The St. Patty’s Melt {not just for St. Paddy’s Day}
It’s St. Patrick’s Day! How does one day draw in sooo many people? Beer. AND that we’re a melting pot society…who wants to claim to be Irish at least one day a year :) St. Patrick’s Day seems to span across continents, dialects, and generations. We’re looking for permission to drink. Beer. And make Irish Soda Bread…so we can turn it into Patty Melts on St. Paddy’s Day. That’s my theory. And the St. Patty’s Melt was born.

Turkey Burgers {BBQ}
I have no excuse for not sharing this recipe with you before now. Our close friends and family know that Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries had always been a signature meal for us. However, somewhere around the time I got caught up in the What’s for Dinner craze (trying different recipes almost every night), our old faithful Turkey Burger got limited play time. It took sharing them at the office last week for me to realize how much I’ve missed them. And considering they are still being raved about, it’s time to give up the secret recipe.

Pepperoncini Pot Roast {Crock Pot Recipe}
Pepperoncini Pot Roast {Crock Pot Recipe}. First, let me say that this is a fabulous Pot Roast recipe without doing any work. Place the roast in your crock pot, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt & pepper, pour in a jar of pepperoncini peppers – liquid and all, set it on low for 8 – 10 hours, and go about your business.

Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash {B is for Braising}
Santa Claus is quite perceptive. I mean he brought me a Terracotta Tagine for Christmas and it wasn’t even on my list. How did he know?!! Working perfectly into our Winter Thyme Spice Exploration plan, we put that baby to good use tonight. We turned a basic beef stew into a fragrant adventure with this Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash. Paprika, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne came together with tangy tomatoes and sweet butternut squash to create a BIG flavor sauce. The beef was tender, as slow braised beef should be, and completely infused with Moroccan love. I’m smiling.

Prime Rib Roast {Christmas Eve Dinner}
I’ve been craving Prime Rib for months. Which means I’ve been talking about it…a lot…for months. And while over the past year special occasions have come and gone…I knew I could only take so much and would, in time, make Prime Rib.

REALLY Good Meatloaf
The BEST Meatloaf I’ve ever had was one I called The Collaborative Meatloaf. On that night each cook took turns adding an ingredient, the rule was you could only add one ingredient per turn and you must disclose what you added. We made it the way REALLY Good Meatloaf should be made….by starting with good quality meat, adding fresh veggies, binding ingredients like eggs, milk, bread, herbs & aromatics, and then a few secret ingredients. The problem with our original Collaborative Meatloaf recipe is we also took turns making cocktails and I’m afraid the ‘secret’ ingredients will remain a secret.

Flat Iron Steak Fajitas {with Mexican Rice}
We were first introduced to Flat Iron Steaks a couple years ago and they are now a favorite for recipes that call for a nice thin sliced steak. They love to be marinated which is how this quick and easy Steak Fajitas recipe adapted from Simply Recipes begins.

Swing State Chili {Skyline Chili Inspired}
Today is Election Day and we will enjoy dinner tonight….squarely in front of the television. We kicked around some menu ideas in honor of this important day. Should we have a red, white, and blue Americana theme or perhaps good ole’ Georgia inspired southern food. In the end we decided to focus on the ‘swing states’ who seem to hold the future of the country in their hands. So in honor of the great folks of Ohio….here is our best attempt at your beloved Cincinnati “Skyline” Chili.

27 Ingredient Chili Con Carne {Share the Love}
My most favorite day of the year at the office is Halloween (closely followed by the day after Inventory…that’s a me thing). Not only do we have GREAT costumes, and AWE-Mazing Decorations & Special Effects, but we have FOOD that’s to die for….muahahaha…. Speaking of food that’s to die for, this crazy good 27 Ingredient Chili Con Carne recipe was born on the pages of a murder mystery. IF the term Layers of Flavor applied to any single recipe….this might just be the ONE….27 of them to be exact.
