Buttery, garlic shrimp over a bed of buttery garlic pasta! And this is even a fairly simple recipe! Perfect for when you need to throw together a meal for the family when you’re prepping and running around to New Year’s parties! I’d been craving shrimp scampi for some reason recently, so when I snagged some shrimp at the grocery this was my go-to! Usually, I don’t think of shrimp scampi as being spicy, but that little hint of a kick from the red pepper flakes was kinda cool in this recipe! If spice isn’t your thing, then feel free to…

Continue ReadingBonus post: here’s another gourmet burger to add to your repertoire! Keep this one in mind alongside jalapeno cheddar stuffed burgers, or the juicy lucy burger. With these three burgers on your menu, you’re sure to impress! This is definitely a different twist on a classic burger, but really the main difference is the ground lamb. Everything else I typically have in my pantry. Make sure that you don’t over-mix the lamb, because you won’t want it to be tough. We served this with garlic butter roasted carrots and actually used what was left of the garlic butter in the…

So I know I promised you my review on Mediterranean Cellars in my post last week about quattro goomba winery, but I’ve elected to postpone that post in favor of a shout out to the place in Baltimore that we had dinner for J’s bachelorette party! I figured that was a little more timely, and besides, I wanted to dish on some of the details of the weekend. So keep an eye out for that Mediterranean Cellars post, I promise it’s coming! I’ve known J for what’s going on 6 years–wow can you imagine? We met through our sorority in college, but at Bucknell…

This recipe is exactly what it sounds like! Pizza dip (though I will say, a little bit more of a white pizza), surrounded by soft and chewy garlic knots! Definitely turn up the garlic on those garlic knots too. Sometimes if I’m feeling extra-garlicky I will add a few pinches of garlic powder and a few pinches of onion powder to the butter mix. My only concern about this recipe is that it’s not quite enough to share with a large party of people. I wanted to make it for a hangout we’re doing this weekend with around 20 people, but with only…

So coming back from Iceland, I decided to do another round of hello fresh so that I wouldn’t be worried about grocery shopping and cooking and all that jazz when we were back. The first recipe we tried was a Dijon pork meal, that was satisfactory and I might post it at some point, but this juicy Lucy burger is definitely on my to-make-again list! This burger is more than your typical throw-it-on-the-grill burger, and definitely is schmancy enough to be like a restaurant burger, but it’s fairly straight forward to make. I’d pull this one out when you want that…

This is a hearty and tasty vegetarian pasta option! We actually were introduced to this recipe by a friend of T’s who made it when we visited them to chat about their trip to Iceland! We’re going next month, so we wanted to get the inside scoop since they went only a few months before we will. But T and I were both impressed with how tasty this meal was, so I decided to recreate it at home for myself! Asparagus is not T’s favorite, but he’ll eat it, and more happily so when it’s mixed into things, so that works out…

This past week was a struggle. Actually, all (two) weeks since Thanksgiving. Even with the Hello Fresh meals eliminating some meal planning and grocery shopping, I’ve felt like a crazy person. Just this past weekend there was our company holiday party, a LAN party with the guys at work, a visit to a Shiba inu adoption event, brunch with friends, and an entire day driving to and advising for my sorority. While all those things were fun, needless to say, it’s been a little crazy. I could have used a weekend break from the weekend! I remember when I was…

So we made individual garlic monkey breads as a quick side to caesar chicken tortellini the other other night! They were quite tasty, and simple to boot, considering I pretty much always have some biscuit dough floating around in my refrigerator. At the grocery store I had only been focused on picking up ingredients for the tortellini, so side dishes didn’t really cross my mind. But I got home and was thinking, you know what goes great with caesar salad and tortellini? Garlic bread! But alas, no fresh crusty bread, so what’s a girl to do to get her garlic…
