If you like it hot, these Chicken and Chorizo Enchiladas are for you! Spicy, delicious, and smothered with the creamiest Chipotle Crema Sauce. They will knock your socks off! It’s Hispanic Heritage Month! Despite popular assumption, we Brazilians do not identify as Hispanic, as we were colonized by Portugal and not Spain. But that doesn’t mean I’m not happy to celebrate this wonderful culture! I love all my Hispanic friends – Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, you name it....
Goulash has so many variations that the lines that distinguish one kind from another are often blurred. American goulash is heavy on tomatoes and often uses ground beef. German goulash, on the other hand, is predominantly all about big chunks of meat, cut about 1 ½ inches big, and uses just a little bit of tomatoes in the form of tomato paste. A typical German goulash uses roughly a one to one ratio of beef and chopped onions....

If you’re like me, the best part of Sunday football is the food. From delicious appetizers to sweet treats, I’m all about the snacks. And how can you have game day without chicken wings? This is my favorite wings recipe. They have all the flavor of traditional wings but whip up in a snap in the Crockpot. Cheer your team on to a victory over a platter of these irresistible buffalo wings....
I recently added a recipe for Air Fryer Roasted Almonds to the blog that people went nuts for (pun intended). Since not everyone has an air fryer, I thought I’d better hurry up and add an oven roasted almonds recipe on here too. I must admit I always used to buy roasted almonds from the supermarket but after making my own I realised just how much better they are fresh!...
Air Fryer Chicken Thighs, wings, and chicken breasts are some of my favorite recipes to make in the air fryer. You’ll love the flavors and the crispy skin and won’t believe these are cooked with hot air versus oil. It’s a delicious fried chicken recipe that’s made with just a little oil. I love my air fryer and use it more than any other kitchen gadget. This simple recipe is one of my family’s favorites and it’s done in half the time it would take to deep fry....

One of my favorite things about the holidays is the low carb desserts! So many of my faves are made with almond flour, but many people with nut allergies ask me for alternatives. So, I created a keto coconut macaroons recipe to change that up! And when I served these gluten-free coconut macaroons for friends, they didn’t believe me that they are low carb. These are a keeper! In fact, these just might be the best coconut macaroons recipe ever....
I’ve already been through a whole post of fantastic toast recipes, but I felt like this one deserved one of its own. I mean, just look how cute those little eggs are!

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to finally get my hands on some fresh figs! I’ve been obsessed with making this pasta dish ever since my mom made it for us, in Brazil, when we were visiting during the holidays. As soon as the weather began getting warmer, I started to look for figs, because I read somewhere that they have a short season in early summer and a main season from late summer until fall....
Everybody loves a good dessert tart! But what about savory tarts? While quiches are constantly being devoured world wide, I feel like the other savory tarts are not getting the spotlight they deserve. Take this French Leek Tart, for example, hereby called by its French name Flamiche aux Poireaux because I like to be fancy. How could anyone resist a flaky buttery crust filled with an out of this world mixture of bacon, leeks, shallots, cream and cheese?...
Do your weekdays ever feel like a countdown? Some mornings, it’s as if my alarm is chirping, “Five days until Friday night!” “Four days left!” “Only three days to go!” It’s a mentality I’m trying to shake. Why spend nearly a week of potential living wishing it was a different day? Since I can’t make every day Saturday, I’ve found that squeezing in simple but scrumptious meals, like this butter garlic salmon, Honey Garlic Salmon, or other 30-minute meals work magic on my weekday mood....
Fresh corn is one of the first items that sells out at our local farmers market and for excellent reason: grilled corn tastes amazing. (Just check out the reviews on this Grilled Corn Salad.) In an act of culinary wizardry, the grill transforms a vegetable that can easily taste rather meh into a capsule of pure summer bliss. Grilled corn is representative of the most enjoyable aspects of cooking this time of year....
Golden and crisp outside and creamy inside, these potatoes take everything there is to love about a piping hot pan of Oven Roasted Potatoes, then add the smokiness of the grill. In other words, they taste amazing. Plus, we get to cook them outside, and in the summer food cooked outside just tastes better than food cooked inside. Grilled Corn and Grilled Eggplant agree. Don’t you? If you don’t have a grill, do not fret....
