Homemade Caesar Dressing One of my 'Guilty Pleasures' and I'm using quotations on purpose is Caesar salad. The quotations is because it's a salad but delve deeper and you know what I'm saying is true. Enter the mayonnaise based dressing; the foundation for the cheese and bacon. I'd say I'm sorry or ashamed but I'm NOT! I love you Caesar salad ...

Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein
Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein I broke the news to Mike that I wanted us to eat more vegetarian meals. His face dropped like a sack of potatoes. He consoled himself with BBQ chicken on the side of this Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein... I skipped the chicken. Here I've added a little heat, more than I usually do but it makes all vegetable, ie, no ...

Pork Stir Fry
Pork Stir Fry For the last few months I've been eating more pork than chicken, you know, the other white meat?!? And you know what???? I've lost weight!

Chipotle Mayonnaise
Chipotle Mayonnaise I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there’s no way to compare store-bought mayonnaise to homemade. This mayo is light and creamy and has the smokiness and heat from the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. This recipe calls for 2 chipotle peppers and 2 tablespoons of the adobo sauce, feel free to reduce the amount if you ...
Jalapeno Mayonnaise

With that said you must be careful when working with raw eggs but I am A-Okay with the risks because this mayonnaise is that good! Makes about 1 ½ Cups 1 Large egg at ...
Tangy Coleslaw
Tangy Coleslaw I’ve mentioned before that I love coleslaw; I love coleslaw! This is the recipe I referenced in my Summer Sliders recipe; it’s amazing what a good coleslaw can do for a burger. In case you need a little incentive to try a healthy coleslaw, red cabbage is high in vitamin C and K, it helps maintain eye health and is linked to ...
Soft and Chewy Dinner Rolls
Soft and Chewy Dinner Rolls I’m lazy. I admit it. I made chili for dinner and instead of going to the store in the rain with a fussy 20 month old and a cranky 3-year-old boy who wears size 5 to buy dinner bread, I made dinner rolls. I will say this though; I’m inspired. These delicious rolls have inspired a plethora of slider recipes, stay tuned ...
