No matter who you’re rooting for, chili is a classic go-to for the big game. I know that’s what we’re having at our house! You can make a big pot to feed a crowd, and it’s totally low maintenance. Once you make it, just leave it on the stove or even in a crock pot […]
Jalapeño
Turkey Bacon Chili
This winter I have been obsessed with chili. So much so, in fact, that I requested it as my birthday meal from Tim. There are about as many ways to make chili as there are people out there who eat chili. I don’t think I’ve ever made it the same way twice. This year, I’ve […]
Blackberry Jalapeño Pork Loin
If I watch TV, the majority of the time, it’s a food show. I pick up a lot of food knowledge, techniques, and other tidbits. It’s not as often as you’d think that I see a recipe I feel compelled to make. However, when I saw Guy Fieri make this Raspberry Jalapeño Pork Loin on the Rachael […]

Recipe for a Delicious Summer
I love a fat, juicy, grilled burger once in a while. I wish I could take credit for this, but someone (else) in a stroke of genius came up with the idea of combining a jalapeno popper and a burger. You basically take a hamburger patty, top it with a cream cheese, roasted jalapeno, bacon […]
Rice with an Attitude
The other day, I planned to make Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa. I asked Tim what he wanted to go with it, and he said rice. I didn’t want to use a preflavored box of rice because it’s so easy to make your own, and that way you can control the ingredients and flavor, so […]
Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m obsessed with recipes. I’m always discovering new recipes I want to try, either on Rachael Ray or some other show, they show up in my inbox, I read them in a magazine, etc. Then I save them in various places – on Pinterest, save them in a […]
