If you love crab cakes, then these are going to be right up your alley. Crab gets expensive to eat regularly, but swapping crab for shrimp in this recipe allows you to enjoy these little guys any dang time you want. How great is that?! …
Enchiladas are one of those meals that people think take a lot of work to put together, but are actually quite simple. I like making them because I can make them once and then the family can eat them for the week. That makes my…
Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I do not like cooked carrots. Never have. I don’t know what it is about them, but between the texture and the amplified sweetness. Uh uh. No thanks. My husband dislikes them more than me. Needless to say, cooked carrots do not frequent out household.
However, these Coconut Roasted Carrots are a different story. I love these little guys. They’re a great quick and easy side dish and are so tasty. I’m a big fan of the crunch the coconut gives these, and the thin cut keeps them from getting that mushy texture that I despise. Occasionally I’ll top with a little splash of lime juice and it really plays up an island vibe.
Happy 4th! What better way to celebrate than with some food?! Fresh and flakey biscuits are one of those things that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The problem? I’ve never been able to find a biscuit recipe that is healthy and is…
I’m a side sleeper in every sense. Try and get me to sleep on my back and well…I won’t sleep. I’ve even tried surrounding myself with pillows to try and keep myself on my back and I either get hot or push the pillows off…
If y’all haven’t had elote, then you haven’t lived! Seriously the BEST! We have an elote man that walks his little cart around one of the neighborhoods in our area and it takes everything in my power not to stop and get one every single time I see him. I guess you could call him my ice cream man.
I don’t even know words to describe elote aside from a creamy corn with chili and cheese and a hint of lime. It’s so simple, yet all of the flavors work wonders together. I’m not even a person who’s a big fan of corn. I eat it rarely. But in elote form, I want it all!
Elote is typically an ear of corn that has Mexican crema, lime, chili powder and cotija sprinkled on it, but I’m not one for biting into a cob of corn. Not my thing in the least. Even when I was younger, I’d cut the corn off of the cob to eat. That’s why I’ve made it into salad form instead. I also think it helps coat each kernel in the creamy goodness to give a perfect bite each time.
This is a perfect side dish for any BBQ, tacos, grilled chicken, tri-tip, you name it!
