Super Bowl Sunday just wouldn’t be the same without Buffalo Chicken Wings. This is my favorite way to prepare them because it requires no frying and they taste delicious. I like to broil the wings for just a minute after coating them with the sauce.
There is no better snack than a plateful of fresh vegetables and a tasty dip. Whether it's for game day, for your kids when they come home from school...
This is one my new favorite recipes! It is the ultimate comfort food and just bursting with flavor. If you can’t find fresh chorizo, use a dried chorizo. Just don’t sauté it...
If you've got some leftover chicken in the refrigerator, this quick and easy recipe is a great way to turn it into a whole new meal. If you don't have leftovers, you can either poach some, buy a rotisserie chicken.
January is definitely a month for comfort food recipes, and this one is delicious. Braising in red wine is one of my favorite ways to prepare pot roast. It allows the meat to become very tender while the herbs and wine create a fantastic sauce to serve over it.
I don’t do the dry-aging process when I make this recipe, but I’m including the instructions for anyone who is interested because I'm sure it would make the dish even more amazing than it already is. The crust that the garlic, mustard, thyme and salt make is unlike anything I’ve ever had before.
