Kale and Cannellini Bean Crostini

I don’t know about you, but I’m an appetizer gal. Ordering appetizers at a restaurant isn’t an option, it’s mandatory, and having some kind of crudités or cheese plate out at a party is a must. Call it an excuse to bring out my favorite serving trays or just another way to sample as many tasty bites […]

Mexican

Chicken Tequila Taquitos

When in Austin, do as the Austinites do… which means eating a ridiculous amount of Mexican food and not feeling the slightest bit bad about it. I make tacos, fajitas, tortilla soup, and guacamole on the regular, but taquitos had always been more of a restaurant-only thing because I’m not really into deep-frying at home or […]

Cocktails

Sangrita & Tequila Sippers

And while I love the cakes and cookies that cooler weather brings, with the change of […]

Mexican Street Corn Salad

Happy Monday! We’re kicking off the week with a, well, major kick. Do y’all remember my Mexican Street Corn that I posted a couple years back? It’s a classic at our house every summer, and to me, the recipe is perfection. With one caveat, that is: everyone ends up with aioli on their fingers and corn in their teeth […]

Zucchini Noodle Pesto Pasta (video!)

Have you guys experimented with zucchini noodles yet? If not, I highly recommend investing in a spiralizer to make the most delicious, guilt-free “pasta” dishes — and as the video above demonstrates, dinner comes together quicker than you can say “zoodle.” While zucchini will never truly be pasta, this zucchini noodle pesto pasta will still […]
