I know what you’re thinking – risotto without standing over the stove stirring for an hour? I was skeptical at first, but goodness, was I wrong? This is so creamy and delicious that I will never make it any other way again!
Recipe
Creamy Gruyere Mac and Cheese
Do not use pre-shredded cheese if you don’t have to! It has a coating on it that doesn’t melt as well. Shred your own cheese - I promise it’s worth the extra step!
Recipe
Asian Slaw
Per usual, we love sauce and double the dressing for our slaw. Nut allergies? Leave them out.
Recipe
Creamy Cesar Salad Dressing
Add everything to a bowl and whisk it all together, or throw it all into a mason jar and shake. If it is too thick, add a little water.
Recipe
Cranberry Basil Sangria
This is a great option for the winter months. Garnishing with fresh cranberries gives it that holiday feel. You can omit the wine if you want to make this a mocktail or substitute cranberries for frozen blueberries or raspberries.
Recipe
Easy Vodka Sauce
So easy and so good. Any pasta works, but we prefer either gnocchi, rigatoni or penne.
Recipe
Espresso Martini
Make it to your liking – less vodka, more Kahlua – there is no wrong answer here!
Recipe
Blood Orange Margarita
If you are lucky enough to find it, there is blood orange juice! Buy it, use it and enjoy the ease of making this without squeezing oranges. You can also substitute regular oranges or orange juice.
Recipe
Spicy Thai Noodles
It’s like eating great takeout but much better. This meal comes together so quickly that it’s a perfect weeknight meal. Make extra – it’s good the next day.
Recipe
Quick and Easy Paella
The best part of this dish is, hands down, the crispy rice at the bottom – make sure you scrape that off into your leftovers. You can also forget your candles. Your house will smell much better with this.
