Green onion dip recipe We love green onions, so naturally we planted a ton of them in our garden. Well, we're not eating them as fast as we thought we would, and we keep forgetting about them. We'll be sitting down half way done with dinner, looking out at our garden and that's when we think "oh yeah, green onions would have been great on this." Moral of the story, I'm ...

Sriracha BBQ Party Pretzels Recipe
My family has this epic recipe for making a bag of boring pretzels, taste out-of-this-world-amazing. I swapped out one ingredient to make them even better, now we have ourselves Sriracha Barbecue party pretzels, and they’re a game changer. These will take you through a journey in time and space. (because The Mighty Boosh references are always acceptable.) Honestly though, ...
Easy corndog muffin recipe using Trader Joe’s cornbread mix
I'm always looking for family friendly recipes, my daughter isn't even a picky eater, but I like to make meals a little more fun. Sometimes I think I appreciate kid food just as much as she does and chicken tenders end up on the meal plan often. So I made some fun corndog muffins with a box of Trader Joe's cornbread mix. It was so easy, all I did was add a little garlic ...
Perfect Oven Potatoes
I am obsessed with potatoes. I love the idea of oven fries or oven potatoes, but they never seem to work for us, we have to bake them for well over an hour and they're never cooked evenly. It drove me nuts, oven potatoes shouldn't be rocket science! Through years of trial and error I finally figured out the best way to make oven potatoes (rather quickly too!) I make a couple ...
Slowcooker Calico Beans Recipe
A couple weeks ago, I was creating our meal plan for the next two weeks like usual. Father's Day happened to fall into those weeks and I knew we were going to celebrate AJ's favorite way; grilling! I didn't know what he wanted to grill, but I thought of the perfect side right away. It was time to dig out my Slowcooker Calico Beans Recipe. When I brought out my giant ...
Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Fries
AJ finally upgraded his grill this spring, and we've been grilling about twice a week since. As wonderful as it is to grill all weekend every weekend we're quickly running out of ideas for sides and have to get a little more creative. These garlic parmesan zucchini fries are probably one of the best things I've ever had as a side even though I'm not a fan of zucchini. One of ...
Four Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Wings
I love hosting people for game days, is there anything more fun than gathering together and eating tons of finger foods? Even when it's just the 3 of us at home we like to create quite the spread; chips and taco dip, something from the grill, cheese, crackers and sausage. We go all out. Sometimes it's nice to give the grill a break and cook something simple inside. That's ...
Best Ever Breakfast Potatoes Recipe
If it were up to me I would have potatoes with every single meal. I love potatoes, a lot. I tried out this recipe one afternoon when it was just Aliceana and I. I had skipped lunch and I couldn't wait a few hours for dinner, so I thought why not make some potatoes? Yep, I can make a meal out of potatoes. As soon as I tasted these I immediately texted AJ to let him know I made ...
Hasselback Tailgate Potatoes
So this recipe was supposed to be about how to make some delicious ribs on the grill for game day. Then I made these hasselback tailgate potatoes and they stole the show! They are a great way to combine your favorite types of potato. They are basically a baked potato that has been pre sliced to simplify the “loading” process of loaded baked potatoes. Thinly sliced about half ...

All opinions are mine alone. #AD #Tailgreatness #CollectiveBias We're the best at coming up with food combinations that are completely ridiculous. I believe that wonton and egg roll wrappers are an open invitation to stuff with whatever epic food you can think of. Scramble some eggs and stuff ...
Cheese stuffed brats in a blanket
Game nights are the best kind of nights, whether that means you’re sitting around a table playing a board game or sitting on the couch (and jumping up every two seconds when something good or bad happens) while watching a football game. This past weekend, we did a little bit of both. Saturday was all about playing board games, while Sunday was all about football. Our team won ...
