This Sticky Asian Pork Ribs recipe is baked in the oven to melt-in-your-mouth, sticky, sweet, crispy, spicy perfection.
I ADORE this flavor combination! Sweet and heat, especially with an Asian twist, is one of my favorites. Combine that with sticky and caramelized on these fall-off-the-bone, tender ribs and you have absolute perfection.
…Grilled Bang Bang Shrimp is succulent and tender shrimp skewers that are brushed with a simple olive oil and garlic spice wet rub. Seared for just 2-3 minutes on each side and then drizzled with the most amazingly crave-able, scratch-made Bang Bang Sauce for an insanely easy and quick meal.
The idea behind Bang Bang shrimp was made famous by Bonefish Grill, but I love this version even more.
…Sticky, Saucy, Sweet, Spicy, Crispy, and Crunchy! I’m IN LOVE with these baked, red-hot-peppery Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Wings with Honey Sriracha Sauce!
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos have been THE KING of spicy, cheesy, crunchy snacks for some time now. When you roll a chicken wing in these crispy little bites of heaven, you get a crazy crunchy, flavor explosion in your mouth and the Honey Sriracha buttery glaze is the finger-licking icing on the cake.

Fresh vegetables and herbs, stock, dry white wine, and half and half combine in this Cream of Turkey (or Chicken) Soup Recipe for one of my favorite comfort foods! Bonus – it’s amazing for using up left over turkey or chicken!
Despite the depth of flavor, this one pot soup is so incredibly easy and tastes like it took hours to simmer. Creamy and bursting with chunky pieces of turkey and the tender bite of fresh vegetables, this soup bares no resemblance to what comes out of a can in looks or taste.
…Forget the sticky marshmallows and instead try this incredibly easy Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Casserole that combines tender cubes of sweet potatoes in a maple-syrup-infused, light caramel sauce all topped with a toasty, pecan crumble crust. The best part? The Crock Pot does almost ALL of the work!
What I love about this side is the sheer simplicity that the combination of the right quality ingredients produces with minimal effort. There is no boiling or roasting of the sweet potatoes. The maple caramel sauce is just basics dumped in the Crock Pot. The Pecan Crumble Crust is 5 pantry staples sprinkled over the top.
And who doesn’t always wish for more oven space? Let the Slow Cooker make this side dish for you!
…This Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff recipe from scratch is fork-tender, fall apart beefy goodness. Could there be a more comforting, all-American, Crock Pot comfort food…via Russia?
Tender cubes of beef chuck roast, caramelized mushrooms and onions, wine, and garlic in a flavor-packed broth all finished with a creamy dollop of sour cream and the crockpot does almost all of the work! The perfect weeknight-easy or weekend-lazy, cold-weather, crowd-pleaser, especially with a batch of Italian Herb Garlic Cheddar Biscuits.
…Pasta on the grill…Say what? Grilling the ingredients for this simple pasta dish ups the flavor ante in a way you won’t believe! Grilled Salsiccia Pasta uses classic Italian ingredients that are roasted to sweet and smoky perfection on the barbecue and then blended into an easy, simple pasta sauce.
Roasted red peppers, garlic, and onion pair beautifully with zesty, grilled Salsiccia Italian sausages. Grilling them really makes the flavors shine and intensify as they reach caramelized perfection on the grill.
…Smoked Chuck Roast Chili is my ‘Lotsa Meatsa’, super heavy on meat, very thick, light on beans version of chili. It has a deep, complex flavor from Guinness Stout, bacon, traditional chili spices, cocoa powder, and smoke. You don’t need a smoker to make it, but it is made on a barbecue grill.
Life is like a box of chocolates….
Or a variation of chili…
In other words, variety is the spice of life, in my humble opinion.
…This incredibly, easy 30 Minute Meal is short on work and big on flavor! Grilled Sausage with Peppers and Onions comes together in minutes. Dressed with a sweet and spicy sauce, the barbecue grill does almost all of the work for you. Serve these caramelized onions, peppers, and sausage as a sandwich or skip the bun.
Polish Kielabsa is already a family favorite and a guaranteed crowd pleaser, but it’s the magic that happens when the tomato, brown sugar, garlic sriracha sauce caramelizes on the grilled onions and peppers that makes it just so insanely good!
…Lemon. Garlic. Wine. What more can I say? Ridiculously tender and juicy after a quick marinade, these Grilled Chicken Spiedini Skewers have a light, airy crust of Parmesan and panko and a simply, sumptuous Garlic Lemon Butter Drizzle to finish off this classic Italian favorite.
It’s still grilling season, folks! Which means a nice afternoon or evening of patio sitting, definitely a favorite activity for my family and I. Tiki torches, tunes, and a frosty cold cocktail will make even a dreary day just a little bit brighter!
