It’s no secret that we love grilled cheese here at our house. But, I never make straight up grilled cheese with American cheese on white bread. Ever. I always mix it up with different breads, usually something really grainy with great texture, various cheeses, and other yummy fillings. This time, I went a pretty hearty […]
A cheesy, gooey dip with a crispy, buttery crust that tastes like a jalapeño popper? Yes please! I made this for a holiday party, and everyone loved it! Not only is it delicious, but you can make it as spicy as you want by adjusting the amount of jalapeño you use. I used four jalapeños, and […]
I first posted this recipe several months back, and it has been one of my more popular recipes. It’s for good reason – this is a dish that is really easy to throw together and is mouth-wateringly delicious. With the holidays coming up, I thought I’d repost it because it would be perfect if you […]
Actually, it’s National Spicy Guacamole Day, if you want to be technical, but…meh. I love guacamole, so I am excited to celebrate this food holiday! I already have other plans for dinner, but since I eat Mexican food at least once a week, I’ll surely make up for it soon! To help you celebrate such […]
If you love Mexican food like I do, then maybe you’ve tried before to replicate the delicious white queso dip found in Mexican restaurants. I don’t know about you, but I could eat that stuff by the vat. But that’s besides the point. If you’ve tried to make it at home, then you know it […]
I fully intended to make a Mexican dish this week to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and it just didn’t happen. I hope you can forgive me, but coming on the heels of my National Grilled Cheese Month transgressions, I know it will be hard. I have actually been very busy baking, so I hope you’re prepared […]
I feel like I owe you all an apology because I have known for weeks that April is National Grilled Cheese month, and here it is April 24th and I’m just now posting a grilled cheese recipe. This is a travesty, especially considering how much I love grilled cheese. Well, I hope you have been […]
Everyone has those recipes that are great for potlucks, and you use them time and time again. This is that recipe for me, and every time I take it somewhere new, people ask for the recipe. I mean, who doesn’t love cheesy potatoes? This recipe has an added bonus in that you put everything in […]
Ah, that’s a cheeky little blog name, now isn’t it? I amuse myself sometimes. What is frico? If you don’t know, I’m very sorry. Because it is something everyone should know about. Frico is what results when you bake parmesan cheese (real parmesan cheese, not the powder stuff) into insanely good crisps. You know when […]
Garlic. Cheddar. Smashed Potatoes. Everything about that sounds delicious, right? I know, I love garlic and cheddar cheese too! Smashed potatoes are a really easy side dish that I’ve made over and over again, and honestly, I probably haven’t made them the same way twice. I threw together these easy redskin smashed potatoes with garlic […]
