If you guessed that I’d be sharing buffalo chicken dip, then you were right! I’ve been having so much fun thinking up buffalo chicken recipes. Since the biggest football game of the year is practically days away it only seemed right to share a dip recipe now, so why not blend two awesome party foods into one: buffalo chicken and dip. It’s a perfect addition to the snack table! Continue Reading
Once upon a time I had a crazy obsession with Chex Mix. I managed to go years without buying a single bag. I’m not sure how that happened exactly, I think it started out with me cringing over the high price for such a little bag and it turned into me forgetting.

I know onion rings aren’t for everyone and honestly they’re not even always something I like. They have to be cooked just right. I don’t like them too thick and they can’t be super juicy either. I like them more on the thin and crispy side. Those sadly are hard to find but some places do them right. I’ve tried to duplicate fried onion rings a couple of times and was never happy with the results.
This weekend I made a split batch of onion rings for testing purposes. One half was coated in a spiced flour mixture and the other half was coated in a spiced panko mixture. The other difference, one was fried and the other baked. I had such high hopes for finding a fried version I’d like but it was another disappointment. It wasn’t right at all. The baked version was awesome though, so I had to recreate and tweak it a bit the following day so I could share with you!! Continue Reading
A week ago we went to the apple farm and came back with nearly 20 pounds of apples. I’m not even remotely kidding. I’m in apple heaven. I love this time of year. Sure you can get apples year round but they’re not local and super fresh. In fact, the apples that are shipped in sometimes taste funny which really bums me out. I wish apples could be frozen like other fruit and enjoyed year round. Boy would that save me some frustration and sadness in the off season! Maybe someday someone will come up with a solution outside of canning applesauce or apple pie filling. Neither is the same as a fresh juicy apple. Continue Reading
