to me…and it was!!!
One of my favorite side dishes when having Mexican Food is the rice! I love a good Spanish rice. Especially if it is packed with the warm flavors and spices of true Mexican food. A few years ago I came up with this home style version that is so easy and so flavorful! So much better than what you find at your local restaurant. I bet you have the secret ingredient in your cupboard right now!
Any breakfast lovers out there? They say it’s the most important meal of the day…”They” haven’t met dessert! However, this stuffed Breakfast Calzone may prove them right! Refrigerator pizza dough is stuffed full of everyone’s breakfast favorites. Best part? Totally customizable. If you don’t like my favorites…no problem…change it out for yours. I’m even sharing how you can make this ahead of time and serve it during the work week. So come join me for breakfast! (Don’t worry…there’s a cake on the counter too! lol)
I love the tastes and smells of Fall! This cake is one of my favorite annual traditions and it started years ago with one of my aprons. That’s right..my Apron! What? Doesn’t your Apron give you delicious cake recipes? Hmmm…maybe mine is magical? Okay it’s not really magical…but this recipe is!
This was the first dish I made on my new stove top range “Julia the Grate”! (Shout out to Southwest Appliance! Thank You my new baby!) This beautiful, colorful, flavorful Brooklyn Chicken Penne Pasta dish…is well… “Full” of everything you love about those fresh Italian dishes you find when dinning out…only YOU made it yourself! You’re just going to have to trust me that this is one MUST try recipe! Add it to your weekly meal plan menu today! It’s soooo, so, good!
One question I’m asked a LOT is “What do I serve with…..?” I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. What you pair your main dish with, can determine if it’s “o.k.”, or it’s a… “I’ll be dreaming about this dinner for years!” meal. (Okay… maybe they’ll just dream about it for a day or two, but you get my drift!) These perfectly glazed brown sugar and amaretto carrots go great with a Holiday Ham, Turkey, Prime Rib Roasts, or Pork Tenderloin. In other words…they go with just about any meaty main dish you make. Except Hot Dogs…I shouldn’t even have to say that, but you know who you are! lol
