Deez nuts. Deez spiced candied nuts are soooooo good. These little babies are going to find their way into some oatmeal, on top of some french toast, mixed in with an arugula salad, maybe even with some ooey-gooey brie cheese on a toasty garlic rubbed crostini. Sheesh, I’m making myself hungry. I think spiced candied…

Beer Battered Cheese Curds
I get it, curd is not the most appetizing word. But if curds are wrong I don’t want to be right. I would officially like to enter my curds into the Guinness World Records for longest cheese pull EVER. These were epic!! The beer batter is light and crispy and the perfect coating for the ooey-gooey…
Grilled Sweet and Spicy Gochujang Chicken Wings with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce
Stupid. These are STUPID good. Although they are not fried, they are still beyond tender and juicy thanks to that tangy buttermilk brine. The smokey char flavor from the grill really shines through and pairs beautifully with the sweet and spicy sauce. And that cilantro dipping sauce? Bruh. It is so perfect to cool down…

Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Olive Oil Bread
There is no smell more intoxicating than a big head of garlic roasting away in the oven. Okay, I lied, there is no smell more intoxicating than a big crusty loaf of bread loaded with fresh roasted garlic fresh out of the oven. It seems that baking scares many people. I am not a baker…
Guac and Pico with Zesty Lime Chips
Chipotle is my liiiiiiiiiife. But, I have to say, my guac is better than theirs (and I don’t charge extra for it). What better vehicle to shovel yummy guac in your face than homemade chips? The pico adds a nice freshness to the rich guac and chips. The only thing that would make this better…
Soft Pretzels with a Trio of Dipping Sauces
Oh my… There is nothing like a warm, soft, doughy pretzel to just make your day the best day.

Mmmm mm. …
