Beer-Brined Barbecue Chicken

Leah Short — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 14:16:01 +0000

Summer, of course, is always a great time to grill. I’m not a master of the grill by any means, so I love when I go to my mom’s house and she can take over. One of these days I’m going to get my learnin’ on, but for now I enjoy tackling the sides (like this Ranchero Corn) and letting her handle the main dish. This Beer-Brined Barbecue Chicken was something I was really looking forward to. Meat that has been brined is so tender and flavorful, plus this one gets slathered in a homemade barbecue sauce while it grills.

Creamy Avocado & White Bean Wraps

Leah Short — Mon, 07 Jul 2014 11:33:55 +0000

Don’t be fooled by these ordinary-looking wraps. These Creamy Avocado & White Bean Wraps take eating a sandwich to a new level. A spicy, crunchy, creamy, healthy level (check out the fiber!). Anything that I can add avocado to is going to make me happy. You won’t believe the flavor when that avocado is mixed with white beans, onion, and Cheddar, then topped with a crunchy, spicy slaw. Every bite I was saying “Oh my gosh this is good. This is really good!”

Crunchy Ramen Chicken Salad

Leah Short — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 12:19:21 +0000

This Crunchy Ramen Chicken Salad brings back so many good memories for me. After almost five years of blogging, I really don’t know why it has taken me so long to post about it. I first made this salad about 15 years ago when I was just getting started with cooking. If you’ve read my About page, you know that this all started when my mom bought me one of those Betty Crocker small magazines that you see in checkout lanes. This recipe wasn’t in that first one, but a couple of issues later. I instantly fell in love with this salad and must’ve made it a bajillion times. Then, like so many of my beloved recipes, it kind of dropped off the radar. I’m slowly going back through those favorites so I can make sure they get shared with you and find a home on the blog.

Warm Brown Rice and Chickpea Salad with Cherries and Goat Cheese

Leah Short — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 14:17:44 +0000

This Warm Brown Rice and Chickpea Salad with Cherries and Goat Cheese may sound a bit unusual, but it’s fantastic. I really wanted to make it with Rainier cherries, but I don’t think they’re quite in season yet. You could make this with any kind of cherry, but I opted for dried cherries. I can’t wait to make this again with fresh Rainiers! I made this salad twice, tweaking the recipe just a bit each time. Just small changes made it a different salad, but I loved both versions. Using a precooked pouch of brown rice makes this a cinch to get on the table. Perfect for when you’re busy and don’t want to fire up the stove, but want something homemade.

Moroccan Salad with Cilantro Orange Dressing

Leah Short — Thu, 29 May 2014 14:51:18 +0000

I’m a big salad lover, especially ones with different flavors, textures, and unique ingredients. I made this Moroccan Salad with Cilantro Orange Dressing over the holiday weekend and it was fantastic. You can eat it warm or cold, and it makes a great light meal, but fills you up thanks to the bulgur. This recipe comes from the Everyday Healthy ebook, which I’m slowly eating my way through. Healthy can really taste good!

Cornbread, Sausage, and Pecan Dressing

Leah Short — Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:05:58 +0000

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was amazing with good food and family and friends. This year’s Thanksgiving feast was pretty much a success with no mishaps. In past years, we’ve had a dish or two that didn’t quite cut the mustard (I like to make new dishes every year), but not this year. For the next couple of posts, I’ll be recapping what we had on our table. I know you may be sick of Thanksgiving food, but these are great recipes to bookmark for Christmas or save for next year! Also, please excuse the pictures as they’re all from my phone. I think my favorite dish this year was this Cornbread, Sausage, and Pecan Dressing. Two years ago, I made a similar Cornbread & Sausage Stuffing…but no pecans. Pecans make everything better in my book!

Taco Pickles

Leah Short — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:34:00 +0000

I feel like I should get some kind of award for actually making so much stuff I’ve pinned on Pinterest. I wonder how many crafty or recipe pins really get made? Probably not a high percentage. I’m happy to slowly start increasing that number with these Taco Pickles. I pinned them, I made them, and they’re delicious! Success! Instead of cucumbers, its’ a jar filled with carrots, radishes, and jalapenos. So, where does the taco come in? It refers to how to use them. They are perfect for topping tacos, especially fish tacos. Remember the Slow Cooker Thai-Style Peanut Pork? Yep, I put these babies on top of that and wowza. It’s not just for tacos, but anything that could use some zing.

Slow Cooker Thai-Style Peanut Pork

Leah Short — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 13:49:53 +0000

Over two years ago (am I slow or what?), my friend Beth over at Eat. Drink. Smile. held a slow cooker contest and the winner was this Slow Cooker Thai-Style Peanut Pork. It sounds absolutely amazing and I’ve had it on my brain for a long time. Now that it actually feels like Fall in Nashville, it’s slow cooker time! I love using my slow cooker because it pretty much does all the work for me and fills my house with the most incredible smells. The hard part is waiting eight hours to eat!

Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter

Leah Short — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:37:48 +0000

Roasting vegetables is very high on my list of best ways to get your veggies in. It’s simple and it enhances their natural flavors, plus you can jazz it up with herbs and spices. Roasting asparagus is no different and it’s perfect with just salt and pepper. However, now that I’ve discovered Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter, I’ll be finishing off my veggies with this sauce from now on.
