Oh Em Gee, These Are Incredible!

I’m so excited about today’s recipe that I almost can’t sit still! I’m crazy about potatoes, any way you make’m, so I have collected a vast amount of potato recipes over the years. I didn’t think it was possible to top them – you see, I figured I had already found and perfected the best of the best recipes out there. It turns out I was wrong, and I’m actually really happy about that!

I came across this caramelized roasted potatoes recipe on Vegan Food Lover’s channel, and it is TO DIE FOR. Honestly, I could eat these potatoes seven days a week and twice on Sunday! Vegan Food Lover really has found a heavenly combination of ingredients for that marinade – and I didn’t even realize you could marinate potatoes!

I highly recommend checking out all of his recipes; that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days, and I’ve found quite a few favorites already. Let’s just say I’m going to pamper my family with these incredible dishes for the next couple of weeks, and you all should do the same!

Quick Tip: Even though these are basically a side dish, I wouldn’t mind having them as the main course, with some tasty dip!

Even The Picky Eaters Will Be Fighting Over The Last One!

When I was growing up, we never used to have hot and spicy food at home. I guess my parents were used to milder, traditional dishes and they weren’t big fans of spicy flavors. I never really thought I would like spicy food, either – my cousin made me try plain hot sauce when I was about 8 years old and I thought, that was it. I didn’t want to have anything to do with spicy flavors after that!

It wasn’t until I was about 20 when my boyfriend, now husband, lured me into having some spicy food. He was smart enough not to scare me with a bunch of extra hot chili – he just made me a dish he thought had a little bit of heat in it but not too much to make me cough.

Things have changed a lot since then! These days whenever we get takeout, I choose the spiciest option there is – and probably still drizzle some Sriracha on top of my serving at home. I’m always trying to find new dishes I could try; like these super delicious stuffed jalapenos from Hilah Cooking. These are amazing!

Here’s Your Quick Fix To Midweek Madness

Don’t you just love it when you suddenly come across a recipe that basically saves your life that day? It happened to me last week, when I was having one of the worst days ever. I was down with a horrible cold but I couldn’t just stay and rest, because I had to make a deadline and I wasn’t going to slip, unless I died and they didn’t have wi-fi in the grave.

Ok, maybe I was being a little over-dramatic there. But the point is, I was feeling miserable, I didn’t have any extra time, and I couldn’t even think of leaving my house and going to the store. If I had, I probably would have ended up being arrested. Trust me, I looked that bad.

Right then and there something magical happened. I was on Facebook (isn’t that what everyone does when they’re extremely busy with an insane schedule and no time to waste?) and someone had just shared this incredible recipe. With glazed eyes I wrote down the ingredients and immediately realized I wasn’t going to die that day! In fact, I was going to make dinner for the fam, in the middle of all the chaos!

Hands Down, The Most Comforting Meal For The Chilly Nights

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a delicious, hearty soup on a cool fall day. I’m a big fan of this season – I like the cooler weather, the crispy air and the golden shade of autumn sunlight. What I don’t like is the fact that it gets cold inside the house, too. Which is where all kinds of soups come in handy. No, you can’t wear them (at least I wouldn’t recommend that), but a steaming hot bowl of soup will fill your belly and make you feel warm again.

My family doesn’t always agree with me, though! You know how it is with teenagers; I guess soup isn’t a very trendy dish these days. They would rather have tacos, burgers or lasagna – or something else I really can’t even pronounce correctly.

I was determined to make soup, anyway, but I wanted to surprise my family by turning it into something they would actually love to eat. Enter, this incredible tortilla soup!

This is such a brilliant idea and I knew immediately my kids would love it. And they did!

The Only Guacamole Recipe You’ll Ever Need

Am I the only one who has these absolute staples, when it comes to a party menu? Guacamole is one of them. To me, it just doesn’t feel like a party unless I’m serving guacamole!

I still remember when I was a teenager and a friend of mine had just returned from an exchange trip to Chile – she brought with her an amazing recipe that wasn’t quite the kind of guacamole I was used to. Sadly, we lost touch over the years and I never got to ask her what was in it. But this recipe right here is so delicious, I probably wouldn’t even want to try anything else anymore!

The best thing about this is that it’s super easy. Since I’m making this for every party, I appreciate the fact that I don’t need to go through my recipe book every time. Simple ingredients and measurements make this one really easy to memorize – and, of course, share it with everyone who comes begging for the recipe. Trust me, they will!

I like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes in there, too, but that’s totally optional. If you’d rather not add them, it’ll still turn out super yummy.

Quick Tip: If you’re not serving the guacamole immediately, refrigerate it with the pits added to the bowl. They prevent the guacamole from going brown!

Your family will go crazy for these!

When my husband and I first bought our house and started having babies, many years ago, we went out to eat way more than what I would like to admit.

It was just about every other night, we were grabbing something from a drive-thru, having a pizza delivered, or going up to the local family restaurant to let them cook for us. It wasn’t my proudest moment I can tell you that much. However, life was too busy, and by the time it was time to eat, the last thing that I wanted to do was go stand in the kitchen for an hour making dinner. It just wasn’t in me at the end of the day.

My husband often requested Mexican food when we went out to eat, and I could tell that it was his favorite. When I was able to cook, he also loved my cooking, so I wanted to see if I could recreate any of his favorite dishes at home. That would be a real treat!

I couldn’t wait to surprise him with these homemade chicken burritos. They were super simple to make, and I thought they smelled amazing. The only thing that we had to wait for was the hubby coming home from work to be the official taste tester of the night.

ANYONE Can Make This Awesome Salsa Recipe!

I love game nights. Not only because that’s when a bunch of our greatest friends gather together with all of our kids to have a good time and enjoy the game, but also because it turns into such a tasty potluck party! You know, we all bring something really tasty and something that’s easy to eat while watching the game. Usually it’s all about snacks, appetizers and dips – the kids love that stuff and it’s so much easier for us parents than cooking a huge meal for such a large crowd.

We try to change things up a little every time, so that we wouldn’t get bored of the same old appetizers. Mini meatballs are awesome, but not if you’re having them all the time!

Last week it was my turn to bring some kind of a dipping sauce for the gathering. I was so busy all week that I honestly didn’t have the time to check out a fab new recipe, let alone go pick up some special ingredients. So when the night came, I was exhausted, and I wish I didn’t have to bring anything at all.
