I’ve never used ‘potato salad’ and ‘light’ in the same sentence, until this recipe. The vinaigrette-soaked potatoes burst with flavor and the crispy bacon and grated egg compliment the salad wonderfully. I still love mayonnaise-based potato salads, but this recipe is a delicious and healthier alternative!

I couldn’t help but notice the pimento cheese recipes floating around the Internet, so I wanted to try it myself. Of course, being a burger lover, I decided to use the cheese on a juicy burger. The pimento cheese is delicious plain, as a dip with chips, but the melted, gooey cheese was divine on a burger!

I wasn’t sure what to make for dinner the other night, but knew I wanted something with buffalo chicken. I spotted the zucchini at the grocery store and was inspired to make these zucchini boats, which were everything I dreamed of and more. My brother suggested using potato skins instead of zucchini next time (which I’m all about), so keep your eyes peeled for that post! :)

Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve been MIA–I was in Miami last weekend for a work trip and am finally catching up on everything. Since I didn’t want to go to the store, I made this chicken hash with ingredients on hand. The dish was savory, hearty and full of flavor. And of course, the crispy bacon crumbled on top made the dish even more delicious!

Yes, you read that correctly–bacon-wrapped buffalo chicken jalapeño poppers. Crazy, right?! I stumbled across this recipe a few months ago, but completely forgot about it until now. These poppers were unbelievably flavorful, with just the right amount of kick from the buffalo sauce and jalapeño. If you’re like me and love bacon, buffalo sauce and jalapeños, please go make these!

This recipe is incredibly simple; however, it doesn’t lack in the flavor department. I’ve always been a sucker for potatoes–mashed, smashed, baked, roasted, fried–so naturally, these smashed potatoes are my kind of meal. And it doesn’t hurt that bacon is involved. :)

You might not believe me (or, you might) when I tell you that this is a Weight Watchers recipe. My mom and I made a few of the recipes while I was home this past weekend, and I’ve got to tell you–they’re fantastic!
We made these bacon, egg and spinach stacks on Mother’s Day morning. One breakfast cup was the perfect amount of food to tide us over before lunch at the country club. Though I’m not on the diet, I will most definitely make these again.

While visiting home over Memorial Day weekend, my mom and I made our family recipe for barbecue baked beans. For some reason, this particular batch was exceptionally delicious. Greg, from Rufus’ Food and Spirits Guides, inspired me to make the dish after reading his post.
Although our recipe isn’t entirely homemade (we use canned beans), it doesn’t take away from the abundance of flavor. The beans are sweet, with the perfect amount of salt from the crisp bacon strips.
We paired the beans with sweet corn, succulent turkey burgers (here) and a crisp green salad. My dad and I weren’t afraid to grab a second helping of the beans.
