Ultimate Green Bean Casserole

November 14, 2018 Leave a Comment

If you think I'm gonna make a green bean casserole that isn't bomb AF and worthy of being on my blog, you've got me f'd up. For years, I avoided any kind of green bean casserole because it's notoriously made with canned soup. No shade, but yuck. Then I realized, "Wait a minute...this can be made from scratch, and can be slammin!" So here we are, guys. Facing the elephant in the room. Green bean casserole is no longer has to be stereotyped as the flavorless canned soup atrocity that Peggy from Accounting would bring to the office potluck. This is ultimate green bean casserole. No canned ...

Dutch Apple Cheesecake Blondies

November 10, 2018 Leave a Comment

You guys. Dutch apple cheesecake blondies. Say it with me. Dutch. Apple. Cheesecake. Blondies. I wasn't ready. Like, I knew exactly how these were gonna taste before I made them (I can taste things in my mind, swear), but I was NOT ready for the actual bite. Tears rushed to my ducts, but my inner-pretend-thug pushed them back and I shook my head, "Nope! I am not gonna cry!". But I wanted to. They were so f*cking good. Melted in my mouth, perfectly sweet, buttery, salty, gooey...I'm emotional just typing this out. I just need you to understand that although there are a few steps to ...

Roasted Chicken and Parmesan Herb Dumplings

November 3, 2018 6 Comments

This roasted chicken and parmesan herb dumplings recipe will blow your mind. I'm not even kidding. If you've ever wanted to put a warm hug from grandma into a bowl, this is it. Creamy, intensely flavored, and ridiculously comforting. Everything is so balanced in this dish, you'd think it took all day to make. It's a bit more to it than your average chicken and dumplings recipe, but it wouldn't be a CarnalDish if I kept it basic. How Do You Dumpling? People love their chicken and dumplings with either poofy biscuit'like dumplings (such as these), or the flatter doughy noodle'like kind. ...

Creamy Roasted Mushroom Pasta

Many people who have followed my food for years know that Resha loves mushrooms. I know many people are weird about mushrooms, but this creamy roasted mushroom pasta will change their tune. Something magical occurs when you allow the mushrooms to soak up the heavenly flavors of balsamic vinegar, with a tiny splash of worcestershire that brings out their absolute best. They're tender, meaty, crazy ...

Can I be typical and drop another yummy apple recipe for the fall? Well, these spiced apple and thyme fritters are good any time of year. These are so damn good, y'all. Lots of flavor, great texture, and they're absolutely not greasy at all. The glaze drizzles down the sides and sets almost immediately. Thyme is a great addition here, complimenting the spice and tartness of the apples without ...

Smoky Grilled Croque Madame

This post is sponsored by Frick's Meats. All opinions are my own. It's never too cold to grill. These smoky grilled croque madame sandwiches featuring Frick's applewood smoked ham are reason enough pull your charcoal grill out and get busy. Yes, summer has been heralded as "Grilling Season", but I love to pour a chimney full of blazing hot coals into my Weber any day of the year. There's ...

If you never thought you could make restaurant quality steak at home, you were wrong AF. This garlic and herb butter steak will amaze you. It's easy, quick, and succulent. One of the sexiest steaks you'll ever make. I love meat in my mouth, it completes me. My teeth tearing thru a well seasoned bite of porterhouse that's been cooked to the perfect internal temperature really makes me a happy ...

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Soup

October 26, 2018 2 Comments

Roasting the cauliflower and garlic give this soup a much needed punch of flavor, and the color is gorgeous.

It's rainy, wet, and cold outside. The trees are losing leaves, and the sky is dull and thick with marbled grey clouds. A gloomy day, perfect for a delicious bowl of roasted garlic cauliflower soup. This is the kind of soup you eat in front of a fireplace, or intertwined with knitted blankets, wearing thick socks and watching your favorite television show. I really can't get over how delicious ...

This post is sponsored by Frick's Meats. All opinions are my own. The aroma that permeates your soul as this honey-dijon glazed ham slowly bakes in your oven is going to feel and smell like the holidays. Our mouths watered for an entire three hours until it was finished. I didn't just whip up a simple two-ingredient honey + dijon mustard glaze and call it a day. Those are the base flavors, yes ...

October 18, 2018 2 Comments

I crave a good gooey chocolate chip cookie almost every day. If you look in my freezer, you'll see a whole tray of frozen cookie dough balls ready to be baked whenever I get the urge. Yes, it's that serious. One of my favorite cookies on earth is a brown butter chocolate chip cookie with walnuts. The brown butter gets all toasty and toffee'like, boosting the overall flavor and texture of the ...

Million Dollar Chicken

October 17, 2018 16 Comments

I roast a lot of chicken. It's my favorite way to eat a chicken. But this million dollar chicken? Oh my GAWD! It's glorious. Succulent, juicy, insanely flavorful, I could go on, and I will. If you make this, you will subject yourself to an extremely couthless eating experience. Finger sucking, moaning, probably cussing and shaking your knees in anticipation for the next bite. This is by far my ...
