Spring has asparagus, peas, and all things pastel. Summer has peaches, cherries, and all things outdoor…like grilling, pool parties, and family gatherings. This week we will be celebrating all things cherry, because it sounded like a fun thing to do and I could not decide which recipe I wanted to make featuring cherries. A big thank you to all of you on Facebook that voted!! This Cherry Bourbon Barbecue Sauce was a runner up……..
Sauce
Kale Pesto
Are you over caffeinated yet? Today we are going to take a break from all of my crazy espresso based recipes and try something healthy. The fact that it is January, and the official start to everyone’s diet did not escape me…I just wasn’t ready. You know me, I have to do things at my own pace……..
Classic Marinara Sauce
Italian food has become a huge part of the American culture. Lasagna, Spaghetti, and Chicken Parmesan have become family favorites, and all start with a Classic Marinara Sauce. We all know that with a good sauce as your base, the possibilities are endless! Today we are making this traditional sauce with canned tomatoes and dried herbs that are simmered to perfection……..
Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing
It is officially Spring, at least according to my calender. The hail and ice that fell over the past 2 days makes it feel more like Winter! Spring means something different to everyone. To me, it means Green {and allergies, and thunderstorms, tornadoes}. The green grass, deciduous trees, and leafy herbs start popping up all over. What do you do with all of those leafy herbs? You use them silly……..
Bacon Ranch Dressing
I honestly believe that Ranch Dressing is one of the greatest things ever invented!! It is the perfect dressing to drizzle over salads, and makes an amazing sauce for dunking Chicken Tenders into. Well I have gone and taken this wonderful condiment and made it even better…..I added Bacon!! That’s right, Bacon Ranch Dressing with all natural ingredients……..
Basil Pesto
I am on a bit of a Basil Pesto kick right now! If you are following me on instagram, which you should, you have probably seen the “Greens Pizza” from the Lincoln winebar that I am obsessed with. Well I have been trying to recreate that pizza at home…..all week long! I am getting closer, but the crust is still not quite right……..
Homemade Pizza Sauce
Pizza is one of my absolute favorite food groups, and yet I don’t usually make Homemade Pizza Sauce…until now! I finally have a sauce that is perfect, and actually better than the Dei Fratelli sauce that I normally buy. I can add as much garlic as I want, or switch out fresh and dried herbs. The possibilities are endless……..
Bourbon and Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce
You already know how much I love barbecue…..anything, but this Bourbon and Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce takes barbecue ribs to a whole new level! It’s sweet, and tangy with an occasional kick that kind of sneaks up on you. I was careful to not let the bourbon overpower the sauce. It is there, but not in your face like the (Jack Daniels) Whiskey Glaze that I made last year….
