Texas rockets (aka- grilled, bacon wrapped, stuffed jalapeños) are my very favorites, y’all. I love it when Adam grills these up. In fact, not only are these one of my favorites, they’re one of those oft-requested barbecue and potluck staples (people always ask us to bring Texas Rockets!). I love having those kinds of crowd pleaser […]
parmesan herb smash potatoes
You know side dishes that you go back to over and over again because they are yummy and easy and go with everything? These crispy, herb-y, parmesan-y potatoes are one of those for us! I can’t believe we haven’t ever put the recipe on here, actually. Time to remedy that. INGREDIENTS 6 russet potatoes Coarse […]
peach barbecue sauce
I know peach season is kind of already past, but I found a bunch of peaches last weekend and remembered this amazing peach barbecue sauce that my sister and I made a few weeks back. It’s a little sweet and a little spicy and oh-so-good. If you can find peaches, friends, make this stuff. It’s […]
homemade salsa recipe (cilantro free!)
Earlier this summer, we finally had success growing tomatoes in Saipan (we’ve been trying since we moved there!) and there was much celebrating. And lots of salsa (as in, Daily Batch of Salsa lots). We lost our tomato plants in the typhoon (sad day), but right now, we have access to my sister’s garden. And so- […]
baked honey sesame chicken wings
Do any of you have a private family group on Facebook? Not only are these groups great for keeping in touch with family that is spread out across the globe, or for sharing funny stories and pictures, they are the perfect place for March Madness Trash Talk. Guys, I seriously love our annual tradition of filling […]
chimichurri: herb steak sauce
Ok, I need a show of hands- how many of you are doing some sort of clean eating/ whole 30/ paleo diet after the holidays? We aren’t doing a full on detox, but we something close to that. This herb dressing is the perfect addition to all sorts of clean eating foods. It goes amazingly […]
warm root vegetable salad
I don’t know if I mentioned this on the blog or not, but last year my husband and I did the whole 30. It was a challenging and gratifying month of finding new and healthier ways to enjoy cooking and food. And if for no other reason I am thankful we did it because we […]
the easiest (no bake!) holiday appetizers
Hi friends! Can you believe it’s already December? In the year 2014? I just can’t get over how fast this year has gone. I swear, we just got off the plane from our summer visit to the states last week…and now it’s DECEMBER. The best part of December? The holiday parties have begun. I LOVE […]
homemade apple butter (with a free printable label!)
It’s hard to believe that it has been a whole year since I was traveling to Idaho in the fall (so gorgeous!) to visit our youngest sister and meet my niece, Adi. Northern Idaho is so beautiful in October- one of my favorite things we did while I was visiting (other than serious cuddle time […]
make your own honey roasted barbeque sauce (aka chick fil a sauce)
Because almost all food items are shipped in by boat or airplane, and because the island we live on is only about 48 square miles, our access to things I’d consider ‘comfort food’ (and even pantry staples) is limited at best! Jord came up with a copycat Chick Fil A sauce recipe awhile back that […]
