Note: I was sent a copy of America’s Test Kitchen The Complete Modern Pantry Cookbook in order to write this review. Opinions are mine alone. Recently, my husband and I moved to the suburbs. One of the biggest adjustments has been having to make basically every single meal at home, where when we lived in … Continue reading Spicy Carrot Dip
Note: This post is sponsored by Nasoya. All opinions are mine alone. I’ve been sharing fairly meat-heavy recipes recently, so it’s about time I shared a meatless (and vegan) option that is perfect for busy weeknights, so here’s a yummy recipe for Thai Basil Vegetable Dumplings with Spicy Peanut Sauce. Nasoya, the nation’s leading brand … Continue reading Thai Basil Vegetable Dumplings with Spicy Peanut Sauce
Note: I was sent a bottle of Chabé® Sambal Chili. All opinions are mine alone. We are big fans of spicy foods in my house. So whenever I am given the opportunity to try a new hot sauce or paste, I always jump at the chance. Since the moment this little bottle of Chabé® Sambal Chili … Continue reading Spicy Cucumber Salad

It allows you to substitute in other options if you aren’t digging the ones selected, and even has the … Continue reading Crab Cakes with Spicy Mustard Sauce

This recipe comes together in no time (and is really simple to make), making it a great … Continue reading Spicy Flank Steak Tacos with Watermelon Salsa
I (like most people, I’m sure) cook mostly things I want to eat. Every now and then, I will get a special request and will go outside my comfort zone (like this Meatloaf recipe, or this Sriracha Deviled Eggs recipe) but when it comes to a weeknight dinner, I’m really selfish about what I cook. … Continue reading Clams with Spicy Sausage
Certain foods just seem to be ingrained in what we thing about certain cities, countries or regions. The South is known for its barbecue (which is different state to state), Italy is known for its pasta, Philadelphia is known for its cheesesteaks… you get the idea. I was recently sent a cookbook that plays off … Continue reading Plum Sweet and Spicy Chicken
I realized I have never posted a recipe for crab cakes. That is ridiculous! So today’s the day. I found this recipe for Crab Cakes with Spicy Remoulade in one of my Cooking Light recipes and altered it a bit for what I happened to have in my pantry. Crab cakes: 1 pound jumbo … Continue reading Crab Cakes with Spicy Remoulade
I know, I know. I really need to up my chicken recipes. Cooking Light must realize this too because they had a recipe for Spicy Moroccan Chicken Skewers that I couldn’t pass up. The original recipe suggested serving the skewers with Greek yogurt, so I made a quick raita to go with them. I also … Continue reading Spicy Moroccan Chicken Skewers
After making pumpkin pie milkshakes this weekend, I thought it was time to make a savory dish using pumpkin. The weather changed literally overnight giving Philly a very November-like day, so I was craving a warm soup that also would deliver some spicy heat. This recipe for Curried Pumpkin Soup with Spicy Pumpkin Seeds from … Continue reading Curried Pumpkin Soup with Spicy Pumpkin Seeds
My CSA share has been full of tomatoes lately. And as much as I love tomatoes, I’m even having trouble getting through them all! Sounds like a perfect excuse to make some Tomato Jam! If you’ve never tasted tomato jam before, it is quite the tasty little condiment! It works so nicely with grilled meats; … Continue reading Tomato Jam
Did you know that I have over 1,000 recipes on my blog? That’s a lot of cooking inspiration! So it’s probably not a surprise that I like to look back on old recipes I’ve made and either use them as is or change them up a bit and make a new recipe! This recipe for Sambal … Continue reading Sambal Chicken with Peppers and Tomatoes
Note: I was sent a copy of Muffins (paid link) by Cyndi Duncan and Georgie Patrick in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone. One of the best perks of being a food blogger is the ability to receive and review cookbooks. Not only are they a great source of inspiration for me … Continue reading Spiced Walnut Peach Mini Bundt Cakes or Muffins
Note: I was sent an 11-Inch NanoBond Skillet from Hestan Culinary in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone. Before I get to this awesome recipe for One Pot Jamaican Curry Chicken and Potatoes, I wanted to share with you a new addition to my kitchen that I’m madly in love with. One of … Continue reading One Pot Jamaican Curry Chicken and Potatoes
Note: I was sent some Philly Pretzel Factory coupons in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone. It is no secret that I am a proud Philadelphian. It’s also no secret that I love me a good charcuterie board / cheese plate. So it’s about time I make a Philadelphia themed charcuterie board! … Continue reading Philadelphia Themed Charcuterie Board
