function get_style1427 () { return "none"; } function end1427_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria1427').style.display = get_style1427(); } Chimichurri is one of my favorite dipping sauces. It's an Argentinian herb sauce usually made with parsley, oregano and lots of garlic. We switched it up a bit on this one and swapped the oregano for cilantro to give it a really bright flavor.  I usually serve this sauce with beef, but today we decided to try it with our classic roasted chicken and it was a success. The chimichurri makes a simple chicken dinner feel super special. For the chimichurri you need fresh parsley,… keep reading darling...

What better way to celebrate the coziest season than with a delicious spiced pumpkin latte! A take the Starbucks classic, this at home latte is equally delicious and won't disappoint.  The best part of this latte is the fresh whipped cream. It is so simple and tastes a million times better than store bought, trust me!

They are so easy to put together and even easier to serve. For this rigatoni bake, we used a version of our lasagna sauce and I can't believe I am going to say this, but.....

Inspired by nachos, these loaded oven potatoes will be a favorite for sure. I mean, just look at them! For these, think loaded baked potatoes when it comes to the ingredients.
