Cheddar-Apple Tarts with Pepper Maple Syrup

Cheddar-Apple Tarts with Pepper Maple Syrup

I’m not totally sold yet on using cheddar cheese in apple pie, but these tarts may be the gateway. They are golden, cheesy, sweet goodness. The sharp cheddar, shallot, and apple combination is SO good. The sage along with the pepper maple syrup only enhance 

Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesadillas

Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesadillas

I think we can all agree that ranch is superior to blue cheese dressing. No? It’s okay to still love these quesadillas! It’s your favorite sandwich but better. Perfectly flavored chicken and bacon smothered in melted cheese and pico all nestled in a warm tortilla. 

Pad See Ew

Pad See Ew

I’ve been wanting to use fresh rice rolls for a while now and pad see ew has always been a personal favorite. Everything tasted great in the end but in the spirit of honesty, I could not get the noodles to stop sticking together… I 

French Onion Flatbread

French Onion Flatbread

This recipe is not for the faint of heart (spoiler: the onions take 3 hours), but every minute spent caramelizing the onions is so worth it in the end and you only have to check on them every 30 minutes. More than enough time to 

Boozy Upside Down Peach Cake

Boozy Upside Down Peach Cake

I’m not quite ready to move into fall flavors yet and I needed a way to use up the peaches in my fridge… so this cake was born! I love upside down cakes because they 1) don’t need any icing to look great and 2) 

Spicy BBQ Chicken Melts

Spicy BBQ Chicken Melts

This recipe is almost embarrassingly easy, but it does not compromise on flavors. I think making your own BBQ sauce is worth the extra effort (recipe linked below) and really makes the dish something. But, I would still be more than glad to eat these 

Tomato Pie

Tomato Pie

Most of the time I just want to eat spinach-artichoke dip by the forkful, so I subbed out the spinach and artichoke for onions and bacon. I threw it in a pie crust and topped it with tomatoes so that I could indeed eat it 

Alfredo White Pizza

Alfredo White Pizza

I had a feeling that a pizza covered in a creamy, cheesy sauce and then topped with more cheese couldn’t be anything less than great. This was my first time cooking on a pizza stone and the extra crisp it gave the crust really complemented 

Broccoli-Potato Salad

Broccoli-Potato Salad

I have nightmares of the potato salad where you can’t tell where one potato chunk ends, and another one begins topped with some globs of miracle whip and celery. I was on a mission to have a better potato salad so I fried up some 

Chocolate Chip Cookie S’mores Bar

Chocolate Chip Cookie S’mores Bar

Here’s the thing, I think fire is the most exciting part of s’mores. I like them, but they just aren’t anything that special to me. Once I put s’mores on top of chocolate chip cookies, the whole game changed. These bars are chewy, gooey, and
