COPYCAT BANDERA’S MACHO SALAD
This hearty salad is one of my favorites to throw together during the warmer months. It has enough going on that it can be an entire meal on its own, but it also goes great as a side at any summer BBQ! And trust me …

“AMPED UP” BOXED CAKE MIX
People often ask me what my favorite vanilla cake recipe is, and honestly…it’s this. If i’m making vanilla, funfetti, cherry chip, or any other basic cake flavor, I typically “amp up” a boxed mix rather than make the entire thing from scratch. You’re still adding …
Halal Cart-Style Chicken and Rice
If you’ve never been to Halal Guys in New York (they’ve expanded all over the place now!), you’re seriously missing out. I had a craving for it a few weeks ago, and since they have yet to open up shop near me, I decided to …
MUDDY BUDDIES
These are one of my absolute favorite treats ever so a couple years ago I set out to perfect the recipe. I’m warning you now–don’t make these when you’re home alone or you might find yourself eating the entire batch yourself! These are SO much …
CLARK’S FAMOUS CHICKEN POT PIE
This unique take on chicken pot pie is a family favorite, not only because it’s absolutely delicious, but because of how quick it is to throw together compared to a traditional chicken pot pie! Rather than making homemade pie dough, you use prepared puff pastry …

Apple Pie has always been my favorite Thanksgiving pie…by far. It’s always the kind I volunteer to make for parties and holiday meals because I can’t bear the thought of not having it as an option! Growing up, our mom always made the most delicious …
SALMON SUSHI BOWLS
If I were to pick a favorite food, I would definitely choose sushi. Kinda funny, because as kids, we lived in Japan, and I was terrified of sushi back then. I would order “kappamaki” (plain cucumber roll) every time we got it and would never …
SIMPLE HAWAIIAN HAYSTACKS (FROM SCRATCH)
Hawaiian Haystacks were not a staple in our household growing up. The few times I had them were at church activities or friend’s houses and I always remembered loving the idea of them. Any dinner where you get to customize it yourself with a massive …
CADBURY CHIP COOKIES
Is anyone else living off of Cadbury Eggs during this pandemic? I don’t even want to know how many bags I’ve gone through! They are so good, but if you haven’t tried them melted in a chocolate chip cookie, you are missing out big time. …
GREEK GYROS WITH HOMEMADE TZATZIKI
If I had to choose any cuisine to eat exclusively forevermore, it would probably be Mediterranean. I love the bold flavors they use in their cooking and the fact that I don’t feel like a tub of lard after eating it. Gyros have always been …
