Mother’s Day- Little Gem & Herb Fries

May
8
One of my favorite lunches with my mom and sisters is a simple salad and French fries. Ordering a salad as a main takes the guilt out of devouring a platter of fries, lol. These herb fries turn out perfect every time. The two step cooking process ensures the inside is cooked to perfection while getting that perfect crunch on the outside. I'm topping them with lemon parsley salt and serving them with a super fresh little gem … keep reading darling...

Chilaquiles

Apr
25
Chilaquiles are one of my favorite brunch dishes. It's basically a big skillet of breakfast nachos. I'm using some of the left over barbacoa meat from the Mexican Street Tacos and the Barbacoa Enchilada Sauce to take this dish to the next level. I also fried some flour tortillas for the perfect homemade chips. I just top everything with fried eggs, avocado, some queso fresco and serve it right out of the skillet. Chila… keep reading darling...

Roasted Cherry Tomato & Pesto Bake

Mar

This is a perfect quick dinner idea using mostly pantry staples. The pesto can be made ahead and frozen, and the roasted cherry tomatoes are absolutely delicious. I also love this recipe because you can prep it early and finish baking it off when you are ready for dinner. You can also easily make this vegan. I would just swap the Parmesan cheese on top for some Panko breadcrumbs and you can just completely omit the Parmesan… keep reading darling...
