Chicken and Waffle Sushi
On Saturday mornings revolves around one critical decision - waffles or pancakes?! It’s a tough call - pancakes are fluffy and delicious, while waffles have the most perfect little square crevices to store your syrup. But since it's National Waffle Day (and yes, there is totes such a thing), I decided to celebrate my love for waffles and give it a twist with a southern classic - chicken and waffles. If you’re not familiar with chicken and... Read More
All Fantasy, No Football: Week 8
Beer me that remote! As promised last week, I made an effort to "enjoy" the games. You know what? I totally did! The Seattle vs. Washington game was a killer! Whoever that player was on the Redskins that was trying to get into a fight with someone on the Seahawks, I would like to give him my number. Holla atta lady! One thing that has become obvious is that beer and football are soul mates. They are the type of couple that eat dinner at a res... Read More

Chicken Taco Mini Pizzas
Grilled mini pizza apps with chicken taco flave...super yum! This appetizer marries several of my favorite things: tacos, grill, minis, and of course, all things pizza. Pizza on the grill in particular – that little bit of char and the extra crisp the grill gives the crust drives me wild. I do one thing a little differently when making mini pizzas on the grill. With a regular sized pizza, I just put the pizza dough on the grill, flipping it... Read More
Spice it Up: Buffalo Chicken Bites
Spice up your next gathering with some blue-cheese-stuffed buffalo chicken bites. These blue-cheese-stuffed buffalo chicken bites are as tasty as restaurant-style wings, but can be eaten in the comfort of your own home. And without the pesky bones, I’d choose them over traditional wings any day. Buffalo chicken wings are traditionally a game-day food. But whether it’s March Madness or the season finale of “The Bachelor” that has you g... Read More
Game Day: Mini Savory Sammies
The last thing any cook wants to be during their Game Day party is chained to the stove. You need something that can be made ahead and served cold, like... sandwiches. But they need variety (you've got both bulky linemen and svelte kickers coming to your party... and these days, at least one of the players will be a vegetarian), and they need to be easy! The trick to making enough “sammies” to keep your game-day crowd satisfied, witho... Read More

Grilling tips for making the best chicken ever! I'm not sure when or why knowing how to grill chicken became a prerequisite for enjoying a high-quality life, but it is. You can either fight it or learn. I suggest the latter. I'll even provide a few tips to get you started. The key to grilling chicken like a pro is to get chicken that a pro would be willing to grill. Most barbecuers are afraid to get the good stuff—and by good stuff, I mean... Read More
Chicken in a Basket
While appetizers can be all cute and dainty, some times I like serving one that has a little umph! One of my favorite party staples is a buffalo chicken dip recipe. Served with a chicken-flavored cracker, it’s one that I never see leftover at the end of the night. But I always hated the way people had to awkwardly balance their plates and cups while trying to scoop a little deliciousness into their mouths. Then it hit me! Put the dip in a past... Read More
Chicken Orzo Pasta Salad
Whenever I'm in a pinch for my "bring" to a barbecue, this Chicken Orzo Pasta Salad always saves the day. Summer is awesome (I know, "duh"). I am fully lovin' the sun, my friends and the weekly barbecues. However, the weeks get so busy that, without fail, I find myself a few hours before heading to a grill out totally empty handed and freaking the frack out. So when I need something that's quick, delicious and sure to rock the "cue", I whip up... Read More
