Y'ALL. My southern food addiction is going strong and I had a real flavor epiphany with these Dr. Pepper Gochujang Pork Sliders just in time for the holiday weekend! Let me tell you that this sweet, spicy soda pop umami sauce tossed with shredded braised pork is pure bliss and the perfect thing to kick off your summer festivities!

It's BBQ season and I have to admit my favorite part of a BBQ are the sides! To me, a pasta salad in the summer is a non-negotiable and this Calabrian Chili Pasta Salad is the perfect way to kick up the flavor a few notches!

I've been on a real southern cuisine kick recently and with Shrimp Boil season in full force, I just couldn't resist a sheet pan version featuring all the classics: spiced shrimp, andouille sausage, potatoes and corn all tossed with a chopped salad and creamy Old Bay dressing that is finger-licking good!

Letting my roots show with this Southern Biscuit Board. Years ago, we went to a brunch in Louisville, Kentucky for one of my best girlfriend's wedding weekends and had a southern biscuit board with bourbon glazed ham, sweet and savory pickles and all the mustard and it has been living in my brain rent free for 8 years now. This is the perfect thing to whip up for all the spring festivities and so fun to customize AND includes two of my absolute favorite local Southern (and Dallas) products: Texas Brisket Biscuit + SideDish Honey Dijon

If you are looking for a nourishing, flavor packed lunch to prep for the week ahead, but you're low on time, you've come to the right place! This zesty little number requires ZERO cooking, just assembly!

Happy citrus season to all who celebrate! This little stunner salad was inspired for my love of all the gorgeous oranges in season right now. This super easy showstopper is the perfect thing to make for a fancy night in and packed with citrusy, sweet zesty flavor! Trust me, you’re going to want to show this one off!

A zesty, fresh take on a fan favorite: Caesar Salad with chili lime seared salmon, creamy poblano dressing and tajin spiced panko breadcrumbs! A MUST MAKE this citrus season!

This is my most requested fall/winter catering recipes and a total crowd-pleaser! Inspired by one of my favorite salads of all time, the famous Charlie Bird farro salad, this is my winter-take with juicy pomegranate, fresh mint, toasted hazelnut, creamy feta and apple cider vinaigrette.

Pure comfort in a bowl, this Fall Minestrone Soup with butternut squash, spinach, cannellini beans, thyme, parmesan and pastini is incredibly nourishing and delicious.

If you also grew up going to California Pizza Kitchen, then you know how incredible this salad is! This is just one of those nostalgic cravings that hit me hard the other day and I knew I had to make it: chopped romaine, fresh corn and tomatoes, tangy bbq glazed chicken, cilantro ranch and crunchy tortilla chips. Is your mouth watering yet or just me? Even better, this one is dairy-free friendly, gluten-free and lightened up a bit!

My love of an everything lox bagel knows no bounds. To me, it has the perfect flavor combo: salty, garlicky, seedy, creamy, umami and pickle-y, which led my brain down a flavor rabbit hole, eventually culminating into the perfect summer pasta salad. I seriously haven't been this obsessed with a pasta salad in a long time. It's one that will have you coming back to the fridge for another bite over and over again.

Vietnamese food is just always a treat in my book, particularly Bahn Mi sandwiches and my absolute favorite place of all time for Bahn Mi is Nammi located in the Dallas Farmer's Market. They make an INCREDIBLE Bahn Mi that inspired me to make my own spin that is meal prep friendly and delicious! I hope you enjoy!

I don't know HOW this recipe slipped through the cracks! My Greek Inspired Lamb Meatballs + Garlic Yogurt Sauce is one of my most requested recipes and I am finally adding the recipe to the blog!! I love these meatballs because they are herby, flavorful and delicious with tangy, creamy yogurt sauce. Makes for an awesome app for your next dinner party or with lettuce cups, couscous or basmati for a weeknight dinner. Either way, you can't go wrong!

If I could eat buffalo wings and ranch every day for the rest of my life, I absolutely would. The combo makes my mouth water on cue every time and so I love coming up with more balanced meal ideas with this flavor duo.
